Beauty and the Beast Lipstick Collection

LORAC Beauty and the Beast Lipstick Collection ($36.00 for 0.55 oz.) includes five, full-sized lipsticks in hues of pink, coral, and red. The MOD Cream formula is described as a “creamy, moderate coverage” lipstick. I, on the other hand, would describe the MOD Cream formula has a highly pigmented, creamy, and luminous lipstick with wear that varied from three and a half hours to six hours that was hydrating and comfortable to wear. The big “downside” was that the pigmentation was typically nearly opaque and only one shade was actually “moderate coverage.”

True Beauty

True Beauty is a soft, light-medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and warmer, fine gold pearl. It had medium coverage–the only shade in the set that was true to that particular claim!–that applied decently but was not as even as I would have liked. The more emollient texture seemed to make the lipstick more prone to settling into my lip lines, though it wasn’t as noticeable from a normal viewing distance. The color lasted for three and a half hours on me and was lightly hydrating.

Red Rose

Red Rose is a bright, medium red with cool, blue undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation paired with a lightweight, lightly creamy texture that was less thick and less emollient compared to other shades in the set. Instead, the lipstick appeared more natural on the lips and like a stain. The color was still going strong after six hours of wear and left a moderate stain behind. The formula was lightly moisturizing to me.

Belle-ieve

Belle-ieve is a medium pink with warm undertones and a cream finish. It opaque pigmentation that applied evenly to the lips with a very lush, creamy finish that had noticeable shine. The consistency was smooth, creamy, and had a moderate slip, which made it comfortable to apply as well as to wear. It was a bit thicker than the average lipstick but not heavy. This shade lasted for four and a half hours on me and was lightly hydrating over time.

Tres Chic

Tres Chic is a medium-dark, plummy brown with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied well to the lips–even, smooth coverage–that sat well on the lips and didn’t emphasize my lip lines. The texture was smooth, lightly creamy but not heavy or thick on the lips, and the soft sheen made my lips appear fuller. It wore well for four and a half hours and was lightly moisturizing.

Savoir Faire

Savoir Faire is a medium peach with warm undertones and a cream finish. It had good color payoff, though not opaque, was still quite pigmented and not aptly described as “moderate coverage.” The texture was creamy, light-medium in thickness, and had a fair amount of slip, which made it more prone to subtle streaking, especially if I pressed or rubbed my lips together. It wore well for four hours and had a bit of color that settled into my lip lines over time, though the formula was lightly hydrating.

Those L’Oreal lipsticks weren’t even new for the Beauty & the Beast release — they were old L’Oreal shades that were and still are available! The company just put some B&tB paper stickers on the lipstick cases and charged double for them. :-O

Katherine T. Avatar

Oh I didn’t know that! I don’t want the whole set, just Belle-ieve and Tres Chic –what permanent L’Oreal shades are they?

Susan Avatar

The **L’Oreal** set was re-runs, not this Lorac set. (I posted earlier with a link to the L’Oreal B&tB lipsticks that showed what old shades they were, but I don’t think that made it through.)

Sherri Avatar

I want these! Ulta is out of course, and I just went to my local Ulta and they did not have them either. Have a $50 gc, so this would be a perfect opportunity to spend it. I really love the roses on the packaging. I used to buy Lorac lipsticks, but it’s been awhile since I’ve bought one.

This set is totally sold out online and allegedly not coming back, but the official in-store launch date for the entire line was June 25th. A lot of my local stores didn’t even get them in stock until the 24th, so I knew they couldn’t have put them out early. I tracked the in-store availability through the app and I went yesterday and purchased it. They had three left (but I’m not sure how many they were delivered in the first place.) You could try calling your local store now to see if they have any?

We try to approve comments within 24 hours (and reply to them within 72 hours) but can sometimes get behind and appreciate your patience! 🙂 If you have general feedback, product review requests, off-topic questions, or need technical support, please contact us directly. Thank you for your patience!
