If you have never heard of it before, it is time for you to find out about Guerlain lipstick. Guerlain is one of the oldest perfume houses in the world. It was founded in 1828 by Pierre-Francois Pascal Guerlain who was helped by his two sons. The company stayed in the possession of the Guerlain family until 1994 when it was bought by the LVMH group. In our days the brand produces cosmetics as well like lip balm and lipstick as well.
One of their most famous products is the ‘Le Rouge G de Guerlain’ lipstick. It is probable that one of the reasons for its popularity is the unique packaging that is very elegant and sophisticated. The company contacted one of the most talented jewelers from Paris called Lorenz Baumer to create a casing for this lipstick. The silver case has a small mirror in it that has just the right size to check your lipstick, so you won’t have smudges or any lipstick on your teeth.
Inside the case is the lipstick. At the first click he mirror is revealed and the second reveals the lipstick. This mechanism is extremely useful because this way the top of the lipstick case can’t fall off to make a mess in your purse. I think that it has happened to many of us that when they opened their purse they found a mess of papers and lipstick gunk. If something like this happens, the damage is double: you have to throw away a completely good lipstick and your purse is wrecked. Guerlain has found an ingenious solution for this problem. The case they created looks just like a piece of jewelry and so it is perfect for a gift (of course you can give a gift to yourself as well).
Not only the lipstick’s packaging, but the formula is outstanding as well. It has ruby powder in it so that daylight reveals a spectacular radiance. It also moisturizes and hydrates the lips. The lipstick comes in 25 different colors and shades and I am sure that you will find at least one that you will like.
Some say that it is too expensive for a lipstick, its price being around $45, but those who have already purchased it say that it was worth it and that they will buy it again because it was a well invested $45. We must note that Guerlain is a luxury brand so it is no wonder that the products are quite expensive and we also have to take into consideration the high level of quality of the products.There are other popular products as well, such as the KissKiss Lipstick that received high rankings and great reviews as well.
I think that makeup shouldn’t be too expensive because we use too much of it and at one point we might spend huge amounts of money, but from time to time we should reward ourselves with something interesting and I think that a Guerlain lipstick would be a great way to recognize our merits.
