It’s been a while since I’ve tried anything new from Hermes Beauty but the holiday collection caught my eye so I splurged this year. Everything is beautiful. Here are my thoughts on each item. A lot of the pieces have been selling out quickly so you may need to shop around to find all the pieces.
Beige Doblis Matte Lipstick
Most of the lipsticks I’ve tried from Hermes are the Satin Lipstick formula but the Matte Lipstick in Beige Doblis ($90, Nordstrom, Saks, Neimans, Bloomingdale’s) is my new perfect everyday warm neutral. It’s creamy and smooth with a velvety soft finish that isn’t too matte. The color is absolute perfection for me. It’s a warm beige rose and I don’t think I’ve ever tried a color THIS perfect for everyday. I learned from a few of you on Instagram that this is actually part of the permanent/regular lipstick lineup. The limited-edition part of this lipstick is the embossing on the exterior for holiday.
Ombres Sables Eyeshadow Palette
Ombres d’Hermès in Ombres Sables ($121, Hermes and Nordstrom) is a neutral lovers dream come true. It looks very dupeable but undertones are perfect and way the colors wear makes for an effortless polished look. I have to admit when I was swatching this on the hand I was very underwhelmed by the texture of the powders. On the eyes they apply much better and the colors are very flattering. I do not think this is worth the steep price tag though, especially for the amount of product given.
Or Permabrass Highlighter Powder
Les Grigris Hermès Face and Eye Illuminating Powder in Or Permabrass ($121, Hermes, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s) is another beautiful champagne highlighter. I missed out on the previous limited-edition highlighters so I don’t have them to compare. This year’s reminds me of the highlighters from the Hourglass palettes, but it has a super fine iridescent shimmer that makes the skin glow in an unreal way. (I layered this on top of the Hermes Rose Ambre Blush). As beautiful as I think this one is, I don’t know that it is worth the steep price.
Or Rose Nail Polish
Nail Polish in Or Rose ($66, Saksand Bloomingdale’s) is the perfect golden bronze rose pink metallic. Festive, ultra smooth, perfect with two coats. I think this one is really beautiful. It pulls a little more coppery on my fingers compared to what I see I the bottle but I love it.
Lip Pencil
Last I wanted to give a little love to the Trait D’Hermes Lip Pencils ($53 each). I’ve had 4 in my collection and have been loving 16 Beige Tan and 18 Beige The. These are classic well pigmented lip pencils and I really love the neutrals. Long time readers know I struggle with lip pencils showing up on me because my lips have a darker lip tone. These actually show up to define my lips! I think 18 Beige The is the perfect match for the Beige Doblis Lipstick.
The stand outs for me are the Lipstick and Nail Polish! Have you tried the collection yet? What items are your favorites?
