L'Oreal Paris L'Or Lumier Moist Matt Lipstick - Flaming Kiss - Review & Swatches

After scorching the red carpet at Cannes, the L'Oreal Paris Moist Matt lipsticks from the L'Or Lumiere Collection are making waves all over. I have the lovely color Flaming Kiss that I wore in my Cannes Red Carpet outfit post.

Moist matt lipsticks come in a classy pale rose gold colored packing with a square showing the color of the lipstick outside (as you can see in the pictures)

The lipstick is smooth, very pigmented and non-drying. The shape of the bullet is a bit different from other lipsticks - slightly more rounded at the top.

Flaming Kiss is a bright bold red color. It looks a bit on the pink side in the bullet but goes on a bright red on the lips. You can see the swatch as well as how it appears on my lips.

I love the lipstick for the gorgeous red color, smooth texture. Now coming to the staying power, it stays on through a cup of tea and some light snacks but not beyond that. The only downside for me is that it does not stain the lips - so when it comes off your bare lips show through which looks horrible. The best way out is to use a staining red lip liner underneath the lipstick (or just reapply after your meal!).

The lipstick is priced at Rs 899 (4.2g)

I think this red would look good on most skin tones. The have a lot of variations of reds in the moist matt range so even if you think this is too bold for you I am sure you will find one that is meant just for you!

I am eager to try out other shades from this range. Have you tried any lippies from the L'Or Lumier collection - which shades do you recommend?

Outfit Post - Cannes Film Festival - Budget Red Carpet Look?

I was really not sure of doing this post and am still not sure if I should be... I was supposed to create a look for the red-carpet Cannes film festival - I had this really pretty look in mind, a flowy gown, a fantastic up-do and almost neutral eyes with bold lips. First off I don't have any gown in my wardrobe - now I don't get to attend these fancy red carpet events so never ever had the need to buy one. So I initially thought a saree would be nice but then the only full outfit post I remember doing was in a saree so well... there I go ranting on again.

Cutting it all short - here is what I came up with
