Shade: Raspberry #31

Please welcome Jamilla back from her almost year-long hiatus from blogging!  Although the picture is blurry, the shade is so gorgeous it doesn’t seem to matter.

Jamilla is currently NC30 (it varies from season to season!!)

Brand: Giorgio Armani
Range: Gloss D’Armani
Shade: Rouge #400
Swatched by yours truly: akisa

• High definition colour lipgloss, featuring Armani’s exclusive Color Bond Polymers (also found in Rouge D’Armani lipsticks) that has the ability to form a supple mesh that traps pigments and pearlescent particles.
• Pigmented yet translucent, high shine and silky finish that’s not sticky.
• Rouge 400 is Armani’s signature red shade, which is also available in Rouge D’Armani lipsticks.
• Available in 18 shades
• Texture is more lightweight than Dior, but heavier than Clarins and smoother than Estee Lauder.
• Verdict: Luxurious lipgloss for those that love injecting glamour in every detail.  A versatile lipgloss that can be worn sheer as a red tint or layered on for a juicy red pout.

Even though this promises to be long lasting, I recommend lining lips with a sheer wash of red liner so you’re left with a red stain even if the gloss wears off.

This product was sent for consideration.

Brand: Giorgio Armani
Range: Sheer Lipstick
Shade: #34
Swatched by yours truly: akisa

• Really hydrating yet ultra translucent and lightweight that enhances the natural tone of your own lips.
• No shimmers, no frost or creams.  Just translucent, juicy tinted lips.
• Shade 34 is not listed on the US website, but it’s a red brick shade that’s a lovely autumn shade, or a neutral red for warmer skintones.
• Shade 8 from the same range is what I’m wearing in all my avatars on Twitter, Facebook etc.
• Verdict: If get excited by bold lips but like to keep it subtle, this is the lipstick for you.  Highly recommended for those who struggle with lipstick formulas that blend well with your lip surface / lip tone.

Jamilla describes this a browny pink shade.

It’s a long-wearing soft textured formula & apparently lasts up to 8 hours of intense colour!
Lipstick case comes with magnetic closure.

Found this two-toned pic used to promote 14 June “Kiss Day” in Korea~

This two-toned look is inverted from my last attempt (that was orange top, pink bottom).
I used lippie before gloss to accentuate the hues in this look.
