The Balmain x L'Oréal Paris Lipstick Collection is Finally Here
Collabs are dime a dozen but this one's a match made in (beauty) heaven.
It may have taken many months of anticipation, but Balmain x L'Oréal Paris Color Riche lipstick collection has finally landed on our shores. In his debut collaboration with the makeup brand, creative director Olivier Rousteing has given L'Oréal Paris' iconic Colour Riche lipsticks the designer treatment – resulting in a capsule collection that every lipstick addict will be dying to get her hands on.
Available in 12 matte and metallic shades, the collection is every bit as diverse as Rousteing's very own Balmain army: from grey to chocolate brown, shimmering iridescent pink, bold violet, blue, and a kickass crimson.
As for the packaging? 'Luxe' is the word that comes to mind. Each lipstick is themed after one of three tribes – Glamazon, Rock, and Couture – and comes in a black, jade green or marbled indigo bullet case with a gold trim (it is Balmain, after all).
Before it's released in stores nationwide next month, you can get your hands on the collection via Zalora. The 12-piece Balmain x L'Oréal Paris Vault comes in limited quantities and retails for $250, while individual lipsticks are available at $28 each.
