Givenchy Le Rouge Lipsticks Swatches

Once you get a hold of an amazing high end lipstick- you wonder how you could have used anything else!

This was my first time trying a lipstick from Givenchy. I had no idea what to expect!

Let's start out with the Givenchy Le Rouge ($38.00)  packaging.
Gorgeous!

The lipstick is encased in a real leather packaging with silver accents.

These lipsticks are semi-matte.
It's the perfect mix of a satin and matte lipstick.
Sooo creamy and moisturizing.

This lipstick-as-accessory delivers intense colors and a semi-mat finish all in one stroke.

Givenchy Makeup & Fendi Fall 2012

Have you ever had the opportunity to be inside a Sephora before it opened to the public?
 I have!

Givenchy: Noir Couture 4 in 1 Mascara

If I was stuck on an island and could choose only one item, I would choose Mascara! My obsession started at 12 years old. Fifteen years later, I think I have tried every brush type there is out there. There is very few that impress me out there but Givenchy has come out with something new and revolutionary.

Noir Couture 4 in 1 Mascara
$35.00
A four-in-one mascara that creates intense volume,
strong curl, infinite length, and complete lash care.

Packaging:
The packaging is gorgeous and fashionable. The silhouette reminds me of a building. It's tall, dark and has a glossy silver accent.

Brush:
I love the idea of the three spirals. I own nothing like this in my collection. This brush can used in many different ways: Use all three spirals, use two or just just one. Whatever your comfortable with! If you want volume this brush will definitely give it to you. Since I already have super curly lashes, I can't tell you if it gives a strong curl.

Formula:
The consistency is perfect. Its not dry nor is it too wet. Each application is smooth. On a simple day, one good application is enough to last you one whole day. If you want sky high lashes wait 2 minutes after every coat.

 This multitasking mascara is formulated with Givenchy’s exclusive Lash Booster Expert Complex that provides nutrition, revitalization, fortification, and protection.

Overall, I'm in love with this mascara. I've been in a mascara rut and Noir couture has pulled me out of it! I'm so happy that I got to try and I can't wait to see what Givency has coming out for Fall/Winter.
