Givenchy Le Rouge Lunar New Year Edition ($40) is a limited edition packaged red lipstick (Shade: 325 Rouge Fetiche) that launched in celebration of the Chinese New Year 2019. Givenchy and a few select higher-end brands have always paid tribute to the Lunar Year by releasing smaller makeup collections that typically include a red lipstick. Because how can you celebrate the Lunar Year without a lucky red lipstick right"
I’ve collected quite a few of Givenchy’s Lunar releases but never reviewed them however, recently I asked for your feedback about what you’d like to see at Musings of a Muse and many of you had asked for luxury makeup reviews so here we are!
Let’s take a look at the Givenchy Le Rouge Lunar New Year Edition.
One thing to keep in mind is that this shade is part of the permanent Le Rouge Collection. If you do have a few of Givenchy’s Le Rouge Lipsticks you might want to double check before buying the Lunar New Year Edition as the packaging is limited edition but not the shade.

Speaking of packaging this comes in a red leather covered case with silver accents and a gorgeous cherry blossom design. It’s a stunning presentation for the lipstick and the case/cap is reusable should you want to refill it with another shade.
This isn’t quite a traditional red but more of an orange-red that felt cooler to me. The lipstick finish is described as matte but looks has a hint of shine on lips with a gorgeous, hydrating glide...
