Colour Riche Le Balm

I've been obsessed with the whole tinted lip balm/lip butters/sheer lipstick craze, so I decided to check these out. The packaging is adorable- feminine, classy and decadent. I've carried this around in my pouch/purse, with no melting or caps coming off to be seen. The bullet of the lip product has the same slanted top as the Revlon lip butters. The bullet looks a vibrant, light pastel pink. You have to apply at least three layers of product to get a swatch on your hand to show any hint of pink. These have a brilliant, silky shine, but Pink Satin leaves a very fine hint of pink on the lips, if any. You must coat your lips at least three or four times to get any real sense of pink color. Pink Satin has a buttery, slightly greasey feel on the lips, with a beautiful shine, almost that of a gloss, and a hint of pink. A pink lip liner or lipstick would help make the pink pop, and Pink Satin would make a great gloss over that. I am dissapointed with the lack of pigmentation, especially since the product in the bullet is such a pretty pink. However, I still enjoy the product's feel and look, and its wear time is at the most 1 to 2 hours, way longer than Maybelline's Baby Lips. I don't feel a significant moisturizing effect, and it has a somewhat weird taste/and fragrance,( that I've read other Beautylish folks have found other L'oreal lip products to have) but thats alright. Will I be rushing out to buy every shade? No. But I'm content with Pink Satin, despite its lack of pigmentation. In a quick jiffie, this could even be used as a high shine, high lighter.
