Picking a nude lipstick out from the drugstore can be a bit of a hard task, so L'oreals new collection of purely nude lipies is quite an exciting concept.
L'oreal teamed up with six of their celebrity spokespersons to create a nude lipstick to suit each individual woman, taking into consideration their skin & hair colouring etc & created the 'Collection Privée' line. The idea of this collection is that with the help of the celebrity spokespersons representing each shade, it will help women to find their perfect nude lipstick.
It's a light dusky pinky beige shade, that happens to be the exact same colour as my lips. The formula is quite sheer, which for a lipstick in the higher price bracket of the high street (£8.19) isn't great. On the other hand you don't need a mirror to apply & it does feel quite moisturising on the lip.
The scent of the lipie is quite strong like all L'oreal lipsticks, I think it smells of very floral sweets like Parma Violets!? Or as I've heard others call it 'the granny smell'. So if you have an aversion to strong scented lipies it's probably best to give these the sniff test before you buy.

| Swatcehed heavily 10+ times to get the colour pay off on the right. |
The standard Loreal golden lipstick packaging has had a spruce up for this collection. It has a matte black casing that feels very reminiscent of Nars blushes packaging, this is unfortunately a magnet for finger prints.
Each lipstick has the chosen spokespersons signature which I think is a nice touch.
One thing I must mention is that I've heard that in America or Canada you can not buy 'Cheryl's
Nude'. In those countries it is replace by 'J-Lo's nude (I'm so jealous, I do love me some J-Lo) . But I'm sure you can find plenty of Cheryls shade online on ebay etc.
So to sum up - Good concept, pretty packaging, but very sheer colour pay off.

Wish I could have this color! J-Lo's nude is a bit too dark for me. But this looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteAww really, want to trade? Haha xx
DeleteI picked up Julianne's nude and really love the shade. This one looks beautiful too.

Julianne's nude is the more pink toned one isn't it? That one did look gorgeous! xx
DeleteOk, don't you hate it when you buy a lipstick and it's the EXACT color of your lips?! It's like you just spent money so your lips could look like...your lips, LOL! That being said, this is a lovely color and it's always good to have a swipe n' go option. Yes, we Yankee Doodle Dandies do not have Cheryl's nude here, which is too bad b/c it looks like one I'd really like!
ReplyDeleteYes I do haha, in the tube I thought I was onto a winner but on the lips :/ not so much haha. To be fair it is a perfect lipie to pop in your handbag.xx
Deletethis looks really pretty, but bummer that it's not as amazing as you'd hoped. i'm still on the hunt for a wearable nude that won't make me look sickly haha
