The GIVENCHY Thread.

[jemly]

givenchy is one of the luxury beauty brands that has a firm place in my heart. my first luxury lipstick (rouge interdit in 'pretty rose') was givenchy, and i treasured it. 

i'm not exactly on top of 'new releases' as such (though of course i'll share here as i stumble upon news), but i wanted to create a space for my fellow Givenchy beauty lovers !

here are 2 dated adverts from 2011 but i lovvvve them and and find them apt for the brand:

looks like everyone is bringing back 'juicier' lip products in the spring. i still like a matte lip but i saw a direct correspondence with the rise of instagram makeup 'looks' and the matte lip craze; it doesn't always translate to real world chicness (or comfort). 

suuuuuuuper interested in that black/red lipstick of course !

Pretty! How do you like it @Mochapj?

[Mochapj]

I do @veronika23! The mustard yellow gold, especially.  The formula is very dense and gel like, similar to MUFE i'd say.

I wore it friday and it doesn't photograph as beautifully as IRL but here it is - all shades used: copper and bronze on lid, gold inner corner, rose gold lower lashline.

This is a classic beauty look. I love it! I put this on my love list 🙂

[veronika23]

Thanks @Mochapj 🙂 Pretty! It's on my loves list but unsure still if I will be getting it... I really want the PM stuff and I've been spending a bit too much lol

Thanks! I was hoping for that too.

Givenchy Le Rouge lipstick was my first Sephora purchase ❤️

My Givenchy treasures.

Aside from these I also own mascaras in some of their more colourful LE shades, including the recent summer 'city' packaging, but there isn't much exciting to see about a tube of mascara, so I skipped those 😉  

The star (hahaha) of my collection is that Kyoto edition in the back; it was my birthday present to myself this year and was handmade in Japan. It came with 5 of the lipsticks shown and you could choose which 5 you wanted.

I am in awe @Mochapj! Beautiful collection!

[Ispend2much6]

Beautiful!  @Mochapj  could you please tell me which shade of lipstick is the purplish one on the far right of your stash?  Thanks.  I think that would really work for me (and I wonder if I already have it!) 

[Mochapj]

@Ispend2much6 that is from this year's fall collection - it is called Heroic Pink (even though it's clearly not pink, LOL)

[Ispend2much6]

@Mochapj  Thank you!  I was really hoping I could just go "shopping" for it in my own stash, but I guess I'll have to actually pay cash for it. 🙂

[jemly]

crying.

[veronika23]

OMG awesome! Ok I am jelly of the confetti powder and the noirs en folie palette from a few seasons ago. I wasn't able to find that one... Where did you get this year's palette @Mochapj. I know Sephora doesn't have it and not aware of any other Canadian retailers that carry it.

[Mochapj]

@veronika23 you would never believe where I found the noirs en folie!? (Winners)

I want to say I got it around 9 months ago.  I'm lucky my local store puts all the high end stuff in theftproof boxes so it was pristine.  It wasn't something I'd actively been looking for, but when I saw the packaging I was like 😮

Will PM you about the others.

[veronika23]

OMG @Mochapj you are soo lucky!!!  Mine never has high end... ok maybe once Burberry but I don't think I saw Givenchy... Lucky lady! THX!

[Randell]

WOW! That is a stunning collection! That lipstick case is a piece of art. 😉

[Mochapj]

Thanks Randell!
