L'Oreal Paris Rouge Signature Ink Reviews

Received the colour "Rule" 105. Colour is a purpley pink.

It’s non drying and doesn't flake once dry like some others. Takes a few minutes to completely dry once applied though.The shape of the applicator is great. Allows for an even spread and reaches all corners without effort and I love the smell of the product. Know I'm not supposed to taste it but doesn't taste bad either....licked my lips before it was completely dry. It does give a matte finish, which is what its supposed to do and light on your lips. I have rated the product without rating the shade as requested, BUT.......

Here's the negative and instructions said not to rate the colour of the product but I have to mention this. Though I normally wear earthy tones, I did like this purple lipstick once applied. As the product wore off it became a bright pink colour on my lips, so required reapplying during the course of the day. After work I tried to remove it... now people, pink is not my colour......my lips were a bright shade of pink and it does not come off no matter what I tried, could still see a hint of pink when I got up the next day.

Overall not bad but I sincerely hope the other shades available in this range doesn't have the same problem. At this stage I am not sure if I will buy this product again.

I was really excited to receive this L'Oreal Paris Rouge Signature Ink in shade 113 - I Don't. And then I opened it and tried it....

The formula is very different to what I was used to. L'Oreal even harps on about it's "unique oil in water" formula which is supposed to make it lightweight, and the "ultimate bare-lip sensation". But really, I just found the formula too watery. It took a fair few swipes to get any colour build-up and then it took a while to dry (too long for me with young children clambering around my knees). It took a good 10 minutes (I timed it!) for me to be able to kiss anything without the colour transferring.

Once it was dry, it was lightweight, I'll give it that. But my lips did get a bit dry and the product didn't last a long time. In fact, it gradually faded throughout the day into a more pink (which is weird given how pillbox red it was). So it needed reapplying a couple of times throughout the day just to keep the colour. It didn't bleed though so that's a bonus.

Then....at the end of the day, removing the product was HARD. In fact, I still had pink lips the next day. My husband came home after I'd removed it and asked if I had lipstick on. That's how much was left.

I also didn't rate the applicator. While in theory it should work well, the angle was weird for me (was it cause of me being left handed?) and I just couldn't nail it properly.

All in all, a disappointing product that I won't bother trying or buying again.

I'm trialing this product in the shade 'I Lead' for Beauty Review. Based on the packaging, I was expecting this to be a maroon-ish shade, however once applied on the lips this became a muted red shade which was very wearable. The oil-in-water formula really feels different from other lipstains or lipglosses- this is very light and comfortable, like applying water on your lips. Once applied, the colour sets pretty fast into a soft matte finish. I barely felt like I had any product on my lips (which meant I forgot to check my lips and reapply...) After 2-3 hours of eating and drinking, the colour had worn off, leaving me with the dreaded ring of colour that I tend to get with bright lipsticks. However, because the product had left a stain of colour, it didn't look too bad. I'm very pleased with this product, this is a liquid soft-matte lipstick that feels uber-light and comfortable. I don't think it's long-wear but should get you through until lunch if you don't eat or drink.

L'Oreal Paris Rouge Signature Ink in 'I Explore' is a deep pinkish-brown nude colour.

I've never used an ink lipstick before, and I was really surprised by how lightweight, smooth and lovely this felt upon application.  I immediately thought to myself, "I want to replace all my lipsticks with these, in every single colour!" ... but that was until two hours later when I discovered that the colour had completely faded and worn off, without me having had anything to eat or drink in between then and the time I applied the lipstick.

L'Oreal promises "A collection of ultra-matte lip inks that combine unapologetically bold colour with a super-lightweight finish, for the ultimate bare-lip sensation. Say goodbye to compromise; long-lasting no longer means a thick, heavy and uncomfortable matte finish. The oil-in-water formula lets lips breathe, leaving a memorable mark but a forgettable feel for the ultimate all-day comfort. Every swipe will provide an instant pure colour statement that lasts with a soft-matte finish."

