L’Oreal Paris Color Riche LA Palette in Red Review

Hello IMBB,

A red lipstick is a must-have in your cosmetics. I think this has been proven most of the times on IMBB! I always assumed carrying a red lipstick was very difficult until I saw those beautiful million swatches on the blog. I started hoarding up red lip liners and a few lipsticks, but I always stayed mostly with plums than reds. It was only recently when L’Oreal launched its red palette! A perfect combination of 6 red shades and it was a long time plan to get my hands on it. After all, red lips can never go wrong! So read on to know more about L’Oréal Paris Color Riche La Palette.

My Experience with L’Oreal Paris Color Riche LA Palette in Red:

Who doesn’t love to have a stack of colors for a trip or a function? I had been dreaming to own a good lip palette and this came at the right time. There are two shades available in Netherlands and I see there are 4 available in UK! Someday I hope I own all 😛

One of the first few reasons I got attracted to the palette is its bright gold sleek packaging! The packaging is absolutely classy. Having it in my hand makes me feel so luxurious! The golden-mirror shiny palette is made out of good plastic. There is a tamper seal of the color of the product. The lid shuts with a click and considering its sleek finish, it makes the product travel friendly. The packaging is simple and classy! However, there is not much information on the product and you need to look up to the website for it. It comes in a half plastic wrap seal surrounding the product but other than that there is nothing. The lid contains a mirror and I absolutely love it.

The rack contains 6 shades of red. The first one of the top is the lightest and the last one below is the darkest. There are no names of these shades and below is the shade detail:

Shade 1: The colour is a beautiful shade of pink. It is similar to “Magenta Magic” from Lakme.
Shade 2: The first swatch of this shade looks like it is orange-y. I usually cannot carry off orange tones and thus was disappointed but when applied on lips, it gives a warm reddish-orange shade. The shade is not too loud and a perfect option for office or for a party!
Shade 3: This is a cooler shade and I love the fact that it is neither pinkish nor red. I love this colour the most.

Shade 4: This is a classic red! When I started using this one, it looked very similar to Shade 2, but when I started building it up, I realised that this is that shade of red that can make you look sultry or dull. It is a must have in everyone’s collection for making you stand out in a crowd!
Shade 5: This shade is a little bit of coral red. This has tiny blue glitter particles in it. I am not sure for what but they do not do anything except add a little bit shine in the sun.
Shade 6: The last darkest shade is a berry red. It almost looks like red wine! The colour in the palette looks brick red but the shade is completely different.

The colors carry a light fruity fragrance. The colors have extremely creamy and smooth texture. There are at times that the brush has caused small scars on them when I was trying to take the product out. The pigmentation is very good. The intense pigmentation is good for evening outs and parties. The colors look bold in just one swipe. The lipsticks glide very smoothly and application is very easy. However, if applied to dry lips, there is a tendency that they sit in between the dry lines of the lips. The colors do not bleed and without any liner, they stay where I have applied them. They do not transfer to cups or spoons, and I love this feature.

The shades stay on my lips for around 4-5 hours, and after that, there is a bright red stain left on my lips and this does take a while to fade away. The colors can be built up and they don’t look over the top. You can combine the colors to create new shades too. But with this palette, it is really difficult to create an ombre look or a new shade as the lips looks red! The shades look all same and you can notice just slight difference. As seen in the swatches, a few colors are similar.

The colors are glossy and not matte finish. A few of the shades have tiny glitter particles. The colors are very creamy and hence it gets a little difficult to apply them. The brush provided in the palette is good compared to the ones that we usually see in other palettes, but I prefer using a lip brush than using this one.

These lipsticks do not dry out the lips, but I always prefer it over exfoliated and moisturized lips. You do not want to go wrong with the red shades!
