Review: L'Oréal Colour Riche Balm in Heavenly Berry

I'm back with another review on another great lippie? Haven't you noticed I love lippies and they're one of my fave types of makeup products out there? Haha. On the recommendation of one of my makeup junkie friends, I decided to try out the L'Oréal Colour Riche Balm because it's on sale this week and I know these have been on the market for a while already, so I've been able to read plenty of reviews and make my choice wisely.

The shade I chose was #318, Heavenly Berry. I'm normally not a fan of darker plum and berry shades, even in fall, but this balm comes across very sheer, so even these dark colours impart just a light dose of colour onto the lips. For me, it leaves just a light sheen on my lips, which is perfect! I was debating between this and Plush Plum, but decided to settle with this one because it's a lighter colour and it's not too cold...yet!

This product does have a vanilla scent that I like, a mix between candy and freshly baked cupcakes with frosting. It's not overpowering and disappears shortly after application. The balm itself applies well, gliding smoothly along my lips without that sticky drag that some glossy balms can have. The only gripe some people might have is the lid of the tube must align properly with the bottom in order to snap shut, but I'm a fan of having the label face forward, so I like this design! Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase!
