L'Oreal Caresse Lipstick - 401 Rebel Red

Hi guys, now autumn has definitely kicked in I wanted to wear a darker shade on the lips and what can beat an old fashioned red?! Today I'm going to do a mini review of the L'Oreal Caresse Lipstick in Rebel Red which is yet another variation of the Revlon Lipbutters!




Firstly, This red is more of a pinky red than an orange red and I think it's a really pretty transition lip shade for autumn/fall! These lipsticks in general are quite sheer but you can easily build them up to your desired opaque-ness with an extra layer if need be!

On the lips they feel like a tinted lip balm and not heavy as a lipstick which I tend to go for and if you wear it sheer, it looks very au-naturale. The finish is glossy but not frosty. I like that they have no shimmer because they are a lot smoother on the lips and you can't feel big chunks of glitter during the day.

On the down side, the longevity is not too great and you will have to reapply throughout the day and as these are advertised as lip stains these do not live up to the expectations of long lasting colour. However, the texture of Rebel Red is actually really similar to the Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me which is a cheaper option at £2.99 but Cherry Me is a bit more of a berry shade.

Overall, these lipsticks are really nice if you want a sheer moisturising colour that is not too heavy on the lips. If you can get over reapplying during the day this would be a nice option for you.

Have you got any nice lipsticks for Autumn/Fall?
