We know what you're thinking: L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Satin Lipstick (£9) is far from new. And you're correct. It first launched in 1985. For 2021, however, the brand decided it was time for a little revamp with upgrades to both the formula and packaging, and the addition of 18 new shades to the existing collection of 15.
When it comes to the formula, the brand has added nourishing ingredients like argan oil and vitamin E to not only improve the wear of the lipstick, but to also help keep your lips soft and hydrated underneath. The bullet is shaped a little differently — more like a teardrop with a very pointy tip to ensure a precise application — and the outer packaging is now shiny and gold.
And whilst we appreciate the new formula, we're probably most excited about the new hues, which include bold shades like bright orange and purple, which can sometimes be trickier to find at the drugstore. (Shades shown here from left to right: Made in Paris, Maison Marais, Bonjour Bastille.)
