Eternal Rose (219)
Guerlain Eternal Rose (219) KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipstick BalmGuerlain Eternal Rose (219) KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipstick Balm ($39.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a muted, medium pink-coral with subtle, warm undertones and a soft sheen. It had semi-sheer pigmentation, which was buildable to medium coverage, but it was definitely not full coverage.
The texture felt lightweight, lightly emollient but not too slippery, and thin without clingy uncomfortably to my lips. It lasted for two and a half hours and felt lightly hydrating.

Formula Overview
$39.00/0.11 oz. - $354.55 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to offer "full-coverage" with a "high-shine" finish that leaves lips looking smoother and hydrated. The coverage ranged from medium to mostly opaque with a few shades closer to full-coverage. The texture was smooth, lightly emollient, and balm-like, as expected, that was comfortable to apply and to wear.
The majority of the shades applied evenly, softened the look of my lip lines, and were forgiving of imperfections, though some of the lighter shades were less forgiving. They lasted between three and five hours with darker, more red-based shades lasting longer and leaving subtle stains behind. The formula had a strong, floral scent and subtle, soapy taste at times (though consistent with the brand's lip products and their fragrance).

Guerlain Petal Blush (229) KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipstick BalmGuerlain Petal Blush (229) KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipstick Balm ($39.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a medium-dark, rosy pink with subtle, warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-sheer to medium color payoff that applied evenly but could have been more smoothing (part of the formula’s claims).
The texture was lightweight, thin but not clingy, and comfortable to apply and to wear as it had some slip but didn’t slide around too much during wear. It wore well for three and a half hours and felt lightly moisturizing.

My Kiss Glow (258)
Guerlain My Kiss Glow (258) KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipstick BalmGuerlain My Kiss Glow (258) KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipstick Balm ($39.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a light pink with barely-there warmth paired with a balmy sheen. The texture was lightweight, smooth, and more balm-like, though thin.
It had sheer color coverage that provided a light tint and shine to my lips, though the shine lasted for an hour or less. The formula seemed lightly hydrating after wearing it back-to-back a few times (since it didn’t seem to last long).

Well huh, only Petal Blossom is giving me any sort of good feels. Even then, I’m not sure why I put it on my WL before reading your review first, because it’s not exactly spectacular!
Hmmm – not that great, are they?
