Guinot The name alone sounds sophisticated. Can January 8, 2014 ann somma Guinot The name alone sounds sophisticated. Can you guess it’s origin? If you said France, Français, French or Paris then ding ding ding you are correct. This line was founded over forty years ago by French chemist René Guinot - and the formulas are as sophisticated as the name. Guinot is seen mostly in upscale/fancy pants spas, but there is nothing stopping us from taking these treatment worthy products home. My most recent try was the Longue Vie Lèvres Lip Cream. Think of it as a conditioner for your lips. It pumps out of its small french container like a serum, but it has a liquidy-creamy texture. The outcome is très magnifique –> 1. Hydrates like a balm2. Gives lips an extra pump of volume3. Provides long lasting lip stick hold Hopefully next time I have Guinot on my face, I will be in a Parisian spa..
