Originally, I discovered this product while searching for a birthday gift for a friend who is a Francophile. Red lipstick and Guerlain are essentially Parisienne, and this turned out to be a special gift to celebrate a significant birthday.
Guerlain's lipstick compact has a clever James Bond-gadget-like design. I commented on this to the salesgirl when I purchased it, and she revealed that Guerlain insiders cheekily refer to it as A Weapon of Mass Seduction.
Whether she longs for Paris or itches to be a Bond girl, Guerlain's lipstick is perfect. This gift is also great for Mothers, Grandmothers, Daughters, Sisters, Girlfriends, Graduation Gifts too...just be sure not to mention the saucy reference!
The lipstick comes in a variety of colors. When she finishes off the tube, she can purchase another at the counter (the lipstick portion is replaceable) while keeping the engraved portion of the compact.
Spice It Up:
The lipstick compact is a neat gift, but make it exceptional by engraving it with her name or initials!
Occasionally, Saks Fifth Avenue & Neiman Marcus will have an engraving event at the Guerlain counter to personalize the compact. If it is not available when you purchase, just walk it down the mall to Things Remembered for quick same-day engraving. Depending on the number of letters in the name or initials, the engraving will run approximately $12.00.
Careful when you engrave: once it is engraved you cannot switch out the color before it is gifted as there is a color indicator number on the bottom of the compact. The only way to change it is to buy another lipstick.
Sarah Shane-Kellum (contact her directly at: Email for Sarah) can help you with your order, and will even loan you their sample tube with the engraving to show Things Remembered exactly how you want it to appear.
