It's a little late in the season but I've recently received the colorful
Givenchy Summer 2019 Solar Pulse Collection to test out. An ode to the sun, the limited edition seven-piece range focuses on two colors of summer: orange and blue. I've got reviews and swatches to share with you today. To read on, click......
Givenchy | Summer 2019 Healthy Glow Powder Marbled Edition ($68 CAD for 10 g):
Available in two shades, the Healthy Glow Powder Marbled Edition is a subtle bronzing highlighter with a silky, baked texture. "
2.5 Naturel Rosé" consists of swirls of pink champagne shimmer and soft bronze shimmer while "
4.5 Naturel Doré" has swirls of satin dark bronze and shimmery gold. Both shades are quite subtle and apply a lot lighter than they appear in the pan so they are more highlighting than they are bronzing.
The formulation is sheer but I love how the shimmers are subtle, providing a lovely sheen that's not sparkly or over the top. My personal favorite is "2.5 Naturel Rosé", which is a beautiful pink champagne that gives lighter skin tones a very natural and flattering glow.
Givenchy | Summer 2019 Khol Couture Waterproof Retractable Eyeliner ($32 CAD for 0.28 g):
The Khol Couture Waterproof Retractable Eyeliner features a creamy formulation that glides smoothly on the lids and sets to a smudge-proof and waterproof finish. "
09 Tangerine" is a shimmery bright orange and "
10 Azur" is a shimmery aqua blue. Both shades are super pigmented and opaque in one swipe.
Givenchy | Summer 2019 Gloss Interdit Vinyl ($37 CAD for 6 ml):
Two new limited edition Gloss Interdit Vinyl shades are introduced as a part of the Summer 2019 Collection. "
14 Solar Orange" is a semi-sheer popsicle orange and "
15 Vibrant Blue" is an iridescent sheer blue shimmer suspended in a clear lipgloss base. The glosses are packaged in a luxurious clear and black acrylic tube paired with a "G" shaped (for Givenchy) doe-foot applicator.
The Gloss Interdit Vinyl formulation is lightweight, gel-like, and non-sticky. The finish is super shiny and the gloss feels hydrating and cushiony. "14 Solar Orange" is a fun shade that stands out on its own while "15 Vibrant Blue" looks better over a bright pink or berry base.
Givenchy | Summer 2019 Le Vernis in "14 Vivid Orange" ($30 CAD for 10 ml):
This is a hot and juicy bright orange nail polish. The formulation is very pigmented and creamy but the finish is just a touch streaky. There was a bit of bubbling as well but that's avoidable as long as you let the first layer dry completely. I used two coats for the swatches below but you can technically get away with just one.
