L’Oreal Color Riche Lipstick in Sandstone

Hi IMBBians! I just got to know how much IMBB means to me, as being a literally responsibility-free teenager living the best few years of her life (or so relatives enlighten me at every family gathering with a wide–as-the-nile smile on their vindictively happy faces ), I couldn’t post as regularly as I would’ve liked too (yeah perennially-deficient teenager`s finance concern syndrome taken into account ) :P, but you guys and gals and divas alike always come up with something new and novel every other day, which simply brightens up my day and even fuels my insomniac-ism 😛

NET WT.0.13 OZ. /3.6G MADE IN USA
SHADE: 810 SANDSTONE.

Packaging:

Loreal Color Riche Lipstick

Frankly speaking, this is the packaging that I adore next to Chambor’s navy blue packaging with their gold rose insignia on the top. The lipstick comes in a very attractive pale gold case (I obviously am referring to the colour, not the stuff its made of 😛 ) with super classy gold rings round the sides and the top of the case is pure golden which incidentally also reflects the nose of mine, as ten times its actual dimensions.  So yeah, it might just give our very own Bappi Lahiri a run for his err., gold-i-ness? 😛

My Take on L’Oreal Color Riche Lipstick in Sandstone:

Yeah, the lipstick looks good and even appeals to my nasal senses. 😀 This has a very faint earthy-lipstick-y smell which is barely-there and doesn’t go against the lipstick.The lipstick contains argan oil which has anti-ageing properties. Argan is a queen amongst oils. Here are a few factoids that L’Oreal might consider for the next campaign. Argan is a powerful antioxidant due to high levels of tocopherols (vitamin E). In this regard, argan oil puts olive oil in the shade with twice the level of tocopherols and ten times as many gamma-tocopherols.

The colour is sheer and copper-toned.  There are visible gold shimmers in the lipstick, so its ideal for a night-out or for nightwear.  This looks good on dusky complexions as well.

It is pretty long-lasting and doesn’t transfer much into napkins or cutlery unless you vigorously scrub it like in advertisements the eager-to-please daughter-in-laws scrub their pots and pans with the latest scotch-bright or Mr. Muscle or whatever stuff the companies are paying them to act for 😛 )

The lipstick is creamy and moisturizing on the lips, but not sticky like Fevicol (imagine your lips being glued to that glass of juice XD ,well on the positive side,your hands will be free to hold your clutch and adjust your hair 😛 ), okay enough of my nonsensical thinking, here’s the cons of the lipstick.

This was gifted to me by a cousin sister who lives abroad, otherwise I am not yet much into lipsticks; I tend to give liquid lip colours more importance, but now that I have started on lipsticks, I find that this is a pretty wearable shade especially with indo-ethnic wear, say in jeweled tones or slight metallic tones (imagine a copper-ish fitting kurti).  This shade would complement it perfectly.  This is perfect for those bollywood-style shaadis or even for exuding pretty-Indian-divaness in her gorgeous tanned or otherwise complexion.

Pros of L’Oreal Color Riche Lipstick in Sandstone:

  • Creamy and moisurising on the lips.
  • Shade will suit most complexions.
  • Can be used as a cream blusher or bronzer due to its sheerness  (I have tried it and it does work :P, talk about multi-utility thinking :D).
  • Its L’oreal and has a certain level of brand worthiness. So, it really isn’t disappointing.
  • Available in other shades which one can explore, in the range of plums, pinks, peaches, and corals for those who aren’t really into beige or browns.
  • Shade isn’t overtly shimmery and is wearable.
  • Lives up to its claims of being moisturizing and giving a good finish.

Cons of L’Oreal Color Riche Lipstick in Sandstone:

  • Does not show up well in pictures because of its sheerness.
  • Though it has sufficient lasting power (when untouched after application), it transfers into napkins or cutlery, maybe cause if its creaminess.
  • This shade in particular might not show up well on pigmented lips. In such a case ,the lips has to be embalmed in a relatively high coverage foundation and then this lip colour has to be applied on top of it if you want to go for a relatively heavy made-up look for an occasion.

So that’s it. This lip shade is ideal for those who love beige and copper-ish colours with brown undertones.  I might repurchase other shades in this range, mostly in peach and corals and reds, those are the colours that favour me and vice-versa 😀 You can check out the rest of the shades on their official website.
