The secret to a subtle, glossy smile: The Hermès Rosy lip enhancer

After reviewing the blush from the Hermes Rose collection (review here), I just had to go back and try this lip enhancer. And let me tell you, Hermes didn't disappoint!

The Rosy Lip Enhancer

I have heard wonders about this NEW lip balm/tint from Hermes. The lip enhancer naturally tints your lip, adding a translucent colour and glossy or matte finish. Also extremely comfortable, this lip balm instantly offers a feeling of hydration and softness to the lips. Not only do my lips look great, but the product is refillable.

Available in four lip-enhancing shades, you mix and match depending on the day's mood. My favourite shade in this collection is the “pink confetti.” This playful pink shade is perfect for lifting your makeup without wearing lipstick. The pink shade has a soft blue undertone and looks stunning with or without makeup. I adore wearing these lip balms as they are easy to apply and look natural.

I love a product that smells divine, and Christine Nagel, the brand's perfumer, created a soft, feminine fragrance for the range. The lip enhancer releases gentle notes of arnica, sandalwood, and candied angelica flowers.

What's inside?

The lip enhancer's formula is jam-packed with lip-nourishing actives. The botanical trio of white mulberry extract, sesame seed, and raspberry-seed oils offer endless suppleness and comfort to the lips. Throughout the day, the balm helps to protect and hydrate the top layer of your lips for a show-stopping smile!

The Design

The rose collection was designed by collaborating with Pierre Hardy. Behind the packaging, the Imagineer sculpted the lip enhancers into a minimalistic and modern tube. The tubes are made up of lacquered and brushed metal materials. Also, to protect your tube from wear and tear, Hermes offers a canvas pouch that you can take with you on the go.

My Review

If you are similar to me and don't adore the sticky texture of gloss, then the lip enhancer is the way to go. These lip balm/ tints give the lip a soft shimmer, smoothing out any lines. Ideal for those light makeup looks, the lip enhancer made my lips feel great all day. Lastly, I recommend storing these products in a cool area to avoid them melting.

Packaging

Aligning with Givenchy Le Rose Perfecto packaging in the past, Givenchy Rose Perfecto packaging is very similar. The size of the newer version is generous compared to the earlier one. Givenchy Rose Perfecto is 2.8g or 0.09oz while the previous version Le Rose Perfecto was 2.2g or 0.07oz. It is sheathed in a genuine leather case in a soft shade of beige pink. On the top of the outer case as well as the lip balm bullet itself, there is a Givenchy 4G logo stamp. The silver stud and casing look beautiful with the couture pink leather case.

The ingredients of Givenchy Rose Perfecto include rose oil, hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C, pink pepper, and shea butter. They are all very nourishing and soothing. The pink pepper and Vitamin C energizes and give a slight tingle to the lips. Therefore, a plumping effect.

Shades

New Givenchy Rose Perfecto has 2 shades in one color and 9 marbled shades. Shade 001 and 002 adapt to the pH of the lips and the result is a customized color for your lips. The 9 marbled shades provide a wash of color to the lips while providing a plump effect to the lips.

I have swatched 9 of them below:

• 001 Pink Irresistible – natural pink that adjusts to the unique pH of one's lips
• 002 Vital Glow – transparent coral shade that adjusts to the unique pH of one's lips
• 37 Rouge Graine – sheer deep red, brand's best-seller shade
• 102 Feeling Nude – mauve nude
• 110 Milky Nude – sheer brown-toned beige
• 117 Chilling Brown – coffee toned nude, not swatched
• 201 Milky Pink – sheer luminous vivid pink
• 303 Soothing Red – sheer coral red
• 315 Berry Break – sheer raspberry
• 333 L'Interdit – sheer classic neutral red

My Thoughts

Givenchy Rose Perfecto has a balm-like texture. It is very smooth and applies well to the bullet. The lip balm feels silky and lightweight on the lips. It literally melts on the lips. I find my lips are nourished, smooth, and supple. There is a slight tingle on the lips and after that, the lips feel and look fuller. The feeling lasts for few minutes and is light enough to be comfortable. After that, I find the shade applied looks even better and blended in with a subtle plumping effect. There is a healthy glow on the lips which looks very natural.

I like that my lips are hydrated even after the lip balm has worn off. It works as a lip care treatment. Otherwise, the overall longevity of this lip balm is over 5 hours on my lips which is very nice while the hydration stays much longer.

The shades 001 and 002 enhance the natural color of my lips while the other marbled shades give a beautiful hint of color that lasts. Givenchy Rose Perfecto is truly a new favorite of mine. It works as a lip balm, lip treatment, as well as a lip tint. I really like how nourishing and soothing it is. The shade range is also impressive. I can see all the shades will work well with most skin tones. Even the sheerest of the shades, 102 or 110 look natural and nice on my medium skin tones with naturally pink lips. It enhances the color of my lips. Bright shades like 37, 303, 315, and 333 adjust to the lips to give a vibrant and beautiful finish that is luminous.

If you prefer a lip balm in liquid version, Givenchy Le Rose Perfecto Liquid Lip Balm is the one I like a lot. I am enjoying the new foundation from the house for the base makeup. Givenchy Prisme Libre Skin-Caring Glow Foundation looks so beautiful and natural on the skin. The natural glow and finish are perfect for everyday wear.
