The lovely folks at Beautyheaven sent me Lancome's rouge in love lipstick (#679N) to trial!
I won't lie. At first sight, I thought the colour was far too dark for my liking. Also it was fragranced and long lasting (which I equate as dry); two qualities I do not appreciate in a lipstick.
I gave it a go anyway and was very pleasantly surprised. The lipstick glided on smoothly and felt really nice and not at all dry. I also could not smell the fragrance once on. And the colour?
A beautiful bright plummy pink that complemented my skintone and created a healthy soft glow. I liked it so much, I kept looking at myself in the mirror, attempting various pouts and constantly taking a step back to reassess the spot of colour on my usually dull face. Clearly I was smitten.
Ok. So there are three things I learnt from this little exercise:
1. I love Lancome Rouge in Love. Just very coyly, I think it looks good on me. And makes my lips look quite luscious.
2. Rouge in love shade # 679N matches my camelia almost perfectly.
3. I have a rather large mouth.
Have you tried any new makeup lately?

Ooh the colour looks so pretty on you! I love how it matches your flower! :)
What a fabulous colour that is on you - it looks so different on than it does in the tube!
it looks great! I'm not a big make up wearer... just a bit of a dramatic eye when I'm heading out somewhere. I like the way I look in red lipstick, but my partner doesn't. I don't really mind either way :)
Whoaa the color looks gorgeous on you! :D
It looks stunning on you!
I generally don't wear lipstick because I find it too drying... but lipbalms are boring too.
That colour looks really sweet and looks fantastic on you
I'm in LOVE with the way love turned out on you!! Don't you love sweet surprises like that? :)

That shade is gorgeous! I tried Sephora's own brand foundation recently and absolutely love it, wish they sold it over here though :( x
of course i foolw you back baby..:)
I haven't tried new make-up in a while. I guess it's because I already have so many lipsticks and barely use them because I just forget to put them on.
I love these shades on you, I thought the new lipstick would be a bit dark too, but then saw it on you and love it.
