L'Absolu Rouge Ruby Cream

nice brown nude

The shade 274 in the L'acquer is super popular in China for being a "milk tea" color. I was expecting the same of the lipstick but it's a bit darker. I love collecting lipsticks so this is a decent packaging, not super heavy weight though. There is a fragrance to the lipstick and the shape of the ruby will disappear within 1-2 use (as expected)

On the pricey side for me as I'm new to wearing a lot of lipstick, but the beautiful packaging caught my eye. A lot of the pictures are misleading; I got Coeur de Rubis expecting a good nude, but it was very bright and tawny. The best picture for this shade was the one showing what it would look like on the three different shades of skin. Mine looks exactly like the top one, very non-nude if you ask me. I guess the thing to remember is that these shades are all takes on red/ruby, so if you're not into red, they may seem like too much. The smell is sweet/creamy/powdery, which I liked. The pigmentation is SUPER heavy and this lipstick did not budge all day. The texture is thick and luxurious, not lightweight. I even got a compliment, telling me that it is attention-grabbing but flattering. I like it a lot and plan to get another in a medium red shade.

I was a little disappointed with this lipstick. The plastic casing looks/feels cheap and flimsy. The lipstick itself has a waxy scent to it. It’s smells like cheap dollar store lipstick used to smell like. I will not put this on my lips. Will probably return.

The best lipstick

Love this lipstick, it’s very pretty and soft and doesn’t move around. I just really wish it came in more colors.

lovely lipstick

I received this product in a free trial, but would definitely buy this! It wears so nicely and is a great product.
