Happy Fri-i-day Ladies!
I make no secret of the fact I love expensive lip glosses. Some people think me nuts but hey, it works for me! And Guerlain Kiss Kiss lipglosses are up there on my list of favourite lipglosses. I started my “addiction” with the Divinora lipglosses and moved onto Kiss Kiss when Divinora was discontinued.
This year, Guerlain has a new lipgloss to offer – Kiss Kiss Essence de Gloss. What it is is a lipgloss that cares for your lips. psst. Where have we seen this before? 😉
Forming a part of Guerlain’s Fall 2010 collection, the Kiss Kiss Essence de Gloss is (thankfully) a new addition and thus NOT limited edition. Mine is #462 Violine, a deep plum that is calling out to form part of a Fall makeup collection.
The long slim tube of lipgloss comes in the signature Kiss Kiss square gold packaging with a clear strip around the middle. This remains clear until you first remove the cap and then the colour rushes to fill the space. I love this! It also means you’ll never buy an opened lipgloss because you’d KNOW if its been opened before – genius right? 😀 Its actually to make it easier to locate if you have… oh I don’t know… a few of these babies? 😛
The Kiss Kiss Essence de Gloss applies very smooth and the pigment is good. It isn’t as strong as it looks in the tube though, which might be a good thing, and you can sheer it out. The doe foot sponge tip applicator is a departure from regular Kiss Kiss lipglosses that come with a brush.
Applied on the lips, it does not feel heavy or sticky which is quite normal for Guerlain Kiss Kiss glosses. It feels light and to my surprise, it lasts quite a while despite being a lipgloss. I can take it all the way to lunch if I don’t go crazy drinking lots of coffee and water in the mornings; but even then, a slight colour remains.
