Review: L’Oreal Colour Riche Collection Privée

Hey Guys!

So L'Oreal has recently brought out a new, limited edition brand of lipsticks known as Collection Privée. The collection consists of eight lipsticks, each designed to suit the skin colour of the star it was created for. The eight stars included in the collection are; Frieda Pinto, Julianne Moore, Jane Fonda, Fan Binging, Eva Longoria, Liya Kebede, Ines De La Fressange and Doutzen Kroes.

 I picked up three of the colours from my local Boots on a 2 for £14 offer (original price £8.19)

I think the packaging is absolutely gorgeous, its matte black with gold trim and gold writing, very elegant and sophisticated and suits the Hollywood personalities it is trying to represent.

But anyway, onto the actual product, the lipstick itself is sheer with a glossy finish. They do tint your lips, but are not as pigmented as other lipsticks, meaning they still look very natural which I think is great as it makes them wearable everywhere and would make a good back to school lipstick!

The texture of the lipstick is really creamy, and they apply to lips easily, making them feel moisturised, however the product can feel a little heavy, unlike many lipsticks that feel natural and light.

The three colours I picked up were Eva, Julianne and Doutzen, Julianne being my favourite of the three.

Eva’s shade is the darkest of the three; it is a dark pink shade and is also the least glossy of the three.

Doutzen’s lipstick is the lightest of the three, a sheer, pale pink colour and is more tailored to her tanned skin, hence why it doesn't suit my pale face!

Finally, Julianne’s colour is a reddish-pink, very sheer and glossy. I find it looks very natural because of its sheerness which is the main reason this shade is my favourite.

Also in the Collection Privée collection, the women have a nail polish and blush to match their skin tones, however I haven’t seen these in England’s drug stores yet, fingers crossed they’ll be available soon!

Bye Guys and have a nice week!
