Review: Marcelle Rouge Xpression Lipstick



Price: $11.95 for 0.12 OZ / 3.5 g

Description:
Luscious Lips Made Easy
Express your true self with Rouge Xpression lipstick! Rouge Xpression has a dual personality that will delight your lips; it has a moisturizing Maxi-Lip complex that hydrates your lips’ delicate skin and adds sexy volume.

Replete with avocado and Omega-6 oils, its formula prevents dry, cracked lips and restores moisture. Its creamy, velvety and non-sticky texture ensures total comfort. And with your choice of 12 vibrant colours, biting into life will never have looked so sexy!

Hypoallergenic and perfume-free.


  L-R: Sentimental (pearl), Romanesque (pearl), Paris Rose (cream), Delirium (pearl)

 L-R: Sentimental (pearl), Romanesque (pearl), Paris Rose (cream), Delirium (pearl)

 Sentimental (frosty light shimmery pink, almost sheer)

 Romanesque (medium nude brown)

 Paris Rose (light coral)

Delirium (orange-red)

Pros:
  • pigmented
  • non-drying
  • creamy formula 
  • last a few hours
  • sleek packaging

Cons:
  • I didn't notice added volume 
  • expensive for a drugstore lipstick
  • not moisturizing enough if you have really dry lips (like me)

What I think:

I'm not a regular lipsticks wearer, but I must say I'm very impressed with these. All of the shades I tried go on creamy and last a good amount of time on the lips, and they only require one swipe on the lips to show their true color (except maybe Sentimental which is very sheer).

Altough they aren't moisturizing enough to completely eliminate the use of a lip balm, they don't dry my awfully dehydrated lips, which is an absolute must for me.

I didn't notice the claimed "added sexy volume" but it's no big deal for me as it's not what I'm looking for in a lipstick.

Available shades:

First row: Enchantment, Exuberance, Sensation, Provocative
Second row: Sincerity, Sentimental, Delight, Euphoria
Third row: Obsession, Revolution, Passion, Delirium
Fourth row: Romanesque, Amour, Jezebel, Feline
Fifth row: Cleopatra, Mauve Avant-Garde, Couture, Attitude

Recommend? yes

Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion + Sunscreen SPF 15: I was sent their new lotion with SPF 15 to review, along with some samples of the original formula.
