L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Lipstick Pink Passion Review, Swatches and FOTD

Pink passion is a summery pink lipstick with a hint of coral. The texture is smooth and creamy. It glides on to my lips like a dream! The mean reason why I love this lipstick is of course its creaminess. There are no silly shimmers or glitters present in this lipstick. After application, it settles into a fine glossy finish, which turns truly matte in 1-2 hours.

The pigmentation of this lipstick is just awesome! Just one swipe and you are all done. Pigmented lips will love this particular shade. On my lips, it shows bright coral-ly pink soon after application but turns into a beautiful (Read wearable!) pink after few minutes. With more than 3-4 swipes, it shows a bit neon-sh.

At first, I got scared seeing the shade on the tube. I was like ‘Oops.. This is definitely going to wash me out’ but then, I realized that this pink passion shade is a lovely wearable shade for most of the Indian skin tones. I have a dark skin tone and I can still carry it well with good base makeup. It also suits pale, dusky and tan beauties.

One thing I want to mention about this lipstick is that it settle into fine lines if your lips are not well exfoliated. Without exfoliation, your lips cannot carry this shade at all! But this happens with almost every lipstick.

The staying power of this lip stick is excellent! It stays for 3-4 hours on me and then leaves a lovely tint that stays for 2-3 more hours. The lipstick is kiss proof too! (Believe me, I seriously didn’t test it) 😛

Overall, I am in LOVE with Pink Passion and I would say it is a great quality lipstick though the price is a bit steep. Once you get it, you won’t regret for it

The shade washes out dusky skin toned girls (like me!) if worn without a good makeup base. If you wear it with your foundation and compact on, you will rock whatever you skin tone is!

Do I Recommend?:

I highly recommend this particular shade! If you are really passionate about PINK, then this lipstick is a must in your vanity case. The creamy texture, the beautiful summer pink color and the pigmentation makes this lipstick stand out!

Would I Repurchase?

Hmmm To be honest, its a ‘No’.. But wait, I will definitely try out the other shades from this range. Though the price is bit high for me (and all the students out there!) the quality of this lipstick attracts me a lot! I am eyeing out for Red Rhapsody next.

The world of blogs has been a great experience for me, not just reading and writing, but also grabbing some of the products. Not that I was longing for this product, but I just happened to land on this shimmery product; pretty good and decent product from Maybelline.

Price & Quantity: $3.89 for 10 g

Shade: Rosy Twinkle

Key Ingredients: (I am attaching the image)

Usage Instructions: Sweep powder over cheekbones with Expert Tools Face Brush.

My Experience with Maybelline Shimmer Powder in Rosy Twinkle:

Maybelline Rosy Twinkle Shimmer Powder falls into the make up category of blush.

Packaging: This product comes in a flat square cardboard box which has a magnetic flap cover. The top cover is completely transparent which allows seeing the shimmery blush.

Colour &Texture: The color of the Maybelline Shimmer Powder is named Rosy Twinkle. It definitely has that twinkle in it which makes the cheeks glow. But I do not find it in a rosy blushing shade. It is more of peach on my cheeks.
The texture of this product is dry and powdery. A little touch of the brush on the product brings out lots of powder dust, both on the brush tip and out of the pan too.

How it works: The shimmer powder blush gives a very nice peachy glittery shine to my cheeks. The color of this blush is very dim. A little of the product will give the much wanted shimmers on the cheeks. Some more swipes will give the peach effect.
Since it is too powdery, it is not meant for dry skin people like me. But it has not troubled my skin much. It has not even reacted badly on my skin.
Personally I would like it to be less powdery. The shimmers in this product is just right, neither too bling shiny sparkles, nor too pale for a blush. Though I have dry skin, I still opt for powdered, lightly shimmered blush. That’s my choice.

FOTD:

PROS:

Good amount of 10g product provided.
Right amount of shimmers in the product.
A little is enough for achieving the shimmery look on the cheeks.
A peach shade with shimmers.
Since the blush is peach shimmers, it would go well with most skin tones.

CONS:

Too powdery, more than wanted.
A light swipe of the brush on the pan brings out lot of product.
Product is not suitable for dry skin

Makeup and Beauty Home Rating: 3/5

Do I Recommend Maybelline Shimmer Powder in Rosy Twinkle?:
Not really a high recommendation. If you want a moderately shimmered blush product, then u may go for this product. This actually does not show much of the color in the initial swipes.

Would I Repurchase
No. I will hunt for some other peach blush.
