L'Oreal Color Riche Lipstick Review

Firstly I really like the packaging. It's gold, it's square-ish, it's sleek and looks quite expensive. One thing that is slightly annoying is the lid - it will only close in one position, and sometimes that takes a while.

The scent is also controversial - I quite like the scent, it reminds me of my mum's expensive lipsticks, but my friend absolutely cannot tolerate it.

In terms of colour, I have mine in 250 Make me Blush. They have a gorgeous range of colours, but the lipsticks are definitely not long wearing. They are very silky and have a sheen-like finish and easily transfer. The formula feels hydrating and moisturising - but I find that with long time wear, they tend to sink into the cracks in my lips. They are also quite pigmented, but definitely do not last long and smear really easily, but they do apply really easily.

Great as an everyday lipstick.

I have two colors of this lipstick, Rose Perle & Toffee and Chocolate. Rose Perle is a bright pink shade with a golden shimmer i it. The shimmer particles are extremely fine and they provide a beautiful sheen to the pink color when applied on lips. The Toffee and Chocolate is more of of a Chocolate nude color and I find it perfect for everyday wear. It also has golden shimmer particles in it. The formula in these lipsticks is creme formula. The lipsticks glide very smoothly on lips and just one swipe is enough. It does not bleed or settle into fine lines. The packaging is classy, simple and sweet. They are not very long lasting and you need to re apply after couple of hours but I do that with my other lipsticks as well, so its not a problem. Overall, a very reasonably priced lipstick!

I was clearly feeling the nudes on my last spend up in the beauty section at Postie plus! I am very fair, so steer clear of lippies marked as nude as a general rule as they are often quite brown which totally washes me out. When I saw that these were 8-10$ however I hunted down swatches online, liked what I saw, so gave it a gamble! Doutzen's Nude is a Collection Privee lipstick, and is beautifully packaged in a matte black tube with gold lettering and opening. Inside the tube it looks similar in colour to 1995 by Gerard cosmetics- sort of a Kylie Jenner nude. Once swatched however it is a muted brownish peach. It has a reasonably pleasant if not slightly too strong scent and is very creamy to apply. It has a subtle sheen, and is a very flattering shade on my fair skin tone- it warms it up, while still giving quite a natural my lips but better shade. The longevity was not huge on me, as is to be expected with such a creamy formula. This has become my go-to shade- very much my lips but better! Fairest nude comes in the standard gold tube, as pictured above. It has the same scent as the collection privee. The colour is definitely more of a brownish pink, so suitable again for fair skinned (particularly more cool toned) girls such as myself. The only issue I had with this shade is that it basically matches my lips perfectly- so I may as well just apply a lip balm! Would probably suit those fairer than me, or perhaps be better on days when I am looking a little more washed out, when the pigmentation of this lippie may be a little more obvious. The longevity was the same as the collection privee (am assuming the formulas are the same, and only the packaging and shades vary). Will certainly purchase more shades of this as and when it pops up on special as I love the creaminess of this lippie.

L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipsticks, I am lucky enough to have a few of these in multiple different shades and they are a great lipstick, I wasn't overly excited about tying them to be honest as I have tried others and was not a big fan.

The packaging is nothing to get excited over we all know the goldy type colour that it comes in with the sticker on the bottom saying the shade and the shade number which I love as I can keep my lipsticks up side down in my lipstick holder and it makes choosing my shade for the day easy, i have always loved how L'Oreal has that clip thing I don't know what it is but I have just always really liked that.

Such good pigment in a huge variety in colours, they have hit it on the head with the amazing range and great pigments in this range and around $20 is not alot to spend on a good lipstick so that is a great bonus, the a nice moistursing, kind of silky, velvety texture, so I know my lips underneath are not getting dry, but then they don't really set either so I found they did come off while a ate and had drinks, if greeting someone with a kiss they had lipstick on their cheek so it is a product that you have to take with you so that you can reapply, and you have to reapply quite a few times a day which really sucks but thats the luck of the draw with some lipsticks.

I would though buy again as the colour range is incredible and have tones to suite everyone, I would recommend people buy it, as its not too costly.

A sleek pacakging rose gold casing that clips closed with the shade at the bottom of the lipstick.

The lipstick is very nice & appealing. It glies onto my lips effortlessly with nice colour payoff. Very creamy & doesn't flake when dried. Sitting on the lips attractively. I have 3 different shades. One in perticular has golden fleeks thru the lipstick itself but isn't apparent upon application :) A nice clutch day to day lipstick that doesn't have the greatest stay power but in all has a lovely effect for your lips without being tacky or drying on the lips.

I actually have 3 shades of the Color Riche High Shine Lipsticks. I really enjoy these. The packaging is gorgeous and I love wearing them over an all over lip liner. They don't smell great but that doesn't really bother me. They have some great shades so anyone could find one they're after. I do however think they are overpriced

I have two shades in this series, Rose Agate, which is a pink/nude sparkly colour, and Burning Sunset, which is sparkly but much more red. I have found these lipsticks smooth to apply and the colour is beautiful, but they don't seem to last too long and need reapplying a few times a day to re-enhance the original shine! The base pigment does seem to hold though, so I found after using the sunset one that my lips were still much redder than normal, just not shiny after a few hours. The rose agate is my go to lippy of the moment though as I love the natural colour and sparkles!

I love this lipstick. The colour lasts so long and it surprisingly hard to smudge, even when eating and drinking so good. It does need to be applied after a lip liner because it does bleed a bit.

I do find it dries out my lips a bit but I just apply a clear lip balm throughout the day to keep them moisterised.

I have two of these, in A nice peachy coral shade and a shimmery baby pink. The color and pigmentation is great with these, very opaque and do not need many swipes. They both feel quite smooth to apply, although they don't glide onto my lips, they're reasonably buttery feeling. The pink one has lovely shimmers that reflect the light and looks quite pearly. The coral one looks really young and perfect for summer. The problem with these are that they settle in the wrinkles of my lips and make my lips look kind of 'wrinkly'. Also, they do not like to stay put for very long.

These lipsticks are lovely and come in plenty of great nude shades so are perfect for me. the texture is soft, thick and creamy and are not at all drying on the lips. the staying power is reasonable for such a creamy formula. and the packaging is sturdy and classic. all in all a great lipstick.
