Oh I was just thinking maybe they should have made the entire lipstick set of refills with only 1 special LE case, colour combo only available in this set. That’s ka-ching while pretending to be eco-friendly. (I market better than Hermes.)

The retail value separately is $1608. Typically H prices “sets” at the same as non set prices. I’ll be interested to see if they give on the eight bucks.Pretty set though. If they had released this at the same time as the initial launch in March, I bet there would have been decent demand/upselling from people who bought a bunch of them.
I just scrolled through my texts with my SA (was a while back in August) and she did say 1600 then, what a great saving!
ps I also found that reportedly it’s 440 total in the world
These lipstick sleeves will reportedly launch on 15 November worldwide. My SA confirms that the color is Rose Extreme, so I guess it's just the lighting from the pic.
The Piano 24 Lipstick set might already be available for sale in select countries. Due to the limited number, most stores seem to have acquired a list of interested clients and thus the sets will be reserved for them is my understanding.
Thoughts on the lipstick sleeves, ladies?
I'm still on the fence about them...
My SA here in NYC still has a couple left that haven't been committed as of yet...

The H lipsticks are so pretty to begin with so the only reason I'd consider the slipcase is if I were finding the lipsticks coming open by themselves in my bag. I guess it would be a good solution for that, but with the magnetic closures, I'm not sure how likely a problem that is. Otherwise, they just seem like a hassle. I much prefer the case with the removable mirror (even though the case itself is somewhat flimsy).
I love the lipsticks case, no need for the flimsy cases or the sleeves. Unless I don't have the bag insert, my lipsticks are safe inside the bag insert pockets.
My lipsticks have not come apart with the magnetic closure, in fact very few of the lipsticks that I have
have come open in my bag or cosmetic case.
I actually do like the Madame lipstick case with mirror.. Even though the price point for the sleeveless case
is much less I think I prefer the Madame but I do like the colors that will be available.. So another H dilemma..LOL
The canvas sleeve that it comes with is more than sufficient for me tbh. I don’t even bother with that since I usually have a bag inset with a lipstick section (or at least a pocket I’ve assigned as a lipstick pocket lol.
I just usually carry the lipstick I'm wearing either in the case or the pocket in my Fourbi
My understanding as it was explained to me is you insert the lipstick into the slipcase, put your lipstick & then re-insert
the lipstick
The leather case colors are pretty but it doesn't seem to be so functional just a attractive color in your bag
& easy to spot your lipstick case. Rumor has it that the case can be monogrammed
I also feel that H put so much thought into the design of the case & the colors in addition to the limited editions,
that it many ways the lipstick case stands on its own..
Im looking for a red lipstick not a bright as Rouge Casaque and not as brownish as Rouge H (I have matte samples of both). I guess my choices are Rouge Piment or Rouge Bleu. Any suggestions or advice or comparison pix? TIA~!
I have found for me that the H lipsticks need a little help, JMO
So I did buy Rouge Casaque (satin finish) & Rouge Bleu.. I have to layer to achieve the color I want with
other lipsticks .. I much prefer LBR's range of reds to Hermes.. just personal preference
I tried both and ended up with rouge bleu. It’s a beautiful bright red with blue undertones (as the name says
). Rouge casaque was too bright and fire engine red for me. I haven’t got any comparison mod or swatch pictures to share unfortunately but can swatch the rouge bleu later on today for you.Can you swing past your home store pick up a samples of these two colours to try?
This is how Rouge Bleu adjusts on me.
For comparison I post a picture of Rouge H, how it looks on me.
I haven't had the opportunity to try Rouge Piment.
Rouge Bleu matte
Rouge H satin
Thanks so much, Holsby. I have been thinking that Rough H in satin might be what I want, as the sheen softens and lightens a bit, I think. (My sample was in matte.) @romily's suggestion is also good. I didn't realize there are samples of all the colors.
And I will check out LBR - thanks, @Love Of My Life !
