L’Oreal Colour Riche Intense Volume Matte Lipsticks – you might recognise the name of these lippies, but they’ve been repackaged into sleek, slimmer bullets and revamped to be much more than just a matte lipstick.

I have been trying out 4 gorgeous shades and I have to say the new slimline packaging is fab and the new formula is pretty special too.

The all new, L’Oréal Colour Riche Intense Volume Matte formula is more comfortable, more long wearing, and the shades are more beautiful. They say you can get up to 16 hour wear, but I drink too many cups of tea for my lipstick to EVER still be on my lips for that length of time. I will say that the colour is rich and long lasting, more so than many other matte lippies I have used.

What I like most of all is that they’re matte, and they’re not drying, matte lipsticks have come a long way in the past 10 years! Matte used to mean flat and uncomfortable. Not any more, think moisture and velvety soft.

L’Oréal achieves a beautiful creamy matte finish and the formula feels great on the lips and the colours and very rich. I think it is down to the fact that the, Colour Riche Intense Volume Matte range is formulated with a caring formula, infused with hyaluronic acid, to keep lips feeling moisturised all day.

New L'Oreal Color Riche Intense

Check out my old school lip swatches – circa 2010! The four shades I have are all easy to wear colours, a stunning red, a rosy pink and two everyday nudes. I honestly liked all four of them, although my mum has pinched the rosy pink (Activist 188).

So if you’re looking for a lightweight, matte lipstick which is that perfect mix of comfort and long wearing, this might be a range you want to check out! There are 12 shades in total, all of which are very wearable, no crazy colours. Oh & the slimline, black and gold packaging looks very luxurious and fab for popping in even the smallest of purses.

Lord & Berry Twisticks

I’m fuss free when it comes to lip products. I like to be able to apply them as quickly and trouble free as possible, preferably without a mirror & these cute Lord & Berry Twisticks* tick all the boxes for me. They fall into the category of sheer lipsticks in chubby crayon form and I’m sure I’ve told you I am a lip crayon addict.

Lord & Berry Twisticks* 

Lord & Berry boast that these are a 3 in 1 lip product with the moisturising benefit of a lipbalm, with the colour of a lipstick and a gloss finish. Doesn’t that sound perfect! These Twisticks come in 6 wearable shades, I’ve been trying out three shades, Must Have, Shut Up and Rock & Rose. These provide your lips with a vibrant splash of colour perfect for Spring/Summer, they feel nice and hydrating and for a glossy lip crayon their staying power is surprisingly good. Although if you feel the need to touch up these are fool proof to apply, no need to sharpen they have a twist up action which means hassle free lip colour all summer long, just perfect for popping in your handbag!

Lord & Berry Twisticks

Must Have – Is a pretty coffee coloured brown, this I think would look great on everyone & I have worn this a lot during the day. It looks effortless but still put together. Just a pretty everyday colour.

Shut Up – The name of this one makes me smile every time I reach for it. It is a gorgeous berry pink and I have a feeling this will be my go to colour this Summer. It gives my lips the prettiest wash of colour. One coat is enough, no need to build it up as the colour payoff is so good.

Rock & Rose – If you like pink lips then this is for you, its a gorgeous bright girly pink. I was a little scared of this shade at first but it was so nice on. With my fair skin & dark hair this shade really popped, it stood out but in a good way.

Rock & Rose, Shut Up & Must Have

All these colours are pigmented but not OTT, so don’t be afraid of having too bold a lip. They give just enough colour to make a statement, they will provide you with instant colour & hydrated lips. I think these would be great for travelling or dare I say it festivals. Its functional packaging means it is handy for on the go, I always have at least one shade in my handbag (who am I kidding I have at least 2). Oh & they don’t have a minty scent, in fact I don’t think they have a scent at all, so for me that gets a thumbs up. These are also paraben & talc free, so they won’t dry out your lips & they will stay glossy. Pucker up!

Are you a chubby lip crayon addict like me, or have your already tried these Lord & Berry Twisticks? Let me know which colour catches your eye.

Lord & Berry Twisticks are £13 each and available online from www.lookfantastic.com & I have seen a Lord & Berry stand in larger Next stores.
