These new Givenchy Le Rouge Interdit Baumes are right up my street – natural ingredients (96%), hyaluronic, jojoba seed and Acmella Oleracea extracts all make for a silky, nourishing balm. The plant Acmella Oleracea is interesting, especially for its common names – toothache plant, Szechuan buttons, paracress and buzz buttons. I feel that buzz buttons are a marketing department’s dream ingredient! It’s said to give a smoothing and tightening effect to the lips but so far I haven’t noticed anything.
The level of detail is what’s exciting me – see the Givenchy logo all the way around the bullets? I know that No.10 bullet looks black but it’s a very, deep grey with some burgundy undertones. It’s pH responsive and came up a lovely colour on me – it’s a French colour.
It’s pink with a slightly brown/grey edge and I love it.
The white bullet, No.00, is basic balm with no colour – it gives a pleasant gleam though but I wouldn’t describe it as glossy as such so definitely a winner for those who don’t like very high sheen. The balms are £34 each HERE.
