L'Oreal Infallible Matte Max Lipstick, 4 Pink It Again

Good product, lovely colour, doens't let too much product being applied on the lips.

On the good side colour i bought was a warm , 'grown up ' pink. The applicator is a sponge which is good and allows you build up the colour as much as you want without the need for constant blotting or using a lip bush - giving you just a hint of colour or full on coverage. Still, the reason I only gave it three starts was I bought it a) as I wanted a matt lipstick and b) I need colour that last. Sadly it's the dryness ( almost powdery) that make it matt which is not terribly flattering if ,like me your lips get dry. It reminds me of when as a teenager I would change the colour of my lipstick by putting eyeshadow in it! I have to say to call it infallible is a bit of a stretch but as long as you use a good lip primer it's a nice colour and fine as a lipstick in itself and fit the price...

Stays put and looks great, very lightweight on lipsticks.

Doesn't work. When you apply with the stick which is like a brush, there is nothing on it. You need to press it into the lid to transfer paint into brush. But still not much goes on the lip and its very very dry. Horrible product

I was initially intrigued by this product described as having "a velvet soft feel for up to 8 hours" and being enriched with micro oils and was eager to try it out. On initial inspection, its tube was longer than any other lipstick I owned - quite a bit longer. It has a black lid on a coloured base. The base has the colour number stamped in black. It's not a true likeness to the actual shade, but it gives a rough indication.The plastic packaging feels cheap to be honest, and for a l'Oreal product there could have been more attention to detail, and a better quality of material used. The black lid twists off - but then suddenly pops up, as the "wand" itself is on a spring mechanism. This allows it to retract inside itself when the lid is closed. The end of the wand has a large, fairly fat, sponge tipped applicator, which is sitting in the product contained in the base. This sponge has a nice point at the tip and feels very solid and sturdy.The product itself is a soft matt powder, tightly compressed inside the coloured tube, and the sponge needs twisting around a few times to coat it with product. Unlike other reviewers of this product, I found the size and shape of the sponge perfect for my lips. It created a good, solid line and filled in my lips effortlessly and quickly. It glided onto my lips, was dry in texture and velvety soft, but not drying. I was able to put a thin single layer on, or build it up to make the colour more opaque. As I dipped my sponge in for a second time or third, it simply blended in and didn't create thick layers, lumps or streaks. There was also, surprisingly, no transfer onto my teeth!This matt lipstick lasted fairly well, I cannot say it lasted 8 hours on me as I had drinks and ate food, which inevitably made the lipstick wear off in the middle ... but then all lipsticks do this. The colour was still visible around the rest of my lips though, and had faded nicely without leaving harsh looking lines. It didn't bleed or settle into lines either. The remaining lipstick was easily removed by my cleanser or my make up remover.This shade 002 Like a Virgin is a dusky pink/coral shade and I really liked it. I'm tempted to get another shade to try out the two tone ombre look that it suggests on their website. All in all a very nice product, with average lasting power and despite being matt it felt weightless and soft on my lips without drying them out. Would have felt much higher quality with a hard glossy lid and clear glass/plastic tube, which would enable you to see how much product was remaining.

This is an old lipstick but it really is infallible. You have colour for ages after one application. Can be a wee bit drying as it is so matt but you can put a little balm over it and it still stays. Old but gorgeous - just like me LOL

lipstick look cheap, plus the colour wasn’t matte enough, not a good product

I absolutely love this one, this is my favourite lipstick ever. Put some lipbalm on your lips at first and fhen use this one and it will feel amazing on your lips. I am addicted to lipsticks but would get chappy and dry lips all fhe time with others, this one leaves your lips feeling like lipbalm and gives a perfect colour. Will be my 4th time ordering soon!
