Christian Louboutin Beaute Altareva & Colibretta Loubilaque Lip Lacquers Review, Photos, Swatches
Christian Louboutin Beaute Altareva Loubliaque Lip Lacquer
Christian Louboutin Beaute Altareva Loubliaque Lip Lacquer ($85.00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is a medium, rosy pink with warm undertones and fine, golden beige pearl. It had opaque color coverage that applied evenly and was comfortable to wear, but there was slight settling into lip lines over time (more noticeable after three hours of wear). The consistency is lightly tacky after a couple of hours but doesn’t get goopy. It lasted for five hours; the more gel-like feel seems more forgiving if you drink or eat compared to the average gloss, but it isn’t indestructible. MAC Nutty & Naughty (LE, $20.00) is less pigmented (95% similar). Chanel Rose de Lune (LE, $30.00) is less pigmented (90% similar). Urban Decay Naked (P, $20.00) is lighter (90% similar).

MAC Candy Box (P, $21.00) is lighter, cooler (85% similar). NARS Baby Doll (P, $26.00) is more shimmery, lighter (85% similar).

Christian Louboutin Beaute Colibretta Loubliaque Lip Lacquer ($85.00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is a bright, medium-dark pinky-fuchsia with subtle, warmer undertones and a cream finish. It had mostly opaque pigmentation with a gel-like, smooth texture that felt lighter than it looked. It applied evenly, but again, there was a bit of color that gathered in lip lines. I don’t think it’s noticeable from a normal viewing distance, though, so it may not be a deal-breaker. This shade lasted for six hours and was hydrating over time. Anastasia Petal (-, $16.00) is brighter (90% similar). MAC Love of Roses (LE, $28.00) is lighter, warmer (90% similar). MAC Impassioned (P, $21.00) is darker (90% similar). MAC Forever Rose (DC, $19.50) is lighter, brighter, warmer (85% similar). Anastasia Weekend Barbie (-, $16.00) is lighter, brighter, cooler (85% similar). Giorgio Armani #523 (P, $29.00) is lighter, brighter (85% similar). Dior Plaisir (779) (LE, $35.00) is lighter, brighter (80% similar). Illamasqua Follow (DC, $22.00) is lighter, brighter, warmer (80% similar). Urban Decay Quiver (DC, $26.00) is lighter, cooler (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
FORMULA OVERVIEW | Christian Louboutin Beaute Loubliaque Lip Lacquer ($85.00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is newest launch from the brand. It is a lipgloss that’s supposed to have “brilliant, bold color” with “high-shine.” There are eight shades available; I purchased four to try and don’t expect to purchase the other four at this time. The gloss is housed in a clear, vial-like case, which is made out of plastic, with a flexible doe-foot applicator. It comes with a metallic ribbon that loops through the lid so that you can wear it (I would recommend using a sturdier chain). The formula is smooth, almost gel-like that feels cushion-y on the lips that is mostly non-sticky, and the shades I tried were fairly pigmented. The wear was between five and seven hours, while the formula was hydrating. The big issue I had with these was a tendency for them to get on my teeth. The formula has a floral scent and often soap-like taste. The formula reminded me a lot of href=”https://www.temptalia.com/product/chanel-rouge-allure-gloss/”>Chanel Rouge Allure Gloss and Dior Fluid Addicts (this one feels more water-like initially, but it develops to a similar consistency within 30 seconds). I think the way they look on the lips is beautiful and lush, but the taste was frustrating for me.

Looks gorgeous and I kinda like the idea of wearing it around my neck 🙂 There’s that taste thing, though…haha Ya know, I keep saying this guy will never get me to pay these exorbitant prices for his beauty products, but then he just keeps on tempting me…He might get me one day lol
lol!
So pretty! I love the way the fine shimmer looks and the finish it gives. The soapy taste would be a definite deal breaker.
I keep trying to wear Altareva, but I have to take it off because of the taste!
What a shame about the perfume and crazy price tag, but Altareva is a truly gorgeous color. Wish there were more close dupes to it
I wish I had more dupes for it, too!
So juuuuuicy! *hearteyes*
They have a very high-shine!
As beautiful as these shades look, I would much rather get their respective much less pricey dupes. The amount given isn’t very much, for one thing. And the soapy taste would turn my stomach! For almost the same $’s, I’d go for TF Honeymoon instead. ?
Totally understand, Nancy! I’d go for dupes myself on this one.
I’d love to get at least one of these, but the scent and soapy taste are deal breakers for me.
They were for me, too 🙁 I have tried to wear Altareva a few times to use it more, but I always take it off after an hour or two.
Both of these are beautiful. I love Altareva and it seems a little harder to dupe, but can’t imagine paying $85. But, I said I’d never pay the $ for their polish, and finally caved a couple of weeks ago. (Jazzy Pop)
Funny, can’t imagine someone actually wearing one of these! Maybe repurpose as a Christmas ornament. ?
How do you like Jazzy Pop?
what a lovely packaging and shades! such a shame it is not performing well, the scent is such a turn down
I wish they had held back more on the scent!
I can’t believe these taste like soap LOL! They’re so luxurious and beautiful I was expecting them to even taste like heaven. I doubt I would enjoy the soapy taste but I’m so tempted to buy one of his lippies. I need at least one. They’re so stunning!
I’ve definitely had that issue with other highly-scented lip products 🙁
They are beautiful, but $85.00 for a lip gloss is too far beyond reason, even for a junkie like myself 😉 Nope.
Totally understand, Cathy!
