     Red and pink lipsticks will always be a staple lip color in every girl's lipstick collection. For me, pink is perfect for everyday makeup look. On the other hand, I always sport red lipstick for special occasions. I presume that you've seen your favorite beauty bloggers rave this collection from L'Oreal Paris- Color Riche Lipsticks Velvet Pinks and Matte Reds.

Her favorite shade is Pure Rouge. For this review, I'll be sharing with you photos, swatches, and my thoughts on the shades that I have in my makeup stash- L'Oreal Color Riche Velvet Pinks “ La Vie En Rose” in Nymphea and Rose Lotus with L'Oreal Color Riche Matte Reds in Pure Rogue and Pure Garnet.

What I like:

  • The price is affordable.
  • There's no funky or weird scent.
  • Each lipstick is housed in a classy black tube.
  • It's easy to apply. Glides smoothly on my lips.
  • The texture is creamy. For the velvet pinks, I can say it has a buttery texture. 
  • For matte reds- both gives a full coverage after one swipe. I can say that color pay-off is opaque upon application.
  • For velvet pinks- gives a sheer color at first but buildable on the following swipe.
  • The velvet pink shades are wearable, perfect for everyday lip color.
  • There are 7 shades for the velvet pinks while 8 shades for the reds to choose from.
  • It's easily accessible. Available in all L'Oreal Paris counters nationwide.
  • The staying power is great. It leaves a beautiful stain even if I eat greasy and oily food.
  • It's not drying on my lips but I still apply my favorite lip balm prior to application.

What I don't like:

  • The shade indicator doesn't match the color of the lipstick inside the tube but it's no biggie for me.

Will I repurchase? Yes! I also want to try other shades that's perfect for colder months. 

Recommendation:
    I give this a 5/5 rating. Perfect because the pinks are perfect for everyday makeup and there's a perfect pink shade for every skin tone. The matte reds are also a good investment for those who like to wear different shades of red- from warm to cool tones. There are 8 shades to choose from so I guess you will find the red color that your lipstick loving heart desires.

What are your favorite shades from both collection? Share your thoughts below :)

Good Times!~

L'Oreal Color Riche #SwatchandShoot Event

Sunday, July 03, 2016

     Last month, I was invited to L'Oreal's Swatch and Shoot event held at Lartizan, Serendra BGC. I'm nervous and excited to attend this kind of beauty event because most of the invited guests are expert beauty gurus (bloggers/vloggers) who are really good in eye shadow makeup. If you're a long time reader of this blog prolly you know that I rarely put eye shadow on my lids because I'm not good in blending. 

     I only apply eye shadow when the need arise, in a very special occasion like weddings. How I apply it? I just follow the diagram at the back of the packaging if there's any. I only apply a single color and I'm good to go. After attending #LOrealSwatchandShoot event I think I really need to practice the art of eye shadow application because the eye shadow shades from L'Oreal Color Riche La Palette Nudes are very pretty and wearable! Highlights of event below :)
L'Oreal Color Riche #SwatchandShoot Event
    The theme of the event was French-inspired, it's an afternoon tea kind of day to be exact. Lartizan is the perfect place to swatch and shoot because the products that was launched like the additional shades of L'Oreal Color Riche Lipsticks (blooming pinks) and the most awaited L'Oreal Color Riche La Palatte Nude Eyeshadows radiate class and sophistication. 
L'Oreal Color Riche #SwatchandShoot Event
     During the event, we did a lot of flat lays and swatching of L'Oreal products. No need to complain because it's what beauty bloggers/vloggers love to do! It's also an afternoon of fun and play- testing all the products from the line and after finding our favorite shades of lipstick/s and color/s from the eye shadow palette, we had a chance to shoot a short video.

     So there dearies, these products from L'Oreal are already available in the market and did you notice their affordable prices? Yup, I find these babies affordable because the products above are less than one thousand pesos. There are two products that were the star of the event: Color Riche Velvet Pinks and La Palette Nude that I'll be reviewing on my next post. I'm done with my own swatches and surprisingly, the lipsticks and eye shadow palettes are promising considering their respective price.

     Sharing with you my selfie-ready face wearing L'Oreal Color Riche Velvet Pink Lipstick in Nymphea, L'Oreal Color Riche La Palette Nude in Rose for my eye shadow, and L'Oreal Super Liner Superstar Eyeliner. Yay, to the most nerve-cracking part (it's my first-ever video) filmed during the event itself. It's less than a minute so I hope you'll watch it. I'm so nervous that time, I stutter and you can see that I'm not that confident talking in front of the camera. Pardon my English if I don't have that accent because to tell you honestly I'm not used to this but special thanks to Martha of The Beauty Junkee blog for encouraging me to do this. So without further ado, here's my initial thoughts on L'Oreal Color Riche Velvet Pink Lipstick in Nymphea and L'Oreal Color Riche La Palette Nudes. 
Full review of L'Oreal La Palette Nude and Velvet Pink Lipsticks on my next post so stay tuned!
