Review: Makeup: Guerlain KissKiss Midnight Butterfly Lipgloss Shimmering Pink #802

December 22, 2008 Paris B 12 Comments

When I first saw the Guerlain Midnight Butterfly collection in person, the one item from the collection that caught my eye was the Guerlain KissKiss lipgloss in Shimmering Pink #802.

I have always been a fan of the Guerlain KissKiss lip products especially the lipglosses and I used to own them in the longer Divinora collection, with the beaten gold cap. It was one of the first high end lipglosses I owned and I liked them for being non-sticky, non-goopy but yet imparting a high shine and gloss factor and colour. It also turns out I’d never reviewed them here hehe…

Guerlain KissKiss Midnight Butterfly

The Guerlain Midnight Butterfly lipgloss in Shimmering Pink #802 is not a pink to my untrained eye. It is more of a purplish hue, with an iridescence when you catch the light. It comes in a square tube with a brush applicator. I like the brush applicator because it gives better control when applying gloss.

The metallic cap is embossed with the Guerlain name, and there is a butterfly etched on it. Very pretty and girly but it was not quite the reason I bought it. The reason I dug deep into my pockets for it was because of the colour. One look at the colour swatched on my hand and I knew it was for me. And I’m right! 🙂

As you can see, the colour is more of a rosey purplish tone not pink – good for me because I cannot wear pink. The texture is thick but it is not sticky nor goopy. It is also surprisingly very longlasting for a lipgloss and is very pigmented too. This is part of the reason I love this line of glosses even if they are bank breaking! There is also a scent but it doesn’t bug me as it isn’t overly strong.

The lipgloss lasts on my lips way after morning coffee and sometimes, if I’m more careful, there are traces of it even after lunch. It usually barely survives lunch, but nothing much does. The colour does sheer out a little on the lips, but nothing I’m complaining about.

If you are familiar with Guerlain’s lipglosses and are thinking that Shimmering Pink #802 looks familiar, yes it does. It bugged me until I dug out my Divinora lipgloss in Rose Peche. Side by side, they look like twins don’t they?

However, Rose Peche is a cooler toned purple while Shimmering Pink #802 is noticeably warmer on the skin with more red tones. Both are colors that suit me which might explain why I immediately gravitated towards this new colour in Guerlain’s Midnight Butterfly collection.

The Guerlain KissKiss lipgloss retails for RM82 in Malaysia (US$28 in the USA) and Shimmering Pink #802 is limited edition which means once its gone, its gone for good. Do I regret paying for this one? My answer is no. I love it and that is all matters at the end of the day!

Pros: Non-sticky, Not-goopy, Pigmented, Long lasting

Cons: Expensive

    Nice color for a lipgloss. Never tried Guerlain products before, may be should go get the lipgloss for a try. After all, I’m into lipgloss, instead of lipsticks lately. But I found out that I actually like the Estee lauder Pure Color Crystal lipstick….when I apply it to my lips, it actually gives like a burst a moisture, making my lips glossy and shiny. it glides on easily too.

    Just curious, Paris, why you can’t wear pink?

    I think with your lovely skin tone, you can definitely wear pink! Or maybe darker kind of pink not the light baby-ish that makes you look sick?

    I love this color on you!!! 🙂 Oohhh lala! kissable lips

    @vonvon : For some reason, Guerlain is one of the high end brands that generally work for me, but I love their lipglosses best. I used to use Estee Lauder too but I can’t remember if i’ve ever tried the crystal version. Pink clashes with my skintone so I look fake 🙂

    @Nikki: Aww… thank you! Its a lovely colour and yes darker, redder pinks work on my skintone but light pinks make me look like I’m a walking corpse. MWAKS! 😀

    Very MLBB 🙂 I can see why you’d still want to get it, even though it is pretty pricey.

    I’ll go check it out tomorrow at Myer 🙂

Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Malone installation at Mid Valley Megamall 😍 Jo Malone has always made gifting an experience, both for giver and receiver, and this is what their Jobots are here for - to help you find that perfect gift whether for a friend, family, or for yourself each time you manage to dodge the C-bullet 😆
Go check out the Jobots at Mid Valley Megamall Centre Court & experience their signature hand and arm massages, gift boxing, personalised engraving of your perfume bottles & candle jars & play with the vending machine. You could get lucky! 
No prizes for guessing which Jobot installation was my favourite! The one with the dog of course! They also had a key chain with a dog. So. Bloody. Cute!! 
And after so many years finally got a photo with event organizer extraordinaire @cyrus.chin because we didn’t get the white & beige memo and came instead in (unplanned) matching sunny coral instead 😂 
It felt good to have makeup on, dress up and go out for a tiny little bit, and meet people I haven’t seen in literally years! Also to enjoy the scents (hard to smell with a mask on though) and the visual delights. Go check it out. They’re there at the Centre Court until Sunday 3 July.
