L’Oreal Paris’s idea of matching lipsticks to their spokesmodels is such a good one – they’ve got all tones covered off so if you are a similar skin colouring to any of the models, you’ll know at a glance which lipstick from the L’Oreal Paris La Vie En Rose collection will suit you best. There are five new shades in the La Vie En Rose collection, and just like the previous collections (Reds and Nudes) of Color Riche, I think they’ll be very popular. I’m missing one shade here (Liya).
L’Oreal Paris La Vie En RoseThe first shade in the swatch is Blake, next is Eva, then Naomi and finally Helen. Unless you’re really up on your spokesmodels, then it’s a little confusing to know who Helen is – is it Helen Mirren, who doesn’t appear on any of the promos for this? I don’t know! What I do know is that it’s pale as anything and I’m struggling to know who this would look good on other than the mysterious Helen! Although the shades look matte in the bullet, they’re not – there’s a low sheen to them and I detected some frosting in Helen and Naomi. Helen is described as an iridescent nude pink for fair tones, Naomi is a mauve toned ‘tea’ pink, again for fair tones. Blake is described as an orange pink for fair tones, Eva is a peach pink for warmer tones and Liya (which will be a Superdrug exclusive) is described as a Grenadian pink for deep tones.
The official launch for L’Oreal Paris La Vie En Rose is October, but as ever, Boots have gone ahead anyway and you can find them here for £6.99.

I love the look of these but I can’t get by the smell of the L’Oreal lippies, I don’t like it. Stunning colours though.

Do you dislike the smell altogether, or just under your nose? I find that lip fragrance just feels more and more wrong, even if I would like the frag as a body product.
It’s just a generic rosy lipstick smell to be honest.. I quite like it – it wouldn’t stop me wearing it, but I wouldn’t care if it wasn’t here either, if that makes sense!
Wow these look incredible! Blake looks especially nice:) Lovely post and pictures x

Beautiful lipsticks. Would love to try some of these!
I wonder why L’Oreal think that Black women will be excited to have an exclusive version at Superdug? What’s wrong with Boots, especially in parts of the country where Boots actually stocks some Black Hair and beauty products? I’m not sure who’s decided this but it’s a shame. I struggled to try the Liya version of the red lipstick, am miles away from a Superdrug and here we go again. What’s the point of marketing a range for all shades if they can’t support it with the actual products that really exist? Sigh.
oh wow the blake shade is gorge!
