This week I embarked upon an epic quest to swatch every single one of the Rouge Automatique shades from Guerlain.

Aside from adding a lot new things to my wants list (Mitsouko, Coque d’Or, Nahema and L’Heure Bleue – you will be mine!), I ended up rediscovering my deep appreciation for the absolute luxury of the Rouge Automatique formulation. Buttery, long-lasting and so comfortable to wear, it’s the latest in a long range of knock-out lip formulations from Guerlain.

So, on to the swatches….
