Hi dears!

You know the feeling of getting an awesome freebie when you shop? I just love getting that because I feel like I'm getting a really good deal with my money.

One of the freebies I got that I really like is this...

L'Oreal x Balmain Paris Color Riche Lipstick in Rebellion

L'Oreal Color Riche Metallic Addiction in Rose Champagne

Hi loves!

Here's another product that I bought out of the blue! Haha!

I was with Tellie of Beauty by Tellie months ago and while browsing around SM Beauty, we spotted a tray of sparkly lipstick tubes! They're L'Oreal's Color Riche Metallic Addiction and they were on sale!

L'Oreal Color Riche Moist Matte Lipstick in Beige Couture

Hello dears!

I've been using a lot of matte liquid lipsticks. I still think they look wonderful, but there comes a point that I feel like it looks too dry for me. I still like the sort of matte finish but with a hint of creaminess to it, and that's what this matte lipstick that I'll be share swatches with you in this post is all about!

L'Oreal Color Riche Lipstick in Rose Fondu

Hey loves!

I've been using a lot of matte lipsticks lately and I absolutely love them. BUT that doesn't mean I do not go back to the classy tube type lipstick. I still find this kind of lippie the easiest to apply. I don't even need a mirror!

Anyway, here's a lipstick that I ALWAYS carry around with me. It's in the classic lippie form, it's a gorgeous pink nude shade, and it's matte!

L'Oreal Color Riche Lipstick in Rose Fondu

It's PhP 400.00.

I just love the color that even though I wasn't looking for a new lipstick, I still bought it!

The packaging is also classy with the metallic finish. I like that you still get to see the shade with that square in the middle.

This is included in the brand's Matte Parisian Browns collection. The collection made waves in the local beauty scene with the beautiful nude shades included. Rose Fondu was one of the lighter shades in the collection.

Here's the product info from BeautyMNL:

CLAIM TO FAME: A long-lasting, hydrating lipstick with a modern matte finish

FAST FACTS: Formulated with Matte Gel Technology for a semi-matte finish; deep color pigments deliver rich color payoff; intensely moisturizes lips with jojoba oil

PERFECT FOR: Gorgeous long-lasting lip color

And see below the swatch:

The shade is very wearable. It's a nice go-to shade when you just want a simple no-makeup look. 

It's semi-matte and non-drying! I find the shade and the finish very elegant!

What do you think of Rose Fondu? What are your favorite L'Oreal Lipstick shades?

Cheers,

L'Oreal Color Riche Pure Reds Star Collection Lipstick in Pure Amaranth

Hey dears!

My mom received a gift months before and it was a lipstick. Since I'm a pakialamerang anak (meddlesome daughter) to her beauty products, I took... errr borrowed it to post swatches! LOL 

L'Oreal Color Riche Pure Reds Star Collection Lipstick in Pure Amaranth

The shade is like the signature red lipstick of the L'Oreal ambassador, Gong Li. Other shades are available with the signature of the featured ambassador.

It's actually the first and only lipstick from the range that I've tried, unfortunately. I remember some months ago that so many bloggers posted about the lipsticks. 

Anyway, below's the product description from BeautyMNL. I tried finding it on the brand's website but I guess the shade is phased out or not available anymore...?

CLAIM TO FAME: L’Oreal’s special red lipstick line under its renowned Color Riche collection

FAST FACTS: Delivers opaque coverage with pure color pigments; hydrates lips with jojoba oil; long-lasting formula won’t budge or smudge

PERFECT FOR: Your everyday red lipstick

SPECIFICATIONS

WHAT YOU GET: (1) tube Color Riche Collection Star Red

NET WEIGHT: 4.2g

INGREDIENTS: Dimethicone, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Phenyl Trimethicone, Tridecyl Trimellitate, Ozokerite, Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Isostearyl Isostearate, Kaolin, Isohexadecane, Vinyl, Dimethicone /Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Alumina, Nylon-12, Polyethylene, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Geraniol, Bht, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Benzyl Alcohol, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Magnesium Silicate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Hexyl Cinnamal, Hydroxycitronellal, Silica, Tin Oxide, Methyl-2-Octynoate, Parfum/Fragrance

How to Use

Apply starting in the center of your upper lip. Work from the center to outer edges of your lips, following the contour of your mouth. Then glide across the entire bottom lip.

The shade is not something that I would consider red. It's fuchsia or magenta to my eyes... I think it's closer to pink than red (L'Oreal has a different range for their Color Riche pink shades).

It's still beautiful. My mom doesn't wear it much because she finds it too intense. She thinks she looks like a flamingo. Haha!

So that's the swatch. You can see how intense the pigment is in one swipe!

The color looks beautiful and it has an amazing lasting power. And it doesn't make my lips dry! Awesome! I can imagine the beautiful Gong Li rocking this shade. And I do believe that the shade looks good on me too. ;)
