Hey guys! So, I finally caved and tried one of those L'Oréal lipsticks everyone's been raving about, and I have thoughts. You know how I'm always on the hunt for the perfect everyday lipstick – something that's not too drying, has decent staying power, and doesn't break the bank? Well, L'Oréal has a ton of different lines, so it was a bit overwhelming trying to choose. I ended up going for the Colour Riche line, mostly because they had a shade that looked exactly like my favorite discontinued one.
First impressions? The packaging is…well, it's L'Oréal. Not super fancy, but it doesn't feel cheap either. It's that classic gold tube, you know the one. But honestly, who cares about the packaging if the product inside is good, right?
The color I picked up is called "Nude Ambition" (or something like that – honestly, the names are a bit much sometimes!). It's this gorgeous, slightly pinky-nude that's perfect for my skin tone. They have a massive shade range though, like seriously, there's something for everyone. From your classic reds to crazy purples, they've got it all.
Application was super smooth. It glides on really easily, and it's surprisingly pigmented. One swipe is pretty much all you need for full coverage. It has a slightly creamy texture, which I really like, because my lips tend to get dry. It doesn't feel heavy or sticky, which is a huge plus.
Now, the big question: how long does it last? Okay, so it's not a miracle worker. It's not going to survive a burger and fries, let's be real. But for everyday wear, it holds up pretty well. I got a good few hours before I needed to reapply, even after coffee and a bit of snacking. It fades gracefully too, which is important. You know how some lipsticks get all patchy? This one just kind of fades evenly.
The only downside I've noticed is that it does transfer a little bit. Nothing major, but you'll definitely leave some lipstick on your coffee cup. And it's not completely transfer-proof, so be careful with kisses! 😉
Overall? I'm actually really impressed. For the price, it's a fantastic lipstick. The color range is amazing, the formula is comfortable, and the staying power is decent. It's definitely become my new go-to everyday lipstick. If you're looking for a good, affordable lipstick, I'd definitely recommend checking out L'Oréal. Just be prepared to spend some time choosing a shade, because there are so many! Let me know if you guys have tried any other L'Oréal lipsticks – I'm always looking for recommendations!
