I bought this in Rose Mademoiselle and I am not that keen on it. I think that the texture is great but the colour range is not good. I don't like the look that it gives xxx

I bought this in n. 04, Rose Mademoiselle, because I was attracted to the beautiful cold pink. Honestly, I don't like it that much. It should work as a lip care product, but I can't find any benefits from it in terms of moisture or softness. The color doesn't cover evenly and remains unstable. In addition, this is probably the only lipstick that bleeds on my lips.
This was a huge disappointment.

I love the revlon lips butters but I love these lipsticks even more as they have less glitter, they have a good amount of pigment some more than others I have three of these my favourite is lovely rose as its a bubblegum pink they feel butter soft on the lips definitely worth trying

I have bought this in two shades and feel quite different about them. Rebel Red is actually a very gorgeous, sheer transparent colour that can´t be overdone and just looks fresh. I´d give this 4 stars if it weren´t for the other one...Dating Coral feels like a different formula alltogether, it is not as light and sheer on application, instead the pigmentation is stronger in some places than others, so the result is quite uneven...I´d give this only 2 stars. In both cases, I like the smell (reminds me of sherbet) but the packaging looks cheap and the staying power is very poor, it wears off within an hour even if I don´t eat or drink anything!

I am sorry but these feel nothing like a caresse on my lips. I mean, the trend of creamy moisturising lipsticks is going on for over 2 years now and there are a lot of alternatives that in my opinion deserve the term "caresse".
I bought 2 shades since there was a discount for buying 2, the coral shade and a pink/lilac one. The colors were ok, but nothing extraordinary. The texture of the lipstick itself does not feel all that creamy or moisturising as I would have imagined....
I am disappointed.

Korres Mango Butter Lipstick High Shine SPF 10 is a FAR better alternative and I am sure there are many others.

I love this so much. I didn't expect them to be this good, I had high hopes for Revlon Butters but then none of them suited my colouring. They felt so heavy on my lips.

This were next to them and as soon as I swatched them on my arms I knew they would be good, because the texture is fine and sheer so I can reapply as often as I can, they are forgiving and lovely!

I bought Sweet Berry and Nude Ingenue, both are pale and not glitter whatsoever, smooth and shiny. I just love them and I hope they bring more colours as the ones I see in UK tend to be very bright and only a couple are wearable day to day.


Sweet Berry is a neutral colour polished and lush, and Nude is elegant, it doesn't wash out my lips as it's shiny finish, I usually hate nudes because they wash me out but this is lovely if you are scared of nudes try this shade it's so forgiving. It will change your mind about nudes :)

I love these lipsticks - I got two, one in Sweet Berry and one in Nude Ingenue. Out of the two the berry flavoured one is my favourite as it looks like a my lips but slightly darker colour - gorgeous! I'm not so fussed on the Nude Ingenue but that's because I tend to prefer pinky nude colours. The formula is very moisturising, and I personally prefer these to the Revlon lip butters. An added bonus is I don't have to apply gloss over the top of it because the finish is quite glossy already. They felt very comfortable on my lips and I would definitely buy again - in fact I think I'm going to pick up some more colours of these because I love them so much.

I bought this the other day in Dating Coral, I LOVE it, so pretty! It has a nice lightweight feel on the lips and also has a nice gloss/sheen. Going to go and purchase a few more colours to add to my collection. Only downside is you do have to reapply quite a lot but for me that isn't a deal breaker.

EDIT: I loved this so much I bought a few more colours Aphrodite Scarlet, a lovely pink/red but in my mind not a true Scarlet, and Impulsive Fuschia which is bright bubbly and very fun. I'm going to continue to collect these as they don't disappoint! The are quite drying on the lips but with a layer of balm they work well

I have this in 3 colours: Impulsive Fuchsia, Rock 'N Mauve and Hypnotic Red.

I can't compare them to Revlon Lipbutters, since they are not available where I live, but I was very excited to see these in my local drugstore since they seem to have identical claims.

The packaging looks nice, reminds me a bit of the Dior Addict Shine lipstick packaging (which is my HG glossy lipstick.) It is a clear tube, but what I love the most: besides the colour sticker with the name on it on one side, the other side has a metallic-y top in the colour range of the lipstick (so bright pink with Impulsive Fuchsia, purple on my Rock 'N Mauve etc.) Very convenient.

