When it
comes to models, everyone has their favorites and for me Doutzen Kroes easily
makes the top 3. I mean she is just so gorgeous! So when L’Oréal released a
lipstick named after her I was intrigued. The L’Oréal Colour Riche Collection
Exclusive is a line of lipsticks and nail polishes inspired by the brands
spokeswomen. As much as I love Doutzen, I was not too sure about her shade, but
in the end I caved and you can read my thoughts on it today.
The Doutzen’s
Nude lipstick comes in a pale bubble-gum pink color that has a lot of frost to
it. Personally, I’m more of a berry/bright lip colour kind of girl, I feel like
it complements my fair skin better and since my lips are quite pigmented, pale
lip colours tend to look odd on me. From the ads I think this would look great
if you had a bit of a tan or similar coloring to Doutzen. I can’t wait to test
it out once I breakout my self-tanner and get a bit of color. This is definitely
not a universally flattering shade. If I go for a full layer, it looks too
frosted and pale, but when you simply dab it on straight from the bullet, it
looks quite natural. Applied this way, the frost makes the lips a bit fuller,
adding dimension and the color highlights the lips beautifully.
While this
is not my favorite shade I am still really happy with my purchase. The effect I
get is similar to that of a great lip balm: plump, soft lips with a hint of
colour. The formula is also quite long-lasting and creamy, making it easy to
apply. On a side note, I really like the packaging of the Collection Exclusive
line, it looks really chic and more expensive than it really is.
You can
find the L’Oréal Colour Riche Collection Exclusive lipstick in Doutzen’s Nude
in most drugstores and L’Oréal retailers. The whole line contains six shades of
nudes in total to match most skin tone, so if this particular shade is not for
you I still recommend having a look at the rest of the line since this is a
great lipstick.
