this is one of my favourite lipsticks but this blonde/brunette selection is just a gimmic. I have the colur 253 nude which is a nude pink recommended for blondes(I'm avery dark brunette) and it suits me fine.In fact I prefer it to some of the brunette line. Nice lipsticks, nice packaging, average price , worth a try.

Overall, I highly recommend the L'Oreal Colour Riche lipsticks. This brand can frequently be found on ebay for just a few bucks, or on discount upwards of 75% off retail. At this price, I can get more than just on a few and be OK with a couple of stinkers.

LINDA'S BEIGE #809 - Linda's Beige is a true neutral. It's a medium tone beige without a warm or cool cast. The color swatch at the L'Oreal website makes #809 look like a peach-brown - the color in person is actually a bit darker and does not have an orange cast. On my light-medium white skin, #809 looks like a dark nude or a light brown. I think #809 might make a nice nude on darker skin than my own. Glides on smooth. Just a touch of shimmer. Has a bit of gloss bit its not overdone. I am looking for a shade lighter than this one but am still happy to have this in my collection. I purchased an extra for back-up.

DUNE #875 - Dune is a peach-brown with some shimmer. It is slightly lighter than Linda's Beige and highly wearable. Although I tend to gravitate to mauve & rose lip colors, DUNE is a color that I can easily wear. On my light-medium skin, it's just right for a natural look that doesn't scream nude makeup palette.

BELLA DONNA MAUVE #202 - Bella Donna Mauve gets rave reviews from the make-up community. However, I find it to be too pink & too orange to be a true mauve or rose color. Based on the reviews that I had read and the swatches that I had viewed, I expected to love this color but I don't. I like it but don't love it.

CASHMERE #854 - This is a neutral, go-to color that serves me well as a back-up. I keep a tube of this color in my office desk & another a home. It's a nudish rose-brown with ever so slight gold flecks. Goes with everything. I would buy it again.

LAETITIA'S CHAMPAGNE #114 is a pink-rose shimmer that is unlike swatches. Not brown enough, not nude enough to be a color that is contemporary. Probably my least favorite. continued >>

This was my first lipstick. The first colors I purchased were Sea fleur, Peach fuzz, Fairest Nude, and Tawny. I admit I went through a few shades just to only find Peach fuzz as my acceptable favorite. The texture is definitely very creamy and the colors are very vibrant. The lasting power is just as average as most lipsticks, but there are a few others who beat it just by an hour or two.

i love the 2 colours i got in this ...Earth Rose- a warm muted peachy brownish red- great for everyday use ..and Elegance Satin...a lovely smooth muted plum colour. i would def re-purchase these and want to try out more colours. love them

I really like the one I have so far, which is garnet rose...I think the color suits me (kinda red with a little pink-ish or sth.) and I donīt mind the smell...it actually reminds me of the old lipsticks my mother used to wear when I was like 10 and secretly put them on in the bathroom just to see what it looked like, so I guess I associate it with sth. positive...
anyway...I donīt give full points for this only because what s.b. said about it not spreading evenly is kinda true for me, but only if I donīt apply enough so itīs more a lipstick for going out or special events than just going shopping or sth. for me at least...but when I wore it recently it stayed on pretty nicely throughout the evening/night/morning and I only reapplyed it like 3 time and one of those was really just for the sake of it, cause itīs soo nice! ^^
anyway (again)...I recommend this lipstick and it doenīt glitter all that much on me ( could just be this color though...)

I love the Color Rich line of lipsticks. There is a huge color selection and something for everybody. Yes the smell is powerful but I like it. Don't know how to describe it - you'd just have to smell it in the store and see if you can live with it. The formula is creamy and moisturizing to me. I have over 10 of them in different shades and dohn't have any complaints :-) I've found a couple shades that aren't terribly flattering so I just give them away and buy different ones. The price is a tad steep for drug store but oh well.

I hate this stuff : ( i wanted to like it because i got this amazing red colour. its called 297 Red passion. and its supposed to look good on people with blonde its from the made for me line. Im pretty dissapointed in it though. i mean, its okay, its not something i would reach for alot though. farrrr too much glitter and this gross waxy smell. i just really dont like it that much.

