The Beige Kalahari looks like my natural lip color so when I put it on, it just blends in and is meh. the Rose Encens is much better but still not wow!, you know? I have NARS, MAC, Dior and Chanel neutrals that are much better on me.

Thanks for your feedback! I don't wear lipstick so only have a few old MAC lipsticks in my drawer. I think I will now pass on Beige Kalahari but will get Rose Epice! Do you have any thoughts around matte vs. satin?

I think both formulas are really nice and I like them both.

Yes it’s on the scarf, no big deal. It’s not like I’m rubbing them against each other. Besides it’s just a scarf...
And no it’s not a plastic lipstick demo/tester... You can see my IG stories that it’s a real lipstick and I don’t even think they can sell those.

Is that lipstick directly touching the ssscarrff??

Yes I suspect many of us here are wondering! I immediately got anxious as lipstick is SO hard to remove from silk! Inquiring and uneasy minds want to know

I think it might be the plastic lipstick for show only?

Hi, new to the forum. Wanted to join the conversation. Both of those colors are very nice as all the others! I received three of five lipstick order last week. I LOVE the lip balm!! I’ve been using Chanel lip baum. Now I’m switching!!

Did you check out the H lipstick cases? I received the red with mirror and it’s great. But was a little surprised how soft the case was considering most of their leather goods feel sturdier.

This is exactly what I thought when I handled the case. It’s not rigid as I expected from Hermes.

Welcome! Please share pictures/swatches of the colors you chose! I am actually not interested in the leather accessories that were released mostly due to their prices. I’m sure it’s beautiful though! I would want a structured case but not for the price of the pop up case.

I own TONS of makeup brushes. All from Japan. Imo Japan makes THE BEST makeup brushes! H needs to get their brushes made in Japan. Or maybe better not for me...my wallet will give me the silent treatment again LOL

I agree, another Japanese makeup brush lover here! I hope H team up with artisans from Kumano!

Good evening from Germany, Hope everyone here is still feeling their best. I‘d like to ask your opinion. I was admittedly a little underwhelmed with the performance of the two lipsticks I bought, at least compared to my fave lipstick brands. But maybe it was just because I usually wear bolder colors, and ordered lighter ones because I thought I needed something different... so, those of you ladies who own the reds and berries by H, how do you rate them? Thank you so much in advance. I‘m gonna order lipsticks tonight, I just don‘t know which brand to turn to. In case everything but grocery stores shut down here, I want something new to play with

I purchased Violet Intense & Coral Fou because I wanted the limited edition cases.. The colors have to be
blotted down & mixed to get the color I want. I bought the cases also because when the new shades
come out & I will be able to refill the limited edition caseswith perhaps new shades
I also purchased Rouge H (mat) Rose Boise (Mat) & Rouge Bleu as well as the Lip Balm
which I did not find hydrating or long wearing.
I also though Rouge Bleu would be similar to the old Hermes Rouge but it wasn't.
Rouge Piment & Rouge Amazone were not good one me at all & I tried several times as well as several other shades
I also thought the lip pencil would correct bleeding/feathering which fortunately I don't have but also to define
the lips, which it doesn't do. The Serge Lutens pencil #1 in particular will fill in the outline of ones lips
better IMO. I also have lip pencils # 2 & 3 as well as Edward Bess nude lipliner which is just ok for
Rose Boise.
I find them to be drying on my lips I need a lipliner & they are not on me the colors I expected.
I needed to mix them in order to achieve the color I wanted with other lip shades I have
While the packaging is lovely, the magnetic clasp is done well, the concept of a refillable case is a plus,
the quality of the lipstick is ok, the staying power doesn't last on me & compared to the colors I like from
Tom Ford ( Casablanca, Spanish Pink, So Vain, Richard, Night Porter ) La Bouche Rouge ( Anja Red, Innocent Red,
Patti) & Serge Lutens ( numbers 1, 5, 8, 18) the Hermes lipsticks don't meet my particular needs in the red & berry tones.
La Bouche Rouge range of "red" in particular IMO are far superior in color, wearability, hydration on my lips
Perhaps I am more particular than others & I vaguely remember another poster commenting about how the lipsticks
feel on her lips & what her thoughts were about Loreal lipsticks in comparison to H
It's very personal & if the shades compliment the posters discussing this all good & well.. Enjoy!
If I didn't have those other lipsticks to compare it to, my thoughts would likely be the same.
I wish Tom Ford would do a refillable case as for me his lipsticks including the color range are top notch
I also thought that H wanting to attract a new perhaps younger client to their brand, missed
the boat with the prices of the lipstick case with mirror & the POP UP case at $1950
would be for me money better spent towards a cashmere shawl or bag. Just my two cents

With the cases, H really seems to have hit the mark with many.

Maybe weird, I just wonder: how do the magnets relate to the credit cards in small bags and clutches??

That be AMAAAZIIIING right!!!! I told my SA in Paris to let me know when H decides to expand their makeup brushes manufacturing to Japan LOL

I tend to keep my credit cards in a Calvi & in my Bearn wallet but I had no issues with the magnets
attaching themselves to cc

Agreed, That's what I thought when I saw the prices, I'd rather purchase a shawl or put that towards an evelyne.

Thank you, Love OF My Life. I especially wonder whether the magnets here might not disturb or destroy the data on the credit cards, which can react very sensitively to magnets. But apparently not, so far.

I have to admit, I gave my two H lippies away today. I just can‘t get over the texture, though it breaks my heart. To get me over it, I ordered Serge Lutens‘ Levres en Boîte #1 palette, which I‘ve already previously owned. So I‘m another SL as well as La Bouche Rouge fan

 

[SugarMama]

ladies, thank you so much to everyone who posted pics and shared their thoughts on the new H lippies!

I ordered 4 - received 2, waiting for 2 that are backordered.

So far I am loving these! The case is so luxe, I love the magnetic closure. The lipstick texture is very rich and smooth, even the matte which was surprising to me! Most mattes are so drying, but not this!

Kinda boring lip colors but safe and perfect for everyday wear for me! It does have a slight fragrance (which I can also taste) which I’m mehhh about, but I can live with it.

It is so interesting to see how the different colors read differently on different people depending on skin tone, etc. For reference, I am Asian with a light to medium warm skintone and tan easily. This is how Beige Kalahari Satin and Beige Naturel Matte look on me. Perfect neutrals! I can't wait to get and try Rose Encens and Poppy lip shine!

I have beige kalahari and now I am tempted to get beige natural. Both look so pretty on you!
