With the L’Oréal Through the Looking-Glass Color Riche Lipsticks You’ll Really Feel Like You’re in Wonderland

I’ve always loved Alice in Wonderland. First, the marvelous Disney movie when I was a kid, and then the brilliant books as an adult. If you’ve never read them because you thought it was just children’s literature, let me tell you that, well, it’s not.

Both Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass are full of witty word play and striking symbolism, which in my opinion make them more deeply enjoyable for an adult rather than a child (provided you like that sort of things).

But anyways, today I’m here to talk about lipsticks, not books!

To celebrate the new Through the Looking-Glass movie, L’Oréal has recently released six of their existing Color Riche shades in GORGEOUS themed packaging inspired by some of the main characters: Alice – 345 Cherry Chrystal, The Time – 116 Charme Doré, The Cheshire Cat – 226 Rose Glacé, The Mad Hatter – 163 Orange Magique, The White Queen – 374 Intense Plum, and The Red Queen – 377 Perfect Red.

What I find particularly impressive is that not only does each one of the lipsticks have a unique packaging design, but they’re also encased in different materials. For instance, green canvas for The Mad Hatter, white faux-leather for The White Queen, and red velvet for The Red Queen.

Major thumbs up to L’Oréal!

If you’re wondering about the formula, what you need to know is that the Color Riche Lipsticks are creamy and glossy, yet pretty long-lasting. The biggest drawback for me is the scent, which I really dislike (does anyone like it?!), but at least it dissipates rather quickly once they’re on the lips.

The RRP for the Through the Looking Glass Color Riche Lipsticks is €16, but I got them on amazon.it for €9.90, which I think is an amazing deal for such unique lipsticks. I couldn’t find any information on this limited edition on any foreign websites, though, so I’m afraid it’s an Italian exclusive.

The Cheshire Cat

“And how do you know that you’re mad?”

“To begin with,” said the Cat, “a dog’s not mad. You grant that?”

“I suppose so,” said Alice.

“Well, then,” the Cat went on, “you see a dog growls when it’s angry, and wags its tail when it’s pleased. Now I growl when I’m pleased, and wag my tail when I’m angry. Therefore I’m mad.”

I’ve always thought so… 😉 – Sorry, crazy cat ladies!

Do you like Alice in Wonderland, too? Have you seen the new movie? And what do you think of the new L’Oréal Color Riche Lipsticks in themed packaging?

On a completely different note, over the next couple of days I’ll be in Verona (the city of Romeo and Juliet) for Adele’s concert. Add me on Snapchat (carolinapage), if you want to follow my adventures! 😉
