On my last blog I told you all about my shopping spree and showed my new lipstick off. The Rouge de Guerlain 'G' jewel lipstick compact. I also mentioned, that I actually wanted the newer Rouge Automatique in a rather nude shade.
But I was and am very happy with my gorgeous shade of red. I'm wearing it way more often than I had expected. The 21 gala color is great for day, as well as night. I'm especially loving it combined with my red heels and red lingerie.
For the pin up feeling, that is.
However, when I want something, I really want it.
I guess when it comes to the house of Guerlain, you just can't go for silver alone. You need both. Which is why I spoiled myself with the Rouge Automatique lipstick in 101 Violette De Madame.
Usually I get lured in by the name of a lipstick or nail polish.
I would go for something that sounds attractive to me.
Initially I went to the cosmetic department store to see the shades Bal de mai, Cherry Blossom & Rose Bengale.
It was very crowded and a lot of testers were missing, which is why I grabbed the first nude to catch my glance. It was Violette De Madame. Little did I know, I would be walking out of the store with this shade. I first tried it on my hand and wasn't impressed. All the staff seemed busy, so after a couple of more looks, I left the store. But when I looked at the lipstick shade again, in daylight, I realized this was a perfect shade for me.
Went back, bought it and I've been wearing it all day now.
I love how it feels on my lips and the color is wonderful for those days, when I want to have a more bronze/nude/natural look, instead of vamp-ish and alluring.
Both shades are now living happily ever after in my handbag, so that they can be applied often and make the lips smooth to the kiss and seductive to the eyes. *winks*
