L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Matte Obsession Lipsticks

Not content with wowing us with the Matte Lip Paints, L’Oreal Paris has added 9 velvety lipsticks to their matte offering.

Say hello to the Color Riche Matte Obsession collection, an oil-infused long lasting lipstick collection that delivers the finish of a true matte lipstick with the hydrating properties of a lip oil.

They kindly sent me 8 of the 9 shades to play with, and there are 3 firm favourites. The three on the left below are the ones I’ve added to my collection, as they work best with my skin tone. The overall shade collection is great, and all skin tones will be able to find a shade that works for them. (The shade they didn’t send me, Erotique, is below, too, for reference.)

The formula is super comfortable to wear, and lasts hours, even after eating. I prefer these to the Lip Paints because I find it easier to get a crisp edge with the traditional bullet shape, rather than the doe foot applicator.

They are R179.95 each and you can get them online here, as well as leading retailers.
