Hello lovelies,
Its been a while since i did a lipstick review post so i thought i would get this one going.
I've had this lipstick for a while now, i first got it in Boots when i had spent £15 or more on L'Oreal products and they gave me a little free gift bag with lots of different bits inside, this was one of them. I've looked around the website and I'm yet to locate it again, which makes me think it was only part of the gift bag set they were giving away at the time. So I'm unsure if you can still purchase these! (Let me know, in the comments below if you find them anywhere).
L'oreal Diamantissime Colour Riche Lipstick in 325 - Feeric Fuchsia
Now on to the lip colour, its initially a pink, a fuchsia pink, but once applied onto the lips, it looks more like a red, a really bright red but it's got little tiny amounts of silver glitter mixed in there too. While applying it is very smooth, easy and clean, you can after feel the tiny bits of glitter when you start to blotch. The pigmentation is actually amazing as the colour completely shines through with just one coat on the lips..It also has very good staying power.. however, it is a very drying formula, and the way it feels once on the lips makes me not like this lipstick very much. I'm going to be honest and say i haven't worn this as much as i could have done, for the simple fact that i don't like the feel of it once its on the lips. One thing i haven't tried is maybe a applying a light gloss over the top to see if that feels any better. When you take the lipstick off, its pretty simple to wipe away and the colour comes right off and doesn't even leave those little red smudges that some other reds do, but it does leave your lips feeling slightly dry and full of glitter. YES, you heard that, once the colour comes off the lips, the glitter remains for a while longer. Some people may really enjoy this lipstick, but if you suffer from dry lips or a little hate for glitter lipsticks, i would give this one a miss. I, personally wont be going out to buy this shade again, as i feel MUA & Sleek (to name a few) do some great pigmented shades and they feel a lot creamier on the lips.
Have you tried this lipstick or any from that brand?
Ana