I am not a lipstick girl, most often I just dab on some pink shadow and finish with a little lip balm, but when I do use lipstick instead I tend to reach for this one in nr.455. It's a light pink color, but not really nude-ish looking.
I like the texture of the product, how it feels on my lips and the smell/taste doesn't bother me at all since I think it's almost non-existing.
Oh, and I like using this color as a creme blush in wintertime! Blends great with my normal/slightly dry/non sensitive skin, looks natural and and leave a non-greasy finish.
The color isn't long-lasting but, for me using it in a pale color that doesn't put me of, I just put on more later on if I need to :)
To sum it up - it's working. I think it's kinda cheap, if I remember right, and I like the texture.

Quite possibly the worst lipstick I've ever used. Oily, thin and wore off within a half-hour. Also was too ashy a tone for my complexion (tried Brazil Nut). Would not repurchase. Revlon makes a nice d/s l/s if you're looking to go inexpensive.

PROS: Creamy, luxurious feel. Yummy, almost-chocolately smell. Reasonable price. Great color choices. Elegant packaging. ............ CONS: None, IMO.

I am not usually a lipstick wearer due to it looking very 'made-up', even in neutral type colours. I also don't like the oil taste! But I think for the colour in this product makes it all worth it.
It is very natural and I love the suggestions/colour guides to help you choose the right tone for your skin. I find that this doesn't last all day but definitely a few hours which is okay for me as the super long lasting lipsticks tend to dry out my flakey prone lips worse. It tends to stay quite well if I use a lip primer before hand. It is creamy and has a medium coverage. It looks really nice with a light application. I find that piling this on accentuate any cracks in the lips which I don't think any of us lovely ladies want.

The quality of this is bad. The coverage is medium - buildable. It doesn't apply evenly on my lips, and though it's not drying, the texture of it looks horrible on my lips. The shade 'tawny' makes me look dead.

My favorite lipstick is actually a Color Riche Lipstick, and it's in Tender Pink, which is pretty close to my natural lip color. I love these lipsticks, they are creamy, highly pigmented, and they last for a pretty long time. I like the packaging, it's very classy and it makes it look high end. The only thing is, I'm not a huge fan of the scent.. it reminds me of that old lady, grandnma, lipstick smell :P

While I love all L'oreal products, I especially love L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick. The colors are exactly as pictured and they go on so smoothly and wear well. Finding a safe lipstick was my greatest challenge.

love this lipstick- been using this formula since high school- more than 10 years ago. just bought some at dollar store! Great deal. Go stock up on all the shades.

The color is the only thing that prompts me to buy. Seriously this lipstick has lack of staying power. In Asia, L'oreal products are either made in Indonesia or China. Right now I ONLY buy those made in Indonesia as the quality of both product and packaging is somehow far more superior.
I found the made in China lipsticks I bought, had really poor quality of packaging and the texture felt really oily, sometimes even made my lips dry and itch.
This goes for their other made in China products as well (Mascaras, blushes, foundation, eye shadows etc) I somehow find the quality not satisfying at all, way, way below the standard of those L'oreal products sold in western countries (Usually made in Italy).
And by the way, the price of those made in Indonesia one is sometimes cheaper.

I love the L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipsticks and I am a self proclaimed lipstick addict. I, too,have tried all the higher end lipsticks like Chanel (very overrated except their gloss), EL, Lancome, MAC (love them, too) as well as all the D/S brands. This one has great pigmentation and I don't mind the smell at all. It dissapates quickly and I've gotten used to it. I love the creamy feeling and it lasts for being so moisturizing which is rare! Right now I am using Vagabond Mauve which is a great plummy, rose color. I'm sold on L'Oreal and think the quality is definitely there!

I did not like this lipstick at all. I bought it in a pink color, and to be honest with you I coud barely see it on my lips. I love matte, satin or creame lipsticks, but the quality of this lipstick is bad, it does have a nice smell, but i do not like how it looked on me. I gave it to my mom!!!

I love this lipstick. I have worn many different shades over the years and never been dissappointed, unless the color is just wrong for my skin, like Drumbeat Red. My favorite shades are Nature's Blush and Sunwash. I prefer this line to Revlons SL lipstick because of the range of neutral colors. And I may be the only person on the planet who actually likes the way this lipstick smells.

I really like this lipstick. I had to knock off a lippie for the frangrance (it's pretty strong), but I love the color range and the fact that it doesn't dry out my lips. Nice product - it's reliable, nice price, and I love the convenience of how available it is: if I have to run to the store to get it, I don't have to worry about going somewhere out of my way. Also, since it's so affordable, I can buy a ton of colors and not feel guilty if I only use it a handful of times. ;-)
