There are many benefits to being a member of the Beauty Blog Network - one of them is the chance to review products that other members don’t review.

Thanks to Elke, the founder of The Beauty Blog Network I have the opportunity to review several new things for you - the first one is the Lancome Color Fever Lipstick in the color Prune drama girl.

I have to start out by saying that I love the name of this lipstick! Prune drama girl is just fun to say it, and of course, I’m one of those people that actually like prunes.

Prune drama girl is one of Lancome’s Color Fever Lipsticks.

According to the Lancome website:

COLOR FEVER delivers incredibly luminous, vibrant color. Color smoothly glides along your lips with sensuous comfort leaving lips feeling smooth and supple. LIGHT-MAXIMIZING PIGMENTS™ use light as a prism to bring you the most intense, lasting shine.

No need to compromise long wear for color, this lipcolor has it all – a long wear, hydrating texture that wraps your lips in cushioned comfort. Color stays true with no feathering or fading.

I was really impressed at how smooth the lipstick felt when I applied it. My lips felt moisturized, and I didn’t feel like I needed to immediately apply lip balm like I do with many lipsticks.

I was really impressed that I didn’t feel the need to apply lip balm for at least 30 minutes while I was wearing the lipstick - usually I need to apply lip balm more often than that when all I’m wearing is lip balm.

Of course since I do reapply lip balm so often, the color doesn’t last very long for me. I had to reapply the lipstick after about an hour.

I’m bad at describing colors, and I can’t seem to find a color description, but Prune Drama Girl is listed in the browns/neutrals sections on Lancome’s web site.

It seems to be more pinkish brown in real life, although on my monitor it appears to be more of a berry color.

I found that one coat of the Color Fever Lipstick is about two shades darker than my natural lip color.

If I apply more than one coat I get a darker, more brownish color, but it’s not overly brown.

Prune drama girl contains enough shimmer to make your lips look shiny, without having so much shimmer that it’s easily visible from a distance.

I really like this lipstick, and I love the color.

One coat is great for when I’m looking for a hint of color, while two coats can give me a more dramatic look.

I would definitely repurchase this.
