Upon opening up the L’Oreal Colour Riche Extraordinaire Lip Lacquer in the gorgeous reddish shade Ruby Opera, my heart sank a little with I saw the consistency of the lip lacquer on the applicator sponge. At first glance the colour looked pigmented and fantastic but the liquid appeared clumpy and think. It is a good thing I didn't stop there because I will blown away by the smooth and creamy application of this lip lacquer. The liquid was not clumpy nor too thick! I was able to apply ample lip lacquer to give my lips a beautiful ruby pout.

The lip lacquer stayed put for a good few hours, but I did find it rubbed off significantly after a cup of tea and my mid-morning snack and left behind a lighter ruby colour stain. I am keen to try some of the more subtle shades in this range as I loved how nourishing this product felt on my lips, no drying out or cracking!

I have my eye on these two gorgeous shades next, Rose Melody and Molto Mauve! Which are your favourites?
