Remember Gucci Beauty? They launched back in 2014, with Pat McGrath as one of the creative directors, but the range faded into oblivion in 2016.
They've relaunched now, with a spankin' range of 58 lipsticks in three finishes, for Summer 2019! The range is inspired by Old Hollywood and art and antiques - a passion of current creative director Alessandro Michele (shared by yours truly). This shows in the naming of the lipsticks, as well as the packaging.
Since I've been having a rough time lately, with allergy issues for myself and health issues for my family as well, I decided to treat myself to some of these (as well as a couple of other luxury lipsticks - see here for another recent lipstick haul - I tell you, there is NOTHING like a luxe lippie to cheer you up). Unfortunately, the more muted shades were out of stock when I placed my order, so I picked some of the bolder and brighter shades. I held off on the review, hoping the subtler shades would be back in stock soon. I then lost patience, and went ahead with the review, only to find that all the shades were back in stock! I have some dusty roses on their way to me - I will be adding the swatches of those to this very same post, so do bookmark it and check back in a couple of weeks' time!
For now, I have some of the bolder, fuchsia shades to show you, though I'll definitely tell you what shade numbers contain what colour families, and how to choose the shade you want.
UPDATE: I HAVE RECEIVED MORE NEUTRAL COLOURS - SWATCHES ADDED BELOW.

Second lot of swatches, including neutral and everyday colours:
That packaging is just gorgeous, with the art deco design on the lid. I'm relieved that the bullets are "regular" in shape - we've seen too many gimmicky bullets recently, with tips in all sorts of shapes. IMO, this kind is the best for ease of application.
The tubes are heavy and sturdy, and look and feel very luxurious. I love the vintage look to them, and they'll look amazing on the vanity.
As I said in my video review, the formula is extremely creamy and comfortable. I cannot wait to see more from Gucci Beauty. Hopefully they'll have more products out soon, and are here to stay!
To buy the Gucci Beauty Rouge a Levres Satin Lipsticks, go here (UK and worldwide), or here (US as well as worldwide). You can buy from here as well, if you are US-based. These are £34, or $38 each, and are a fabulous Summer treat for yourself or for someone special!
