L’Oreal Piggalle Scarlet (105), Montiagne Brick (103) L’Extraordinaire Mat

I am a matte formula lover these days, but there are days when my lips don’t agree with the formula. I mean when they are chapped and extremely matte lipstick would enhance the grossness, that time I turn to L’Extraordinaire Mat Lip Colors. I have reviewed Gullmet Fuchsia already, today I am going to share two more shades from the range – L’Oreal Piggalle Scarlet (105), Montiagne Brick (103).

Packaging is pretty simple and classy. A rose gold case with the shade peeking through the small window (don’t know what to call it) front & transparent bottom. These come with an oval shaped sponge applicator, which is saturated with color.

Shades – L’Oreal Piggalle Scarlet (105) is a classic red & Montiagne Brick (103) is a medium brick shade. It looks pink-neutral in the image above due to flash. In person both the shades are darker than how they appear in the swatches. I love both the shades, infact all the 3 shades I own (Including Gullmet Fuchsia) .

Texture & Formula – I would describe the texture as a velvet creamy matte lipstick. Its velvety when it glides on, smooth with no tugging or pulling, covering any chapped area and not settling in the fine lines. Being a creamy lip color it doesn’t bleed outside lip lines. I really like how pretty it looks post application. Finish is creamy which sets into semi-matte after a couple of hours.

Pigmentation – Both L’Oreal Piggalle Scarlet , Montiagne Brick are very pigmented. One stroke is enough to get even & opaque application of color, covering any pigmentation or discoloration.

Staying Power – On me both the shades stay on for 4-5 hours. The darker ones leave a slight stain and have a better staying power.

Overall Thoughts

If you are done with dry matte lipsticks and looking for a better forgiving formula than do give L’Oreal Color Riche L’Extraordinaire Mat a try. Both Piggalle Scarlet, Montiagne Brick are extremely pretty shades and would suit almost all skintones. Only downside for me is the price which is obviously on the higher side.
