L'Oreal Colour Riche Balms Review

Originally I had gotten these Balms first before any of the Revlon Lip Butters.  There are 8 available shades.  I only have 5 and I will explain why in a bit.  Colors I have are Nourishing Nude, Carmel Comfort, Rose Elixir, Caring Coral and Heavenly Berry.  



The packaging is very similar to the Caresse sticks that I LOVE right now.  Just like the Lip Butters, the top is a color indicator and is transparent.  I really like L'Oreal's lipstick packaging.  It's very sleek and classy.  





I really like the texture, very creamy and moisturizing.  More so than the Lip Butters but the color pigmentation is not all that great.  So if you are looking for something that will have some pigmentation, these are not for you.  There is a very slight color payment and if not for the flash on my camera, each shade looks nearly the same on the lips.  For $6.99-8.99 for these, it's quite expensive for a balm.  I do keep a few of these in my makeup bag but these will last me forever because I don't use them everyday.  I had gotten all mine months ago when Rite Aid had the BOGO 1/2 off, plush I had +UP rewards and coupons.  I don't remember how much I paid for these but it wasn't full price which is good because I don't think it is worth paying almost $8 at a drugstore for these.  I do know Target has these for $6.99 but even that is too much for these.  If you can get these on sale, I would recommend getting one.  If you have tried the Caresse sticks, you will like this for a simple everyday lightly tinted balm.  I do enjoy these.
