Colour Riche Intense Volume Matte Lipstick, Lip Makeup Infused with Hyaluronic Acid for up to 16HR Wear, Le Rouge Paris, 0.06 Oz

Hands down my favorite lipstick of all time. There is no comparison. This lipstick wins the gold medal in the Olympics of lipsticks. Though not marketed as an “all day” lipstick, with the correct preparation of my lips (I generally lightly apply some lip balm on my lips as I’m putting on my makeup in the morning. To date, my favorite is “Paw Paw Lip Balm” - I use the original in the yellow tube. - as it absorbs into my lips better than anything else I’ve tried, and if there is still a slight amount of balm left on my lips at the time of application on the lipstick, it’s not a problem. - If there is more than a slight amount, I will blot, first.) For the application process of this lipstick, I will apply a single layer, blot, apply a second layer, and blot, again. Also, I make sure that I clean my lips using my finger to ensure that the lipstick cannot get onto my teeth. If needed, I will use the lipstick to line my lips as desired (just using the lipstick bullet, itself). Once the lipstick sets, I’m generally good for the day. It’s smooth, soft, non-feathering, and beautiful. That’s it. I can drink my coffee, eat, drink a soft drink, drink water, have a snack, enjoy a cocktail… my lipstick stays on ALL DAY LONG! I don’t need to reapply AT ALL!!! Using this process, including the moisturizing (and any buffing of lips that might be needed) with the Paw Paw, and doing exactly as stated, my lips don’t get too dry. (Sometimes, I will get dry mouth from my medications, and that will begin to affect my lips, but not the lipstick, itself, generally.) I have this lipstick in three colors, and I will be adding more. It rivals (or beats) any luxury lipstick I’ve had. Its packaging is also very attractive. It’s sleek and luxurious looking. I can get a lot of wear out of a single tube of this lipstick, and that makes it a great value for me.

L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Intense Volume Matte Lipstick #195 is a beautiful red. I love the color, the texture, and the wearing power of this lipstick. I also have the #300 and I’m torn over which is the truest red. This lipstick and the L’Oreal brand are my fav go to.

I used to wear Loreal Endless lipstick but for some reason, it got discontinued. It's hard for me to find one that doesn't dry out my lips, last long and has the exact shade that I like. Loreal Endless had all that so I been on a search for a replacement ever since. This is a darker color than what I'm used to but I do love it. It stays on for a very long time, even after wiping it off, there is a stain, almost like I used a lipstain product but the color is deeper and lasts much longer than a lipstain. The shade I got is Le Rose Activist. I hardly ever wear red, but this shade looks really good on me and helps my think lips look a little fuller. It does dry my lips out slightly, although not nearly as much as other lipsticks I've tried such as any MAC or other long lasting lipsticks such as Revlon Colorstay. That is the only reason that I gave 4 stars. I do have very dry skin. I prefer to buy it on Amazon and save a few dollars. I saw it at CVS, decided on the color and right in the store, bought it on Amazon for $4 less.

Great color, long lasting, good value for my dollar.

Awesome color.

The shade is truly beautiful and looks especially flattering on dusky skin tones. The formula feels smooth and comfortable on the lips and provides noticeable hydration, making it easy to wear for long periods without dryness. However, it does not live up to its 16-hour long-lasting claim. The lipstick transfers quite easily and starts to wear off sooner than expected, especially after eating or drinking, so reapplication is necessary. While it’s a great option for color and comfort, longevity is definitely a drawback.

Had to jump on the bandwagon and grab this lipstick Beautiful natural flush to the lips

Nice color and texture, stays put well. Deducted one star because I wish it came in a cardboard tube, not plastic.
