L'Oreal Color Riche Lipstick Review

Saw this beautiful lipstick as farmers for $30 and was immediately attracted to the shade “110 made in Paris ”. Unfortunately, its an extremely average lipstick. As promised, it does deliver very pigmented colour, and a beautiful lustrous finish. Unfortunately, it didn’t last very long for me, less than an hour. If you planning on eating or drinking anything, don’t bother using this lipstick. You could honestly find cheaper lipsticks with similar finishes and much better longevity. This isn’t a cheap lipstick, so it’s performance was disappointing.

Decent range, good pigment, goes on smooth. I found it quite drying. I found that they could last better and the reds bleed a bit even with the liner but for the price they are a good product

I used to be obsessed with fuchsia coloured lipsticks when I bought this. It really was intense like it says it is but I couldn't get past how much it dried up my lips! I would end up licking my lips to keep them hydrated. The colour really stuck to my lip and wouldn't even come off with the best makeup remover wipes I had because it was so dry. It was like baked on. The amazing colour wasn't worth dry lips, i guess I could put lip balm or lip gloss on top but I really shouldn't have to. I wouldn't and haven't recommended this to anyone.

I love the soft and creamy texture of this lipstick. It makes it really smooth to apply, and often i can quickly apply it straight from the bullet to my lips running out the door in the morning. This lipstick is really moisturising too. It serves as a great purpose of hydrating your lips. I often apply this when I have dry lips and they soon become soft and hydrated.

The colour I have is soft beige which is a nice neutral beige tone. I have light-medium skin tone with yellow undertones and find this shade a tad too brown for me. It would probably suit someone with a darker skin tone.

The finish is dewy with a sort of satiny shiny look so it doesn't really set. It also doesn't last very long on your lips, mine usually only lasts 1-2 hours because I drink all throughout the day. I do kick the finish but I have to constantly re-apply it. You definitely need a lip liner underneath to make the colour last longer in your lips.

Overall I probably would not purchase this again as the colour didn't really suit my skin tone and I want something that lasts longer on my lips.

Great colour pigment. Very good creamy texture, easy to wear and long lasting. One of my go too lippys, the packaging it self is worth pulling it out. Has a slight shimmer to it, but not to much which is always good in my books.

I picked this up on a whim to trial a purple lippy. I wasn't able to swatch it instore (Postie Plus) but it was so cheap I bought it anyway - $8 I think.

I have one of the 'Project Runway' series of L'Oreal Color Riche Lipsticks, in shade 486: The Mystic's Kiss. This looks purple, but is more of a dark berry with a hint of purple. It's really pretty but not what I thought I was getting.

This variant comes in a black tube, with silver detailing (The ''Project Runway' logo, which is a bit gimmicky but you expect that with a themed colour I guess) and interior casing/external band. The casing is a squared off tube, flattened at the bottom (where the shade is displayed on a label that is decidedly more purple than the lippy) and angled off at the top - it's quite an attractive wee package, logo aside.

When you wind the bullet up it has a gorgeous sheen, and the typical angled tip - but squared off at the very top, which is a neat wee feature as it stops it wearing thin at the top over it's lifetime.

The bullet is etched with the L'Oreal logo, which looks classy - and drives home the brand name successfully!

The formula is reasonably creamy, and feels nice and smooth. It doesn't hydrate my lips, but does feel nice on. Over a few hours it does dry them a little, so it's better with a balm underneath.

Although the label, and the bullet itself, are a very deep purple, the actual result on lips is more of a dark, pretty, sheer berry shade. You can build it a little. but the colour payoff/impact is not terribly intense. So saying it is a pretty, flattering shade that is great for day/work - and has the added benefit of making teeth look a little whiter.

The scent is vaguely berry, and is okay, but the taste is kind of waxy and not that pleasant if you accidentally lick your lips - but at least that stops you from doing so.

It does transfer, but enough stays on my lips for a pretty sheer berry colour, so that isn't a huge issue.

In short, I'm wearing it, and liking it, but probably wouldn't go back and buy more as there are better lipsticks in this (and cheaper) price ranges for my personal preferences.

I have a runway project edition, 486 The Mystics Kiss. I really like this colour, its not something I usually go for but I enjoy wearing this one. It is smooth and glides on and it doesn't feel to heavy on your lips. The colour is a nice berry looking purple. The colour will last a couple of hours before having to apply more. I found it did dry my lips out a bit so I apply a bit of balm underneath first. I would recommend this product if your looking for a colour out of your comfort zone at a reasonable priced lipstick

L'Oreal lipsticks aren't my favourite. The packaging is a bit old-fashioned and I hate the old-lady's handbag smell.

Searching through postie I found these on sale for $6, yip 6 whole dollars. I love a bargain so I brought 2 one is in the colour 108 gilded pink and the other 286 the queens kiss.

286 the queens kiss comes in a black casing with "project runway" stamped on it with silver writing, I never watched the TV program but I prefer this casing over the standard gold. The gold casing looks pretty from a distance until you pick it up and realise it's plastic.

Gilded pink is quite a sheer pink-brown so I need to 3 swipes for a good amount of coverage. it does have shimmer through it and you can feel it against your lips not something I really like. It also only sadly lasted 2 hours before it was completely gone without a trace.

The queens kiss is rose pink and I love it, it only requires 2 swipes and the colour is beautiful it does have a slight shimmer but I can't feel this on my lips, it's very creamy and feels lovely on my lips. It too only lasts around 2 hours but leaves a slight pink stain around my lips.

I think I want to purchase more of these just to see if the darker colours are better. I do like the queens kiss and prefer it over gilded pink so I'm not giving up on colour Riche just yet.

I have two of these lipsticks and they are pretty great. They come in a classy gold looking tube with the colour number on the top and a colour swatch and name and number on the bottom.

I do have a real crush on the way they smell, which I am at a loss as to how to describe, but they are really yummy.

The consistency of the lippys is rich and creamy and they glide on so easily, a coiple of swipes and you have gorgeous coloured lips.

I find they will last around a couple of hours, which I am completely happy with. I dont find that they dry my lips out, so they look and feel luscious.
