Lancome Rouge In Love 146B Miss Coquelicot Review & Swatch

This is one of the new Lancome Lipsticks from their Rouge In Love range. It's a gorgeous coral tangerine shade with a glossy finish. It also has good coverage and is opaque in a couple of swipes. I find this lasts about 4-5 hours on me and has a balmy texture so is very comfortable to wear.


It comes in a small metal case and has a sweet floral scent but doesn't linger on the lips once applied. This lipstick sort of reminded me of Mac's Toxic Tale although it is slightly less bright and has a shiny finish instead of a matt one.

Lancome Rouge In Love 340B Rose Boudoir Review & Swatch



Lancome have just launched a new range of lipsticks called Rouge In Love with Emma Watson heading the campaign. I picked up shade 340B called Rose Boudoir. It's soft and creamy but still very pigmented. I also found this to be an almost exact dupe of Mac's Watch Me Simmer which sold out incredibly quickly!

Lancome French Touch Lipsticks Review and Swatches



I haven't heard much talk about these which are from Lancome's Spring Collection Roseraie des Delices. These are beautifully packaged in metal tubes with pistachio stripes a bit like candy canes. They also have a lovely balmy feel to them so don't dry out your lips like a lot of lipsticks.



It comes in 3 shades:

314 Rose Candy, 316 Soft Marshmallow and 318 Sweet Marmalade

314 Rose Candy is a super bright hot pink, it gives a decent amount of colour but it's still sheer (not creamy opaque coverage) so your lip colour shines through. I wouldn't call it glossy but gives a more natural shine. Very pretty.

318 Sweet Marmalade is my favourite of the bunch. It's a coral pink colour, very similar to Mac's Flamingo lipstick from the Iris Apfel collection that goes for crazy money on eBay. It has a lovely way of brightening the face without looking too obvious.

316 Soft Marshmallow is a cool baby pink, it's sheer but gives your lips a milky pink tinge. Looks lovely with a smokey eye.
