Guerlain La Petite Robe Noir (463) Gloss d’Enfer Maxi Shine ($30.00 for 0.25 fl. oz.) is a pink-mauve with gold shimmer. MAC Comfort & Joy has more shimmer, so it appears a bit lighter and more mauve. Bobbi Brown Naked Plum is darker, more plum.

The color is very similar to my natural lip color, so when applied to my lips, it brightens, emphasizes the pink tones, and adds shimmer while not altering the overall color too much. If you look at my lip freckle, you’ll notice that it’s actually rather hidden–there’s a hint of it coming through, so I’d classify this as a semi-sheer to semi-opaque gloss.  Guerlain described the pigmentation of the formula to vary from sheer to more opaque, which means it’ll depend on the shade.

The consistency is very lightweight with a gel-like texture that’s non-sticky and doesn’t slide around. La Petite Robe Noir lasted for three and a half hours, which is on the longer end for such a thin gloss, but about average for gloss (in my experience) overall. It was hydrating, though, and it’s definitely one of the more hydrating glosses I’ve tried. The gloss has a light floral scent and comes in a clear, flat tube with a doe-foot applicator.

I’ve been looking for other swatches & images of these, but I’ve had little luck, so I have to ask – Are any of these glosses shimmer-free? I’d love to try out the formula but I’m a bit of a shimmerphobe when it comes to lip products.

When I saw the tube photo of this, I got so excited thinking it might be a dupe for Cle de Peu #2 Lipgloss or Le Metier de Beaute Papaya Cream. Too bad!!

basic shade. i like the princess-y vibe to it 😀 too expensive and kinda settles in the lines a bit much considering it’s just semi-sheer and not a cream.

Hi Christine,
I just wanted to say you look so radiant in this photo and your eyebrows are totally to die for!!
I’m very envious!
What foundation and shade are you wearing?
What I love so much about your reviews is that you include a full face shot which seems to be very rare on other sites but give so much of a better overall impression of what the product looks like. So thank you so much for all your hard work.

Christine!

Your makeup and complexion look amazing in this photo! I noticed you only have marked that you were wearing the Urban Decay Bourbon liner and this gloss…is that true? It appears that you would be wearing a sort of bronzy-hued blush and maybe a little foundation or powder…? Might I ask what it is?

Christine, how does this compare to MAC’s Nymphette? Sounds like the the formula is completely different, but how close is the colour/amount of shimmer? Thanks a bunch!
