One to Rule Them All: Givenchy's Le Rouge-à-Porter

By June
Media LaunchSo when I recieved the invite be one of the first few to preview the launch of Givenchy's Le Rouge-à-Porter lipstick, I was nothing short of hyperventilating. Apart from being my favorite brand of all time, their Le Rouge range is legendary with its luxe shades and lasting power. So how would the Givenchy Le Rouge-à-Porter fare?
Loved the entire guerrilla set up of launch; held in the I of course had to make a bee-line towards its legendary predecessor, the Givenchy's Le Rouge! Also in attendance is the Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Powder Quartet Air Sensation which I am looking to add to my beauty stash. Not only stunning to look at, it  comes in 4 shades for different needs. My picks would be #01 as a translucent finishing powder with correcting properties, and #03 for an overall bronzing powder. 

Here's a handful of the shades when swatched; I love the shade options as they have really nice in-between nuance shades and such rich deep colors. They veer toward from tea rose pinks to reds, corals and plums shades that still carry a warm undertone with subtle sheen, which makes it so flattering to wear! I tried the 303 Framboise GriffÀe, the plum you see below and it's amazingly gorgeous in real life! Here I am looking on in desperate hopes of striking a jackpot to win a miniature of the Le Rouge-à-Porter...but  Lady Luck sadly was not with me that night. Huge fun though!


The Givenchy team also had a fun activity where we needed to plant our luscious kisses on their 'Kiss Wall'; and one lucky girl will walk away with a much coveted Givenchy hamper. And that lucky lady was none other than the lovely fashion blogger Jessica from Tippytapp!

... and here is their in-house makeup artist is giving one of the guests a on-the-spot application of the Le Rouge-à-Porter Lipstick ;)


And of course we can't miss the stars of the show: the beautiful range of Rouge-à-Porter Lipstick!


Swatched here is some of the sweet shades of the Le Rouge-à-Porter, which graduated from warm pinks to a cool dusty rose; I also found the shade 205 Violine Inspiration is a very wearable mauve shade for those who want to try a purplish shade that isn't too harsh, and 206 Corail Decolleté is THE universally flattering shade of soft coral every lady I think should have! 

And I am so beyond thrilled when I opened the press kit to find this to die for Givenchy Beauty's Le Rouge-À-Porter. HOW mad beautiful is the leather and silver engravement?! Compared to the Le Rouge, the  Le Rouge-à-Porter combines the understated sheen of a lipstick with the hydrating power similar to a balm. Pumped with the goodness of Hyaluronic Acid, it not only moisturising my puckers but also locks in the hydration. 

Mine was a lovely 102 Biege Floral; a nude hue with a slight peachy undertone. The color us not really obvious with just a single application; to really get a true shade color about 3 layers is recommended. The texture glides on beautifully, and I love how it manage to smoothen out the creases on my lips for a supple appearance. 
Thank you 37 Comms and Givenchy Singapore for having me!

Le Rouge-A-Porter comes in 16 shades and is available from 29 May onwards at Sephora for SGD$52 each!
