L'Oreal Balmain Lipsticks

Now I have to admit I'm not a fan of L'Oreal. The majority of their products do not appeal to me and that's before you even get on to the company itself, which I cannot stand, especially their views on animal testing. Yes, L'Oreal do test on animals, no matter what people at L'Oreal counters will try and tell you. As they sell in China, they have to test on animals. End of. I do happen to love Urban Decay, which unfortunately L'Oreal own.

Very occasionally and I do use the word very as it doesn't happen very often, L'Oreal will release a product that ends up being on my must have list. This year one of those products happens to be the lipstick collaboration they did with Balmain. L'Oreal basically teamed up with the French fashion house to bring out a mini collection of lipsticks in a range of different colors. The packaging also looks great too - blue or green packaging with Balmain written on it. It's got a really unique and fancy feel to it too.

I got two colors - purple and a brown grey. The pigment in them was great and they went on my lips nice and smooth too. As the pigment was good I didn't have to apply layer and layer of color either. Even though my lips were dry, these ones didn't dry them out at all. I did have to reapply some of the color later on in the day too as some of it had come off.

Even though I despise L'Oreal, I do think that these lipsticks are quite good and I recommend anyone try them. They also come in a good range of colors with a color to suit everyone.
