While fall is all about dark plum colors, pretty nudes remain a classic. Such is the case with Givenchy Le Rouge Intense Color Sensuously Matte Lipstick 206 Rose D’ Exception ($36, 0.12 oz). This lipstick is a limited edition for Fall 2013, along with Rouge D’ Exception (brick red) which I have reviewed a month ago. 206 is best described as rosy nude, a versatile shade I can wear any day, any time, any season.
Encased in a leather tube, this beauty easily earned a majestic status in my growing stash of high-end lipsticks. Semi-matte, creamy, daytime-friendly, classy, I can go on and on and be echolalic. But let me convince you with two words: Holy Grail. In days I am not feeling le bright or dark lips, I reach out for it.

Hi My Lisa Dearest! You are so JAWNERUZ with your comments, haha! Many mahalo's!!! Thanks to GHD flat iron, my frizzy hair is in order when this pic was taken, haha!
Gorgeous color! The packaging is so awesome too
Hi Krystle, thanks! The packaging is so posh!
Thats a great color for your skin! My usual go-to nude lippy is the Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Truffle!
Many mahalo's Miranda. I think (?!!) I have that truffle **looks in my vanity**
What a beautiful color and photos! That's the kind of splurge that is completely worth it.
Hi Shiela. Yep, definitely worth the price. Thanks for stopping by.
I love how this color looks on you! No wonder you love it ^_^ I haven't found my HG lipstick yet, maybe because I'm used to lip glosses.
Thanks so much. I go through phases, before I was more of a lipgloss gal but now I prefer lipsticks again 🙂
That is a very pretty pink lipstick.
Thanks Kimmi! Guess what, I'm wearing it as I respond to you 🙂
That's a beautiful color on you!
many mahalo's Phyrra!!!xo
