A little stopover at Walmart when on vacation two weeks ago (I forgot my exfoliating gloves!) yielded a triplet addition to my lip color collection…I just couldn’t resist the pastel colors and creamy shine of this formula!
 |
| From L-R: Cotton Pink, Sheer Linen and Merino Mauve. |
Retailing for $9.99, the Colour Caresse lipstick line is ultra-light, smooth and glossy. The texture feels moisturizing (and not the lightest bit sticky) when applied, but I don’t get the same hydration effect as if I was wearing a lip balm or moisturizing plumper like RBR Devlish Nectar (which I sometime use as a base for this lip color).
 |
| Cotton Pink is a light cool bubblegum pink with some shimmer…excellent color payoff with just one swipe. |
 |
| Merino Mauve is a milky pale pink with subtle shimmer…can be applied easily without a mirror to add an instantly lovely glow. |
 |
| These lipsticks are sheer but quite pigmented. |
The lasting power is medium…I found it needed to be reapplied every few hours which is no problem for me since I enjoy the act of adding more lipstick throughout the day. The shine is pronounced but not overly-glossy and the color seems to wear evenly. Overall, a beautiful drugstore option.
 |
| A combination of Merino Mauve and Pink Cotton. |
Bottom Line: At $7.49 each (I got mine on sale), these little gems are a steal…I don’t find them to be the most moisturizing lipsticks in the world, but the color payoff, smoothness and sheen are brilliant. Definitely worth a try!

Lovely color picks! I'm still pondering on the shades. If only I can test them out before buying. Hate returning makeup! Thanks for the lovely review xx
Thank you, Joanne! Testing (or the lack thereof!) at the drugstore is the worst…so limiting and inconvenient. I hope you find some colors that you end up loving!! Keep me posted ; )

I saw drugstore and had to take a look! I'm all about drugstore (I'm on a serious budget) and haven't bought one if these yet! glad to see some stuff I could possibly own on here:)
So good to hear from you, Yessie! You absolutely cannot beat the price and they look and wear just as well as the new Too Faced lip cremes which are almost three times the price! Let me know what you end up picking out…you always pick flattering colors ; )

Thanks:) I've been keeping a low pro as I'm between jobs and seeing all these pretty stuff makes me sad! I've been blogging but not much shopping! But I'm still on IG 🙂
Thanks for the update, Yessie…I hear you–reading beauty blogs inevitably gets me wanting to buy things I definitely don't need!! Finding a balance is a challenge but so healthy. Just followed your blog ; ) Always enjoy your IG pics!
Take care and talk soon!
