Lancome Rouge In Love- Rose Thé

Being as into lipsticks as I am, it's quite shocking that I seem to have missed out on Lancome lipsticks up until now, which is very sad because the quality, formula and shades of the ones I have tried recently are beautiful and had I known how great they were before now, probably would have had a few more little gems within my collection.

My latest addition my lipstick collection is Rose Thé from Lancomes Rouge In Love range, which currently consists of 24 shades. Rose Thé* is a darker toned nude with a Rose tint that of course, being a nude, I am a fan of. It is a little darker than I usually go for, which I don't find the swatch is picking up very well and think maybe in real life it's a lot more rich and Rose toned than it seems to have appeared, which I often find can be a bit too mature on me. Though it's not an everyday go to Nude for me, worn with the right make up I do find it to be really pretty and complimentary.

The formula is super creamy and pigmented, making application a dream and on the lips feels very comfortable. Lancome describe their Rouge In Love collection to be long lasting with up to 6 hours wear which I find a reasonable statement. This definitely doesn't last on my lips a whole six hours, but after blotting and a second application, I find the colour to sit well on my lips a good fair while before fading off nicely, rather than drying.

Although I must admit I wasn't too sure on it at first, I think the contrast of the shiny and matte Silver packaging on the tube is really pretty. A feature that I really do love is the small and compact design of the tube. It isn't in the slightest bit clumpy or oversized, which I find so many lipsticks to be at the moment.

Lancomes Rose Thé costs £21 and is available online and at Lancome counters in Debenhams, House of Fraser, Boots and Selfridges.   

What do you think of this shade? Do you prefer a fresh light Nude or darker "your lips but better" shade?
