A little report on the moisture level of Rose Dakar. It is very nice, I applied it once, just after lunch. Many hours later, after a supper of pizza eaten in a non attractive way (lol) glass of wine in hand, I still had full coverage, muted of course but still a complete stain across my lips. I removed the lipstick before bed and my lips feel wonderfully hydrated. Mat day tomorrow, let’s see what happens.

I have chosen and ordered my first red, Casaque mat and I am delighted to have come to a decision. The one thing that is pleasing me greatly from what Hermes is saying, this is the core collection and will remain so, with three special editions per season. Which means I have plenty of time to choose new favourites as the mood takes me. Picking up new lipsticks is one of my delicious treats and it is nice to think they will be there when I want them.

Tell me ladies, what clever ideas have you come up with to use the tiny orange boxes and lipstick bags?

You can swipe on one shade then 'ombre' effect by dabbing another shade in the middle of lips with your finger, even quite different colours can work together - also with different colour lip pencils you can either tone down (use a shade close to the lipstick) or use a richer colour to make it pop. Lisa Eldridge has some fab lipstick tutorials.

I don't mix colours but I'd think you would use a brush for the 2nd layer.

I use to watch my mom mix her lipsticks, and she would put one color in the middle and then another color on the outer part of the lip like a liner and then press her lips together. It worked for my mom, who was much more glamorous than I.

Thank you all. I will try using a brush and see how it goes. Thanks!

Review of Rose Inouï

I just wanted to put the (pink) cat among the pigeons.

I was a bit worried about the unusual colour choice for me (bright/light) and the reports but OMG, I love it, it's the best non-neutral I've ever worn. Now I'm really dreading finishing it and hate it's a ltd ed and won't be able to get it again (Horizon order for 100?). I was far more excited about the ltd ed case of it, even didn't care if I had to give the lipstick away just for the holder. It was supposed to be Rose Boise that was supposed to be the dead cert (which I also like). Rose Inouï is going to be perfect for Summer.

Wear: Tried it before just to test the colour but I hadn't worn it for long.This matte formula is creamy and fine for me (Dior did a real matte a few years ago called Diorific Khol Precious Rocks which stay on the lips 'till next week') I'm also someone who blots their lipstick. My lips are not particularly dry so I think the staying power is pretty good, about 4 hours as applied and then fade rather than rub off (which I like).

Colour: On my lips it's NOT orange or even salmony, but that's on my lips, it's just PINK. As I mentioned before though my lips are quite dark and pinky anyway. I'm also a lipstick wimp (at least by day) so I just apply lightly. It has a '60s vibe to it for sure. I think it looks good with black (what I'm wearing today) as well as more Spring like colours.
