Honestly, the L’Oreal Paris Pure Reds collection is f.a.b.u.l.o.u.s! It’s put a spring right back in my beauty step and if you love red lippie, it’s a given that these will rock your red lipped world!
So, first we have the four celebrities; Liya, Eva, Julianna and Blake, each with the best red for their skin tone. The biggest excitement is probably Julianna with a red for red-heads. In the promo pick it looks rather orange, but it’s far from it; Julianna is a pink-toned red (some might say it’s not actually a true red) that to my eye has some coral notes to it as well, and although Eva is the correct red for my skin colouring, I am really drawn to the Julianna shade.
So, the line up is Liya, Eva, Blake and Julianna.
From bottom to top: Liya, Eva, Blake, Julianna. Blake is indicated for fair tones and has blue notes in it, while Eva is brickish. Liya is the most ‘red’ with some orange in the mix.
The formula of L’Oreal Paris Pure Reds is matte, and I don’t like mattes at all, but it’s one of the most forgiving mattes that I’ve come across. The lipsticks have off the scale pigment, and they actually feel comfortable on the lip – there is a lot of moisture in them. When I test a matte lipstick, I can feel dryness starting within the hour – genuinely not so with L’Oreal Paris Pure Reds. The result looks like a demi-matte, but feels like a sheen on the lip.
I absolutely love this range – massively high performing products for £6.99 a pop. It’s making the £25+ lipsticks look ridiculously over-priced and not in the least bit special. If you’re a red lip lover, GO!
L’Oreal Paris Pure Reds launch this month – they haven’t quite made it on-line yet, but any day now.

As a redhead, I’m a massive fan of Julianne’s Nude- so I will definitely take a look at her red! However, I am a bit concerned if it’s got a bit of orange in it… wondering if it’ll make my teeth look like I smoke 50 a day?!
These are so lovely! The Julianna nude was my favourite and I think her red is going to be my favourite aswell, love the swatches x
Exciting! I’m not hugely keen on the look of matte finishes and hoped they would go away but they do seem to be hanging around so at least if they feel comfy on the lip they’re doable. I love fuschia toned reds a lot, they somehow look juicier and nicer to me than pure reds, so I’ll definitely check out the Julianne shade.
I love the Blake one! Can’t wait to try them 🙂
I’m also new to this word of blogging, so it would mean a lot to me if anyone checked out my blog and followed? Thanks:))

Deifnitely going to need to check these out!! Love the way in whcih they have used the celebs through matching to their skin tone as well. xx
So excited about these. I have seen a few beauty bloggers on about them. I think every girl needs a red lipstick. I only have one red lipstick from Barry M, and I never really think of buying a red, but after seeing these I think I may have to go check them out and see how they suit me. KBxx

What a clever idea. I’ve wanted red lipstick for years, but never plucked up the courage to buy one because (despite reading numerous articles on the subject) I had no idea which colour would suit my fair-toned skin. Blake’s lipstick looks like a perfect match.
I need these, all of them please!!!

I love these!!
Oh my goodness, I am def getting the Blake red after seeing those swatches!
I am buying all of them, beautiful colours. Thank you Jane for yet another cracking post ! x
I know what you mean about matte lipsticks, and I usually put a gloss over them just to give them a bit of va va voom. I love those reds…I temporarily shied away from darker shades, thinking that at my senior age, I should perhaps be toning it down. But those wishy-washy shades just don’t look right on me, and I’ve been reintroducing some sassy shades back into my lipstick wardrobe. These shades are going to be welcome additions…love Julianna. Does anyone ever worry about where, exactly, they’re going to store their ever-growing beauty arsenal?!
Erm, thinking maybe external storage unit?!
A two-storey extension, at least. 😉
Wow, these look stunning! I loved Julianne’s nude so I can’t wait to try these, think I will pick up all 4 : )
Any info on dates yet? When will they be in stores?
Beautiful red colors
As a red lipstick fanatic I feel it is my cosmetic duty to own all 4. For scientific research purposes obviously….

Ooh, I like most of these! I really don’t think the Julianne one looks very good, but the rest are great.
These reds are beautiful!