Yes, I loved the lightweight feel and the soft matte finish that didn't dry my lips out, and it has a nice smell too, but this product is not long-lasting.  It requires frequent touch ups (almost every 2 hours) even if you're not eating or drinking, it smudges and transfers onto mugs and glasses (if you are drinking), and it doesn't leave any colour on the lips.  This may be different with a brighter or darker colour, but this nude colour had absolutely no staying power.

I thought that maybe I had applied too much after the first attempt, so the next time I experimented with a single swipe.  Then with just a swipe on the bottom lip before rubbing my lips together.  No matter what I tried, I just couldn't get this lip ink to stay on without fading away.

Sadly, I'm really disappointed.  After the lovely experience of first application and how smoothly it went on, how lightweight it felt, and how wonderful it looked, it just didn't last.  I don't think I'll be purchasing these in every single colour, like I initially thought I would.

I was super lucky to be able to be part of this amazing trial, thanks BR! I got the shade 105 I Rule, which is a lovely pinky, mauve colour. It comes in a frosted plastic tube with an angled doe foot applicator.

I am not a huge lipstick wearer as my lips are so thin and most lipsticks just wear away on me super fast. I really like the applicator on this, I was able to get precise lines and not end up looking like a clown. The formula is quite wet, but I like this as it give me a great coverage.

It dries down matte after a few minutes. It feels really comfortable and lightweight on my lips. I make sure I prep my lips well beforehand though, I always use a lip scrub then swipe on a little lip balm. This lipstick never looks dry at all.

I get very little transfer. It does a great job at staying put. I also don't end up with lippie all over my front teeth which is a pet peeve of mine. It also doesn't look horrible after eating or drinking. However when it does wear off it leaves a bright pink stain lol it's not bad but I'm not fond of bright pink on me personally. The stain is there until you remove it.

It is a lovely lipstick and I would definitely like to try out more colours in the range. I'm keen to see if others had the same issue of the bright pink stain though.

I have this LÓreal Paris Rouge Signature Ink liquid lipstick in the 'I don't' shade. Oh but I do, I do!

The product itself comes in a see-through bottle with a black lid. The doe foot applicator was a bit of a surprise when I first saw it due to it being on a fair bit of an angle, but it's actually really easy to use and possibly provides you with more control when applying liquid lipstick.

The 'I don't' shade that I have is a bit hard to describe, but it's a vibrant, brilliant shade of red. I usually don't choose red shades as I sometimes find they look a bit gaudy or garish on me. But not this one! It's a bright red rather than a dark red and it has a slight pinkish hue to it going on in the background too, I think. So it's a red with attitude, but it's a good attitude! I just love this shade, it's so bold AND yet so beautiful. I'm now itching to try this product in other shades as well, because if the quality of this shade is anything to go by, I'm sure there'll be some other amazing colours in the range.

In addition to the beautiful colour, the oil-in-water formula is another outstanding feature of this product. It's velvety smooth to apply, with no flaking or smudging, and it has a matte finish. It also has an incredible feel to it once applied in that you don't feel like you're wearing lipstick at all! It's so lightweight! It's probably the thinnest, best liquid lipstick formula I've ever tried, but thankfully that's not at the expense of coverage or boldness of colour. You may not feel or even remember that you have any lipstick on, but the rest of the world will notice! It's also long-lasting, so won't wear off easily, which is good when you're at work all day and don't have the time (or inclination!) to check the mirror. You can rest assured this lipstick will last the distance.

LÓreal have excelled themselves again with this bold, vibrant yet breathable and lightweight lipstick. I'd recommend their Rouge Signature Ink to anybody wishing to make a statement with their lips. Five kisses.

