Review & Swatches: Guerlain Fall 2017 Collection | KISSKISS Matte Lipsticks & Intense Liquid Matte Lipsticks

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
