vanicream review for Le Rouge Interdit Intense Silk Lipstick

I have a limited edition full size Givenchy lipstick which is my absolute favorite, Grenat Initie. It prompted me to get 4 minis as part of the holiday 2022 set from Sephora. It includes 2 of these intense silk formulas (black caps) as well as 2 velvets (pink caps, those are awesome as well btw) for $50 retail but I got it for $30 on sale at Sephora. The intense silk shades are 116 (dusty rose) and 37 (blue based red). Overall, I love them for everyday and the set is great especially since you get to try out 4 shades and formulas. I use them as a quick lipstick and blush (and even dust it across the eyes) to instantly look more alive. ✅ Shades are very well done, they mesh well with my light olive skin which can be difficult. ✅ Formula is silky soft. They are not too creamy that they slide around but they also are blendable enough to be used as a sheer stain or blended on the cheeks. ✅ Longevity is good, they last decently through eating and drinking. ✅ Packaging is luxurious. The minis don't feel heavy but they still mimic the full size. The black caps are made of leather and the pink caps are made of velvet. The lipsticks are also embossed with the Givenchy logo. I actually prefer the mini size for travel, for instance I just took 2 on a trip for more shade options.
