Staying Power :

Star Collection Lipsticks
Look how tinted it is even after 8 hours.

All the 4 shades have pretty good staying power. They last for 4-5 hours without having oily food. Though some shades last more than the others. Pure Brick semi-survives meals while Pure Fire fails to do so. However, the tint lasts for a long period.

Pigmentation :

Pure Brick and Pure Garnet give an opaque finish in one swipe itself while Pure Scarleto gives off a decent color to your lips in a single swipe. Pure Fire is the sheerest among the four shades.

Shelf Life :

It has a shelf life of 36 months. Quite long, isn’t it?

My PICKS :

My favorite among these shades is Pure Garnet. It came as quite a surprise for me. Next comes Pure Scarleto. My third pick is Pure Brick. And last comes Pure Fire.

In conclusion, L’oreal Star Collection attracts you on the first look itself. The beautiful shiny glossy finish black tubes!!
