I thought I would review the two of them together as they are similar in terms of wearability.
Intense lipglosses are the kind of glosses which offer full coverage similar to lipsticks, but the shine of the glossiest of glosses. Great combination isn't it? If you add non-stickiness, long-lasting power, moisturising effect, creaminess, vibrant colours and a hundred more assets we will get close to absolute perfection. I say close cause there's one thing which would definitely need mending, namely the applicator. The gloss is sold in a plastic squeeze tube with a slanted plastic applicator, which prevents even and precise application successfully. Lancome Juicy Tubes have a similar applicator ( I never warmed to that product for exactly the same reason), but they are far shearer and any imperfections are not as visible as in the case of highly pigmented, opaque firery red. So, if it wasn't for the applicator, I'd buy every single one of them (except the black and yellow and green etc. of course).
I'm gonna describe these two separately only in terms of colour. I hope the pictures are quite accurate in that respect.
Succubus:
Described as blood red and it is blood red indeed. Very wearable though. And I won't deny I love the name! Clever marketers, you've caught me in the net!

Femme:
Described as bright coral pink, I would say more pink than coral. I would call this raspberry sorbet or milky raspberry. I don't normally wear pinks and I'm surprised at how much I like the colour and how optimistic it makes me feel.
