Lancome L'Absolu Creme de Brilliance


L'Absolu Creme de Brilliance is Lancome's newest lip entry. It's a lip treatment as well as color product. The description is " Visibly Replenishing and Reshaping Lip Cream Pro-Xylane Concentrated"

That means it has Pro Xylane to help the lip area look younger as well as a serious moisture in it.

The formula is a glossy creme. Not as thick as a lipstick but more than a gloss.

The color wears decently. Like many moisturizing lipsticks it doesn't hold up as long as you would like, but the moisture stays on very long after the lipstick has worn off. I kept thinking as I wore it " what lip balm am I wearing, it's really good "? Only to realize I had put this on earlier.

The pigment in my color Amande Sucree is very good. It's a bit of a '90s brown but not flat, it has some shimmer and a bit of bronze. This has the pointed doe foot wand I loved from La Laque Fever. Not popular with everyone, I love that it gives you precise painting on your lips.

I'm liking this for easy wear to get strong color and moisture in one. Spring may be almost here but the lips still get dry. I do have to re-apply more than I'd like, but that's do-able. I also have used a base under it which gives longer wear.

Lancome L'Absolu Creme de Brilliance comes in 8 shades and is $ 29.00
