L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Balm, 218 Rose Elixir, 0.1 oz.

Love all the Colour Riche Lip Balms. They are so buttery, smooth, moisturizing, addictive! Great value because they run about $4 to $7 dollars. I love these WAY more than the popular Sugar line of balms by Fresh cosmetics that sell for $20-$25 a piece. They are not as tinted but they are buildable. One swipe, is just for moisture and barely a hint of color. When I really pile on a lot of product, I look like I have a lacquered lip gloss on. It can really get glossy but without the stickiness of actual lip gloss. So VERSATILE! These have a very pleasant fragrance as well, sweet, sugary, and caramelly. All the colors have the same fragrance. YUM!Rose Elixir is probably the most popular color and is always sold out everywhere. I found them on Amazon for $5.99. They are $6.99 at my local store. If you're darker or prefer a more nude color, 818 Nourishing Nude is fantastic and my everyday go-to color. When I'm tanned, 818 Nourishing Nude even looks pinkish on me, where and 218 Rose Elixir becomes too light and doesn't show. But they're all great. Coral, Bright Pink, Mauve, Caramel...Love them all!!!I'm so happy to have found them on Amazon! Some of the colors are even available on Subscribe and Save so you have the option to have these develivered regularly to your house for a discounted price. I really like that I can have them delivered to my house and feel confidant that no one opened it the package and tried it on at the store. Thanks Amazon!

I've always been a Chapstick-and-go type of girl. I find lipstick too much of a hassle to maintain, and lip gloss is just asking for streaks of hair gloss all over your face. I've tried various lipsticks/glosses over the years, mainly because I hate how my foundation tends to smudge a bit around my lips throughout the day, but I hadn't found something that I really LOVED.... until I found this.This "balm" in "Caramel Comfort" (color 819) is the most natural, almost-nude color I've found, and the texture of the balm itself is absolutely perfect. It's basically a tinted chapstick/lip balm, but it feels so velvety smooth, keeps your lips moisturized, and adds that touch of color that you want, without being overbearing or unnatural. I have never found any other product that works as amazingly as this balm, and it's become one of my "always in my bag" items (possibly also a "one at the office, one at home" item soon, too).If you're also a chapstick/lip balm-only girl but want that slight touch of color to perfect your look, give this a shot and don't look back!If my review has helped you in any way, please let me know, or hit "Yes" under this review. Thank you! :)

I have this in another color and love it. When I saw this one on amazon I wanted to try it as I find this to be my HG lip product.The color on this was a lot lighter than I expected. It seemed more beigy/sandy and to me it looked darker on the pictureMy lips have a natural rosy hue so this did not provide any color for me. I love the line of balms however. The are creamy, smooth and do not feather or wear off unnaturally. I just have to adapt to the color on this particular one.I will give this 5 stars for the product..but as far as color I would only give 3 as for me there is none. Just a sandy shine which doesn't go well with my coloring. . The other ones however do add a great sheer color that I adore.Colour Riche is the only color I use on my lips. It has been love at first wear.

I had read about these new Le Balm glosses, and, being the lipstick/lip balm junkie that I am, wanted to try them out. I'm cool and fair-toned with reddish-brown hair and plum colors generally look good with my complexion, so I thought I would get Plush Plum. I really like it! If you have cool tones to your skin, this color would look good on you.These seem to me like L'Oreal's answer to Revlon's Lip Butters; this is a really soft, moisturizing balm that feels good on the lips. Unlike the Lip Butters, these also have an SPF of 15, which is something I generally look for in a balm. Sometimes lip balms with sunscreen can also have an icky sunscreen taste to them, but this one tastes like a normal lipstick does. It also has a nice consistency for summer.The Plush Plum has the slightest amount of shimmer to it, but it's something that, as a forty-year-old woman, I'd still feel comfortable wearing to work. The color is light enough that you can apply it with no mirror, which is exactly what I was hoping it would be like; I like to have tinted balms that I can quickly grab out of my purse and apply without a mirror.I really like this and see more in my future!

I purchased the plush plum color and have been very pleased with it. Against pale and freckly skin it's looking more like a raspberry color than a plum or cranberry. So it has more pink than I initially envisioned but the color still looks nice. At initial application your lips have a little bit of a moist/sheen look to them. I've found this fades to a more matte look in about an hour and that I have to reapply within 3-4 hours. The balm has been conditioning which is a nice change from lipsticks which tend to dry my lips out.So overall this product is: moisturizing, has a pleasant and natural wash of color, has a very light fragrance when first applied and does require re-application after several hours of wear. I like it enough to have just ordered a second one in the nearly nude shade.
