The SA let me buy some shades before the official release in the UK (16th April), of course this meant that I didn't get to swatch/test the colours before buying but I am pleased with my choices.
Available in 16 shade, I bought 2 of the more natural/sedate looking shades (£26 each).
#239 Frisson is a peach /apricot
#373 Rieuse is a warm pink (both shades have
a shine finish, though appear more satin if you wear them
lightly)
The colours are extremely opaque/pigmented (there is no
bleeding of colour), though also adaptable as you can wear
as a sheer wash or full on colour.
They apply really smooth, with a creamy, lightweight feel
however they really cling/hug onto the lips and are tacky
when you press your lips together. They have a long wear time which fades
evenly.
I really love that these feel moisturising and do not
leave lips feeling dry after wear.
Ingredients below (they are scented).
I bought these from Boots
I'm glad you like these, too! The opinions are rather divided in the blogosphere. Some say they don't wear that well, and others say they are sticky. On me they wear really well, and I really only find them slightly tacky. Overall I'm super impressed! I just bought Rieuse yesterday as well!
ReplyDeleteI can see Rieuse being one of their most popular ones :) I can undecided why opinions are divided, I have to say when I first tried them I wasn't keen but the more I wear them the more I like :)
DeleteI really like the look of Rieuse, will definitely have to check these out as the formula looks very lush.
ReplyDeleteIts a lovely shade, I bet you will find quite a few you like, they had some really nice deeper red/plum shades so I might go for one of the more dramatic ones next time :)
DeleteOh nooo Clare, what are you doing to me? I had decided to "kinda" pass on these for now (they've been out a few weeks here) but these 2 colors are right up my alley. Both you and Sunny are not helping me, not one bit!
ReplyDeleteLOL, well we do am to entice :) I'm surprised I like these really as don't usually like that clinging somewhat tacky feel, but the versatility of the colour depth and wear makes me overlook any minor grumbles :)
DeleteYou chose two really pretty colours. I only bought one of the Fluid Sticks so far, in the colour Artifice: it's a beautiful bright but wearable orange/red. I like how smooth and moisturizing these feel on, but I'm not a huge fan of the initial stickiness and transfer of the product onto every single cup of morning coffee.
ReplyDeleteYour right, they do transfer quite a lot, best not go round kissing lots of people ;)
DeleteI am going to have a look at the more deeper shades, looking forward to trying the nail polishes as well.
Both of the shades you chose look lovely! I have been curious about these and plan to pick up at least one soon xx
ReplyDeleteI can definitely see you in both these shades :) its a lovely selection though I felt like the majority of shades were more deeper/bright xx
Deleteyour colour choices are beautiful! I specially like Rieuse! so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteI did home in on the more natural looking shades :) there are some lovely reds in the line up though.
DeleteAhhh these are beautiful soft shades :)
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your shot of Rieuse as we're closer in skintone -- it's definitely going in my shopping cart come May (end of nobuy).
No buy is like a swear word isn't it :) Glad to entice you and thank you for your great review that gave me no choice but to pick some up :)
DeleteI gave in and bought one tonight. Instead of going for the uber bright colours I decided on Rose Tricheuse 669 instead, can't wait to try it out.I love the shades you picked out for yourself Clare, very you. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'll look forward to your review, I don't recall that shade so it might be one that I need to pick up as well :)
DeleteI love these! I have 8 out of 16 colours 😜
ReplyDeletewow, you must love them :) I've bought one more since this review and do have my eyes on a few others.
DeleteI really like both of those liquid lip colors!
ReplyDeleteI really like both of those lip colors!
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying them, I picked up a brighter one which I'll have to review soon, though do prefer these as they are a bit more natural :)
