The Hermès Thread

This thread is dedicated to all things Hermès! While Sephora doesn't carry the makeup line (maybe one day??), that doesn't stop us from wanting these pretties in our collections 😉

Before I go splurge on this I would love everyone’s feedback. I am hoping Saks or Bloomingdales has a sale but I think it would be unlikely.

I was hoping that the current sale Saks had would include beauty, but it didn't 😞 It still would have been a little less expensive (like $20) to go through Saks than the Hermès site, but I wanted the box and Bolduc ribbon. I'm excited for it to come in!

I know @SportyGirly125 I had hoped this last promo would include beauty darn it! The lips are very nice tho I’m not sure I would say remarkable vs so many others. Blush will be great to see. The case is of course cool . Remember Nordies too to use notes on some of it! Plus NM and BG carries it. 💞

They are @Sunnysmom ! It's just nice to have that experience of untying that perfectly secured bow off that orange box that makes my heart flutter. I'm a sucker for packaging 😄

@SportyGirly125 I'm in the same boat... 100$ on a tinted balm.... yikes. I mean I love a good luxury product as much as the next gal, but I think I may need to see them in person before I can cross the 100$ threshold lol. I'm totally living vicariously though all the swatches and youtube videos! Ohhhh... this may be a lovely souvenir from a trip at some point! That I could justify lol

My blush also came today! They are really so pretty. I was surprised Pommette wasn’t more vivid but it’s beautiful and probably more easily wearable.

Plume, Nuit and Pommette left to right and top to bottom.

Initial thoughts on them - So soft and natural. Plume is so subtle yet gives the watercolor blurring effect .

Nuit is perfect shade to me if you love a cooler pink and Pommette gives a fun little bit more of a pop.

I love all things Hermes but these are a few things that come to mind and truly no harsh criticism at all! The case feels a little lightweight vs the lip and I guess I was expecting it to be a little bit more luxe, maybe more like Gucci but not that crazy heavy. Lol And I know that they are all about the super natural sport look so I totally appreciate the easy soft matte idea. But I wish that maybe one had a little bit of subtle shimmer or illumination to it at least for me because my skin is a little dryer and more mature. You young gals with no “experience lines” shall we say would probably not even notice it. 🥰 I do love their 3 suggestions to apply them including doing an X to create an outdoorsy flush of color. They apply easily no matter how you do it! Can’t wait to see others plus that darn brush! 😂 I love yours @ChristalM ! Will be great to see your lip shade!

I love seeing these swatches, @Sunnysmom - they're so gorgeous! I own a lot of blushes with shimmers in them. I'm looking forward to trying this matte line out. If I love the Rose Tan, I'll probably purchase a second in a pink shade. These swatches will really help!

I posted on the other thread first, but I think they look so gorgeous! I'm really looking forward to getting my Rose Tan lip enhancer, too, @ChristalM!

I do too to be honest @curlychiquita and you are exactly right! Lol it is a good thing to have when I really think about it ! 😂 I think the brilliant @itsfi also reminded me that having a bit of shimmery highlighter underneath will help to bring out a glow too! 🥰🤦🏻‍♀️ duh. Lol I was putting some over it but under is so much better. And the Saie spf tint is perfect for it I realized! I think you will definitely want another one soon. Can’t wait to see yours! I wish the refill option was easier for them. I def would have done that to save the money! Ugh.
