Swatch, FOTD - L'Oreal Colour Riche Caresse Wet Shine Stain Stubborn Plum

My adorations for this drugstore hybrid lippies are well documented here on this blog.
I won't be reviewing this in details since it's been done so many times. Basically L'Oreal Wet Shine Stain is an affordable and sheerer version of the Yves Saint Laurent Glossy Stain.
I ended up with 7 shades after giving one away and replacing a lost one. I think Stubborn Plum is my 6th one. Honestly, I would have bought it sooner if it had a different name. I mean, Stubborn Plum?  ;-/

L'Oreal Colour Riche Caresse Wet Shine Stain Stubborn Plum

The applicator

Stubborn Plum is a sheer purple pink.

I have a hard time connecting this feminine and almost naive color to its weird name.

I find the lighter shades from the range go on even sheerer than the bright ones, and Stubborn Plum is not an exception.

The color shows up nicely on lips as it deepens a little bit once applied.

This swatch pic was taken 30 minutes after the application.

On my medium pigmented lips, Stubborn Plum is read as a cool mauve-y pink.

Overall look

(Makeup items used for this look is listed below.)

L'Oreal Wet Shine Stain Stubborn Plum is another winner in my book. 

The color is sheer but it defines the lips nicely. Plus it feels quite light on lips and is long lasting, which I find more suitable for summer. Mind you that it is fragranced with a boozy floral scent and a little bit sticky.

BTW, it seems L'Oreal has relabeld this "Aqua Lacquer". Does anyone else think it adds more confusion to the already mouthful? ;o

Thanks for looking.
