I'm not sure I like the packaging of the lipstick. It looks cute, but the little string at the base of the lipstick doesn't appeal to me, just like how Dior Addict lipstick has a knob. The lipsticks have a pretty range of colour though, so maybe I'll get one to try soon, because I'm getting more curious about this brand. I recently purchase the holiday powder which I have not use. This is my first item from the brand!

Normally the only place Givenchy shows up here (other than their fragrances) is at Sephora, but I haven't seen this one yet. Their prices tend to be on the low end of prestige brands- a bit higher than Nars but less then Chanel or YSL.

I made the "mistake" of trying on a Givenchy lipstick. I tried on the new one "Liv's Lips". It is black in the tube but turns a luscious plum with a delicate blue undertone and some barely perceptible shimmer. And it is the most luscious feeling lipstick I have ever put on my lips. I love it. I may have to go back and get the new red as well.

Thanks Kate, so this is part of the spring collection? If so I must keep an eye out. I was thinking Givenchy usually ran lower than say special highlighters from Chanel that can climb way up there. I haven't used this brand in forever but I think I need to start paying more attention to it.

Sorry I've got brain overload.

It was from this year's holiday collection.
I don't know the US price, but it was more expensive than all these special powders from high end brands usually are. I think the case is made of authentic leather (someone correct me if that's wrong) and that's why it's pricier. It was 65 Euro here, the Bucolique powder from the spring collection this year was 50, for comparison.

Swatches of the new lipstick! http://www.britishbeautyblogger.com/2012/12/givenchy-le-rouge-swatches.html Not a fan of overly sweet and fruity scented lip products so I have to take a good sniff at these. The tube looks all right in the pics, although I prefer square tubes. I like Rose Tafettas and Fuchsia Irresistible.

How does it compare to the YSL polar ice? highlighter powder as far as being very sparkly? Can't remember which one I read a review on that said it was qite glittery.

I only have the YSL one, so I can't compare. I think Macina has both, maybe she can answer that question.
Judging from swatches and knowing Givenchy, I'd guess that the YSL is more sparkly.

Yes...that is right.

I think that you can not compare these 2 powders.They are completely different IMO.
The YSL one is more an iridescent white pink whereas the Givenchy one is a rosy glow.

Here is a swatch of the Givenchy powder:

And here is the link to my swatch of the YSL one:

My swatch is not very good but maybe it helps to see the difference.

Naynadine--I know, its crazy when I pulled the shipping up. I did a search for Harrods coupons and one came up about a discount on US shipping. But it connects you to straight to Harrods site but does not add the discount and the coupon site doesn't show a code to put in. There is a place when you go to your cart to add a discount code.

Do you think its worth the cost to make a thread to request a cp? It looks so pretty. I hate when brands do products that aren't available to all places that sell the brands cosmetics, so frustrating.

I'm not sure that heps, but I think the Givenchy boutique in Epcot, DisneyWorld, FL carries the whole make-up range (they have a lot anyway). If you can find a way to contact them, maybe they can do shipping? It's closer than Harrods, lol. Across-the-Atlantic shipping is outrageously expensive, anyway.

my latest favorite thingy is Le Prisme Enchante. it's just what i've been looking for. highlights with build-able shimmer sheen without any chunky sparkles and heavy darker tones. I was surprised that Sephora France got some bad reviews on the product. Maybe those ladies bought it without really testing...
