Makeup Review: L'OREAL Colour Riche Balm

So usually I do posts on luxury items, this time I wanted to change it up and review a more drugstore product that is really good. There's hits and misses at the drugstore, we all know how that is.  One product I was surprised I ended up really liking was the L'OREAL Colour Riche Balms.

L'OREAL is a huge company and owns a lot of the higher end brands such as Lancôme, Giorgio Armani, Yves Saint Laurent Beauté, Biotherm, Kiehls, Shu Uemura, Urban Decay, Ralph Lauren, Maybelline, NYX, Kérastase & Essie just to name a few :) L'OREAL's drugstore products are probably the best in quality out of other drugstore brands, they are also more of the expensive drugstore lines.

L'OREAL Colour Riche Balm

These tinted lip balms are one of my favorites from the drugstore...they deliver good amount of conditioning to the lips without any tackiness (if you hate that) , they go on smoothly and have a pleasant faint vanilla/candy type smell as well :)

Made with jojoba and shea butter to hydrate and nourish the lips, it is said to last up to 8 hrs (softening your lips that is) condition the lips even after removal. The tint of colour is very sheer just to be clear, but they do show up... just very sheer, unless you layer them. Some have more pigment to them compared to others, especially the new vibrant colours that have been added lately.

L'OREAL Colour Riche Balm

Colours available are : In above picture, Left to Right;  "Plush Plum" darkest of the colours available, a pinkish plum tone with shimmer. "Heavenly Berry" a berry pink. "Tender Mauve" a light lilac/mauve with some shimmer. "Caring Coral" a light orange coral. "Rose Elixir" rosy pink. "Pink Satin" a light baby pink. "Nourishing Nude" a pink toned nude.
Other colours available which I do not have at the moment.. "Wild Lily", "Bold Blush", "Fiery Red", "Electric Pink"&  "Caramel Comfort",

I really recommend these for those who would like the idea of the YSL sheer candy balms but don't like the price, or anyone who would like a good quality sheer tinted balm. I use these balms whenever I'm in a rush to go out the door or I just have a very basic or simple look on & need just a little something on my lips. I tend to put these on at those times instead of taking time out to go through my lip stash & pick out a higher end lip colour.

You can purchase these for $7.99 USD on www.lorealparisusa.com , www.ulta.com or any other drugstores near you. For Canadians these are about somewhere $9.99 or up. You can find it at London Drugs, Shoppers Drug Mart, Walmart etc. :)

I hope you all enjoyed this review/recommendation! Let me know what your thoughts were & if you have any further questions feel free to comment or email me!
