L'Oreal x Balmain Color Riche Lip Collection


L'Oreal Paris has launched the very edgy special-edition Balmain Color Riche Lip Collection, available first on Zalora.sg. The collection of 12 matte couture shades was designed by Olivier Rousteing, themed to embody the 3 facets of the Balmain woman (or man): Glamazone, Rock, and Couture.

These lipsticks are available in singles at S$28 or in themed sets of 4 at $99.

The Rock series features blue marbled tubes trimmed in gold, and the colors are muted Winter tones. Perhaps the most outstanding shade here is the royal blue, 901 Rebellion, which is exactly the color of the outer tube.


Like many other blue lipsticks, the color will go on more translucent and not as dark as it looks in the tube, but I'm happy to report that it wears quite evenly on the lips, and is actually a touch more wearable than you might think!

The Glamazone collection features muted Autumn tones of pumpkin, beige, greige and khaki green. I have a complexion more suited towards Winter tones, so I'm more partial to the two other lip color series naturally. But I'm drawn to 648 Glamazone just because the sludgy shade is almost a perfect match to my grey Proenza Schouler satchel.


The last series is Couture, and arguably the most wearable of the 3. If I had to pick a set of 4 to buy, this would be it, because I can see myself wearing all of the colors.

246 Confession is a beautiful soft peachy nude shade, and 355 Domination is a classic deep ruby red that would look good on most complexions.


Even 356 Confidence, which I expected would be odd-looking, turned out to be a pretty interesting alternative to a boring nude. The collection is matte, but I would call these comfortable low-sheen satins more than matte-mattes. Which makes 356 Confidence interesting because it's a non-glossy veil of pearlescent gold flecks that mute your lip color and add a gossamer "stardust" effect without looking shiny or feeling sticky.

I would suggest girls with pigmented lips try this out with a smoky eye. You can also layer this over other lipsticks or liner if you use a brush for application.

L'Oreal x Balmain 356 Confidence
 One happy note I will add is these lipsticks are very nicely-made and none of the 12 I received smooshed against their tubes during application. It's a pet peeve of mine when you get a gorgeous lipstick and there's this ribbed dent on the back when it pushes against the inside of the tube.

A couple of the deeper shades go on slightly patchier, which is understandable (Power and Liberation especially) but they do even out quite well.

I am just excited that a drugstore line is collaborating with a couture brand to come up with daring trendy colors, because this is something that we typically see only from the edgier brands like MAC. There's a bit of a move to make trendy, couture shades more affordable and accessible for consumers without having to fork out $30-50 for similar colors from MAC, MAKE UP FOR EVER, or Dior.

  1. Couture definitely looks like the most wearable set - how gorgeous is Confidence? I don't have anything like that in my collection!

    4. Hello everyone, I am writing this Testimony because I'm grateful for what STANTA Funding Group did for my family and me. When I thought there was no hope, this loan company came and made my family feel alive again by lending us a loan at a very low-interest rate of 2%. Well, I have been searching for a loan to settle my debts for the past three months; all I met scammed and took my money until I finally met a God-sent Lender. I never thought that there were still genuine loan lenders on the internet, but to my greatest surprise, I got my loan without wasting much time. So, if you are out there looking for a loan of any amount, I would advise you to email Mr. Santa, via: creditosantajusta@gmail.com or call/text/Whatsapp +1 (659) 210-0433.

  9. Because apparently, it works on boobs, too. Anything claiming to fit both penis and breast is either a human mouth or lying (and not nearly as much fun).

  13. I'm here to applaud the good work of Dr Amber that has really been wonderful doing good with his magical spells. I usually play the lottery but coming up with a big win has never been my thing not until I came in contact with Dr Amber who a lot of people have been so thankful to for his miraculous doings. I told Dr Amber that I needed to win the Lottery in a big way that Lottery winnings have never favored me from the very start. He explained to me that not everyone is luckily blessed to win the Lottery but with his spells, he can make me a Lottery winner and I agreed to what he said. He prepared the spell for me and told me the exact ticket to pick that made me a winner of £180,000,000 MILLION POUNDS. I made sure Dr Amber had 10% from my winnings because indeed his spells are magnificent. Thank you sir for all you do. Anyone out there that needs help in any area of life can Email Dr Amber via: amberlottotemple@yahoo.com or amberlottotemple@gmail.com or go to: amberlottotemple.com
