The Hermès beauty products are phenomenal — I give the lipsticks and nail polishes as hostess gifts. So, I’m eager to try the Plein Air Natural Enhancing Complexion Balms and picked up a few samples in different shades yesterday. Any reviews?

After 20 years casting models for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and fashion shows, I wanted to spend more time with my daughters. KiC is my way to share my thoughts on fashion and style. I believe style should permeate every aspect of our lives — from home, to family, to where we go, and naturally, what we wear — especially when we're just running around.

I ended up buying the complexion balm, it is hard to get the right color from the online swatches. I would recommend to try it in person. the balm is lovely and I love that it has mineral spf but I end up using other products more (like the CHANEL CC to the La Mer tinted moisturizer with spf) overall it’s a nice product but try it before you buy it.
Anxious to try it too as I’m really enjoying my lipstick, nail polish and powder blush.
Preston, You will fall in love with these balms! The scent is divine, the coverage is sheer and dewy. I ordered Ficelle from Selfridges (and wondered why they weren’t yet available in the American market?). The color is perfect for anyone with a fair to medium complexion with pink undertones. It adds depth to your complexion and again, the smell is wonderful. You’ll soon have a new staple in your makeup bag! By far, my favorite product.
i was so excited to try too BUT have discovered Gucci Westman Atelier’s Complexion Drops are far superior in every way!! You’ve got to try – they’re fabulous.
Full disclosure – I have never tried or worn an Hermes beauty product. When the lipsticks came on the scene, I was skeptical they could really be that exceptional as to command a price tag of $72. For years I stuck to Chanel for their colors, now priced at $42-55. My favorite lipstick in my kit is a YSL, in a gorgeous refillable case, for $38-39. My daughter who is a modest consumer, splurges for Dior lipsticks and the colors are truly exceptional on her ($42). I simply find it annoying that Hermes insists on being the most expensive price point for all products throughout their brand. For me, it continues to feel like a heist.
Hermes lipsticks and powder compact cases are a work of art. And the brushes take them to the next level.
A gorgeous addition to bathroom, purse or vanity. I love the brushed gold detailing to compliment the white and black cases.
A one time purchase as all are refillable!!
YSL lipsticks and Bobbie Brown new face balm line is the best.
No matter how hard they try and how beautiful packages are, for me personally, Hermes will remain silk carre and leather goods manufacturer. I don’t use lipstick but I am addicted to organic lip & cheek balm for daily use and Sisley lip balm when a bit of gloss needed.
