Guerlain Spring Rose, Petal Red, Daisy Red KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Spring Rose (609)
Guerlain Spring Rose (609) KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipstick Balm ($39.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a medium-dark, strawberry pink with soft, warm undertones and a light shine. It had medium pigmentation, which was buildable to semi-opaque coverage, but there was always translucency to it.
The consistency felt smooth, lightweight, and thin with a balm-like slide, but the thinness kept it from sliding around too much during wear. This shade stayed on well for three and a half hours and felt lightly moisturizing.

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).

Petal Red (709)
Guerlain Petal Red (709) KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipstick Balm ($39.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a muted, medium red with moderate, warm undertones and a soft sheen. The consistency felt smooth and lightweight, while being on the thinner side with moderate slip, so it didn’t slide around as much during wear but was balm-like. I
t had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied evenly but wasn’t as smoothing of my lip lines as some of the better-performing shades in the line have been. It lasted well for four hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.
