Hey there, beautiful people, welcome back to Beautyistic! If you’re like me, finding that perfect lipstick can sometimes feel like a never-ending search. Well, today we’re exploring one that promises not only stunning color but also some serious hydration—Guerlain KissShineBloom Lipstick in the shade 509 Wild Kiss. Let’s see if it lives up to the hype!
First off, let’s talk about the basics. This lipstick claims to deliver 24-hour hydration with a formula that’s packed with naturally derived ingredients. It’s a stick lipstick, which makes application pretty easy. The standout here is its “melting texture,” which promises a smooth, luscious feel on the lips—something we all want, right? And, importantly, it’s paraben-free, making it a gentler option for those of us who like to stay away from those additives.
Now, how did this lipstick hold up in real-world testing? I’ve been wearing it for the past few days, and let me tell you, the first thing I noticed was how easily it glided onto my lips. No tugging, no dryness—just smooth application. I loved how lightweight it felt too, not heavy at all, yet it still provided a nice pop of color. As for the shade 509 Wild Kiss, it’s a gorgeous warm, rosy tone with a beautiful watery shine, perfect for daily wear or a more casual look. The shine isn’t too over-the-top, but it definitely gives your lips that fresh, dewy appearance.
I tested it throughout the day during my regular activities: talking, drinking, and even snacking. The hydration lasted a good few hours, though I did need to reapply after eating or drinking, which is typical for most lipsticks. What’s nice, though, is that it doesn’t feel dry or patchy when you reapply, which is often a problem with some other lipsticks. The texture is so smooth that it’s easy to layer without any issues.
Let’s break down the pros and cons.
On the positive side, the texture is incredible—it’s almost like the lipstick melts into your lips, giving them that plump, hydrated look. The color payoff is decent, and it doesn’t feel sticky or heavy. Plus, the fact that it’s paraben-free makes it feel like a safer, more gentle option for your lips.
On the flip side, though, the 24-hour hydration claim? Not totally true for me. While it’s hydrating when you first apply it, you will need to reapply after a few hours, especially if you’re eating or drinking. Also, while it’s marketed as a “watery shine,” I would have liked a little more staying power with the shine effect.
So, does this lipstick offer value for its price? I think it does, especially if you’re someone who appreciates a formula that’s gentle and hydrating. However, if you’re expecting a lipstick that will stay flawless for hours without reapplication, you might find it lacking. The price is definitely on the higher end, but given the smooth texture, hydration, and paraben-free formulation, it feels like it’s worth it if you’re looking for that perfect everyday lip.
If you’re on the hunt for something similar but at a more affordable price point, there are plenty of options that provide hydration and smooth textures without the hefty price tag. I recommend checking out some of the top drugstore brands, which offer similar formulas and shades at a fraction of the cost.
Now, let’s talk about the build quality. The lipstick comes in a sleek tube, which feels luxurious and is easy to carry around. It doesn’t feel like something that will break or get damaged easily. The packaging is simple but elegant, definitely fitting for a high-end brand like Guerlain.
Customer support? I haven’t had to reach out to Guerlain for this product, but based on their reputation, they generally have a pretty solid customer service experience. However, it’s worth mentioning that Guerlain as a brand is known for offering good customer service in case you have any concerns.
I do want to wrap this up with a quick comparison to a similar product—Chanel’s Rouge Coco Bloom Lipstick. It also offers hydration and a nice shine, but the Guerlain lipstick feels a bit smoother in texture, while the Chanel has a longer-lasting finish. It’s up to you whether you want to go for the luxury factor or a slightly more durable option.
In conclusion, the Guerlain KissShineBloom Lipstick in 509 Wild Kiss is a beautiful, hydrating option for those looking for a smooth, shiny lip color with a luxe feel. While it might not completely deliver on the 24-hour hydration claim, its formula is definitely gentle, and it provides a refreshing, plump look. If you’re willing to reapply throughout the day, it’s a great pick.
