Guerlain Tender Lilac (829) KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipstick BalmGuerlain Tender Lilac (829) KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipstick Balm ($ 39.00 for 0.11 oz.) Is a medium black plum with subtle, cool undertones and a natural sheen. It had a medium coverage that could be built up to a semi-opaque coverage with a second layer. The texture felt smooth, slightly pliable, but not overly slippery and thin without being clingy. The color was applied evenly to my lips and held on well for four hours while feeling moisturizing over time.

Formula overview
$ 39.00 / 0.11 oz. – – $ 354.55 an ounce
The formula is said to provide “full coverage” with a “high gloss” finish that leaves lips appearing smoother and more hydrated. Coverage ranged from medium to mostly opaque, with some shades closer to full coverage. The texture was smooth, slightly pliable and, as expected, balm-like, which was comfortable to apply and wear.
Most of the shades were applied evenly, softening the look of my lip lines and forgiving imperfections, although some of the lighter shades were less forgiving. They lasted between three and five hours, with darker, more red-based hues lasting longer and leaving subtle stains. The formula had a strong, floral scent and sometimes a subtle, soapy taste (although it does match the brand’s lip products and their scent).
