RICHE MATTE COLOR

This is my go too daytime shade. Goes on effortlessly, stays on and moisturises the lips and always a great price on amazon.

Wow it’s incredible colour and strong lipstick!I love it!!

I bought this lipstick (in shade 630, Beige À Nu) purely due to how incredibly cheap it was after applying my 15% Subscribe & Save discount. I figured at worst it would prove useful for mixing with pink lipsticks I already own to create usable nude/MLBB shades. To my total surprise--and absolute delight!!--the colour & finish of this is as close a match as I've ever found to a (sadly) long discontinued shade of Boots No7 lipstick (RIP Savannah!). It was my go-to as a teenager who was just discovering that there were choices beyond Rimmel's infamously frosty Heather & Coffee Shimmers (what were we all thinking? Were we thinking at all??). I felt so put together, so very grown up whenever I applied it! And it looked good with EVERYTHING. Alas, all good things must come to an end & eventually it got cut from the No7 lineup.Over the years, finding a lipstick as close as possible to Savannah had become my "great white whale". I'd scour the shelves & trawl through swatches via image search on & off, never finding quite the right shade of tawny rose in combination with the desired level of sheen or opacity. But now my watch is ended!PROS:This excellent pink-brown, medium-depth nude is incredibly flattering on my fairly pale, neutral skin where most warmer nudes tend to wash me out. It has something between a cream & satin finish, applies smoothly, and is pigmented enough to provide adequate coverage in one pass while also being sufficiently lightweight & slick in texture to clean up any mistakes or smudges easily. In addition, the packaging for this limited edition version, seemingly produced as some kind of promotional tie-in to the Cannes Film Festival, while fully plastic & therefore lacking the heft of the sort of packaging used by a high-end/luxury brand, is actually rather unique & lovely to look at for a high street brand! Candy apple red with gold details & a faux marble look, the tube has the kind of flashy glamour that can very easily tip over into outright tacky when poorly executed. Here, thankfully, the designer has kept it clean & simple enough to allow a bit of fun with the finish!CONS:The staying power is just okay. You'll get maybe 3 hours or so before needing to reapply, but if you're planning on eating/drinking/smoking during that period, your lips have little to no chance of making it through your lunch break without a retouch; considering that's the most spirited criticism I can muster, and weighing that against the fact that it's so cheap, I can't find it in me to go too hard on this lipstick for its lack of longevity! I guess the distinctive, powdery fragrance that seems to pervade L'Oréal's entire lipstick range might seem off-puttingly dated to some but I find it fairly inoffensive. It does linger for a good while post-application though, so worth taking into account if you're particularly averse to heavily scented products.

Texture, colour, longevity, value for money

Very pleased to have been able to find this exact lipstick and lovely shade again, one which seems to have been discontinued elsewhere

Disappointed, great colour but zero longevity. Feels moist but comes off as soon as you eat and drink. What a shame. Pictured after an hour on having eaten and had one drink.

Excellent product and fast delivery

A smooth and easy to apply lipstick. A vibrant colour that shines. A good value buyThank you
