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

This is a trip down memory land for me because Years and years ago I used to buy that Lipstick (rouge H I think it was called?) it really lasted and was a rich deep red with a hint of brown from memory, and I still remember that simple gold case.
I've noticed since I've let my hair go grey the brown reds no longer work.
Saint laurent used to do a fabulous red but they've discontinued that now. Tom Ford I brought and the colour changed on my lips and not suit me so well.
Due to Covid we cant try lipsticks here (I'd be scared to anyway no matter how much they sanitised them) so trying too buy a new lipstick is a minefield !! (1st world problem huh?)

I have to say, this small launch has me really excited. Must be pandemic-induced, but I’m really looking forward to tomorrow! :smile:

I'm pretty excited for this one too! I love lipsticks that are balm texture and glossy.
Jumped on this morning and placed my order as it was up on the Australia site pretty early. Ordered Rose Tan blush as well, the description sold me, fingers crossed I love them all.

Just in case someone is looking for comparisons. Please excuse, in between meetings and therefore the swatches turned out miserably. I currently have light skin (no tan), yellow/warm undertone. The blushes are incredibly creamy. I think I detect a very faint smell which doesn’t bother me. Slightly flowery/soapy. It dissipates when touching the skin.

Try the color on the inside of your fingertip. It says to be similar to the color of your lips and thus the resultat should be realistic.

My store does not care the lipsticks so I am guessing they will not have the blush either. Would it be odd to ask my SA to have them ordered in for me? I've been interested in the lipstick as well, but have not asked.

Mention to your SA that “I was interested in buying some pieces from the makeup line but I know it’s not carried in our store. Is that something you could help me with or would you prefer I just order from online?” Likely, if there is another H in the same city that does carry the makeup, they will have a runner bring it over. If they have to ship it from another store, they may be less willing to do so due to the hassle vs reward.

Has anyone critiqued that these blushes hardly seem pigmented enough for darker skins? Unfortunately can't try in store but I'm flabbergasted at what swatches I see online.

That was the first thing I noticed as there was only one blush I thought would be slightly too dark for me (probably workable during summer). My SA confirmed they had noticed the same and that the blushes were supposed to be very subtle, that the shade range would be extending and that 2 shades were aimed at medium and darker skin tones, 2 for very light and the rest for everything in between. Quite disappointing and keen to hear what other members experience who are not as light as I am.

Thank you, that was my concern. We only have one Hermes store in my city, actually only one in the entire state. I did not want to have him deal with the hassle of transfer due to the low cost of the items. I will mention it to him when I go in this weekend and see how he responds.

From what I understand, they can’t. I asked my SA if he could do a transfer (a lipstick at the time), but he said they aren’t allowed to sell them/can’t ring them up thus also can’t order. The other boutique in my town does carry the make-up line, but for now I’ve only ordered online.
But perhaps as with most things H it varies, never hurts to ask your SA.
