Thy Givenchy Le Rouge Intense Color Sensuously Matte Lipstick is the fairest of them all. Encased in genuine leather, the ultra-luxe Le Rouge Lipstick from Givenchy doubles as a uber chic accessory. Rose D’Excpetion is one of two ‘limited edition’ shades from their latest Soir D’Excpetion Collection for Fall. Rose D’Exception Le Rouge was released with a matching Givenchy Le Vernis of the same shade.
I must admit that when I was first introduced to the new Le Rouge lipstick from Givenchy along with the leather bullet and pyramid studding, I thought, “they have gone too far”. As time passed, the idea seemed less outrageous. I might even admit that my curiosity was eventually piqued, although I still didnt cave. Be that as it may, Givenchy then released the perfect “Taylor shade” in an even more attractive metallic leather case and they threw in a matching polish! Call me a sucker, I caved big time.
Rose D’Exception Le Rouge comes in a ‘limited edition’ metallic pebbled leather case with their traditional silver pyramid studding. What is even more beautiful than the bullet is the exquisite formula. Described as a ‘semi-matte‘ lipstick, Le Rouge is unlike any other matte lipstick that you might be familiar with. Rose D’Exception provides full color in one swipe, like a matte formula but without any of the dryness. I will even go as far as saying that it’s hydrating. It glides on without the slightest pull, leaving soft, silky color that lasts through hours of wear.
The swatch above was created with just one swipe. It’s seriously like butter. Rose D’Exception is described as a soft rosy pink. I think it leans a little cooler and lighter than your traditional rosy lipsticks. This shade is utter perfection and perfect for fall, think ‘nudes’ and ‘lilac-tones’. Rose D’Exception Le Vernis is a perfect pairing, if only slightly deeper. The only downside is that it’s LE, so grab it while you can!

Have you tried the Le Rouge formula? Thoughts?
How beautiful, Taylor! This color suits you so well (and I love the packaging of the lipstick). Though I’m not certain about how well I could pull off the shade on my lips, I’ve definitely been lusting after the polish!

I adore the packaging is seriously amazing! This lipstick looks amazing, I have to put it on my wishlist. Great review by the way
MAN that is GORGEOUS on you! I love it! What a classy and elegant shade!
Oh my gosh, such eye candy. The shades complement each other so beautifully. They match, without being “matchy matchy.” Absolute perfection on you!
What a beautiful coloured lipstick! Love the matching combo idea. 🙂
The colors are a perfect match! Nice! 🙂
Hey Taylor, this is really a you shade! Incredibly gorgeous! I have tried Le Rouge and I’d definitely like more of them! It’s amazing how such a formula stays in place so perfectly well!
This color is wow, just wow! It’s perfect on you! It reminds me a little of NARS Tolède which was my favorite this summer. I’ve been lusting after Givenchy l/s and will definitely have a look at this one.
I LOVE this shade on you! It is a Taylor shade, for sure. And I love the finish of these lipsticks! Gotta check ’em out.
I absolutely love that you thought “They have gone too far”! I am in serious LURVE with both the polish and the lipstick! I am a sucker for a beautiful pink lippie and this one looks like a winner-winner-chicken-dinner situation. Is it bad that I went to see how much it was and thought “$36 bucks? That’s not bad.”?! I am definitely getting desensitized to high-end pricing because I used to think $14 was highway robbery! But now I’m like, “LOOK AT THAT TUBE?!?!? GORGEOUSNESS!” 🙂
I love this shade on you! It’s natural but rosy at the same time. Gorgeous, Taylor!
Ahhh, I love the effect of the lips + nails combo! Such a gorgeous color, which of course, suits you! 🙂
ooh it is so pretty on you!!
These are definitely Taylor shades!! 🙂 I love love love the look of both on you, my dear. I am DYING to try one of the lipsticks but we don’t have the full line, usually just the LE releases if we’re lucky, so it’s tough. I might cave and just buy one online sight unseen. I’m getting the serious itch!
