There are 9 different shades in the L'Extraordinaire range, including both nudes and brights, and come with a soft, doe foot style applicator wand. Each lipstick contains a mix of four oils (argan, lotus flower, camelia seed and rose canina fruit) to help moisturise and nourish lips while wearing the product and to give a high intensity shine when on the lips.
I really like the packaging of these lipsticks - it looks quite expensive and I love the fact there's a little window in each of the casings so you can get a really good idea of what the shade will be without needing to crack into the testers.
The pigmentation is good, although I would say these are more like highly pigmented glosses rather than full on lipsticks. I often wear matte finish lipsticks which always give a really good colour payoff, so while these aren't as pigmented as a matte lippie, you definitely get a good high-shine colour on the lips.
Because they are so shiny, I don't find them that long wearing - they do leave a slight stain behind, but if you're planning on eating or drinking much while wearing these, you'll definitely need to re-apply afterwards.
I'm not a massive fan of glossy lip products as I prefer a matte finish, but if gloss is more your thing, then these make a good budget version of the YSL Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Lip Stains. At £8.99 each, they're a lot cheaper than the YSL ones and although not an exact dupe, definitely provide a similar finish!
You can find the L'Extraordinaire lipsticks in Boots and Superdrug stores. Do you like the sound of liquid lipsticks?

I didn't realise these contained all those oils to be so nourishing. I like the look of these but not sure if I could be bothered to constantly re-apply (I'm always eating or drinking something haha) xx
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried these, but I do love the Maybelline ones!
ReplyDeleteI like the packaging too, easy to she what shade your looking for. The middle shade is pretty

I reviewed these recently and I absolutely love them. I've found that I do apply after eating and drinking which is perfectly acceptable but after that the colour stays put x
ReplyDeleteThese look a little too glossy for my tastes - I tend to prefer a more matte lip, too. The shades are pretty, though!
