Oh how I do love lipstick, it never used to be a product I got excited about, but all that changed when I found quite a few formulas and shades I actually felt comfortable wearing. Lancome is one of those brands that I have really enjoyed getting to know for both their skincare and their every increasing makeup range. So, when this collection of L'absolute Rouge lipsticks landed on my doorstep, there was a bit of a squeal because they are just beautiful.
The L'Absolute collection of lipsticks spans more than 30 shades is described as being a cult lipstick, one which has everything from perfect nudes to intense reds and luminous pinks and they come in three different finishes:
- SHEER: a buildable sheer colour with a subtle shiny finish
- CREAM: a creamy luminous satin finish
- MATTE: a comfortable creamy matte finish
So whatever finish you like on your lipstick, there is definitely something for everyone within this range. It is also worth noting that all 3 textures are formulated with what is referred to as being a moisture-boosting Pro-Xylane™which leaves your lips feeling hydrated, soft and comforted.
It is hard not to be wowed by this trio, everything from the outer box packaging, which is the shimmery silver cardboard box to the actual lipstick bullet itself is just stunning. The lipstick comes in a clickable bullet and by pressing the well-known rose logo, it releases to showcase the most amazing looking shades of lipstick which are all embossed with the word Lancome.
Within this trip of lipsticks, I have shades 367 Final Bouquet, 393 Rose Rose and 132 Caprice and each one of them has a different finish.
- 367 Final Bouquet has a sheer finish and it is a beautiful clear pink shade
- 393 Rose Rose has a matte finish and is very much a bright bubblegum pink
- 132 Caprice has a cream finish and it is an incredible classic red shade
Already in this gift set, there is an incredible mixture of shades which should have something for everyone, depending on your preference. What I love is that these shades are just incredibly pigmented, long lasting and at the same so hydrating it is like wearing a balm too.
I was kindly sent these lipsticks from World Duty Free who have an incredible range of products from every thinkable brand. Each lipstick if purchased separately retails for £21.20 and they are worth absolutely every single penny.
