THE VERDICT:
Perfume and lipstick - these are two of my can't-live-without beauty items; I don't know any woman who can properly function without putting on their choice of fragrant aura and lip color; this is why Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire is a collection that resonates with me; first, they started with a fragrance line that has instantly become one of my staple scents and now, they've got a lipstick! La Petit Robe Noire Lip Colour is a juicy lipstick that promises three types of coverage in one product.
GUERLAIN LA PETITE ROBE NOIRE LIP COLOUR IN SUN TWIN SET IN DETAIL
This delectable shiny lipstick features POP pigments enveloped in fine oils and shine- boosting resin for a bright, true color finish, and lightweight texture allows for layering of the product easily; it is available in 20+ shades.
Sun Twin Set is a pinkish coral with a shiny finish; it's not patent-shiny; just the good ol' pretty shine. It is delicately flavoured for pleasant wear (but don't eat it!) and laced with the complementing fragrance. It has a melting consistency and easily clings onto the lips so don't make the mistake of leaving it in a warm place especially in this crazy heat!

So this lipstick promises three coverage in one product. Here are photos:
One layer- for a lip tint- like finish
Two layers- for a tint lip balm finish
Three layers- for a lipstick finish. I prefer wearing it as a lipstick because it smooths out lines.
I find the 'three coverage feature' true, but Sun-Twin-Set is no longer my color; I'm more into neutral and darker colors now. This lipstick is absolutely moisturizing, lightweight, and provides a plumping effect to the lips, plus texture is smooth and soft, and stays put, but doesn't feel sticky. Staying power is okay, but of course, it has to be retouched during wear due to its consistency; it also leaves a light stain on the lips when it has finally come off.
The 'three coverage feature' is cool, but I'm more of matte girl; I don't mind owning at least one from this collection though. If you're into shiny, moisturizing lipsticks, consider trying out this one because it has good quality and is one of the shiny lipsticks out there with the nicest finish.

I am a matte girl too (no matter how dry my lips are, I still adore them) but maybe this could be an exception. If this could be in the shade more darker / more neutral, I think that it would work wonders. The shade looks good on you though. And I love the fact that the color be built up and could go according to the look that you are going for. Should we talk about the packaging? It looks so fancy. I will just stare at this the whole entire day. Maybe, NYX's mattifying lipstick / gel could do the trick in making this matte? Or you could just powder it?
ReplyDeleteThey have 24 colors though and I've seen really nice neutrals; you should check them out. :)
DeleteI like the packaging! So classy! :D But I think I won't like this kind of lipstick, coz I'm a huge fan of matte lipsticks! When I'm wearing this kind of lipstick, I think I ate a lot of lechon baboy :(
ReplyDeleteSame!
DeleteRight now, really dig the dark or burgundyish color of lipstick...yet I am also digging this one as well....hope they come out with a darker or a neutral shade for this...
ReplyDeleteThere are 24 shades; I saw some neutral shades too. :)
DeleteThe color looks good on you Ms. Martha. I really enjoy reading your blog because you introduce me to brands that i thought were non existent. :D
ReplyDeleteI wish they include nail polish with it. I remember Christian Dior pairs their perfume (their classic poison) with matching nail polish and lipstick.
ReplyDeleteOh, I forgot to mention that this range has nail color as well, just like Dior! :D
Deletepretty on your lips ms m.. i may pass on this because of my love for MATTES! lalo na ngayon daming choices different brands plus affordable prices!
ReplyDeletePackaging is sooo adorbs! Somewhat reminds me of dior lippies. The formula looks like ysl rouge volupte.i think ill skip on this one though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing; it's like a glossier version of Rouge Volupte. :)
