Givenchy's Le Rouge a-Porter and Givenchy Le Rouge a-Porter Review, Photos and Swatch

Recently I received 2 Givenchy Le Rouge Lipstick for review. Featuring in the picture is my favourite fragrance ; Givenchy Dahlia Noir.

It's love at first sight looking at the packaging of 2 Givenchy Le Rouge Lipstick!

With me here are these 2 beautiful shades ; 302 Hibicius Exclusif and 202  Rose Dressing and love how the lipstick itself has the Givenchy logo embossed on it!

Texture : :Creamy, non-sticky texture glides smoothly. Rich & Very pigmented colour

Scent : Light rosey scent.

Le Rouge is a rich with luxe pigments that coat the lips with radiant, lasting color with a single stroke. Below are the swatch of 302 Hibicus Exclusif shade and 202 Rose Dressing shade.

Check out how the shades look on my lips 

302 Hibicus Exclusif shade on my lips. As mentioned above, it's really creamy and the colour is really pigmented even with 1 swipe.

Applied 202 Rose Dressing on my lips. Compared to 302 Hibicus Exclusif, this shade is more coral.

Personally I preferred 302 Hibiscus Exclusif shade as it's more reddish and make my feature looks sharper!

Two years after its creation, Le Rouge Givenchy now comes in an easy-to-wear balm: Le Rouge-à-Porter. A unique, ultra sensorial formula that leaves a luminous colour and a naturally shiny finish on the lips. A palette of shades, each more appealing than the next. And with its case which is still sheathed in real leather, it is sure to be love at first sight... A lipstick with true style, Le Rouge-à-Porter is the ultimate fashion accessory that can make all the difference. Givenchy elegance in all its glory.

However I am not able to show us that as the one I'm holding is a mini sample! The original size of Givenchy Le Rouge-à-Porter is taller and more slender, which means it contains  a longer lipstick. But while its shape may differ from the original, its luxury case remains the same: Le Rouge-à-Porter is also presented in a genuine black leather case featuring a metallic stud inspired by the House’s fashion collections.

Givenchy Le Rouge a-Porter has a unique hybrid formula that strikes the perfect balance between the colour of a lipstick and a protective and skincare effect. The unique combination of spheres of hyaluronic acid natural microcrystalline waxes associated with the OleoCare complex helps to protect the lips while leaving a subtle, shiny finish.

Love the super light, Smooth and blendable texture. Le Rouge A Porter glides over my lips smoothing leaving them moisturised, supple and soft.

From the barest nude to the most intense, from the most natural to the most sophisticated, Le Rouge-à- Porter is available in 16 rich colours. I personally felt that Givenchy Rouge a-Porter is great for work and day look while Givenchy Le Rouge lipstick is perfect for your night out or candle light dinner because of the colour intensity and you will be able to create the impact you want. 

Givenchy Le Rouge Lipstick  is priced at RM121 while Givenchy Le Rouge a-Porter is selling at RM 130 in Sephora Malaysia. 

Review : THEFACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ Foundation gives fresh and flawless Korean makeup look!

How many time you refuse to put on makeup before you know your skin is oily and makeup will melt in our Malaysian humid weather? 

Thanks to waterproof mascara and eyeliner, even under hot sun or rain, they looks perfectly fine. As for face, I'm pretty blessed with normal to dry skin combination but there are times where weather are so hot that my skin sweat and becomes oily. I hate that foundation melted and it becomes patchy. How I wish there is a foundation that is sweat proof or have oil control formulation.

I was given THEFACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion SPF50+ PA+++  to put to test on our Malaysian weather which I was very excited to try out.

If you don't know yet THEFACECHOP is one of the leading cosmetic brand in Korea with more than 2,600 stores in 29 countries worldwide.

And I can't help to notice their brand ambassador Kim Soo Hyun who is from the STAR! His face looks so freaking flawless here... OMG... I think nicer than mine! Let's see if I can achieve flawless look like this!

THEFACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ (RM88.93 / 15g) is a new innovative type of makeup product that contains whole liquid foundation in a hard foundation case by using microfoam™. This Cushion promises to deliver perfect makeup look from morning to the end! 

A sebum controlling, matte cushion foundation for summer and great for people with oily skin.

THEFACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ *LG Patent “Micro Foam” is 4 times denser than usual polyurethane sponge. The micro foam is a non-drying contents which will keep its moist-full contents and provide even application for non-clumping effect.

THEFACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ provides 3 main benefits i.e Moisture Charge, Sebum Control and Long Lasting Ability.  

As some of you might know, Cushion Foundation is very different from our usual foundation because it's the ALL in ONE product that you need because it a sunblock (with SPF50+ PA+++), foundation, concealer and powder  & pact giving you light and fresh application.

It's really simple to use THEFACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion SPF50+ PA+++  as I just need to press the puff applicator to the cushion and lightly pat onto whole of my face. Within a minute I'm done , so easy to use!

I can feel cooling effect as I pat the puff on my skin and it did not dry out my skin even though the ingredients eliminates oily shine because it provides a moisture fix within the skin!

So here is my review of the THEFACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion V203 Natural Beige with before & after picture!

I applied THEFACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ on the right hand side as I am impressed with the huge difference. Coverage is quite good I would say. 

A close up before & after picture. 

As you can see my skin colour immediately looks more even, dark spots / pigmentations are reasonably covered giving it a fresh coverage. And I can see the pores are cleary minimized! 

Love the matte coverage! And it did stay all day long and even under hot weather, it did control the oil and does not melt the makeup away! Although I don't really have oily skin but this foundation does not dry me up, which are great!

Since my foundation is done, I finished up my look with THEFACESHOP makeup as well. Let's see if I can create a Korean insipred look with this! 

THEFACESHOP Dual Baked Shadow OR01 

A dual baked type shadow using terracotta technology to minimize fly-away powder and naturally adhere to skin giving your eyes a sophisticated shimmer.

Very pigmented and easy to blend. Very shimmering hence need to be careful when applying this eyeshadow. I prefer to use my fingers to blend. 

THEFACESHOP Freshen Volumizing Mascara in Black

Is formulated with inorganic powders and water-soluble FIX-UP POLYMERS for fast-drying, superior setting, and natural looking curls. A twisting bullet-shaped brush: with special criss-crossing, zigzag shaped brush applies mascara evenly while providing a double lift for each lash to avoid clumping so that lashes look clean and natural.

This is pretty easy to use so far I have not experience any smudges even under hot weather. It does provides a little bit of volumizing effect to my lashes.

THEFACESHOP Ink Graffiti Brush pen liner in 01 Ink Black

An easy-to-use pen liner provides bold and intense look with ink-jet formula which adds sheen to your eyes while polymer coating helps to maintain defined look.

Like how the tip is very thin & colour is very black, so easy to draw a thin line on my eyes. It's smudge proof and stay perfectly on my eyes all day long! 

This is the result of using THEFACESHOP products above!

THEFACESHOP Soft Cream Blusher 02 Coral

A soft cream type blusher that provides delicate radiance to cheeks with smooth creamy texture. I use my fingers to blend on my cheek. The colour is a little light hence I need to put more to build up the intensity. 

THEFACESHOP Ink Liquid in CR01 Coral Chu

A new type of lip color that is lipstick, lip gloss, lip tint melted into one. Love the lipstick effect that gives rich melting texture, tint effect that provides long lasting brilliant color and gloss effect that gives dewy and sparkling luster. It really lasts me the whole day!

Here is my full look using the above THEFACESHOP products! I love the fresh and flawless Korean makeup look!

