I tried a a deluxe sample of the Rouge Interdit in Magenta.

I was at first afraid of the bright, pink color, until I swatched it. This lipstick is a bit sheer, and the color is easily buildable. I actually like that it’s a bit sheer, since it’s a bold color, and this way I may be able to make it work for me.

The lipstick is amazingly easy to apply. The formula is very hydrating, so it glides over lips almost like a lip balm. It also feels like a lip balm on the lips. I felt comfortable wearing it all day. I would say that it gives a medium coverage, but it can be sheer if you don’t layer it up like I did.

The lipstick is not long lasting, but still it’s longer lasting that I expected for such a hydrating formula. I got 3-5 hours of wear before having to reapply, depending on how much water I drank. I had to reapply after eating.

It leaves a nice, even stain, that makes my pale lips rosy looking.

I think the color is really fun!
