It’s never too late to add a touch of holiday sparkle and shine to your makeup regimen, and I’ve found the new, limited edition holiday palette from Givenchy to perfectly meet my needs. I tested the latest lipstick, lipgloss, and eye liner in elegant pearl, tender pearl, and pearl shine, and was beyond pleased with the results. I never like to go overboard with the shimmer, and these floaty, light colors are an easy way to add some oomph to your usual color palette. The Gloss Interdit Ultra-Shiny Color Plumping Effect in ‘elegant pearl’ is a color that is out of this world; the silver shade possesses an intense, liquidy-silver shade inside of the bottle, but when applied, blends so well that you look less ‘space age chic’ and more ‘runway ready’. Also worth a mention is the subtle pink shade ‘pearl shine’, found in the Rouge Interdit Shine Lipstick, which is an amazingly easy shade of pink to wear due to its pale hue, but also the packaging of the lipstick is incredible! It’s most certainly very well-branded, with the ribbon and Givenchy logo hanging below – bravo!
Where to buy:
Gloss Interdit Ultra-Shiny Color Plumping Effect, $24.50 at Sephora in elegant pearl and tender pearl
Rouge Interdit Shine Lipstick, $27, at Sephora in pearl shine
Parad’Eyes Fluid Eye Liner, $27, at Sephora, in elegant and tender pearl.
This somewhat reminds me of the Wet Shine Diamonds line from Maybelline. I actually have a stick, called Gold Pinky Ring. It looks fantastic on me (which is odd b/c I have pale skin and it’s got sparkly gold in it). I haven’t really seen anything quite like it. Has anyone found a line of lipstick comparable to that (especially at a lower price point) and possibly near that shade?
