Swatching My Stash Part 1: Lipsticks - Rouge G de Guerlain

I've had a few requests for lipstick swatches after my stash videos and pictures, so I thought I'd go through my stash and swatch every lipstick I own, especially as it would be very useful for my reference too. You know, I have so many lipsticks and usually not much time to apply my make up, I often don't have time to rummage around my lipsticks to pick out a certain shade, so I usually choose from a limited number of lipsticks that I know exactly what colour they are just from the shade names. If I swatch them all, I will hopefully remember what shades are which, and also, possibly discover that I already own so many of certain shades that I really like and keep buying. Since I'm trying to limit my make up buying, I'm sure this will help loads.

So I thought I'd start with my favourite brand Guerlain and within them my most luxurious and most expensive lipsticks: Rouge G de Guerlain. If you want to know more about these lipsticks, please check out my review of Rouge G Brillant B64 Bee and the Serie Noire Rouge G lipsticks. For now I will show you the swatches (there's a lot!).

Next I'm planning to swatch my Guerlain Kiss Kiss lipsticks and after them probably my Mac lipsticks. Let me know if there are any other ones you're particularly interested in, although I'm planning on swatching my entire stash (it might take a while though).

  3. @baby in the corner, I was wondering about Gaela as I was looking on the Guerlain website for the shade names (my testers only have numbers on them) and coulnd't find Gaela. That's a shame, it's so pretty.

  4. Yes I know! Which ones do you like best out of these? Orange Europhique is such a great unique shade I think!

  5. Very hard to choose favourites. I love Gentiane, Berry, Giovanna, Gaela, Guilette, Gemma, Rouge Sensuel especially I think. Orange Europhique is very pretty too. And Gigi, lol.

  7. Thank you for the brilliant swatches! I must say that Guerlain's packaging is one of the best out there! The colors are pretty sheer and since I don't like a too opaque lipstick, this is great!
