I see new releases literally every day, so I don’t get excited that often. But when I saw the photos of Givenchy’s Le Rouge lipstick I thought that is was a mind-blowing collection! I also knew that I had to get it!

I have bought it only last week, although it was released back in February, because the lovely  Givenchy PR actually sent me some lipsticks and polishes to show you and I did not want to get the same shades, so had to wait.  But the samples got lost, thanks to the glorious post workers, along with some of my other post…

I bought  the lipstick for my Birthday anyway, as I wanted at least one shade for my personal use.

The thing is that there are different shades available in different countries and I had my fingers crossed that I would be able to buy 302 Hibiscus Exclusif  which was the shade that attracted me. Luckily, I was able to find it.

So what is so special about Le Rouge?

Moreover, I like it to be a surprise.

Speaking about beauty wish list… I did

I am very happy to share the newest  Givenchy launches Le Rouge Givenchy and Les Vernis lines.

Although these products will be out only in February, I like them so much that wanted to share now. Mariacarla Boscono on the promos, black and red shades, leather and metal case – it’s like it was made for me.

I am just hoping that the design is as amazing in real life as it looks on the promos.

There will be twelve Le Rouge Givenchy lipsticks (£24/ €33)

These will come in leather and metal packaging. The lipsticks will have a velvet finish, light and creamy formula and intense pigmentation.

And guess what? Le Rouge will have a scent which was created by François Demachy and Nicolas Degennes  – delicate and subtly powdery mimosa and blackcurrant notes.

All shades are divided into three groups: Les Naturels, Les Roses and Les Créations.
