L'Oreal Extrodinaire Color Riche Liquid Lipsticks Swatches

I recently picked up the NEW L'Oreal Extraordinaire Color Riche Liquid Lipsticks and I thought it would be a great opportunity to do a swatch video so you could see how the lipsticks applied and to get a better idea of the colors.

If you haven't already watched the video make sure to check it out here:



I also thought this would be helpful in case you wanted to get a better look at how the colors looked not only zoomed in on the lips, but a full face look with each lipstick on. Because that's how I personally like to see swatches! This way if you are still undecided or didn't get the best look at a lipstick you had your eye on, you can see it here.
When I first applied the lipstick it immediately reminded me of the Maybelline Elixer Lip Colors  that I did a First Impressions Video on at the end of December. If you missed that video you can watch it HERE  . The products are very similar and fall between the same price range retailing around $9.

According to the site these lipsticks are "Rich in Color. Shines. Smooths"
The packaging is a beautiful gold color, one of my favorites. With a color display on side and bottom. Although this isn't a look at the actual product inside, the colors look pretty true to color to the actual product inside. The lip colors do have a sweet scent. I don't find it as strong as the maybelline elixirs though.

In the video you can see in real time how the color transferred on to my lips. Some colors streak, some are opaque and others are more sheer. Below I've added some up close shots of application and overall full face photos of each of the colors.

New Maybeline 'The Buff' Color Sensational Lipstick Swatches

   
 I recently posted a video for the New Maybelline "The Buffs "Color sensational lipsticks giving my overall opinion and quick review of what I thought of each color.

There are 10 colors in "The Buffs" collection, but I didn't pick up all 10. I decided to stick to the colors I thought would work best for me and my skin tone and skip on the colors that weren't too appealing to me.

What I love about these lipsticks is that they have a nice consistency which is very important to me. But even more important is that they have great pigmentation and are moisturizing. 

They are not long lasting. Like most lipsticks you have to re-apply after eating or drinking. After trying them out I found that my lips were not chapped or dried from the lipstick.

Here are closeups and swatches of the 7 colors I tried:

   
First color is 915 blushing beige this color is very Kim Kardardashian! It's a really light nude color that made me think of her signature lip.

This color is 920 nude lust . this has a slight pink color to it thats not too overwhelming.

930 Truffle Tease  was the third color I tested. This is the color begins to go into the brownsie type of nudes. And is actually the type of color I like to try to create on my own with my lipliners.

I really loved how 935 Sin-a-mon  made my teeth look white and just like 930 Truffle Tease  it is more on the brown side of the nude collection.

 With 940 Touchable Taupe I noticed that it was thicker and creamer. This would be more of a fall color for my skin tone.

 Just like 940 Touchable Taupe,  945 Stormy Sahara is thicker and creamer than the others. This color has more of a peach undertone than a brown though. I think this would look nice as an everyday color in Spring!

 For some reason 955 Expresso Exposed didn't apply as I would have liked, but none the less I like the vampy  deep color! This is another great one for the Fall. And of course I love how it really made my teeth look white!


Overall I really liked the 7 colors I tried from "The Buffs" collection. A mix of great colors to wear everyday and a few especially good for spring and fall!
