Rouge Bunny Rouge Word of Mouth Lipstick +

Rouge Bunny Rouge is a relatively new makeup line based from Russia. I've heard of this line through the grapevine of the makeup community. What makes me sad is that it's not sold in the United States, but it is sold on Zuneta. Anyway, a little bit about the brand:

What makes the website in of itself stand out is the very visual and beautiful layout. Another aspect are their intense descriptions of the products, as seen on their lipstick page seen here:

The fiercely beautiful royal dragonflies from the Enchanted Garden inspired us to concoct this glorious beam of a lipstick for you.

Their buzzing intensity has been poured into the most vividly delectable hues imaginable, to make your lips appear instantly fuller, and bewitchingly luminous.

Ok, sounds a little over the top (to me), but at least the theme is original, unlike most products that are based off of something sexual, like say NARS blushes. It sounds pretty and glamourous, but does it really live up to their descriptions? For Word of Mouth lipstick, yes, it does. 

Packaging: It comes in a sleek black tube, with a flowery/garden like design on the bottom of the tube. I do wish that it had a magnetic enclosure, but it's a small con. My main concern is the cap falling off in my bag, but the lid doesn't easily slide off either. The tube is sturdy, which I like.

Texture: Can I just take a few moments to discuss this? It's what I've dreamed in terms of what my dream lipbalm and lipstick in one would feel like on my lips. It's definitely a full coverage lipstick, but the balm feeling is amazing. It's really a unique formula in of itself. It has been a long time since I've been really blown away with such a texture.

Longevity: It's not as long-lasting as my Giorgio Armani Rouge d'Armani lipstick, but you do get a few hours with it. The best part is due to the brilliant texture, it wears off to a beautiful balmy stain. When it does wear off, the balm feeling remains and your lips feel so moisturized and hydrated. 

The color itself, well let's see some photos:

The closest color that I have in my makeup vault is probably Shu Uemura.

Is it worth getting: Yes !! Word of Mouth is such a soft shade that even fair ladies would feel comfortable wearing it. I know this color will be a staple in my makeup bag with my pretty Rouge d'Armani lipsticks. I'll be buying more Rouge Bunny Rouge when I return from vacation. :)

  2. Gorgeous! I wish I had seen your RBR red swatches before placing my order. I am getting Got Rid of the Man and Whim of Mine, and already I want Word of Mouth and Raw Silence!

  3. Well Zuzu, I think this calls for another order in the future ! :D I'm curious to see how whim of mine looks applied on the lips. I'll be waiting to see how it looks on you :)

  4. panties, I blogged about Whim of Mine. It's really pretty, but you might find too warm, as it seems you prefer reds and cool, deep pinks. I did immediately place a backup order and got Word of Mouth!

  5. I may give it a shot! It doesn't seem too warm either that it would look garish. Thank you for your review :)
