Le Metier de Beaute Color Core Moisture Stain Lipstick ♥ Marrakech Review + Swatches

Le Metier de Beaute

I have never mentioned Le Metier de Beaute on my blog before, although it is not a new makeup brand on the market, it is fairly new to me. I have came across a lot of new-to-me brands last year and I am just slowly trying out these products and reviewing them.

Today I am reviewing the Le Metier de Beaute Color Core Moisture Stain Lipstick in Marrakech. This brand is not available in New Zealand, so I purchased this lipstick along with a few other Le Metier de Beaute products from BeautyBay.

Le Metier de Beaute Color Core Lipstick comes packaged in a thin, round tube; the material of its outside packaging feels like 'car tyres' types of material, black, rubber-ish. The packaging is simple and it match up to its luxuries makeup standard; not too much graphic, nor too girly, it is suitable for all age groups.

Le Metier de Beaute Color Core Moisture Stain Lipstick is described as a long-wearing, hydrating lipstick that will delivery a rich and full coverage color. The Color Core range claims its shea butter moistures and heals dryness, while jojoba protects against lip wrinkles, it will not feather nor bleed during wear and it provides a velvety finish.

There are twenty-something shades available in the Color Core Moisture Stain range and each lipstick is named after a well-known vacation spot around the world. I purchased this lipstick while it was on sale, so there weren't a lot of color choices to choose from. I did end up picking the shade Marrakech, it's a beautiful pinky orangey color with a frost finish.

** arghh ** I didn't know Marrakech is a frost finish when I bought the lipstick, but in this case it's not too bad. The color is so summery and pretty and comfortable to wear, it's alright even if it's a frost.

One of my favourite things about this lipstick is the formula, it isn't as moisturizing as Le Metier de Beaute had claimed, but its texture is soft and velvety. Marrakech being a frost finish, I had expected it to worn off within a short time frame and I had imagined it would be hard to apply and get the color to show without layering it a million times. I was wrong.

Le Metier de Beaute Marrakech Lipstick is very long-wearing, for a frost finish; it worn well on me for approximately four hours even on days I go hiking, I sweat a lot, I drank a lot of water, I touch my lips quite often and it still stays on!

Marrakech is moisturizing, but it's not too-moisturizing like a creamy feel. Every time I wear this lipstick, not only do I adore the subtle shimmery summer color, I also love how comfortable it is; I love that it doesn't dry out my already-dried-lips nor does it crack and flake.

I am looking forward to trying out more shades from the Color Core Moisture Stain Lipstick range, I especially want to try the creamy matte fomula they have, I much prefer matte over frost finish.

Le Metier de Beaute Color Core Moisture Stain Lipstick is available to purchase at beautybay.com (AUD $42.80), they currently only have two darker shades available, not sure if they will re-stock Marrakech. This range is also available on net-a-porter (USD $42.07), I haven't done a beauty order through net-a-porter before so I am unsure how the whole shipping process works, I assume those who lives outside of US would have to use a mail forwarding service as they probably don't ship beauty items oversea.
