When Gucci first dropped this latest iteration of lipsticks, I kind of glossed over them. It's unusual, because I'm always all over what new beauty treats come forth from design houses where beauty is not, usually, in their portfolio. I do know that Gucci launched a makeup line around five or six years ago, but there was no interest for me there, either.
But recently, I went to the Gucci website to purchase a pair of shades I had my eye on, and I decided to look at the lipsticks again. I took my time going through all of the shades and many texture options. The gorgeous way the lipsticks were presented on their website was so pretty -- I decided to hit up Youtube to see what some beauty vloggers were saying about them. I came across one review from one vlogger and her positive review convinced me to make the purchase.
I can say with assurance that once I got the Gucci lipsticks ($42) in my hands and tried them for myself, my first thought was that this was money well spent. The textures I got were four mattes and two satin textures. The textures are the true stars of the Gucci lipsticks. The mattes are creamy, creamy, creamy! They are non-drying and feel super soft and pillowy on the lips. I believe that this particular matte formula lends itself to helping the pigments shine even brighter than a lot of mattes on the market today.
The satin textures are just as luxurious as the mattes. They are smooth as silk and wearing them is like you aren't wearing anything at all.
As stated, I went through each shade and texture (six textures of matte, satin, sheer, glitter, metallic, and balms) offering and I landed on my first six shades that I wanted to try.
Starting clockwise the shades are Agatha Orange, They Met In Argentina, Cimarron, Pauline Brown, Mona Leslie Cameo, and Love Before Breakfast.