The texture is smooth and soft like a lipbalm, but still a good colour pay-off. not opaque, but not sheer at all, and very glossy. I have very pigmented lips, and the colours I mentioned above show up really well, they might be a bit brighter when you have less pigmented lips.

It has a fruity kind of scent (can't really tell what exactly since my hay-fever flared up terribly..)

Lasting power: decent, don't expect miracles. It is like a lipbutter/ lipbalm so these kind of lipsticks don't tend to have long lasting power, but don't mind reapplying at all.

The colour range is pretty decent too, they have bright, more bolder colours, esp. love my Rock 'N Mauve, since it is hard to find a nice wearable mauve colour, esp. with a DS brand. They do have more muted colours too if you are into that. The lighter colours don't show up on my pigmented lips, but I am used to bolder colours anyway.

The price is rather steep IMO, about 14/15 euro's. I usually only buy HE lipsticks, so compared to that they are a lot cheaper, but still.. For a DS brand I don't like to spend that amount of money. Thank goodness my DS has a lot of special sales (2nd half off etc.) on DS mu, so I waited to purchase mine when such a deal came along.

Comparison:
Dior Addict shine: colour pay off is more intense with the Dior one, partly because they also carry darker colours than the L'Oreal one. I like my Dior ones, prefer them actually (texture wise), but with quite a big price diff they are a good second, plus the Rock 'N Mauve L' Oreal one is awesome, and Dior lacks these kinds of colours, so it may be a tie actually..

To sum it all up:
Pro:
- Good colour range for a ds l/s, nice mauves etc. too!
- Lovely smooth lipbalm texture
- Nice glossy finish
- Good colour pay-off.

Con:
- Price, still rather steep for a ds l/s, rec to wait for sale
- Lighter colours don't have such a good colour pay-off when you have pigmented lips (not really a con if you like just a hint of colour)

I will def repurchase, maybe I will get some more, but only if I like the rest of the bolder colours (like cheeky magenta, rest is not for me.)

I have this in color 101 Tempting Lilac! I really like this product because this is not the usual lipstick. It's a mix between a lipstick and a gloss. The lipstick has a beautiful sheen and I find it's also moisturizing. The colour is perfect if you want just a hint of colour. I'm really pale but I have pretty pigmented lips and this colour is similar to them, just a little bit brighter.

I have this lipstick in Lovely Rose.
And it's the perfect color for my fair, cool skin tone.
Love the fact that the pigmentation isn't very high, love the subtle effect.
Downside; can make your lips a bit dry, so gently scrub your lips, moisturize with lipbalm and then apply the lipstick.
Another downside; the packaging seems a bit cheap.

I don't leave reviews very often but I think these lipsticks definitely deserve a bit more love!

I have really dry lips and find these to be really comfortable to wear - they glide on really easily and feel very smooth on. I think they're a lighterweight formula in comparison to the Revlon Lip Butters. I do find that I have to reapply quite often but I think you have to expect that with this type of product.

The colour range is great - I've picked up 6 out of the 10 (oops) while they're on 3 for 2 in Boots and Superdrug here in the UK.

I have Lovely Rose , Dating Coral, Cheeky Magenta, Impulsive Fuschia, Rebel Red and Aphrodite Scarlet.

Lovely Rose is a little bit too cool for my liking but I love all of the others especially Impulsive Fuschia and Aphrodite Scarlet.

There is also a nude, a bubblegum pink and a couple of mauvey shades available.

Definitely worth checking out especially while they're on promotion!

These are lovely, I bought shades Tempting Lilac, Aphrodite Scarlet and Cheeky Magenta- very pigmented and soft, apply like a lip balm with a slightly glossy look but with absolutely no stickiness.
The packaging is nice enough, however I find the fact that the L'Oreal logo has to fit perfectly into the slot on the lid to be a bit annoying, you have to fiddle to put the lid on properly.
Tempting Lilac is a lovely nude shade, almost my-lips-but-better. Aphrodite Scarlet is a beautiful red, perfect for someone like me who stays away from anything too bright. Cheeky Magenta is a bright pink, can be applied sheerly but can also be built up, as with all the others. Tempting Lilac is my favourite of the three I bought. Price wise I think £7.99 is mediocre for drug store lipstick, but I got these on 3 for 2, so £16 for three isn't bad at all...
Can't wait to try some more colours :)
EDIT: Wearing time: they lasted approximately an hour on me before needing to reapply.
