The collection consists of 25 shades, some with visible shimmer others not. There were some beautiful deep shades that I was tempted by but in the end I went for the more everyday shades.
Priced at £26 each, #368 Baby Rose is one of the shimmer shades. Its a cool toned pink with gold micro glitter.
It has a nice shimmery finish though unfortunately I found the glitter particles a bit gritty in feel and the colour did not apply as evenly as I would have hoped.
#303 Beige Booster is, despite its name, a natural rosy shade.
It has a sheen finish and an extremely smooth texture and applies evenly.
The KissKiss formula is enriched with mango butter which gives it a nice creamy texture, both lipsticks feel hydrating and have an average wear time.

I really like the formula of Beige Booster and will likely buy more of the KissKiss range, but based on my experience of Baby Rose I will avoid any more of the shimmer shades.
I bought these from John Lewis.
Oh thank you for these Clare! I just posted about the new launch today and I'm considering Rosy Beige which from the picture doesn't seem to have any glitter. :)
ReplyDeleteIts a shame they don't list which ones are the glitter ones or not, especially if ordering online. I think I might try one of the deeper shades next :)
Deleteyeah, the shimmer doesn't sound desirable but they sure look like nice lipsticks! I wasn't planning on getting any of these until reading your review!

The collection has a nice array of shades to cater for all, a good launch all in all, glitter aside ;)
DeleteThe new packaging is so swanky! Black, gold bricks plus the KISS X KISS embossing, perfecto. Have my eye on Beige Booster ;)
ReplyDeleteBeige Booster has quickly become a staple :) I really like the design as well, would be nice if Guerlain would roll it out with the rest of their products as the line is a bit mish-mash in terms of packaging at the moment.
DeleteYes, it will be more collectible if the packaging were more uniform. I hope they'll lean more towards the black/gold though.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of Beige Booster, so pretty. The casing is very stylish, I'm a sucker for nice lipstick casings. Thanks for the review Clare, I'll definitely pick a non shimmer version.
ReplyDeleteIt is very stylish, Beige Booster has earned itself a permanent place in my handbag :)
DeleteHey Clare, I got for myself Rouge Kiss and am loving it. Now I want a more neutral one for everyday use. :)
Deleteooh thats a real show stopper red :) See now it begins, we will end up with wanting more of this formula :)
DeleteI bought Fabulous Rose which has a silver glitter in it. I absolutely hate it because of the formula. Ugh why did they think it was necessary to put glitter in?
ReplyDeleteThe glitter is a mistake, such a shame as the non glitter version is really great, though I have seen some of the larger blogs reviewing these with no mention of problem with the glitter shades so whether its just these two shades?
DeleteA mistake or perhaps it's a question of personal preference and tolerance. Some people are irritated by a single spek of glitter whereas others can just about coat their lips in it with no problem. Look at the success of Rouge Automatique Shine. Quite a bit of glitter to be found within that offering, but lots of people love the Shines. Personally, I think it is nice that there's not just a range of colors but also a range of finishes. To each his own :-)
DeleteHi Eileen,
DeleteYes, I can only speak from my point of view and I've had a lot of glitter lipsticks that have not had this gritty feel before. I think the range has tried to cater for all with different tones and finishes which is a good thing, just simply the case that the feel of the glitter shade is a let down for me personally.
I really like the look of Beige Booster! I dislike shimmer on lipsticks as well, thank you for the review Clare! I’ll check them in the counter! hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteIts a lovely shade, I'll be picking up some more from the line up :)
