L’Oreal Collection Privée Colour Riche TIFF2013 Lipsticks Coming Your Way This Fall!

L’Oreal Paris is the Official Sponsor of the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival 2013. Yay! And when you’re a makeup brand you of course create an official TIFF Collection to commemorate, right? Today I’m going to show you the Collection Privée Colour Riche Lipsticks inspired by a few of the celebrities that we see in L’Oreal campaigns: Doutzen Kroes, Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria, and Freida Pinto.

Collection Privée Colour Riche Lipsticks

The packaging is gorgeous on these lipsticks! I really love the gold detail on them and the brushed black casing.

These Collection Privée Colour Riche Lipsticks are all nudes and the whole idea behind the collection is that each lipstick was made for these gorgeous ladies. So if you have the same colouring as JLo, then her nude lipstick will suit you too. L’Oreal’s message is “Dare To Go Bare: Made-To-Measure Nude Couture To Affirm Your Femininity And Sharpen Your Powers Of Seduction.” I don’t know about you, but I am really digging how brands are making nude lipsticks seem so fierce and empowering this year!

Ok, enough talk, let’s look at the lipsticks!

Pretty, yeah? Here’s another shot of them in the sunlight:

All of the L’Oreal Collection Privée Colour Riche Lipsticks are sheer with a glossy finish, although I found Eva’s to be pretty pigmented actually. Frieda’s has a bit of sparkle, and I’m not sure but I THINK By Doutzen does as well? but it’s so hard to see in a colour this pale.

L’Oreal Collection Privée Colour Riche Lipstick By Doutzen is the faintest, most prettiest sheer pink lipstick I’ve ever seen. For the palest of pale skins, this shade would be the perfect nude! It’s so pale though and my lips are pretty pigmented, so I find a pale pink lipliner really helps me wear this shade. Marky likes this one the best on me-she says it’s the perfect nude for me:

First of all it would be crazy not to mention right from the start the exterior of this product.  The contrasting use of the hot pink background with black writing screams “look at me”.  Not really my cup of tea (don't know why I compared it tea, seen as I don't like tea either :0P ), but following the "never judge a book by its cover" rule lets be honest its really the end result that counts.

PRO & CON - The tube is very wide making it very hard to lose in an over filled makeup bag. / It takes up more space in a makeup bag, which could be a problem if you are travelling and have limited space.

It was the advertisement in my local Boots showing the unusual wand (thick bristled mascara wand with a ‘gladiator mace ball’ on the end) that made my mind up to buy and try out this mascara.  However when I got it home and pulled the wand from the tube to have a look at it, the whole of the wand was straight and the bristles are not that thick.  There was a gap of trimmed to the stub bristles between the division of what I am guessing should be the wand and the ball.  There were also no bristles on the tip of my wand.  Not sure if I picked up a dodgy one???
