L’Oreal Colour Riche Shine Lipstick Review & Swatches

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

L’Oreal Colour Riche Shine Lipstick ($7.99) is a new glossy finish lipsticks available in 16 shades for the Spring 2018 season. Ahh finally some blessed relief from all matte lipstick everything! Glossy, shiny lips for Spring! I’m so tired of the endless round of matte finish lipsticks and hoping that with the introduction of L’Oreal Color Riche Shine Lipstick we’ll see even more brands embracing a shiny lip look for the seasons ahead. Burt’s Bees already launched a new Glossy Lipstick a few months ago which has a little kindling of hope burning in my mind that more brands will follow along with the trend.

I think Colour Riche Shine Lipstick could fill a the spot you have in your heart for the long gone L�Oreal Color Caresse Lipstick as the formula is a little thicker but just as lovely. And if you’re in the UK or Asia you’ve already been privy to these in some format or another like Colour Riche Nutri Shine Lipstick or Shine Gelee and of course, in September/October the Colour Riche Shine Lipstick Collection was launched just in different shades and packaging compared to our version.

Let’s take a look at my review and swatches of L’Oreal Colour Riche Shine Lipstick.

Maybelline Color Sensational Powder Matte Lipstick Review & Swatches

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

Maybelline Color Sensational Powder Matte Lipstick ($4.99) is a new extreme matte, full-coverage formula that launched with the Maybelline Spring 2018 Collection in five shade selections. I’m not sure why Maybelline feels the need to continuously release a variety of different matte lipsticks. There’s an entire range of Maybelline Matte Color Sensational Lipstick and as well as the Creamy Matte Lipstick Collection and Color Sensational Matte Metallics so, why we need a range of Powder Matte Lipsticks is beyond me. Particularly because this formula sucks so hard it hurts.

As they say, if it isn’t broken don’t fix it. I think they could have successfully stopped with the Creamy Matte formula was it was a good one but I guess they want to be an affordable competition for brands like Urban Decay that have a range of finishes and colors in their lipstick formula. However, if they are going to release a wide variety of finishes and formulas at least take the time to create something wearable. The texture of this lipstick is horribly dry and painful to apply.

Sigh.

Ulta has quite a few hot buys at the moment if you’re still gifts or for yourself! One of the biggest sales is on the Modern Renaissance Eyeshadow Palette which is 20% Off for the next few days. It’s possibly one of my favorite Anastasia Beverly Hills Palettes as well worth hauling if you don’t already own it. Don’t forget if you still have your 20% Off coupon you can use it and take an extra amount off the already reduced price of $33.60.

Another great buy are the Tarte Double Duty Beauty Palettes which marked down 40% with prices from $17-$19.
