This week, beauty writer Eden Stuart is testing the buzzy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guerlain.com\/us\/en-us\/p\/kisskiss-honey-infused-intense-lipstick-P062263.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Guerlain KissKiss Honey-Infused Intense Lipstick<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>After several years dominated by glosses, balms, and glossy balms, lipstick \u2014 proper, pigmented, old-school lipstick \u2014 seems to be poised for a major comeback. And I, for one, am thrilled; I\u2019ve always had a soft spot for bold pigment and a long-lasting pop of color. Even as a traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/beauty\/milan-fashion-week-fall-winter-2026-street-style-vampy-lips\">lipstick<\/a> fan, however, I do understand why it has its detractors: The comfortable formulas are seldom long-wearing, the long-wearing formulas are rarely comfortable, and, if a product somehow miraculously hits on both, it\u2019s likely low on the pigment. So, when word of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/beauty\/guerlain-shalimar-fragrance\">Guerlain<\/a>\u2019s KissKiss Honey-Infused Intense Lipsticks hit my inbox, my interest was piqued.<\/p>\n<p>The Kiss Kiss Honey-Infused Intense Lipsticks are the newest member of the brand\u2019s KissKiss family, joining the Bee Glow Hydrating Tinted Lip Balm, Bee Glow Hydrating Tinted Lip Oil, and Beautifying Lip Care Primer. And as you might have guessed, these lipsticks are all about marrying hydration and comfort with saturated color and long wear time \u2014 a tall order, to be sure.<\/p>\n<p>To test the claims, I wore two of the whopping 20 shades during a day filled with coffee, hors d\u2019oeurves, and, eventually, water (but sadly, no kissing). Read on to find out how they performed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR T46\">\n<div>\n<div><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.guerlain.com\/us\/en-us\/p\/kisskiss-honey-infused-intense-lipstick-P062263.html\" data-skimlink=\"true\" class=\"Rcu\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"ooy\">\n<div class=\"pxF wxt GZd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Guerlain KissKiss Honey-Infused Lipstick\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/5\/8\/f7011da2\/kisskiss-blur-matte-2026.png?w=330&amp;h=330&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z mdu F6g\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"Mup\">\n<div class=\"O8F\">Guerlain<\/div>\n<div class=\"yiq\">KissKiss Honey-Infused Intense Lipstick<\/div>\n<div class=\"o75\"><span>$50<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"OiB\">\n<div class=\"RSA\">The long-wear lipstick is infused with honey to keep lips soft and smooth. <\/div>\n<p><button class=\"yMn\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"lXj\">See On Guerlain<\/div>\n<div class=\"jMM\"><\/div>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> $50<\/li>\n<li><strong>Size:<\/strong> 1.85g<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean\/Cruelty-Free: <\/strong>No<\/li>\n<li><strong>Best For:<\/strong> Comfortable, long-wearing color<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ingredient Highlights: <\/strong>Honey, beeswax, royal jelly, propolis<\/li>\n<li><strong>What We Like:<\/strong> Excellent shade selection; long wear time; comfortable, lightweight feel<\/li>\n<li><strong>What We Don\u2019t Like: <\/strong>Nothing so far!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rating:<\/strong> 5\/5<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote class=\"tDr\"><p><strong>How TZR Keeps Score: <\/strong>1\/5: Making a return; 2\/5: Keeping as a backup; 3\/5: Finishing to the last drop; 4\/5: Recommending to my group texts; 5\/5: Already on auto-replenish.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>The Formula<\/h2>\n<p>The key ingredient in the KissKiss Honey-Infused Intense Lipsticks is \u2014 you guessed it \u2014 honey, which, according to the brand, provides 24-hour hydration. It\u2019s supported in the formula by beeswax (to provide a comfortable, glide-right-on application); royal jelly, which is supposed to stimulate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/p\/what-is-hyaluronic-acid-why-does-your-skin-need-it-22662143\">hyaluronic acid<\/a> production and, by extension, provide a little subtle plumping; and propolis extract for smoothing.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the honey, the all-star ingredients in this formula are two polymers: One that helps the pigment adhere to the lips and another that improves hold. Together, they work to create a formula that feels like nothing but looks like <em>everything<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>My Experience &amp; Results<\/h2>\n<p>While I didn\u2019t put them to the test for 24 hours \u2014 alas, my \u201cup until the wee hours of the morn\u201d days are long behind me \u2014 I did give it a solid ten: Specifically, from noon to around 10 pm. For the first half of the day, I wore shade #196 Daisy Rose with a brown lip liner. It did feel a tad dry when I first applied it, but it\u2019s crucial to note that I 1. am perpetually dehydrated, and 2. have dry lips even when, by some miracle, I have had enough water for the day.