So do I pass as a Korean now?  Annyeong-haseyo ~

Now I always carry THEFACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ (RM88.93 / 15g) in my bag because it's really great for Malaysia humid weather plus the result are pretty amazing! I would recommend you to do touch up after going under the sun to restore the full sun protection effect. And I would highly recommend this to people who has combination/oily skin or always go under the sun because it really effective in eliminates oily shine and provides a moisture fix within the skin! 

Good news is THEFACESHOP is having a Oil Zero Challenge for all Malaysian!

Review & Swatch : Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque

Ah I received this products a while ago from Bourjois Malaysia. At first I thought this product is our usual lip gloss. However it's not what I expected to be! This Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque is a HYBRID LIPSTICK which breaks all the rules and writes its own lip story.

 Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque comes with 8 pure and intense colours.

Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque offers colours that are pure and glowing. They are practically butter and wax-free so as to not disrupt the quality of the colour. As these “filters” have been eliminated, the colours are perfectly pure, each one fully expressing its portion of the colour spectrum. 

• The fresh nudes give you a healthy glow, 

• the elegant pinks are to die for and so flattering, 

• the vibrant oranges instantly put you in a good mood 

• and the flamboyant reds are simply sensational!

 I have 3 beautiful shade of Rouge Edition Aqua Laque to review. They are 01 Appechissant, 02 Rose on the Rocks and  07 Fuchsia Perche to try.

From the outside, the tube is transparent to reveal the colour of the laque and it comes with  high-shine fully chrome cap. I always like transparent tube because it makes me easier to make my pick. 

Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque consists high concentration of water and Nymphea extract which has great moisturising ability (10 hours), it contains all the elements necessary to achieve a light and extremely refreshing texture. 

A close up on their applicator.

I never really like these applicator and prefer to use lip brush. However this soft, dense flock applicator which features long fibres, it makes it easy that I can easily forgo my lip brsuh.

From the swatch, I see the colour is really pigmented and surprising the texture is really light like water and non-sticky at all! 

I read that Bourjois formula for hybrid lipsticks draws its inspiration from the technology used in foundations, with its emulsion-like properties. Bourjois has refined and enhanced the formula by reducing the presence of oil as much as possible. Once applied, the lipstick doesn’t budge. It doesn’t transfer onto the little cracks in the skin that it may encounter. 

This is my original lips colour is pale pink.

To use this Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque, you are advised to use it on cleansed & dry lips without any lip balm or lip liner. 

Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque in Appechissant

Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque in Appechissant shade comes in beautiful nude coral shade. 

Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque in Appechissant shade on my lips. Managed to cover my lip colour nicely with  very fine shimmer effect.  Love the wet shine look, not sticky at all! 

One of my colour of the 3 tubes :) Looks instantly bright up and this shade is easy to match with any makeup look. This colours stay nicely with drinking, but with eating the shine is gone (yeh I ate them lol) and left very light stain on my lips.

Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque in Rose on the Rocks

Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque in Rose on the Rocks comes in nude pinkish shade. 

I had high hope on this shade because from the name rosey shade usually suits me. Unfortunately this shade is too light & I can see lines on my lips. I found out this coverage seems to be a little be more sheer compare to the other two.

From far, the shade doesn't seems bad. But not my favourite colour to put, too sheer and light for my liking but if I would want to have natural lip colour I think this is the best choice. Texture wise they are very consistent, very light and watery feeling. After eating and drinking, I barely can see there is  any colour in my lips. 

Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque in Fuchsia Perche

Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque in Fuchsia Perche comes in very beautiful red fuschia. This is love at the first sight, I always love bright colour and this totally caught my eyes.

Love love love! Super intense, bright and glossy that will make head turns!

After trying all these three tubes, I can safely said their texture is non sticky and in fact the texture is as light as water. Amazing texture for such intensity of colour and coverage ! 

Red shade always work to brighten up my look...now m ready to rock & roll!

As you can see, after my lunch (eating & drinking) what's left on my lips is a beautiful red stain without the shine.

Looking at how long lasting the colour stay on my lips, please don't forget to use proper eye & lip makeup remover to remove any colour residue left on your lips.
