L’Oreal Infallible Le Rouge Lipcolor Review

L’Oreal is quite clever at coming up with a good packaging for its products. By and by, they are actually getting skilled at it. Look at L’Oreal Infallible Le Rouge lipcolor for example. The silvery tube wrapped in transparent plastic cap appears so elegant. Perhaps, that is why, I got tempted to buy its refined ruby shade. According to L’Oreal, this lipstick has 10 hours of staying power.  Its color is designed to appear luscious and defined. Additionally, the lipstick contains Vitamin E to keep the lips moisturized.  It all seems to make Infallible Le Rouge more advanced than other lipsticks. But before you can fall for it just read what I have found out about it.In general,  I test drive makeup products up to 3 months before I sit down to write reviews about them. This is what I tried to do with L’Oreal Infallible Le Rouge also.  But unfortunately, I failed! Yet just like before, I will explain the benefits I received from this lipcolor. Of course, we will take a look at why I failed in my experiment, but it will be in the problem section of this post.

Benefits:

The texture of Infallible Le Rouge somehow reminds me of my mom’s late 80s lipsticks. It is thickly creamy and slightly glossy. But time has changed and Infallible actually reflects the advancement of the cosmetics making technology. It glides very comfortably onto the lips. A little bit of hand shiver does not even make it over and out!

Once I wore it on my cracked lips. The result was amazing. There was basically no irritation whatsoever. Meanwhile, the cracks softened and disappeared under the color. So I can say that yes it is true that Infallible does contain Vitamin E. Another thing is that the lipstick does change the look of the face in a bold way.  There were actually times when I wore it without any makeup and still appeared fresh and bright!

Problems:

I mentioned earlier that I grabbed the refined ruby shade of Infallible Le Rouge. But after I wore it, I realized that I got cheated.  Refined ruby was not actually of ruby color. So be careful when you buy this lipstick. The mirror revealed that I was wearing deep magenta.

Now why I could not test drive Infallible Le Rouge longer? From where do I begin? First of all, this lipstick stains the teeth. It is embarrassing! Thank God, I found out about it right at home. What is more annoying is the fact that this stain is not easy to remove. Also the lipstick does not have any wish to stay longer on the lips. It goes away very easily especially with eating and drinking. As soon as I saw all this happening, I understood that I got my answer. No further experiment was necessary. I will still give here an example of how the lipstick does from one rub. Notice the image given below. I ran the lipstick on my hand.

Then I gave it a rub with my finger. Just one and nothing more. The result was this:

Do you see how it easily loses the color? This should imply to you that this lipstick color might look thick and creamy, but it actually is very thin. That is why, it loses staying power from touches.

Verdict:

L’Oreal Infallible Le Rouge does not fulfill its mission of staying on the lips for 10 hours, but it does have the power to make a face appear fresh and bright even without makeup. I will just say that it is designed to be worn for formal parties, for it is capable of complementing evening gowns.  But again, who wants to do deal with an embarrassing situation occurring from lipstick stain on teeth? Just think carefully before you pick up this lipstick for yourself. I myself will not recommend it to anyone. As a matter of fact, from me, it gets 3 out of 5 stars.
