L’Oreal Colour Riche Matte Lipstick Review & Swatches
L’Oreal Colour Riche Matte Lipstick is a new matte finish lipstick collection available in 16 shades that launched earlier this Summer in time for the Fall 2017 season. As you know I’m not a matte lipstick kind of girl but I decided to pick up two of these none the less to review and swatch up here on the blog.
Let’s take a look!
L’Oreal Colour Riche Matte Lipstick is a fairly inexpensive and uneventful lipstick. If you’re embracing mattes for your Fall looks they are far better formulas available at the drugstore (Rimmel The Only One Matte is a great one!).
Depending where you purchase these lipsticks they can set you back $6 to $9 which each barrel holding 0.13 oz of product. I got mine at Harmons and I believe I paid $5.49 each so, not really too bad a deal.
The formula is quite dry but not so dry that the lipstick tugs during application. It does however, have a tendency to fall into my natural lip lines which gives it the appearance of looking quite dry and less than smooth. The application was easy enough with a light, creamy consistency that glided onto lips easily. The finish is actually a little more creamy than pure matte. I had no issues with it feathering during the four hour wear time but it was comfortable during that time and felt rather dry. They do have a light perfume-y flavor and fragrance.
I get that L’Oreal Colour Riche Matte Lipstick is a launch that’s trying hard to keep up with the current matte trend for Fall but it’s a dismal formula that doesn’t wear comfortably and ages lips horribly. I’d skip it as there are far nicer budget options available that aren’t dry or dry looking.
L’Oreal Colour Riche Matte Lipstick is available now at ulta.com, amazon.com, and target.com.
