PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: GIVENCHY TARTINE ET CHOCOLAT EDT 100ML

Here's an initial review on GIVENCHY TARTINE ET CHOCOLAT EDT

PRICE: AROUND 2-3K (LOCALLY)
PLACE BOUGHT: TAIPEI
OTHER LOCATIONS: RUSTAN'S; THE PERFUMERIE (POWERPLANT MALL)

THE VERDICT:

Tartine Et Chocolat brings you back to your childhood. It's a delicate scent that doesn't smell like perfume at all. I would describe the scent as a warm summer day in the garden where you used to frolic and wander around when you were a child.

TEC is a breezy scent. It was introduced in 1987 by the House of Givenchy as a unisex scent for children. It was once in a tall, square bottle, and has evolved in the 1990's into this shapely bottle. It was well- loved by parents for their children and themselves as well. Tartine Et Chocolat has become a signature vintage scent ever since.

TEC is a citrus-y musk scent. At first spray, the sunny citrus accord hits your nostrils. It's not too sharp, and not too light either. After a few seconds, the musk starts enveloping the citrus scent, which gives the scent a warmer touch. Sillage is quite low, but the perfume doesn't stay for long.

It's a great scent for the young and the young at heart. Whenever I feel like smelling fresh, clean, and young, I would reach for TEC. A whiff of this perfume is like a pleasant reminder of all the happy, sunny, and simple days of my childhood.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: GIVENCHY ROUGE D' INTERDIT LIPSTICK IN 12 SENSUAL ROSE

Here's an initial review on GIVENCHY ROUGE D' INTERDIT SATIN LIPSTICK IN 12 (SENSUAL ROSE)

PRICE: 1050PHP
PLACE BOUGHT: EBAY
OTHER LOCATIONS: STRAWBERRY.NET; SEPHORA

THE VERDICT:

I've been lemming for this lipstick for quite some time now so when I finally had the chance to purchase it online through sis Sol (super thanks again!). Without hesitations, I asked her to place the order for me. :)

The package came after 12 days along with my Benefit Silky- Finish Lipstick. :)

The lipstick came with a protective cap on the lace to prevent it from being deformed while in the box.

The reason why I've decided to make this lipstick a part of my lipstick project is because I fell in love with the packaging and of course, it's Givenchy. So let's now go to the actual product.

Sensual Rose is described as a rose berry shade in Sephora. com. But I don't find any berry hues on the shade but rather, a strong coral undertone. Oh well, Sephora would always inconsistently describe shades. :p

This lipstick has a perfume scent but amazingly, the scent doesn't come off when applied on the lips. So for those who would prefer their lipsticks unscented and without any perfume taste, this is good for you. :)

I actually find this a bit coral- ish. I can see the overall rose hue but this one has a very strong coral undertone that almost makes this pink- orange- ish. But what I love about this color is how it adds a lovely coral hue to my lips without looking to cheap though it's quite bright.

The formula is silky. It glided like satin cloth on my lips. It doesn't run off or bleed on the sides of my lips and it settles to a semi- matte finish.

I looove the color. It's makes my face look fresh, thanks to the rose- coral shade. It doesn't make my teeth look garish at all! It is also long- lasting and the formula does moisturize. However, if you have extra dry lips, make sure to use lipbalm before applying this because lipstick can tend to settle on your lips by drying up, making chapped lips more felt and visible.

And I'd just like to show you my collection of high- end branded lippies. I'M SO PROUD OF MY BABIES! :)

2 WEEKS TO GO BEFORE MY LIPSTICK PROJECT ENDS! :P
