These Loreal lipsticks have been my favourite red lippies for the last few years. I alternate between all of lipsticks so they last longer but they are finally getting low. The one on the left is COLOUR RICHE TRANSPARENT RED #96, and is a light and shimmery red, not overwhelming or too much. The right is COLOUR RICHE STAR SECRETS, NATALIE IMBRUGLIA #702, it’s darker but still shimmery. I bought these for $5 each in a cheap store but after all these years these colours are no longer available through Loreal. 🙁
So I went in search of light red lipsticks but all the brand names are over $20 and really, if you can’t stock up on sale or when they’re cheap, then you miss out.
However, I found an American brand called Jordana and found CRANBERRY #076 is almost a perfect match to the light shimmer shade of red.
I also bought BURGUNDY #009 on the right. A similar colour with a touch of pink.
I also bought three shades of pink as my pink lippie was almost flat. Left is ROSETTE #050, middle is VIN ROSE #111, and right is PINK ICE #042.
This one I got a year ago for $5 and is MAYBELLINE WINE ON ICE A78 and is a really nice pinky red.
I plan on stocking up on the Jordana lipsticks in as many shades as possible that suit me, which not many shades do and I’m not into matte lippie, so for $6 each, made in America and they smell really nice when you open them, they are an absolute bargain I plan on taking full advantage of!
Don’t you just hate when a perfume or cosmetic you like gets phased out? Happens to me all the time. I don’t believe we get Jordana lipstick in Canada, I don’t recognize the brand. But we do get Maybelline. Always on the look out for good colors of lipstick thanks!
I’ve had the Maybelline mineral powder and concealer and gold and silver eyeshadows.
Jordana does have a website, check to see where it’s sold in your area.
