L’Oreal’s Project Runway The Electric Fantasie Collection launched this month in drugstores. The collection includes four (4) shades of L’Oreal’s Colour Riche Lipcolour lipsticks. This review is for the shade The Queen’s Kiss–a Dorothy ruby-slippers-red with lighter red shimmer particles.

Packaging: 9/10
L’Oreal’s Project Runway lipsticks come in plastic, black, rounded-square tubes with the Project Runway logo on the side.
Quality: 9.75/10
The Queen’s Kiss is a semi-opaque ruby red. The lighter shimmers give the color extra dimension because they are lighter and therefore contrast against the underlying lipstick color.
The formula is slightly creamy and glides onto the skin well with even color. The lipstick brings a little moisture to the lips and feels smooth.
The lipstick is not transfer-resistant, but does last on the lips two (2) to three (3) hours before needing touch-ups.
My only criticism of this lipstick is the scent. It has an old smell to it and reminds me of what my Grandmother’s lipsticks used to smell like.
Ease of Use: 9.5/10
The lipstick pulls just a little at the skin but otherwise applies evenly. This is a bold shade, so apply carefully around the edges of the lips.
Price: 9/10
For around $7.00 you get 0.13 ounces (3.6 grams) of lipstick. This is an average amount of product and price point for a drugstore lipstick.
I picked this up the other day, my first tube of L’Oreal lipstick. I must say that I’m pretty impressed for a drugstore brand! And this shade is absolutely gorgeous!!
