Givenchy Le Rouge #310 Croisière Coral (summer collection 2013)

Givenchy came out with 2 new Le Rouge lipsticks and as a huge fan of these lipsticks, of course I had to check them out.

The one that stood out immediately was #310 Croisière Coral and purchased it without any hesitation.

Givenchy Le Rouge #310 Croisière Coral.

Croisière Coral is a corally pink shade and an absolute stunner in this collection. The other Le Rouge lipstick in the summer collection was Croisière Fushia and as the name already suggests, it's a fushia colour with a hint of pink in it.

As you can see, instead of the regular black leather case, the lipsticks in this collection both have a white packaging which is the only thing they changed.

Texture is creamy with a silicony feel to it without being slippery on the lips. Someone mentionned before that it's quite simular to the Addiction cheek sticks in terms of texture and I have to agree.

For those who have very dry lips, a balm underneath will definitely help to make this lipstick go on smoother. Quite long lasting and not drying on the lips whatsoever.

Some comparision swatches to see if they are any dupes out there and as you can see on the picture, I don't have a shade like Croisière Coral in my stash yet so this lipstick will fill that niche perfectly.

So I'll take back what I said about not reviewing lipsticks since there are so many formulas to try out, it's almost impossible not to try one out once and awhile.

One of them is the new Givenchy Le Rouge lipstick range that has recently came out.

I purchased 2 of them, # 301 Magnolia Organza  and #303 Corail Decollete but this review will be for the #301 Magnolia Organza. Maybe I'll review Corail Decollete another time.

Magnolia Organza

So Magnolia Organza is a pretty coral pinkish shade with a little hint of fushia. It's quite cool toned but brightens up my face.

Givenchy Le Rouge #301

First let's talk about the packaging. It's made out of a sleek black leather material combined with silver parts on the sides.
And the best most luxurious about it is that it has a little stud on the bottom of the tube. Yes that's correct... a freakin silver stud!

Texture feels very light and smooth on my lips, reminds me a bit of a silicony feel. Some people have mentionned they are simular to the Addiction cheek sticks but personally I find the Addiction cheek stick a bit drier.

It gives a pretty sheen to the lips but I wouldn't call it a satin finish, more like a natural semi-matte finish.

I'm well aware that this is becoming a lipstick blog but I find the new Givenchy lipsticks worth getting (if you don't mind the price tag) hence the little review.

There is only so much you can talk about when it comes to lipstick so I'll conclude this mini review with some comparison swatches.
