How are the lipsticks sampled in the store? Do they use individual disposable brushes on the product?

At my store, the SA sanitized the bullet and then swatched it directly on the back of my hand. I didn’t see any sampling brushes. I don’t know whether it was a “please don’t lift a finger, Madame” or a ”please don’t get your corona-laden paws all over our display” situation, but you definitely had to wait your turn to approach the display, with the SA right there to help you.

On a side note, the beauty SA had this holster thingy like MAs wear around their waists for their tools, but it was gold leather like that crossbody bag that the regular SAs wear (which I’ve always wanted for myself.) I wonder whether H made a new accessory just for lipstick SAs!

LOL!! I’m actually afraid to get near cosmetics counters at the moment. Not panicking, just being extra cautious.

Our boutique had many single use brushes for you to try anything you liked.

Thank you for all the helpful info! Your comment about the lipstick price line made me laugh. I “justified” my own purchases because the cases are :reusable: Hmm. As usual H has found st else for me to go after. I bought rose zinzolin online Friday, then yesterday couldn’t stand it and bought the Ltd edition violet. As I did so I thought, but I could have bought that pocket square I wanted for my anemone bag instead (almost)!! That’s the H economy at work for you.

And Bova, special thanks to you for your fearless modeling even though it challenged your comfort zone!! You look lovely and your modeling the colors on is very helpful.

Thank you so much DrTr

Beautiful

Thank you MsAli, you are so kind!

Totally shocked to have chosen the satin version of Orange Boite yesterday. I have never worn an orange lip in my life, but I’m a big lipstick junkie (it’s the only makeup I know how to apply!), and it’s a shade missing from my vast collection, so I thought why not try it? It’s surprisingly flattering on cool-toned pale skin, and it actually helps offset the pinkness in my skin that I don’t bother covering up with makeup. I’d encourage anyone drawn to it to give it a try, as you might find it as wearable as I do!

Great staying power on these too. I’m very picky with lipsticks and tend to prefer Serge Lutens, NARS, and Guerlain for comfortable wear, staying power, and an even fade once the color inevitably does start to disappear. These definitely stack up on all counts.

Gorgeous!

I have to agree with the poster above who said the Mats were great but the satin not as much. I love Mat lipsticks and stains, so was very pleased with the RI Mat. The Violet Intense Satin was just OK. I need to put something punchier under to get that intense berry colour I desire.

Here is the RI with a Dior lip maximizer underneath,

I have medium brown SE Asian skin, with pink undertones so I can wear pinks, and yellow overtones, I can wear reds but I have not found the right shade yet.

I have difficulty with beige nude tones on my lips, so I tend to do deeper rose-beiges as neutrals.

Lovey colors on you Genie27!

Ooh the reds are calling to me in this collection. At the moment I am fascinated by the difference between Piment and Casaque. As well as the difference in silk and mat in those colours. (If Piment comes in a mat) Has anyone any pics of these?

Hi Mandycharlie, I posted Rouge Piment, the satin version here: Hope this helps!

I’m sure you’ve seen your share of swatches already. I wanted to share additional details from the surprise PR package I received from H!

Oh thank you Bova, it is very pretty. I wonder what the difference will be like between the two, I just don’t seem to be able to judge it. Btw, I have exactly the same scarf.

So useful, thank you.

Thanks! I was so shocked i didn’t look like a child who’d eaten an orange popsicle

Oh nooooooo I can see that color being so incredible with your hair and eyes. It’s so unfortunate how capricious lipstick formulas can be. Tom Ford and Cle de Peau slide all over my face but look so good on others. Did you try both matte and satin yet?

I wish it were possible to order the little sample packs online for those who aren’t near a store. I bet it would look beautiful on you, but these are pricey gambles....

Satin. I might pop into the boutique this week and try some other color in matte. Not that any colors are missing from my stash of lipsticks, LOL.

Omg
This is the one I ordered, I can’t wait!!

Not necessarily. I know their website inventory isn't always up to date, but once you get a shipment confirmation, then you'll know that it went through.

Thank you!
