I'm glad I have some lipstick samples to keep me entertained while I'm in government-ordered quarantine
Pleasantly surprised by the Rouge H matte sample, which appears somewhere between cherry and burgundy on me depending on the lighting. I was worried I'd get a lot of brown, but I guess much as with vintage examples of Rouge H leather, you just don't know what color Rouge H is going to turn out to be until you see it in person.
I want to try this one from the bullet before buying it. I don't have the patience or skill for lip brushes (as you might be able to tell by the streak across part of my lip), and I'm guessing maybe more of the brown-y tones would come out when applied straight from the tube.
Still loving the formulation of these both in the satin and matte finishes. The satins in particular have a transparency combined with full pigmentation that's unique in my (vast!) lipstick collection; I think this is why the colors manage to suit so many people, and I'm finding I can wear shades like orange that I have never managed to pull off before. Reiterating for reference, since everyone will have different lipstick goals and compatibilities: my lipstick priorities are unique color and even wearoff (i.e. no wearing away in the center first, please!), and I don't mind reapplying frequently. I get along well with Serge Lutens, the Guerlains that are housed in heavy fancy mirrored cases, and Nars. Tom Ford and Cle de Peau are gorgeous but smear all over my face in sixty seconds.