<\/p>\n<p>But even with these factors, it took mere moments for the lipstick to start feeling super comfortable, to the point where I really didn\u2019t feel it at all. But just because I couldn\u2019t feel it, didn\u2019t mean it wasn\u2019t there. As I sipped a strong iced coffee, nibbled on a Babybel cheese and some fruit, and, eventually, actually drank some H2O, the lipstick stayed firmly put. And my lips never felt dry, either \u2014 if anything, as the hours passed, they actually felt softer and more hydrated.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR\">\n<div class=\"DbX\">\n<div class=\"uES fEt\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"B1N\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qmt pm7\">\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"Rfb XJ-\"><video autoplay loop muted playsinline class=\"nIy kOK\"><\/video><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\"><cite class=\"AA0\">Eden Stuart<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"Rfb XJ-\"><video autoplay loop muted playsinline class=\"nIy kOK\"><\/video><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\"><cite class=\"AA0\">Eden Stuart<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yOD GLK\">\n<div class=\"ki0 kpP\">\n<div class=\"MNV\"><\/div>\n<p><label for=\"lightboxCheckbox-466241967\" class=\"QNb y8V St5\"><button aria-label=\"open lightbox\" class=\"kMc\"><\/button><\/label><\/div>\n<div class=\"C1C\">\n<div class=\"ZXG\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"LOc\"><\/div>\n<p><button class=\"ikQ Xfx\"><span class=\"Od1\">INFO<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"olh\">1\/2<\/div>\n<div class=\"xCo\"><button class=\"ikQ VkL\"><\/button><button class=\"ikQ Olc\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I decided to switch out my colors \u2014 and go lip-liner-free \u2014 for the second half of the day, which involved going to a cocktail party filled with delicious, lipstick-testing passed apps. I wore shade #395, Bold Fuchsia, and ate pretty much every popcorn chicken, tiny spring roll, and bite-sized grilled cheese that came my way (and enjoyed the odd mixed drink, too). By the end of the night, I still had on a pretty stain of color without any bleeding \u2014 without a single touch-up. <\/p>\n<p>A couple more \u201codds and ends\u201d notes: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I love the slim, refillable packaging, which manages to feel luxurious despite how lightweight it is. <\/li>\n<li>I did have to use a cleansing balm to switch shades\/remove the lipstick at the end of the night. This is totally fine for me, a devoted double cleanser, but it\u2019s worth keeping in mind if you typically wear lighter makeup and just use one cleanser.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Are The Guerlain KissKiss Honey-Infused Intense Lipsticks Worth It?<\/h2>\n<p>Long-lasting pigment, a lightweight feel on the lips, an extensive range of colors, and pretty packaging? I\u2019m sold. Guerlain\u2019s KissKiss Lipsticks might be a bit of an investment at $50, but as far as I\u2019m concerned, they\u2019re a very worthy one. They\u2019ve certainly earned a spot in my permanent rotation.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"fX2 rhF jIS\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"lqj TnP\">\n<div class=\"BMP\">\n<div>(Stay Up To Date)<\/div>\n<div class=\"nnm\">Become A Style Insider<\/div>\n<div class=\"P8h\">Join The Zoe Report\u2019s exclusive email list for the latest trends, shopping guides, celebrity style, and more.<\/div>\n<div><button type=\"submit\" class=\"Ex8 qgj\">Submit<\/button><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"g-0\">By subscribing to this BDG newsletter, you agree to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdg.com\/info\/terms-of-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Terms of Service<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdg.com\/info\/privacy-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Privacy Policy<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/newsletter\">Subscribe to our newsletter &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.page-466239552{&#8211;slot4:#bb2114;&#8211;slot7:#bb2114;&#8211;slot11:#bb2114;&#8211;slot13:#bb2114;&#8211;slot14:#bb2114;&#8211;metaColor:#bb2114;&#8211;navColor:#bb2114} (Trial Run) Guerlain\u2019s KissKiss Honey-Infused Lipsticks Strike The Perfect Balance Between Comfort &amp; Color With fabulous wear time at that. by Eden Stuart 2 hours ago Eden Stuart Trial Run We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article.
