L'ORÉAL Color Riche Caress in Cotton Pink

I am a sucker for great advertising. I checked out L'ORÉAL's Color Riche Caresse collection because it promises "a wearable and gentle caress of color". I also needed a pink lip color, since I realized I was really lacking in the light pink department. Enter Cotton Pink!

 
I love the packaging! So classy, but it better be for $9.99. The price is one of the reasons I usually stay away from drugstore lipsticks like this. I am always afraid they will disappoint.
 
 
This is a thinner lipstick and there isn't a ton of product, but the lovely gold tube is a consolation. I also am a fan of the strawberry-esque smell of the lipstick.
 
 
I think I will feel very glamorous using it...but now to the color!
 
 
This is a paler pink with blue undertones, and yet it still has a punchy pop to it that makes it a little more fun and girly.
 
 
This is nicely moisturizing and really does feel like a little hint of color, almost like a colored balm. I am happy with the color and it feel weightless on my lips, however that means it only lasts about an hour and a half.
 
Final Thoughts: They have a good shade range, so if you aren't partial to the heaviness of lipstick, try these out!
 
Price: 7/10
Staying Power:7/10
Packaging: 10/10
Color/Wearability: 10/10
Quality/Branding: 9/10
 
 
Total: 43/50 = B = Pleased Panda
 
Do you like the Caress line? Tried it? Love it or leave it?
