L'Oreal Infallible Sexy Balm

From top to bottom: 103 As If I, 111 Go Pretty Or Go Home, 203 Yala Yolo

If you follow my Instagram account (@emmaboughtwhat), you will know that I treated myself to three of the new L'Oreal Infallible Sexy Balms. I couldn't resist a 3 for 2 offer! I've been wearing them nearly every day since I picked them up so I thought that I would share my opinion of them with you.

Firstly, the shades that I picked up were; 103 As If I, 111 Go Pretty Or Go Home, and 203 Yala Yolo. As If I is a nude shade, which just enhances my natural lip colour so I can use this as an every day lipstick. Go Pretty Or Go Home is a bright pinky purple colour that would be great for summer if you want to sport a bright lip. Yala Yolo is more pigmented than the other two lipsticks (because it's from the bold range and the other two are from the sheer range) - it's a bright red colour and I like to wear it when I've got minimal eye makeup.

Usually I go for a matte lipstick and I've surprised myself by how much I like these moisturising balms! It feels like there's nothing on my lips when I'm wearing these lipsticks, and they're not sticky at all. The fact that the tips of these lipsticks are pointed makes them easy to apply precisely; you could use a lip liner if you want to make your lips more defined but it's not a necessity with these. L'Oreal say that these lipsticks last up to 12 hours, however, I'd say they last for around 4 hours. Yala Yolo lasted a bit longer than the others because it's a bold colour, and it did leave a tint on my lips but it wasn't as noticeable as when I first applied it. Having to apply the other shades when they rubbed off was a bit inconvenient, however, my lips didn't start to feel dry.

Overall, I'm really impressed with these lipsticks and I think that all of the shades available are perfect for summer. Have you tried these lipsticks yet?
