Lancome Delice de Figue & French Tea L'Absolu Rouge Cream Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Delice de Figue (265)
Lancome Delice de Figue (265) L’Absolu Rouge Cream Lipstick (2022) ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a darker, plummy brown with subtle, warm undertones and a satin sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation paired with a lightweight, creamy consistency that was emollient without being overly slippery.
The product applied evenly across my lips and was forgiving of lip texture and lip lines. It wore well for five hours and was lightly hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$32.00/0.12 oz. - $266.67 Per Ounce
It was recently reformulated to be even more hydrating with "18 hour comfort" and "8 hour hydration" paired with an "ultra-creamy texture" and "intense color" that gives a "luminous finish." They distinguish the 18-hour and 8-hour claims from it being long-wearing, so presumably they are referring to how one's lips feel after the product as worn away or been removed (after fading).
Most shades had full color payoff in a single layer, while a few shades had to be built up. The texture was smooth, lightweight, and emollient without being too slippery or too thick, so the lipstick applied comfortably across my lips but wasn't prone to settling into my lip lines. The formula was more forgiving of lip texture imperfections and seemed to smooth out my lip lines more often than not.
They have a powdery floral scent, which is noticeable more in the tube than on, but it had a bit of taste initially to me. The updated formula felt very comparable to the last iteration, possibly a little lighter-weight and smoother on my lips. They wore between four and six hours and were hydrating.

PPermanent. $32.00.
French Tea (274)
Lancome French Tea (274) L’Absolu Rouge Cream Lipstick (2022) ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a softened, medium-dark peachy-coral with warm undertones and a cream finish. The consistency felt smooth, lightweight, and thin without being clingy, so there was enough slip for it to glide comfortably across my lips but not to slide around.
It had rich color coverage that adhered evenly and lasted nicely for five hours. The formula was smoothing and moisturizing while worn.

Delice De Figue looks like a great shade that I could see myself getting a lot of usage out of, but I probably do have something similar. But, I don’t know.
I like it too ! It’s been awhile since I’ve had a shade like this….time for me to revisit!
I actually like both of these medium toned shades -Delice De Figue reminds me a bit of Maybelline’s Mauve for Me and seems cool toned to me, whilst French Tea is a delightful warmer shade of darker peachy coral.
I can’t find the dupe lists. Am I totally confused, or just normally, I wonder.
Delice de Figue is quite a lovely lipstick, I think. I do hope I have a dupe.
Fixed!
Thanks! <3