This was a surprise find for me, I loved how lightweight this felt on my lips. The colour range is really good too, I found some were a dupe for the Stila range. In terms of longevity, it won't last after a meal and I did find my lips were quite dry by the end of the day. However this isn't any different to other matte lip products. The tear drop shaped applicator is amazing, more products should have this because it made application a breeze!

Most of my experiences with liquid lipsticks have been sad, dry, cakey affairs so the Signature Ink in came as a real surprise. Glides on beautifully and dried quickly to a velvety soft finish that isn't quite 'like you're not even wearing lipstick', but comes pretty close.

I was worried about ease of application with such a runny liquid - I was expecting a lot of feathering at the edges of the lips and difficulty applying it tidily, but it glides on easily and the pointed applicator paddle is super easy to work with.

The packaging was lovely, too - a very elegant tube that looks quite classy.

The colour ('I Don't' - a bright red) was very bold and bright, though did stain my lips intensely - even overnight. On the bright side, at least it wasn't as noticeable when it was wearing off. And wear off it did - overall the staying power is decent, I get a solid couple of hours out of it without any deterioration if I'm not drinking or eating, but it does transfer quite easily if your lips are coming into contact with anything.

I tried it with and without lip liner and didn't find any difference in ease of application, or how long it lasted.

Overall, I really do love this lipstick even if it doesn't quite stack up to the implied 'all day' longevity - I'll continue to use it for sure.

I am currently trialling one of the L'Oréal Paris Rouge Signature liquid lip inks from the Rouge Signature range by L'Oréal Paris. This lip ink is the shade No.113 called I DON'T. It has an appealing appearance. It looks like most other lipsticks or lipglosses with an applicator. When you look at it, you can see the bright red lipstick through the smokey see through, glass-like part of the lip ink. It has a lid with applicator that twists off easy.

I tried this on my lips to add a pop of bold colour to my pout. I tried to apply a thin layer as best I could. I used the applicator to swipe it on my lips, it glided on smoothly and within about 20 minutes, it was dry enough not to smudge. This lip ink gave my lips a super-lightweight finish. It didn't feel uncomfortable and had a pigmented soft-matte finish that lasted during the day. My lips were able to breathe because of the in-oil water formula.

I wanted to see if it would smudge off after I had a applied it and it had dried so, I held a tissue to my lips and pressed it. When I pulled the tissue away and looked at it, there was barely any lip stain on it which I thought was great.

I didn't really like the slight scent it has. It's not overpowering but I could smell it when I applied it to my lips. I have tan skin tone but this shade complimented my skin even though, it's red. It did make my lips stand out.

This L'Oréal Paris Rouge Signature lip ink fits in my hand perfectly and would be great to keep on hand in your purse for touching up your lip makeup and making a bold statement day or night.

I would love to try the other lip stains in the range as the pinks and a few other shades in the Rouge range have caught my eye. This shade is pretty but a little bright for me even though, it goes with my skin tone. I'll most likely only wear it when I want to make a statement and make my lips pop.

I probably would try other lip inks in this range and may purchase some in the near future as I need to build up my small lipstick collection. You can buy these from selected Supermarkets, Pharmacies and you can buy them at The Chemist Warehouse.

I am in the minority in New Zealand in that I often rock red lips.The only thing that puts me off doing so is the work involved. With this shade "I Don't"-it seems as if the name suggests the lack of lip maintenance. Normally, bold shades require constant mirror checks. Nobody wants that 'I applied it in the car' smear across your cheeks. Normally I deter the fuzzy lip-halo by employing a separate lip liner in a similar shade. This is not foolproof and still requires the requisite checks but it defines shape. I could wear this lip ink out for a good half a day without retouches and this is highly unusual. It also felt so light and not like cake-icing as some lipsticks can feel. The doe foot applicator gives you a super clean line without dispersing a lot of the reasonably-priced product ($28.99). You don't need a liner! it is that well-designed, that crisp. The tube looks high-end with a transparent vial and black and gold branding, and the fragrance is delightful but I can't think what it is.
