The MakeUp Drawer: Nudey Tuesday: Givenchy Rouge Interdit Satin ...
This week's Nudey Tuesday focuses on Givenchy's Rouge Interdit Satin Lipstick in "26 Voluptuous Nude." At $28, these are a little on the pricey side so I bought this with a 10% off V.I.B. coupon. These lipsticks come in a beautiful array of colors -lots of pinks and nudes (my favorites!) I was so excited when I bought this.. I went home, popped open the tube, and this is what I got: I absolutely love the "look" of the packaging for these. The lid itself is black with the "Givenchy" printed on it in small silver letters. Unlike other lipsticks, the lid extends all the way to the bottom of the tube (most go half way) and is a sleek, cubed shape (instead of round.) The tube itself is actually silver with the Givenchy logo and symbol imprinted on the bottom half. At the bottom of the tube is a silver square with the Givenchy logo and then a black ribbon at the end. The only thing is that I felt the lid was sort of "loose" and could easily come off the tube -which is risky if I'm carrying it in my purse. The first thing I notice about this lipstick is that it is very moisturizing. However, I don’t feel that it “becomes one” with my lips. It doesn’t feel like a lip balm –still very much a lipstick. The texture is creamy and smooth and feels really nice on. The lipstick applies evenly and effortlessly –perfect for on the go. I also love that it gives your lips a nice sheen and doesn’t accentuate my lip lines or create flakes as some other pale or nude lipsticks tend to do if the formula is drying. The lasting ability is pretty long too but I tend to eat a lot so I can't give you any specifics. For me, it would last for about 2 hours but that's because I tend to eat or snack every 2 hrs or so. In my experience, there are no flaws in the product itself. I could only wish for more moisture (my lips are super ridiculously dry at times.) I will comment on the pigmentation of the particular color next but the majority of these lipsticks, in my experience, tend to be very pigmented.
