I've always wanted to try a mature red lipstick, so I tried out a lot of different ones and finally found this one. I finally found a red that suits me, and the case is luxurious and fun to use, so I'm excited. It does stain the cup, but the color stays on my lips well and doesn't look unsightly, so it's great. I can't wear it at work, so I'll enjoy it on my days off.
No matter how many different shades I try, this is the one I always come back to. It might be my personal destined color. It's the one that suits me best. It's my go-to lipstick for those special occasions. It's neither matte nor glossy. I don't like sticky shades, so this is the perfect lipstick for me. I love the packaging that pops out easily. I also think the color lasts pretty well. You don't have to reapply it multiple times; just one swipe and the color is vibrant. I think this color would suit any cool-toned person. The color payoff and variety of shades. I'm sure everyone can find something that suits them.
It was a mini size that came in a gift set. I'd put it aside for a while because it looked a little too red, but when I couldn't decide on a beige or nude lipstick I had, I tried patting this on top and it gave my face just the right amount of red, instantly brightening it up, so I've been using it more and more recently. The color is a nice blend of orange, beige, pink, and red, but it's not very shiny and doesn't feel very moisturizing, and the scent is reminiscent of old-fashioned foreign lipsticks, so I'm not sure about using it on its own.
I love 76 and buy it whenever I find it. It's a subdued orange color. It's velvety, but because it's a cream, it's non-drying and goes on smoothly. I hope it's restocked.
Personally, I find it extremely reassuring to have two shades of L'Absolu on hand, as it instantly brightens up my face and gives me confidence, even when I'm in a formal setting or unexpectedly invited to a party. It has a beautiful, elegant color without making my lips look chunky or conspicuous. It's also non-drying. The cream's color lasts a fair bit, but it doesn't wash off so easily that I don't mind not being able to look in the mirror for a while (I have a lip base). I don't buy multiple shades all the time, but just having this packaging makes me excited.
