L’Occitane Pivoine Flora Collection Lipstick in Fuschia Is Perfect for Casual Fridays

May 27th, 2011 by Karen 36 Comments

Of the products I’ve played with so far from the new limited edition L’Occitane Pivoine Flora collection, my favorite has to be the Lipstick in Fuschia ($15, one of four shades; yes, here Fuschia is spelled with an ‘s’ before the ‘chia’).

It gets the pigment just right, walking that fine line between mediocre pigmentation and high-maintenance, with a finish that still looks natural even with its subtle shine. Perfect for days when I want a casual lip look without the blinding bling of a gloss.



Wear time clocks in at around two and a half hours — pretty good considering how thin and slippery it feels. The rose scent and flavor are nice touches, too, although I do detect a hint of wax. Luckily, it dissipates within a few minutes.

And they’re priced right in line with MAC Lipsticks, which isn’t bad. When it comes to these lippies, I’m a big fan. 🙂

PRICE: $15 each
AVAILABILITY: Available now at L’Occitane stores and also online
MAKEUP AND BEAUTY BLOG RATING: A

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    That lipstick looks superb and so do you Karen. Does it has some glitter in it (appear in the swatch) or is the shine because of lighting??

    That color is lovely on you! When I first heard fuschia, I thought that the color would be aggressively bright, but it is actually quite lovely.

    I hope you are doing well! Do you have big plans for the holiday weekend?

    Holy mackerely! I suspect the eye is teh same as the Surf Baby in the previous article, but the Fuschia lippie makes it pop!

    The whole look is amazing, and the eyes are like *wow*

    (Come back to Toronto, and bring Tabs this time 🙂 )

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
