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.

It looks great with your coloring. And, you have the most gorgeous lips to begin with. If I had lips like yours, I'd be wearing lipstick constantly to draw attention to them!

Honestly, MaiTai, you take the best pictures - doesn't matter what the subject is, you always nail it! I am proud to be your lipstick twin - well, once my RE arrives, hopefully tomorrow. Can't wait to try it; hoping not to somehow lose it!

Happy to see you back on tpf, too. I found that I missed it and all the lovely people who share my H. affliction.

It looks great on you and another beautiful lip shawl pairing.
 
You must be their VVVIP to get a complimentary set. Thanks for sharing !!
Defffffinitely not a VIP. I thought it was my SA, but I asked her and she had no idea. She’s so surprised that she’s sharing it with the SM tomorrow hahaha. The papers say it’s from H corporate via their press & influence team :) I’d like to note that I have a decent following on IG, so I suppose that’s why I received. However, I have no idea how they found my home address unless they looked me up via their database aka my purchase history... A little invasive, but I’m too happy to care! I never expected H to notice me LOL

I also received one and I have zero following on Instagram, so that must only be part of the picture! My store was surprised but very happy for me that I received one. There must be a list out there but I’m just so excited to have received such a lovely gift!
 
How are the lipsticks sampled in the store? Do they use individual disposable brushes on the product?
The MUA at my local H swatched it on her own hand. I never let them put it on my lips anyway. Even after they swiped it on a tissue. Especially now w the Corona craziness those samples will NOT come anywhere near my lips LOL
Some MUA does spray the lipstick with alcohol after swiping it on a tissue, but I prefer not try it on my lips.

You look great and what a helpful review! Thanks for doing that - I’m eagerly awaiting 2 colors and everyone’s experience is helpful.

C9368AD6-2EB8-47A1-93FE-E93A5C95BF49.jpeg I haven’t seen this on lips, so I thought I’d show you. My Rose Zinzolin arrived today. It’s not nearly as purple as I thought. I do like the color but I wouldn’t have minded even more purple. It is fragranced, and it has that H undertone to it. I have quite a few Hermes perfumes so the DNA is there. It’s pretty light but seems to have a bit of lasting power.

Please forgive no other makeup. I actually have PJs on but I wrapped a scarf around quickly to match the lipstick. (I also don’t know how to edit my eyes out of the picture on this new phone so you’ll have to see my entire mature face. :smile:.

It’s a satin so very creamy. I’m home all day so will just wear as normal and see how it lasts. I should have two others coming, plus a nano and coin holder-everytime I look something else ends up in my cart. :smile:. I really want the beige kalahari but it’s out everywhere, so I’ll have to wait. Sure wish I lived near a boutique-it’s my sad refrain. :smile:.

Love this color, and you look lovely in it, thanks for showing us. I have this color on the way and it’s a relief to see it looking so nice. I too thought it would be more purple, but I also ordered the violet LE, perhaps combining the two will make a purple muted color than the LE alone. I often mix colors over a balm. My only hope is it is not too fragranced - I’ve been accused of having a “dog’s nose” because I have such an intense sense of smell. Many lipsticks, lotions, creams and balms have fallen to the wayside if they are too perfumey. Perfume isn’t something I can wear at all, so fingers crossed. The colors and the descriptions overall sound perfect though!!!

Thanks again - your post was so helpful!

PS I laughed out loud at how every time you look something else ends up in your cart - as if by divine intervention I imagine :P
 
Hi all, for those who ordered their lipstick(s) from hermes.com, was signature required for your package? I know that H requires signature required for everything else on their site, but I'm wondering if they're requiring signature required for just a lipstick which is much lower value than other items.

Thanks!
