Givenchy Rouge Interdit in Sensual Rose

Today I will be reviewing Givenchy Rouge Interdit in Sensual Rose. I bought this from Martha for Php 500.00 ^.^

I love how they carefully package their products, for this one they placed a hard plastic protector for the rope/lace.

Tadaah! I love the packaging, it's outstanding design is incomparable to other lipstick packaging in the market. It doesn't feel and look cheap at all; the plastic is quite heavy but not as heavy as YSL's Rouge Volupte.

Here's a pic of the Givenchy Rouge Interdit in Sensual Rose pulled out. What initially caught my attention is the perfume in the lipstick which smells very luxurious; it's perfumed but it is very light so I don't feel dizzy with this one. Givenchy's lipstick also glides on smoothly and it's like butter melting on your lips- there's absolutely no waxy feel with this one which is a must for a lipstick.

Even if it glides easily and the formula is quite buttery this does not rub off quickly; it stays put for hours if you don't eat. If you do eat there will still be a bit of lipstick left that you might notice when you pat some tissue on your lip area after eating.

The color on me is quite on the rose hue with a bit of coral; for Martha it showed up more coral. Perhaps it varies because of our skin tone. I love this kind of formula because it adapts to your skin color and the lipstick does not look like it's sitting on top of your lips; it looks blended and absorbed as if the color is my own natural lip color.

This Week's Buy: Givenchy Rouge Interdit in Sensual Rose

I got Givenchy Rouge Interdit in Sensual Rose from sis Martha for Php500.00 ^.^

It was funny because I was applying my eye make up today when the Air 21 guy came and handed my father's secretary the package and I got to use the lipstick today! The review will be coming soon, I took some photos and swatch already =p

Can I just say this is such a great deal? Givenchy isn't available locally and I just got it for Php500! Suhweet!

The Orly nail polish is actually a freebie and I'm intending to give it to my mother who's been searching for a good dark blue nail polish and I already have the The Face Shop dark blue nail polish.

The package was neatly done and it reflected Martha's OC-ness which I love (because I'm also a neat freak), both package are carefully bubble wrapped to avoid getting damages and both stuffs are sealed in a plastic bag.

Thanks again Martha! =) I love love love love love this lipstick to bits!

Holiday Gift Ideas for Make-Up Addicts

Here are some of my stocking stuffers when you want to buy a luxurious gift for your makeupholic family and friends ^.^

Benefit CORALista

Can I just say it again that I love coral blushes? I think it's also flattering for almost any skin tone

Benefit's latest release is Sugarbomb; it resembles a lot like Jill Stuart's mix blush

Chanel Rouge Allure Laque is quite pretty!

I love how Dragon looks so blood red and it is a perfect give this festive season

YSL Rouge Volupte Lip Stick

This one's for your gal pal who's not color shy; the color payoff is consistent and it glides on very smoothly

Givenchy Phenom Eyes

This is a curious little creature in my sight; everyone wants to try that sphere shaped wand

Givenchy Rouge Interdit Satin Lipstick

Eek! I'm getting this from Sis Martha next week!

I've been waiting and waiting for good beauty buys; I also tried to get a Stila trio eyeshadow in Gold Glow for Php350 but luckily the seller wasn't responding to my messages and I stumbled upon Martha's sale! Lucky me! The best thing is I just have to add Php150 to a Givenchy upgrade. Good things truly comes to those who wait.

Jill Stuart Lip Stick (I like the Rose Coral one! Looks so wearable)

I love good packaging; with this one you almost don't need to gift wrap because the packaging itself is a gem

This one has a sheer formula compared to the other lippie product on the list so this is great for the color shy.

Same with this one, Jill Stuart Mix Blush

Try to get the other colors with white powder; it can serve as highlighter too!

Jill Stuart Eye Shadow Palette

Almost all Jill Stuart products are in sync with the festive season, don't you think?

It looks so elegant!

Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol. 2

If you've got a friend who's starting with her eye make up I think this is a great starter kit

It has almost every color from nudes, black, grey, gold, violet, blue, green

It also has two mini 24/7 eyeliners and a small primer potion

I've got this one and I'm pretty satisfied with it!=)

Stila Smudge Pot Holiday Set

I really love this holiday set too and the box saves you time and energy from wrapping this up

It also has To: and From: printed on top of the box so you just have to write your names on it ^.^

The box's silver snow flake print is also adorable

I accidentally dropped my Starry Night on the floor but the glass jar didn't break! It just bounced on the floor and rolled until it stopped (along with my heart) haha, now isn't that great?

MAC Baroque Boudoir Lip Stick

Aah... The packaging says it all

MAC Lip Stick

Everybody loves their MAC lipstick and it should be great to put a smile on someone's face when you give them a tube of MAC Lip Stick

Hope this helps! I try to incorporate a lot of lip sticks in this stocking stuffer list because almost everybody uses lipstick or some sort of lip product.

Always remember it's not how much the gift costs; it's always the thought of the gift giver that counts the most. =)
