Colour Riche Original Satin Lipstick
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Original Satin Lipstick in shade Ballerina Shoes went viral on TikTok, but feedback on the formula is split. Professional makeup artist Risa Does Makeup finds it creamy with decent wear time, though she dislikes the strong scent; Sophie 🎀 describes the matte version as "dry as a bone." Several creators praise the shade as a neutral everyday option, but the fragrance is polarizing.
