Rouge G

OUR EDITORIAL REVIEW

Packaging:

Guerlain Rouge G lipstick comes in a fancy black and gold box inspired by jewelry boxes. What distinguishes it is that it comes with a mirror on the inside, which makes it easy to use the lipstick whenever. This box was designed by the prominent jewelry designer Lorenz Bäumer. However, this box is relatively big and might not fit in a clutch alongside your phone and wallet. In addition to that, if you display your lipsticks on a counter, you might not be able to place it vertically since it has oval-shaped angles.

Available colors:

You will find in the Rouge G 20 collection different colors of lipsticks, but the limited edition that we reviewed comes in two colors only, Glamorous Cherry and Flaming Red.

Tested color:

Glamorous Cherry which is red with a touch of golden sparkle.

Scent:

This lipstick has a fragrant scent of vanilla and flowers.

Texture:

Creamy, which makes it easy to apply on the lips and to spread evenly.

Effect:

What drew our attention was that this lipstick effectively moisturizes the lips, so you won’t need to apply lip balm ahead. We also noticed that it preserves its high color consistency for hours without fading.
You must beware, however, that it doesn’t dry on the lips and it stains. Therefore, you will have to reapply it several times a day, so you better always have it on you.

Price:

55 USD for a 3.4 gram size. This price is considered expensive even in comparison with other fancy brands. For instance, Rouge Dior Double Rouge lipstick that comes in the same size is sold at 37 USD. So is Chanel’s Rouge Coco which is similar to the mentioned Dior lipstick in size and in price. Whereas Estée Lauder’s Rouge Sculptant – Pure Color Envy lipstick is of a larger size (3.5 grams) and a lower price (39 USD).
