Rouge G de Guerlain Review

I got this lipstick a few weeks ago and was so excited first of all to find a stockist so close and secondly because I have been lusting after this product for so long.

A friend recommended this brand to me last year but mostly I was sold by the packaging!!!

So here’s my review:

Shade 15

Formula:

Guerlain say “Exceptional Complete Lip ColourLipstick is reinvented in an exceptional jewel with Rouge G, a subtle balance of intense colour and the comforting pleasure of a creamy lip balm. Behind this magical creation is an astounding formula: the unique combination of ruby powder for spectacular radiance, hyaluronic acid spheres for perfectly smoothed lips and wild mango butter for lasting hydration.

Lips are intensely coloured, perfectly smoothed, moisturised and plumped up. For excessively perfect lips!”

This was a rich creamy texture which feels really nice. 10/10

Staying power:

This shade is neutral and a bit translucent, one of the reasons I choose it as a neutral lippie so it does require a bit of reapplication throughout the day but overall quite good staying power! Also any excuse to whip it out and show off the amazing packaging!!  8/10

 

Packaging:

Ok 10/10 with the built in mirror this is the best packaging I have seen in a long time!!

It is a bit bigger than your regular lipstick, but it’s worth it.

 

Smell:

They say:      “The light, delicate scent of a vanilla "floriental" leaves its incomparable mark on Rouge G de Guerlain. Top notes sparkle with a lemon, orange and bergamot accord. The rose and iris heart exudes sweetness. The vanilla and tonka bean dry-down gives Rouge G all of its intensity.”

In short it smells lovely! 10/10

Price:

This set me back €42 (£30.51 or $46.96) it is a bit pricey but we all deserve a splurge every now and again so why not.

 

Overall I love this product and would like to get more colours but it is a treat at the moment so we’ll see!
