Much like the much-loved 'Revlon Lip Butters', the L'Oreal Rouge Caresses are light-weight, buttery lipsticks that feel more like a tinted lipbalm. Easy to apply, these bullets of lovelyness are handy for on the go and can be applied without a mirror. They can be applied as a subtle wash of colour, or can be built-up to be more opaque. As they are quite sheer, they are quite glossy and are great for summer. They come in a shade to suit everyone from bright pink, to nude.
The colours I have are '202 Impulsive Fuchsia' and '301 Dating Coral'. I picked these colours as I thought they would make great summer shades (and are colours I don't already have in my collection).

'Dating Coral' is an orangey coral which isn't too bright - I find it really hard to find corals that suit my skin tone and that I am confident enough to wear.
'Impulsive Fuchsia' is a bright blue-toned pink that would flatter many different skin tones.
I really like the packaging as they are very sturdy and the top of the bullet is a metallic version of the colour of lipstick, making it easy to see which shade you are grabbing.
So, as I mentioned before, these can be compared to the 'Revlon Lip Butters' however, I think I prefer L'Oreal's buttery offering. They are not as 'slippy' so stay on longer and in my opinion, feel nicer on the lips.
The one downside of these products are that they sometimes cling to any dry patches on my lips so just make sure they are nice and smooth.
Overall, I would highly recommend the L'Oreal Rouge Caresses and they also have another version of this product - the 'Rouge Caresse Coeur de Perle', as these lipsticks have a pearly centre which gives a pearlescent finish.
