Hello cosmetic lovers!
I bought a set with these lipsticks in a duty free shop, as I can’t walk out of duty-free shops with nothing in my hands. I have already had one lipstick by Guerlain but it was from another collection. I was caught by the set with these lippies as it was much cheaper than buying three lipsticks separately.
Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire
Product claims:
The floral, fruity fragrance and exquisite flavour of Geurlain's La Petite Robe Noire Lipsticks attracts tender notes...and passionate kisses! Discover - La Petite Robe Noire Lipstick - Deliciously shiny... absolutely irresistible...
Inspired by the concept of La Petite Robe Noire and its joyful energy - Olivier Échaudemaison grants the wish of his adored muse and creates absolute essentials - La Petite Robe Noire Lipstick and La Petite Robe Noire Nail Polish; in vibrant colours, ultra-shiny textures and with a delectable scent.
La Petite Robe Noire Lipsticks come in a range of vibrant shades... colours with a twist - and all beautifully fragranced.
La Petite Robe Noire lipstick improves the texture of your lips over time - the more you use it, the more radiant and hydrated they become and it just glides on - on-the-go - even without a mirror.
The colour is pure from the first layer, but intensifies with further layers - either one layer to enhance the natural sensuality of the lips or several for a more dense and sophisticated look.
Packaging
Since I bought them in a set, they were house in a big card box.
At the same time each lipstick was carefully packed in an individual cardboard box as well.
The tubes with the lipsticks look very stylish! The top cap is see-through while the body of the tube is made of black plastic.
To take the cap off you need to pull the plastic heart on the top cap.
The products are very ergonomic and I feel like I'm holding a high-end product in my hands.

Colors and texture:
There are 25 colors in the La Petite Robe Noire Lipstick collection. In my set there were three of them.
001 My First Lipstick
This color has a lot of glitter particles to it. I feel it on my lips though I can’t say that it’s annoying or anything.
This lipstick is almost seamless on my lips 
002 Pink Tie
This one is brightest of all three. The color is very daring and glitter-free. The finish is satin.
061 Pink Ballerinas
Bright pink-peachy color that is barely visible on my lips.
These lippies aren’t creamy and they won’t give opaque coverage or cover the natural lip color. These ones remind me of a nourishing chapstick.
Fragrance
A floral fruity fragrance with accents of bergamot, rose and raspberry, inspired by the delicious notes of La Petite Robe Noire, and an exquisite flavour attract tender notes of passionate kisses. So addictive!
Well, I won’t describe the fragrance better than a manufacturer. For me these lipsticks smell sweet and pleasant. The flavor is also a little bit sweet but it isn’t annoying.
Suggested Usage:
-This product delivers three intensities in one customizable shade, thanks to its thin, lightweight texture.
-Smooth on one layer for a delicate and sensual halo of sheer color.
-Glide on a second coat to light up your smile for a vibrant finish.
-Add a third layer if you want a bold or sophisticated look.
My experience with the Guerlain La Petite Robe Noir Lipsticks:
For a reference and better understanding of the product application I want to say that my lips are always in good condition as I always take proper care of them with lips scrubs and balms. I also love butters for my lips and the Shea butter is one of my most favorite.
001 My First Lipstick
In the stick, the lippie looks cute and beautiful but once I apply it onto my lips, I have an impression that it’s a lip balm. The shimmer is visible only if you look very close. Do you need an expensive lipstick with shimmer that is almost undetectable on the lips? Well, I don’t.
002 Pink Tie
Bright pink barbie color. It isn’t so gliding as the previous one. It doesn’t dry out my lips and in general is rather comfortable during wear.
061 Pink Ballerinas
When I looked at this color for the first time, I liked it most of all among the others. It is comfortable on the lips but it creases, alas.
Advantages:
color selection
pleasant texture
nice fragrance
aren’t drying
Disadvantages:
Final thoughts:
Flavor… When I read the reviews of these products, the girls would say that the flavor is unbearable and awful.
I can’t say that I’m head over heels with these lipsticks. Of course I’ll continue using them as they cost a lot. But as for the shades, I’m not delighted with these ones from my set.
I can’t forgive the high-end product with such a shitty staying power and bad performance on the lips. I can tolerate the mass market products as they don’t cost a fortune, but high-ends cost a lot and we have the right to expect quality and good performance. What’s your opinion?

Will I repurchase? No! I wish all your splurging will always be good and reasonable.
