Fashion Blogger Life: Loreal Paris COLLECTION Star Lipstick

Fashion Blogger Life: Loreal Paris COLLECTION Star Lipstick 
Hey all! Here I am back with another post. L’Oréal Paris launched 7 new Color Riche Pure Reds for the collection star. The most exciting thing about this collection is that 7 iconic ambassadors of LOREAL Paris ambassadors pick their exquisite matte shades. The collection contains a mix of colors from the red family. This new marketing strategy quite appealed me. I received three shades from the Collection Star Lipstick range. 
The one I am wearing here is Pure Rouge chosen by Freida Pinto. I am minimal make up. I would love it if you all can suggest some good and creamy concealor for my eyes. Here take a look. 
On my Face: Clinique BB Cream, Clinique Loose Powder, MAC Concealor, MAC black roll-on eye pencil,  Loreal Mascara and Loreal Pure Rouge


About the Product
The Color Riche Pure Reds Collection is created with a revolutionary and innovative formula that delivers bold, luscious color that lasts for a full 6 hours, making it the ultimate beauty indulgence. Pure pigments deliver intense color and Jojoba oil gives perfect hydration up to 4 hours. The range includes 7 exquisite matte shades. Each of the lipstick has the autograph of the L’Oréal Paris ambassadors who choose the shade. There is also a colored button on the bottom cover which is close to the lipstick shade but not really same. 

The three samples I received are: 
Pure Amaranthe Gong Li: Now this is a pretty hot-pink with reddish undertone. I didnt really like this one. My lips looked really dry after a while and the staying power was way too less. 

Pure Garnet by Sonam Kapoor: This is a luscious plum toned shade. It is very unique and something you wont see in other brands. A deep color for that perfect pout!

Pure Rouge by Freida Pinto: Another classic red, more on the ‘bridal red’ lines which I am wearing in the picture. 
Color - Pure Rouge is red wine color. A classic red color or a bridal red more towards the maroon side. I usually don't wear such dark colors. 
Duskier girls cannot miss on this. L’Oréal Pure Rouge does not look that dark and pigmented in the tube.
Pigmentation - I am wearing two coats for a richer color. It is great for pigmented lips. A swipe is more than  enough. 
Texture - It is matte and quite drying. I always wear lip balms underneath. My lips looked dry after 4 hours with 2 coats of lipstick. 
Stay -Since it is matte, dark and pigmented, the stay is very long. It survives light meal. The staying power is not more than 3-4 hours. I felt little uncomfortable and applying lip balm underneath in turn reduced the staying power. 


What I like
- It is great for pigmented lips because of intense color
- easy to identify with celebrity inspired shades 
- Attractive packaging
- The color is quite different from other brands 



What I didnt like
- They dry out the lips. 
- It is not really budget friendly. 995 INR for 4.2 gms. Even the MAC lipsticks are in the same range.
Bullet shape might need some practice to achieve perfect look (Only when it is new)


The other shades are:
Pure Scarleto by Blake Lively: A perfect red shade. The classic ‘tomato red’ shade that has high intensity which will take your look to a whole new level. 
Pure Fire by Li Bing Bing: A coral/ orange lipstick with a hint of red that flatters a medium skin tone well. .
Pure Brick by Aishwarya Rai: A subtle, brown based red. Best for everyday wear/ office wear when you want to pep up your outfit with a red lipstick. This one too has a little bit of golden sheen. I am not really into brownish shades. 
Pure Vermeil by Fan Bing Bing: More like a pinky-coral shade. May look different on different skin tones.

VERDICT
The color is really unique and not something that you see everyday.
What I liked about the collection is that they choose different ambassadors from different countries so that girls can pick their shades without any qualms. 
The color is pigmented and stays for long. But I cannot simple use it without a lip balm or Vaseline petroleum jelly that works the best for me. Since they are highly pigmented you really need a good makeup remover to take it off. 

You can buy them online on Flipkart.
