Constantly going back to this thread to see more pictures!! Thank you everyone who posted swatches (you, enabler, you )

I purchased the rose lipstick #40, rose epice#21 and the limited edition violet insense #94 from the H website.


Btw, how long do these lipsticks last before they turn bad? I don't wear lipstick and make-up everyday as I'm a SAHM. I'm wondering if buying 3 lipsticks are too much if I'm not going to use them everyday.

Another public service photo...Satin Rouge Piment. Definitely a red with a slight blue undertone on me.

This is such a beautiful red on you! You made excellent choices!

I went to the store today and the SA practically manhandled me into the make-up chair to sell me some lipstick, lol. The store was oddly quiet for a Saturday so I was able to spend 30 minutes with the make-up artist. I wanted a pink shade and found one

First I'm posting the shade I did NOT get, which is Rose Mexique. It's pretty but on me it looked a bit blah and pale. I wore it home from the store so I was able to try it with both a light and dark sweater.

Second is what I purchased, Rose Indien. I wanted something punchy and this fit the bill! It looks reddish in the pics but that must be just the light. It's pretty pink in real life. (I also took a pic in sunlight).
Verdict: I love this H lipstick! I've been wearing it for 3 hours now and my lips still feel very hydrated. The color is holding on even though i ate and drank in the meantime.

I suggest wearing the lipstick daily. I know what you mean about not putting makeup on every day. I dont either, but I do wear lipstick most of the time!

Twins with you too hope you love everything.

I think they are quite lovely, but find that Serge Lutens and La Bouche Rouge surpass them in quality and staying power.
The lip brush has since arrived, and I have to admit I was a little underwhelmed with it. For €75 I at least expected a cap so I can take it along wherever I go. The plastic cover seems rather flimsy, especially since CC had assured me beforehand that the cover would be made from leather .

Aren't you glad you hadn't purchased any of the gifted ones? It was so exciting to open it! I was going to get the poppy lip shine and the lip balm so was very happy that they were included. I will try the darker colors for sure but may not be bold enough for orange or red.

So glad! I bought the balm, but was actually considering a second for keeping at the office so it works out! I can’t do orange just too far out of my comfort zone. I hope someone who rocks it can post pictures here-I’d love some inspiration. But i’ll definitely try the others!

They didn’t give enough thought to the lipstick brush. I’ve seen a lot of very nice retractable brush styles they could have modeled the design on, and it would have made a big difference with practicality.

Absolutely, and they could have used the brushed metal for the cap. If drugstore brands can put a cap on a brush... but Tom Ford’s doesn’t come with a cap either.

I just purchased Rose Encens from the H web site. So excited to give it a try! I think it will be the right color for me… I gravitate toward muted shades of pink.

Has anyone tried the lip liner yet? The H site doesn't have it, but some of the other retailers do.

The lip liner feels like a very soft sort of silicon layer. No color, and much softer in feel than the Guerlain KissKiss Primer. I consider it more of a primer than a lip liner because of that.

Swatches of the ones I got, bottom right pic is after removing the swatches twice with makeup remover! Pigmentation of these lippies is great.
L-R:
48 Rose Boise-Matte
21 Rose Epice-Satin
64 Rouge Casaque-Matte
51 Coral Fou-Satin


The lippies on me. EXCUSE the bathrobe LOL
Rose Epice would be a great day-to-day option. Nude-ish Pink, somewhat sheer but can be darkened with a lip pencil underneath. Corail Fou is a perfect summer shade! My ultimate FAVE is the Rouge Casaque!!! Makes my teeth look whiter! My least fave is Rose Boise, its pink with purple undertone. Tends to look a bit too brown/purple on me after a while. But I can correct it with a lip pencil underneath to make it work.

Overall I truly LOVE the Matte formula more than Satin. It wore well for 12 hours without touching up!! The BEST matte I own. Not drying at all, stays silky smooth all day long without seeping into the fine lines. The Satin on the other hand tends to seep into my fine lines after few hours.
Pigmentation of both is top notch!
Very light sweet scent, not overwhelming at all. I didn’t smell anything once its on.


I used the lip brush to apply the MAC paint pot and Laura Mercier color sticks as I never use a brush to apply lipstick. Works awesome! Ordered this online earlier, see my previous post.
The lacquered handle is very well made and the Permabrass ferrule is beautiful! Worth the 75 Euros. CON: there’s NO CAP! Useless for traveling or taking it in your bag. I’d FREAK OUT if I get a lipstick stain inside my bag! There’s just a black, flimsy sleeve covering the bristles


I also got the mirror in Gold, Madame leather, 545 Euros. Wish I had a bag in this leather. Softer than Epsom, similar texture. LOVE!!!!


Saw the Rouge Piment. STUNNING RED!!!!



The pop-up case is way too bulky imo and way too overpriced. Would look PRETTY on the vanity though
But for 1520 Euros, no thanks LOL

Saw the other lipstick case in Paris but it was kinda dissapointing actually. I miss the H craftmanship in it. Hardly any stitching, just where the mirror is attached in the inside. I couldn’t take pics as it wasn’t launch date yet. At 394 Euros I expect to see a bit more quality.
Again a bit too bulky for my small bags! Maybe if H releases more fun, bright colors I’d be tempted to get 1.

The paper bag for the Beauty launch. So happy I got 1!

Refills of the lipstick will be available in June. H will do 3 different Ltd Edition colors every 6 months. Blush and eyeshadow will be released in Fall! Can’t wait for those!!!!

Sorry for the loooong post

the colors look beautiful on you! Now I have to get the Rose Boise after all, and, if I can still find it, the Corail Fou

Thank you… that's helpful. I already own a primer that works for me (the one by Mac) so for now I think I'll pass. I can put the $$$ I saved towards another H lippie!
