L’Oreal Paris Rouge Caresse Lipstick in Dating Coral Review and Swatches

L’Oreal Paris Rouge Caresse lipstick in Dating Coral Review and Swatches

Hi all,

L’Oreal Paris launched two lip products recently, a lipcolor that can be referred as a gloss and a lipstick. Since I am not a gloss kind of a person, I wasn’t too keen on buying the shine caresse lip color but its classy packaging made me change my mind. After using that, naturally my expectations for the lipsticks which were already high soared even higher. But guess what! For the first time I liked the lip gloss more than the lipstick. Why’s that? Read this review of L’Oreal Paris Rouge Caresse lipstick in Dating Coral below to know why I felt that.

Price: L’Oreal Paris Rouge Caresse lipsticks are priced at 499 rupees for 2.5 grams and have been launched in 10 shades. They are Dating Coral, Expresso, Sweet Berry, Hypnotic Red, Mauve Cherie, Impulsive fuchsia, Cheeky magenta, Rock n Mauve, Rose Mademoiselle, Aphrodite Scarlet

Claims: Don’t just stroke your lips, caresse them.  A flutter of kissably soft light weight feeling colour, its delicate texture glides onto lips creating a veil of color with luminous shine.

Packaging: L’Oreal Paris Rouge Caresse lipsticks are packaged in a transparent body bearing slight rose gold hues with the shade name written on the bottom of the tube and the top part showing the shade with metallic finish. The lipstick click shuts and its sturdy cap is tight enough. In short, packaging is decent but nothing like the classy packaging of L’Oreal Paris Shine Caresse lip colors or their Color Riche lipsticks. It exudes mild fragrance and the bullet looks more like a lip balm tube.

Dating coral is a sheer peachy color with very fine micro shimmer. Dating Coral looks more like “my lips but better” since the actual color of my lips is somewhat similar as that of this lipstick’s shade which makes the color gel into the original lip color of my lips thus it shows up only as if I have a colored lip balm on my lips.

Pigmentation is average and it requires at least three swipes to get a decent color. Its texture is sheer and very creamy or more like balms that hydrate the lips and feel light but on the downside, if  your lips are flaky it is not going to look flattering. Therefore, make sure that you scrub and take off the flakes beforehand.

Due to its sheer texture, the lipstick stays around 2-3 hours on me and gets wiped off after a small light meal. Till the time it stays on my lips, it hydrates them and even after getting wiped off, I feel that the lips are soft. It shows its balm like quality!!

I find its sheer texture and light formula good for everyday use but since the shade Dating Coral doesn’t show much on my already pigmented lips, my liking towards this product isn’t much. Maybe  would have liked it more if I would have chosen some other color or if it would have been a tad more pigmented as I find it too sheer for a lipstick. Not just the pigmentation even the quantity is lesser.
