Rouge Signature Batom Liquido Mate 116 I Explore

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely LOVE this product, I was a bit worried at first as I don’t normally like matte lipsticks and find they tend to dry out and look awful after a few hours but this was nothing like that, it was very soft and easy to wear and not uncomfortable or drying on the lips at all. I loved the applicator wand too as it was so easy to use and let you apply the product really precisely without making a mess - which is great if you have one of the darker colours! Overall really really impressed - the colour I had was a lovely nude colour too which I could wear everyday - will definitely be picking more colours up in the range now I’ve tried this one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new favorite lipstick! I I just love it, great colour choice and super easy application. It feels beautiful to wear so lightweight I forgot I was wearing it. It gives a beautiful finish and is very long lasting. I would definitely be buying some other shades and will recommend to others.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I got to test this product in exchange for an honest review I was really excited by the promised 'bare lip feeling'. I find matt lipsticks and lip stains feel very drying and I end up putting gloss or balm over the top. Upon application this stain went on smoothly and felt pleasant, the texture is very smooth. As it dried it did feel very light, although I would say more 'barely there' than 'bare lip'. After about half an hour my lips did start to feel dry so I checked my reflection and thought they looked quite dry too. It's worth mentioning that my lips have quite deep lines which is why I prefer glossy lipsticks that sit on the surface. If you don't have this problem then it probably won't bother you. At this point I had a cup of tea and a biscuit to see how the lip stain fared. Not well, it was completely gone afterwards but then it didn't promise to be permanent so I just reapplied it. The next day I added some clear gloss over the top and got on much better. No dry lips and the gloss protected the colour for a while. Whilst I like the colour and subtle scent of this lip stain I probably won't buy it myself as I'd rather a moisturising lipstick or gloss. However if you like the matte look and want something lighter than most lipsticks I'd try this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of the first liquid lipsticks I've really liked in a long time. It has a very thin consistency so I made sure to focus during application so that I wouldn't make a mess, but it actually doesn't need a lot of effort as it begins to dry as soon as it's applied. I now use the tip to outline my lips and then fill them in, and you get a lot of product on the wand so you don't need to dip into the tube again. The tube is really simple and kind of reminds me of designer brands in the 90's, and the I Explore shade has the same 90's vibe. It's a shade or two darker than my natural lip colour and I think I'll get a lot of wear out of it - it's a subtle addition to heavier eye make up looks but makes a face with just mascara and a bit of eyeliner look more interesting. Love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a rich creamy product which goes on smoothly to a matte finish but without the dryness you sometimes get with matte lip products! My lips looked smooth and matte yet felt soft and moveable! Nicely moisturising too! The colour pigment is strong so I built colour up slowly. One light layer was perfect for day wear and lasted well. A couple of oats gave a stronger evening look. Stayed on well through drinks too and my lips didn’t feel dry. Very pleased.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Completely picked the wrong shade for myself, the colour is quite pigmented, although it wears off easily. I suffer from dry lips and feel this product doesn't help. It doesn't feel that moisturizing, but then it isn't advertised to be moisturizing, so that's neither here or there. May feel differently if I can find the right shade, but for a nude, I feel it's too dark for me. I don't really like the applicator either, I feel it's too chunky. Sorry Loreal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great liquid lipstick with a beautiful matte, high impact elegant colour that is super easy to precisely apply using the teardrop applicator. I really like its minimal texture which feels like water, giving a bare lip sensation and even more so the fact that it doesn't smudge, flake or dry out whilst also staying flawlessly intact for the entire day. I would highly reccomend the rouge signature liquid lip ink.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found this Liquid Lip Ink extremely runny and had to wipe a huge amount off the wand before applying. It gave good coverage. But within a few minutes I found my lips felt very dry and uncomfortable, and my lips looked thin and shrunken. Had to cover the lip ink with lip balm to moisturise my lips. This gave a better look, plumped my lips back up, and alleviated the dry feeling.
