Loverly swatches, as always. Something about Givenchy packaging irks my minimalist sensibilities... there's always some little doo-dad hanging off the ends... wait, is it possible to have minimalist sensibilities and be slightly obsessed with makeup? ;-)

You're not alone! It's a common complaint of the Rouge Interdit lipsticks. Anyway it's no "click-click."

karla: i have always been interested in givenchy'slipstick as they look very cute and intense in the tubes.

however, i am not sure how is the quality when applied. are they dry? that's the biggest issue i have with major l/s. i want them soft and moisturising but many can't do that.

my experienece with givenchy hasn't been good. it is a brand of packaging instead of quality IMO. (well, at least for the blush and e/s that i have tried.)

but i heard different opinions on l/s. need your input!

and thank you for swatches again!

I'm sorry to say that the Rouge Interdit testers were in pretty grotty condition, and I couldn't bring myself to try them on my lips. However, I have tried Rouge Interdit Shine, and that was *excellent.* (Sun Shine was my favorite color.) Long-lasting and very, very nice. I'll have to visit a different counter to try the Rouge Interdits.
