With Autumn being less than a month away, brands worldwide
start launching their new collections inspired by the upcoming season. And what
better way to start preparing for my favourite seasons (obviously being Autumn
and Winter) than by starting to dig in the new collections?
Franks, one of my (and most Maltese people’s) favourite
one-stop-shops when it comes to beauty, just launched the new Fall 2017
collection by Guerlain Paris. As everyone knows, Guerlain is a high-end, luxury
makeup brand so it’s slightly on the more expensive side but let’s admit it, everyone
deserves to treat themselves once in a while, no? Well, the new collection
revolves mainly around the lips, launching the KISSKISS Matte Lipsticks,
Intense Liquid Matte Lipsticks and as you saw in my latest giveaway 2 lip
contouring palettes. On that account, let me tell you about 2 of these newly
launched products!
The KISSKISS Matte Lipsticks boast a hydrating and
plumping formula; they’re opaque and pigmented while being comfortable and
lightweight on the lips as though a balm. I have just one tip; before applying
it I recommend exfoliating your lips so you get the perfect application. I have
the shade M377 in Wild Plum. Berry and plum colours are always a must have for
Fall and this lipstick just ticks all the boxes. This shade is just somewhere
between a plum and a berry shade, as it has a hint of pink in it. It’s also not
that vampy so it is a perfect shade for transitioning from Summer to Autumn. Another
thing I should mention is that I’m obsessed with the packaging! The gorgeous, matte
soft gold packaging makes it such a luxurious statement accessory in ones’ bag.
Definitely something you’d want to show off!
Staying on topic of lip products; also joining the
Fall line-up are the Intense Liquid Matte Lipsticks. I guess we haven’t seen
the last of matte liquid lipsticks, and although I’m not a fan of liquid
lipsticks, this one seems to be more wear-friendly in my opinion. For someone
who suffers with chronic dry and flaky lips, the formula doesn’t seem to dry
out my lips further and does not stick and accentuate dry patches, which is
amazing.
They have a creamy/velvety texture and applies like a lip
gloss but after a few minutes, it dries down to a gorgeously pigmented and comfortable
opaque matte lip. The reasons behind the comfort of this product is in the
ingredients; it contains hyaluronic acid and tiger grass which apparently give
the formula of this liquid lipstick a hydrating effect. As you can see I have
the shade W69 in Attractive Plum which is the most gorgeous autumn colour. Also
a plus is the packaging. The tube has an ombre effect starting from black and
fading into the colour of the lipstick which makes it both easy to find when searching
for it in your drawer and pretty to keep in your bag.
You can find Guerlain Paris in any Franks Outlet.
I can’t wait for colder months, rainy days, cosy
sweaters and of course bold plum lips!
Wishing you all a wonderful week!
Love, Thereseanne
