Day 3 : Lancome L’Absolu Rouge Star Pick!

June 3, 2009 Paris B 27 Comments

Day 3 of the 30 lipsticks in 30 days project and we have a star pick of Lancome lippies. It has to be Lancome’s L’absolu Rouge a new and revamped line of lipsticks from Lancome Cosmetics.

Lancome L’Absolu Rouge – Rouge Rayonnant 47

Lancome L’absolu Rouge lipsticks come in a really cute case. The sleek black over snaps shut with a magnet unlike the conventional click mechanism. I sat for hours just playing with it. Ok, I exaggerate – it was at least half an hour while I waited for bureaucracy to entangle itself in red tape 😛

The color I have is Rouge Rayonnant 47 which is a gorgeous rose-red colour with slight warm gold tones. The texture of the lipstick is smooth and creamy, just sliding onto my lips like satin. Lancome says its from its pro-xylene technology. I just say that its an awesome lipstick that gives you lovely colour.

Pigment is strong yet it goes on a little sheer at first. You can actually build up the colour to look just like it does in the tube. I use this day and night – for the day, its just 1 or 2 swipes and for night, I build it up for intensity.

If you are afraid of red lipstick, try starting with this one. You can apply it as sheerly or as strongly as you like and build up your tolerance to wearing red on your lips 🙂

Despite the strong color (its stronger in real life), the texture is still surprisingly creamy and moisturizing and it contains SPF for those who’d like that. I’m making this one my Lancome star pick! In the picture below, its just 2 swipes for a day look. Still pretty bright eh?

Lancome L’absolu Rouge lipsticks retail at all Lancome counters for RM75 each. Absolutely worth it. I want more! 😛

Day 4 will feature Chanel Infrarouge in Matador so come back then!

Stay beautiful,

Paris B

    I’m leaning towards NYX’s Opium for the sheer rosy red. =)

    Good choice of lipstick! Agree with you, it definitely feels like satin on the lips. I bought one too and the color is peachy orange. Trying something new since I already own pink and red. I prefer to top this lipstick with a gloss of orange tint to create more 3d look. (Actually after bought it, I realized I bought a similar colour from Stila too, hehhehe)

      Hi Sylvia

      Thanks for the gloss tip. I have so many lippies in the same shade but there’ll always be something that sets one apart from the others as I’m sure you’d have found. I might check out the colour you bought. Sounds like a challenging color for me!

        It’s shade 193 Corail Heritage. The next time you check out at Lancome counter, you can try it out 🙂

    Oh Paris, I don’t know if I should be angry at you or not ;))
    Joking!

    I am trying really hard to refrain from buying any more makeups but you are tempting me with this Lancome lipstick, and I am actually looking for lipsticks with SPF now…

    And my 2nd love is Lancome brand after Estee Lauder..err….3rd actually, cos there’s Stila sharing top place with Estee. 😉 Thank God, we can’t get NYX here.

    But #47 is really a pretty color. Like the gold undertone to it which actually shows up quite nice on your lips.

      Hi Jenn

      One swipe is pretty sheer and you can top it up with gloss for quite a pretty casual look 🙂 Thanks for following this series!

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
