$30 is a bit pricey for me in terms of lipstick right now, but I couldn't say no the packaging and the color. These are boxes I will definitely be keeping! I know it is literally just cardboard but I can't help it.
For those unfamiliar with the L'Absolu Rouge formula, it has moisture boosting Pro-Xylane as well as Vitamin E to keep the formula moist for 8 hours. I experienced about 6 and a half hours of good wear before it started to fade. Because of the color, it does fade in a flattering way, though.
This is very opaque in one go, and has a slight sheen to it that makes lips look, as well as feel, comfortable. It does have a strong floral scent, so please be aware if you are sensitive to smells. It fades after a half hour on the lips, but is very noticeable upon first application.
This is bright without being too neon or in your face, but still very relevant for this season. Jason Wu and Lancôme really nailed this collection, in my opinion, and I know this will be a staple lipstick for me well into the Fall! I can't wait to bring this one with me to London!
It's definitely bright! But it's not too OTT, you are right.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it strikes a nice balance!
DeleteI need this lipstick in my life! What a gorgeous pink shade! This would be a nice addition to my pink lipstick collection! It also looks fabulous on you Margo!
ReplyDeleteThis would probably look even more fab on you Pilar! You rock pink so well!
DeleteWhat a great, saturated red! I don't have any Lancome lipsticks - just a Lip Lover. The lipsticks always smelled too strong for me!
ReplyDeleteYes, they do smell very strong, so if you can't handle that, this one is no different!
DeleteBeautiful lipstick Margo! The color looks great on you and I agree I love the packaging too!
