Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatches of the L’Oreal Rouge Signature Lightweight Matte Colored Ink in the shade 116 I Explore.
If you saw my review of the other shades of this line (I Rule and I Enjoy) you know I love them, so when I saw this shade I thought I could pick it up for you.
It was one of the most looked for on google and I wanted to give it a go.
You can get it from Ulta for 11,99$
COLOUR
This shade is a medium brown nude.
PACKAGING
It has a classic tube, usually, the name of the shade is on the cap but mine was missing the sticker. It doesn’t say anywhere the name of the lipsticks which I find quite annoying.
The heart-shaped wand is PERFECT to put the lipstick precisely on, even without a lip liner.
FORMULA
This lip product it’s a tint, which means that is going to stain your lips and last for a long time.
When you apply it is very liquidy once it sets it becomes matt and long lasting. It’s very smooth and not patchy at all but it needs a bit of layering.
The formula is incredibly lightweight and not drying at all, I can go hours and forget I have it on. It doesn’t transfer.
SWATCH
LASTING POWER
On me, it lasts about 6-7 hours before it starts to rub off on the centre of my lips and gets too uncomfortable which is rather impressive. You can eat and it will slightly disappear in the centre of the lips but you can layer it again.
RATING:
- Colour: 6/10

GRADE: B+
These lip tints are awesome but I don’t like this colour on me. I think it really ages me but it would look amazing on a darker skin tone. The formula is amazing to work with. It goes on smoothly and it’s super comfortable. I have to say both the lasting power and the applicator are the things that make them so special.

I would go for this! I like the color and I like that it lasts a long time. That’s what I normally look for when I buy lipsticks.
The lasting power is amazing!
Aww, I don’t think it ages you at all. I love the look on you, actually. This is totally a color I would wear.
Thank you! It would look amazing on you!
This looks so pretty on you! I’ve been looking for a tint for a while and I love the lasting power and color of this one. I’m on the more olive, caramel shade so hopefully this one will work!
This would be gorgeous on you!
Oh I really like that color, I actually really love the color on you too! I don’t think it ages you at all
You are so kind! ♥️
I’ve tried one of these and totally agree that the formula is thin, but dries down quite nicely. I love this brown-toned nude – its such a perfect grungy shade for Fall!
I agree one that, it has that Whirl vibe
There isn’t a color that you can’t pull off girl!!! So jealous, this looks great! I like the subtleness of the color for me.
Yea I’m gonna have to try this one!
The formula is awesome!!!
