L’Oreal Cassis Passion Color Riche Lip Color Review Swatches

L’Oreal Cassis Passion Color Riche Lip Color ( Rs 785/- for 4.7 g) available at MyntraLOreal Color Riche Lip Color Cassis Passion (2)LOreal Color Riche Lip Color Cassis Passion (3)L’Oreal SaysColor Riche Made for Me is enriched with Vitamin E and helps to protect your lips from drying. It has a soft and creamy texture and it leaves lips feeling moisturised, smooth with a stunning finish.

Shade – L’Oreal Cassis Passion is a rich pink shade bordering towards magenta.

PackagingThe shiny light gold color is what attracted me to this color in the first place. I went over, checked the shades, got bowled over by this one, and picked up. It has a strong clasp which shuts with a click, and is very travel-friendly.

Texture and PigmentationThe texture of L’Oreal Cassis Passion, again, is a major winner. It glides on very smoothly and goes opaque in one go, which means I don’t have to work at it for a long time. There is no bleeding, flaking or drying of the lips. This is a very hydrating shade and it has quite good pigmentation which goes opaque in one coat and intense in a second one. In all the pictures I am wearing only one coat of the lipstick.

Color and Staying PowerThe color L’Oreal Cassis Passion is an absolute winner. It looks much darker in the bullet form, but on my lips it’s a clear berry-tinged pink with a slightly creamy finish bordering on gloss, which is super flattering against my skin tone. Although apparently it is meant for blondes, I realized I could totally rock this shade, and it looks very good against my NC 42-43 skin tone. The staying power is also quite good – 4-5 hours easily and yes, it does not flake or fade. If I eat, it leaves behind a pink stain which looks great on me. However, repairing is a good thing after dinner.

Overall Thoughts

Although L’Oreal claims that this shade is for blondes, I sort of fell in love with it on one of my trips around the shop and I do not regret the purchase at all. It makes my lips look incredible, and it is such a gorgeous color for the Fall season. Full marks for the color, pigmentation, packaging and hydration.

Ratings – 5/5

    A really nice, moisturizing lipstick in a lovely neutral color which goes with everything. Great for daytime and evening.

      Actually, it looks neutral here because I am wearing only one swipe… two gives a very intense color, which I am slightly unsure about pulling off. But do check this one out. 🙂
