L’Oreal Paris had introduced 7 gorgeous red lipsticks, a red for every woman at the start of the year and it is most definitely one of the best makeup launches of 2015. There is not a single shade that I’m not fond of and almost all of the shades are extremely flattering for the Indian skintone.

Packaging
The L’Oreal Paris Pure Red Lipsticks are packaged in a glossy black lipstick casing with gold accents. They have a color coded button which is unique to the L’Oreal Moist Matte Range and eases identification. All the shades are endorsed by a particular celebrity and carries their signature which makes the packaging look oh so classy and sophisticated.

Texture
L’Oreal Collection Star Red Lipsticks
are one of the best and most comfortable matte lipsticks I’ve used till date. It has a velvety smooth formula which is creamy upon application and after 10 minutes or so settles into a matte finish. Though the texture is great, the biggest issue with these lipsticks is that these tend to break from the bullet and I’ve heard numerous such complaints from the readers. I would suggest not rotating out the entire bullet upon application as it is more likely to break then.

Shade
L’Oreal Collection Star Red Pure Scarleto is Blake Lively’s Red Lipstick. It is a bright and warm cherry red which is just so pretty. If you love rocking bright lip colors then this is right up your alley!

L’Oreal Collection Star Red Pure Rouge is Freida Pinto’s Red Lipstick. One of the best dupes of MAC Ruby Woo, this neutral red isn’t as bright as Pure Scarleto. Its one of the most flattering red lipsticks and will suit almost all the complexions especially the dusky beauties like our Frieda!

Pigmentation
Both the shades I would say are well pigmented and you get a good color pay off in say 1-2 swipes. These cover up lip pigmentation quite well and do not bleed. They do transfer a bit initially so best to blot your lips first. Almost all the shades in L’Oreal Paris Pure Reds range are nicely pigmented maybe barring Fire Ice.

Staying Power
L’Oreal Collection Star Red Pure Scarleto & Pure Rouge Lipsticks have a great wear time. Both the shades stay put for a good 5-6 hours and survive small meals & snacks. The lipsticks tend to stain the lips so you wouldn’t require an immediate touch up which is great for parties and functions as you wouldn’t want to be caught without some color on your lips right in the pictures? 🙂

L’Oreal Paris Collection Star Red Pure Rouge Lipstick Swatches & Review

Considering the high prices of makeup products these days, shelling 1000 bucks on these seem well worth it because of the high quality. However, with the bullet breakage being quite common, I wouldn’t want to take the risk and thats the only thing keeping me away from rating it a 5 star product!

PS: Luckily, none of my Pure Reds Lipsticks have broken yet!

Pros Of L’Oreal Paris Collection Star Red Pure Rouge & Pure Scarleto

1) Smooth and creamy texture which is easy to apply
2) Settles into a comfortable matte finish
3) Gorgeous reds which are extremely flattering
4) Well pigmented and cover lip pigmentation well
5) Great staying power
6) Classy packaging which I heart

Cons Of wa Pure Rouge & Pure Scarleto

1) The bullet tends to break in summers and would be a total heartbreak 🙁

HBM Rating
4 / 5(Reviewed by Lisha B.)L’Oreal Paris Collection Star Red Pure Scarleto & Pure Rouge Lipstick Review & Swatches

HBM Recommendation: L’Oreal Pure Reds Lipsticks are some of the prettiest red lipsticks I’ve seen. Both Pure Rouge & Pure Scarleto are 2 extremely flattering reds and with the great quality and texture I highly recommend it. The only problem is the bullet tends to break so I suggest being very, very careful with these babies during application.
