I don’t know what it is, but it wasn’t until I got into blogging that I started to get more and more exposed to Canadian makeup. And, having been born and raised in this country, it feels really weird to say that. Considering I can tell you a lot about brands that are available only in the UK, or only in the USA, it’s definitely strange that I can’t talk more in depth about some of my own homegrown brands. Maybe it’s because those seem foreign to me, and therefore more interesting?
So since I’ve not tried a heck of a lot of Canadian cosmetics, I feel like I’m constantly having my eyes opened to what’s available to me in my own backyard! I’m not going to beat around the bush with this review – Lise Watier has totally stunned me with how good these lipsticks are, so I want to take this time to tell you why I love them so much!
The Rouge Intense Suprême lipsticks are touted as having rich, intense colour in one swipe (totally accurate), incredible hold (ALSO accurate) and are hydrating and nourishing (yes, and yes!). Never before have I see a brand claim something so accurately in their product description and actually hold true on all claims!
These lipsticks come housed in reflective gunmetal case with a magnetic cap. No snapping into place here, these lipstick click into place and stay put once the magnet gets a hold of the other side!
And these buggers are PIGMENTED AF. They glide on like a dream – creamy and moisturizing – with barely any pressure on your lips. They stay somewhat glossy, kind of like a thick cream, but settle down a bit over time.
I’ve mentioned before, but I’m not a huge fan of wearing lipstick – in practice I find it a bit of a hassle: I’m constantly worried about it getting on my teeth, bleeding outside of my lip line, or basically just smearing everywhere. While there’s no tacky quality to the Rouge Intense Suprême lipsticks that I usually associate with a good stay-in-place lipstick, these actually stay hydrating but firmly in place on your lips. Every time I checked my teeth in the mirror at my desk at work, the lipstick hadn’t freaking budged from random movement (such as drinking out of a straw, or talking to people). Keep in mind though, although these stay in place, they are not transfer-proof.
Also worth mentioning is that they have a very light fruity scent in the tube, but there is no discernible taste on my lips.
Lise Watier Rouge Intense Suprême Lipsticks – Face Swatches
Arielle is verging on too pale of a pink for my own tastes, but I can see how a lot of others would find this a very easy and comfortable colour to wear. It’s the kind of colour that will match practically every eye look.
For me, Olivia is the kind of shade I’ll wear as an everyday shade when I don’t know what to grab for. It’s a beautiful deeper rose-pink.
AND HOLY FREAKING GOD – THIS ONE IS EVERYTHING! Jasmine is everything I ever needed in a lipstick colour! I found myself in constant awe of this colour when I put it on.
Final Thoughts
I have zero negatives to say about the Lise Watier Rouge Intense Suprême lipsticks. They are intensely pigmented and yet stay put. They are hands down one of the most comfortable lipsticks I have ever put on my lips! (They’re in the same vein as the Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks which are some of my all time favourites.) At no point did my lips feel uncomfortable while wearing product (a common problem for me with lipsticks) and I actually feel like they moisturized my lips as well since I had no desire to apply balm after I removed them. In short – these are incredible!
The Lise Watier Rouge Intense Suprême lipsticks can be purchased on beautyboutique.ca for $27 CAD each (and there are plenty of other shades as well!).
This products featured in this post were sent to me for consideration.
I swatched a couple of this at work and the formula seems so smooth and pigmented!

Seriously incredible. I couldn’t believe how comfortable! Do you happen to know what the difference is between these and the new Fondant lipsticks?
I have not seen the new Fondant lipsticks, only these Intense Supreme but then again, living on the Island means we’re always a little behind on everything. Haha

I seriously can’t think of a negative. Like… maybe they need more shades? But they’ve already got like 20 shades. Product itself is BOMB!
wow!!! all three of these look amazing on you! I am in the same boat re: not being super familiar with Canadian brands, I am adding Olivia to my list of wants!

They’re sooo damn lovely. I swear I always skip over Canadian brands because the packaging isn’t usually that exciting. So shallow! hah
You’re so right about Canadian brands being so low-key! I try to recommend Lise Watier whenever I can to, but the stores here always make their displays look like crap.
Anyways, surprisingly Arielle is my fave on you, but I think it’s because it matches your makeup so well!

Oh god, that’s sad to hear about their displays. I don’t think I’ve ever really noticed them in a Beauty Boutique before, although I swear I’m aware that they’re there!
I am in love with these…I bought 4. Olivia Jasmine Suzan and Caroline. Thanks for your review!
They’re so good!
