So far... Rouge Casaque and Rose Nuit. The former because I have been faithful to Serge Lutens’ mat lipsticks since they came out and RC is the only one that has come close in hue AND staying power (lesser but decent). The latter because the texture and tone just make my lips look luscious... and I never thought I’d love that kind of pink, but it’s just gorgeous with that vague darkening undertone to it.

If anyone is interested - I just noticed the Noir Lizard Lipstick case is on usa h.com. I placed an order. Will see if I receive it.
Just because the color seems lighter in real life than on many pictures I have seen so far, I‘m posting my lasted acquisition, Rose Oasis, a very springy vivid pink, not as dark or cool as I thought.
My hubby was pointing out that with the speed I‘m spending money on H beauty -hello brushes and blush(es), I‘m coming for you on Thursday - I could have also worked towards another bag. Horrible thought! I do love beauty, but the bags own my heart.
But bags are definitely still a birthday/xmas/anniversary occasion for me. Beauty of all my favorite brands are pick-me-ups, especially since last year.

I'd love one of the lipsticks as I was always known for having a signature red or purple (yes purple) lipstick however wearing a mask all day every day at work lipstick is no longer an option there.
for my very long awaited dinner dates coming up once restaurants reopen for indoor dining (we've booked already!) which of the Hermes reds is the perfect Matt blue/red..bearing in mind I LOVE Mac Ruby Woo despite it drying my lips out.
We cant try in store so I have to rely on recommendation and I know you're a strong lipstick gal.
Hi
as many colors as I’ve bought, I haven’t fully dived into the reds yet, as I have so many other amazing reds (louboutin, lutens, La Bouche Rouge). Generally, I would say that Rouge Casaque is a winner, but it’s more neutral-warm. Rouge Bleu and Rouge Piment are cooler. I have neither of those, but I’m sure Momoc or one of the other ladies have a good recommendation. If you love Ruby Woo, as do I, you probably would like the original Rouge Louboutin Velvet Matte. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
People who have more experience with h.com can answer this for me. When do new launches usually go up on the site? I want to get in early to be sure I get the shade of blush I want. I don’t live anywhere near an Hermès store, so online is really my only option.
They will likely be available early in the AM. Other luxury department stores, like Bloomingdales etc, will also be carrying them so I wouldn’t stress too much about selling out. None are LE.
I have to say, this small launch has me really excited. Must be pandemic-induced, but I’m really looking forward to tomorrow!
Rouge Amazone
Classic, neutral red on me although I detect a hint of brown in it but still relatively a light red.
I have neutral, light peach skin-tone, high-colour, brown-pink natural lip colour. I can't imagine this colour would not look good on most though. It also makes for quite a good red lip stain very lightly applied, blotted, balm on top.
Rouge H is too dark for me, Rouge Casaque slightly more corral, better for an olive or cooler skin-tone IMO.
There is a blue-red (Rouge Bleu of course) but Rose Velour sounds like it would be beautiful on you too.
Hermes several years back did a wonderful simply called Rouge.. It came in a very simple
gold case & the color was divine.
One of the reasons I was so excited when first reading about H lipsticks, I thought the
"REDS" would work for me. But they don't. I have to mix them with other shades I have
. I have used Rouge Casaque, Rouge Bleu & Rouge Amazone
& I still can't get the red I like. However, I am a sucker for the limited edition cases & now
am using the cases for other things.
There are other reds in the market that are more suited to what I like including La Bouche Rouge,
Tom Ford & SL. But it really is very individual how these shades read on us.
I'm not a blush gal but I did buy the lipstick case with the mirror & just purchased a couple
of sleeves...
Hermes can leave me breathless at times.. LOL
