You’ll see from the swatches below what I mean about control concern – the finish is satin but looks glossy on the foot – but once on the lip, all is good. In fact, I’m really impressed with their vibrancy and the hold, and believe me, they are a comfort wear. I found I needed to top up after a couple of hours.
The L’Occitane Pressed Fruity Lipsticks aren’t at all drying – the formula uses fruit and vegetable oils (pomelo, carrot and grapefruit) as well as vitamin E so even for a near matte satin, as these are, lips feel flexible and soft. It’s really a very pleasant formula to wear – looks bright, feels light, is how I would sum it up and easily one of the best liquid lipsticks I’ve tried in terms of ease of wear.
From bottom to top: Spring Sunrise (which I have really fallen for!), Pomelip, Pomelove and Carrose. I could wear all of them, colourwise. They’re £20 each HERE and are exactly the right thing for brighter spring light and putting a skip in your step. Non-affiliate HERE.
POMELIP – a natural shade of pink perfect for spring
CAROSSE – a vibrant coral shade, evocative of the Provence sunrise
SPRING SUNRISE – a deep shade of pink for a bold look
POMELOVE – a true red shade to make a dramatic impression
