Sneak Peek: Shiseido Lacquer Rouge

L-R: RD203 Portrait, RD305 Nymph, BE306 Camel, RS404 Disco, RD501 Drama, OR508 Blaze, RD607 Nocturne, RD702 Savage

Such is the perils of guerilla swatching, but I take what I can get! For a quick review (and better swatches), visit Ars Aromatica.

I couldn't test it at the counter because the SA was absent and I didn't want to use the included wand. Desperate times call for desperate measures, so I finger-applied them to my lips. My initial impression is they feel very comfortable and moisturizing. From the way they swatched on the back of my hand, I am quite certain these could be sheered out easily if you want an alternative to full coverage. 

Shiseido Lacquer Rouges retail for $25 and is available at most major department stores and Sephora. The downside is they look tiny at 0.2oz, but that is the same size as a Chanel Rouge Allure Laque that used to go for $32, and those things take a long time to run out.

  2. I really like the feel of these, but I was sad to discover that many of the shades have microglitter. Whyyyyyy?

  7. I have tried the new Shisedo lacquer but not liking it. Color is very intense but I didn't see any shades I really fall into. Thanks for the swatch.

  8. Love it! Thank you for the swatches. I like Portrait, but I'm loving the matte finish of my Canvas Hourglass Opaque Rouge. They're similar pinks, don't think I need both ;)

  9. I played with a few testers that were (thankfully) new and I LOVE Portrait and Nymph! I was thisclose to walking away with both, but that was also the day I made the impromptu Kevyn Aucoin purchases so I backed out at the last minute...definitely going back for them though!!

  10. I have Nocturne and I love it; it's a great "Snow White" red and the formula is top-notch. I definitely want Nymph, and I'm debating Portrait.
