Loreal on the Lips

Today I have a couple of Loreal lipsticks to share with you. I picked these up in my recent haul for less than half price!


These are both from Loreal's Colour Riche Nutri-shine line. I have the Nutri-shine lipstick in Pink Nude and the Nutri-shine tinted lip balm in 02 Nudy Coral.


The packaging on these is really nice and sleek. The square tubes are coloured corresponding to the lipstick shade and they are almost translucent which I think looks really pretty, almost like a gemstone! They feel very sturdy and close securely.


Pink Nude is a really pretty creamy neutral colour. It is sort of a peachy-pink with a hint of nude. It's an amazing everyday shade and I think the colour really complements my skintone! I absolutely love the way it looks! It also doesn't contain any shimmer.

Nudy Coral being a tinted lip balm has very little to no colour payoff. You get the slightest hint of orange, but really it's not very obvious at all, especially on my rather pigmented lips. What you do get though, is a lovely gloss to the lips, like a lipgloss, though not as thick and without the stickiness. It also contains a very fine shimmer which shows up and looks very pretty on the lips.

Onto the formula of these products:

The Nutri-shine lipstick has a formula very similar to the Revlon Lip Butters. Pink Nude has lovely colour payoff and is extremely creamy and comfortable to wear on the lips. It is also rather moisturising and I would say probably more than the Lip Butters. It has a reasonable staying power, probably to the same caliber as other sheer lipsticks.

While the tinted lip balm doesn't have the best colour payoff, it is a really lovely lip balm. It is really moisturising and like I said before, leaves a lovely shine to the lips. After wearing it, my lips are noticeably smoother and hydrated.

I really like both of these lipsticks/balms for different reasons. I can definitely see myself wearing Pink Nude a whole lot, and I already have been, because I think the shade is so flattering. The Nutri-shine lipbalm retails for $12.95 and the lipstick for $22.95.
