L'Oréal Color Riche Red Valentine (PR512) Review |
So for this one, it comes with a plastic wrapper. Like the other lipsticks of L'Oréal, it comes with sleek packaging and a tile to show the shade. They sent me two pinkish shades, which is why I am so happy that the tiles are accurate enough that I know which one is this color and which one is a pinkish-orchid color (and that I will also be showing you guys here soon on the blog mehehe).

This is how the lipstick looks like on the tube. It's a bright, pink rose color. I am thinking that this is the color if you take vivid hot pink roses and crush them...

On the lips, it is much easier to control than Pure Rouge. Smudges are easier to deal with, and the stain it leaves on the sides of the lips is not that strong. It's supposedly the same creaminess as Pure Rouge, coming from the same product line, but this is a little bit more sheer due to having a tiny small (yes I can't use enough adjectives haha) amount of pearlizer. I rechecked the Pure Rouge one and yes it is purely matte with no touch of microshimmer at all. This has a very tiny amount of very small pearly particles that make it a little bit shinier. And I guess formula wise the color really is less opaque, it's really meant to be a little bit more sheer, but not Lancôme levels sheer. It's also not as glittery as Lancôme's lipsticks, which is why from afar it will still count as a non-sheer formula, and may even count as matte in the eyes of some due to the creamy formula.
Since it is a little bit more sheer, it also shows the cracks and creases on the lips a bit more compared to Pure Rouge. It has the same buttery feeling on the lips, but it doesn't pack on as heavily, which is why you can kind of see the cracked skin through this photo.

And this is how it looks like overall. It will grab everyone's attention onto your lips. This is the perfect lipstick to wear when you're dead tired because it will take people a long time before they actually notice your eyebags as they will surely be distracted by this color.

I personally like using this as a tint more of a full-on lipstick because I will be honest that I cannot pull off using this shade as legit lipstick on a daily basis. It's just so vava voom that I thrive better using its cousin, Maybelline's Bold Mattes in Mat 1, for my daily activities. But I feel that for more special occasions, when paired with a full face of makeup, this makes for a very sophisticated and memorable look.
Longevity wise it is also the same with Pure Rouge in that it lasts on the lips when eating is not involved. You will need to retouch this whenever you eat if you like to maintain the opacity throughout the day. But if you want to use it just as a tint and pat it on, you can actually pat it on in the morning and go about the day and still see the tint at the end of the day.
I like the texture of this lipstick, but it's not something I will use full blast, or will use alone (without mixing in a lighter lipstick or a gloss).
And yes, this is also Php400 a pop at L'Oréal counters nationwide.
