Guerlain Red Teddy (021) La Petite Robe Noire Lip Colour
Guerlain Red Teddy (021) La Petite Robe Noire Lip Colour ($32.00 for 0.09 oz.) is a medium, pinky-red with subtle, cool undertones and a fine pearl. It had semi-opaque color coverage after two layers, which applied evenly and smoothly. The consistency was thin but smooth, so it wasn’t uncomfortable to wear or apply.

FORMULA OVERVIEW |
Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Lip Colour ($32.00 for 0.09 oz.) is supposed to be a “buildable, lightweight lipstick” with an “ultra-luminous” finish. They are deliberately scented to smell like La Petite Robe Noire, which is a sweet, fruity and floral fragrance–the scent is noticeable both in the tube and applied, though I do not notice it after about about an hour or so of wear (if you are sensitive to scent, I would consider trying these in person or purchasing with the ability to return). There was a somewhat soapy, sweet taste (it contains Stevioside, used as a sweetener) at times, particularly if I ate/drank with the lipstick on.
The coverage varied from semi-sheer to semi-opaque with a more stained-like appearance, as it wasn’t too slippery and had a natural sheen. Some of the shades run together, but they tend to look more varied once they are on the lips (and depending on the coloring of your natural lips, this may or may not be as apparent, particularly with pinker or redder lips). The sheerer nature of these makes it harder to know how they will look on against a mere swatch on the skin, and even from the tube-to-swatch comparison, they can look different.
They have a balm-like feel on the lips, and they tend to feel softer and melted as I applied them, but they weren’t too emollient or too thin or too thick. The formula wore between two and six hours on me with some of the richer, deeper shades lasted the longest, and it was lightly hydrating. As they’re a buildable formula (Guerlain describes it as one, two, and three-layer coverage), all swatches I did were using two layers. A couple of side notes: 1) the label is on the cap only, so if you take off multiple caps, it is possible to inadvertently put the wrong cap on the wrong shade, and 2) they can be less-than-ideal for storing, if you typically have yours vertical, as the flat-side has the label on it.

Too bad about the fragrance and packaging, but Red Bowtie looks like a beautiful, brightening red.
I wish the fragrance didn’t translate into a taste, at least!
They all look veeeeery pretty!
They do!
This range…..on G’s muse, Christine, all look superb. The close ups look as good as the distance shot. (Imo, much better than the first Loubilaque, that close shot was not wonderful.) This range is very refined, which is my mental image of Guerlain. The stevia would bug me…a tea had a bit of stevia leaf way down in the ingredients, and I kept thinking, What is wrong with this? Also prob too much fruity, floral scent. But they look grand.
Wow! You must have super taste buds!
Red Bowtie and Pink Bangle have just done what none of the other Petit Noir lipsticks have. Made me want them!!! Only catch is: that strong scent would have me gagging, I think. May need to try one on and see….
Trying one on is definitely the way to go 🙂
You look so beautiful in all of these colors.
I think they are a worthy buy, thanks for showing them!
No problem, Sandra!
