Guerlain Fresh Coral, Peach Kiss, Fuchsia Flush KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Fresh Coral (309)
Guerlain Fresh Coral (309) KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipstick Balm ($39.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a light-medium, pinky-coral with moderate, warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It had medium color coverage, which was somewhat buildable, but it never approached full coverage.
The texture was lightweight, thin but not clingy, and balmy in its slip; the thinness seemed to keep it in place a bit better than if it was thicker. It could have been more smoothing of my lip lines, though. This shade lasted for three 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).

Peach Kiss (319)
Guerlain Peach Kiss (319) KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipstick Balm ($39.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a muted, medium coral with stronger, warmer undertones and a soft sheen. It had medium pigmentation that was buildable to semi-opaque coverage with a second layer. The texture was lightweight, lightly emollient but not too slippery, and thin, though it didn’t emphasize my lip texture as some thinner formulas can. It stayed on decently for three hours and felt lightly moisturizing.

Fucshia Flush (409)
Guerlain Fucshia Flush (409) KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipstick Balm ($39.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark pink with warm undertones and a soft sheen. It had medium pigmentation, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips thanks to its balmy consistency–lightweight, thin but with moderate slip–but definitely wasn’t full coverage.
It was fairly forgiving of lip lines and lip texture, as marketed. It wore well for three and a half hours and felt lightly hydrating.

Peach Kiss looks just right for this time of year and all through summer! It’s just very fresh and juicy looking. Perfect!
This formula is a bit disappointing for the price – Guerlain’s lipsticks are so expensive that you would expect an A or an A+.
