L’Oreal Rouge Caresse Lipstick 06 Aphrodite Scarlet Review & Swatches
L’Oreal Rouge Caresse Lipstick Aphrodite Scarlet Review & Swatch India
Hello Girlies,
As they say, save the best for the last and today I bring the best shade(according to me) from the L’Oreal Rouge Caresse Lipstick Range! I have already reviewed Dating Coral & Rose Mademoiselle. Do check out L’Oreal Rouge Caresse Lipstick Swatches here which can help you choose your pick!
Product Description
The Rouge Caresse lipstick has a flutter of kissable, soft, colour. Its delicate texture glides onto lips creating a veil of colour with a luminous shine. It adds a desired pop of color with a meltingly soft application.
Price: Rs 499
Can be bought online at Flipkart & Nykaa
Packaging
The L’Oreal Rouge Caresse Lipsticks come in a transparent packaging with a silver bullet. Its reminiscent of their Infallible Lipsticks. The lipstick has a color coded sticker below which makes life much easier incase you own more than 1 of these(like me). The packaging is sturdy and travel friendly as the cap shuts tightly and won’t come off on your handbag.
Shade
L’Oreal Aphrodite Scarlet is a juicy watermelon pink ie a warm rosy pink which shall flatter all skintones. Its the prettiest, summery shade which I’m sure many of you would love to rock! I love the fact that Aphrodite Scarlet isn’t cool toned like Rose Mademoiselle making it suitable for the warm Indian complexion!
Texture
L’Oreal Rouge Caresse Lipsticks have a beautiful lightweight texture which feels and hydrates like a lip balm! It isn’t sticky at all and neither does it emphasize or settle into fine lines. The texture is quite comfortable to wear and gives a glossy finish to the lips!
Pigmentation
Being a sheer lipstick its quite decently pigmented. You can get a good color pay off in 2-3 swipes which will cover minor pigmentation of the lips. However it does not give an opaque finish so those with pigmented lips should steer clear of this. Personally, I loved its color and pigmentation the best out of all the shades I’ve tried from this range!
Staying Power
Aphrodite Scarlet has a great wear time and it stayed the longest out of all the Rouge Caresse lipsticks I’ve tried! It easily lasts upto 4hrs with a hint of fading which is great for a sheer lipstick. However, it does not survive meals or snacks but leaves a pretty pink lip stain hence you do not require an immediate touch up!

HBM Rating
HBM Recommendation: L’Oreal Rouge Caresse Aphrodite Scarlet Lipstick is a gorgeous watermelon pink which will flatter all skintones. This summery shade is the best color out of the whole L’Oreal Rouge Caresse Range IMO. It has a sheer to buildable formula along with a decent wear time. Personally I couldn’t find any fault with it and I highly recommend it to everybody that do not have pigmented lips!
