PackagingThe L’Oreal Paris Glam Shine Balmy Lip Crayons comes in a color coded, retractable crayon packaging with a silver cap. Due to the twist up mechanism one does have to sharpen the crayon, hence, no product wastage. The cap shuts tightly and will not come off while traveling. It has the shade name mentioned at the bottom and the color coded packaging also eases shade identification.

Pinky CherryPinky Cherry is a cool toned pink; it contains very fine silver shimmers that are very subtle and isn’t really visible on the lips. L’Oreal Pinky Cherry will flatter light to medium complexions.

Texture & PigmentationL’Oreal Paris Glam Shine Balmy Gloss has a creamy and hydrating texture. Despite being buttery it does not melt away in summers nor will it settle into fine lines or accentuate dry bits of lips. Pinky Cherry is moderately pigmented and gives a semi-opaque finish in 2/3 swipes. Neither it delivers full coverage nor covers pigmentation of lips. Hence girls with pigmented lips might need to wear a pink lip liner beneath or try Pomegranate Punch from the same range.

Overall VerdictL’Oreal Paris Glam Shine Balmy Gloss Pinky Cherry is a cool toned pink that will flatter fair to medium complexions. The balmy, smooth texture, hydrating formula, affordable price tag is some of the thumbs up quality of this lip crayon. But the color pay-off and staying power could have been better. I will recommend trying out Pomegranate Punch, a reddish pink shade that will flatter Indian complexion pretty well.
