There are so many lipstick choices it can seem overwhelming so Lancôme Official Makeup Artist, Lora Spiga has some advice for picking colours:

First determine what colour family you prefer. Warm or Cool.

Choose a colour from the “Jolis Matin” mood within your preferred colour harmony. This would be the ideal colour to wear to start your day. For example: If you like warmer tones, I’d recommend Jolis Matin in Rouge In Love, if you prefer cooler tones, a great colour would be Rose Pitimini. After lunch with friends, perk up the lips with a brighter more playful colour. The “Boudoir Time” mood would be perfect. A warm choice would be Miss Coquelicot and if you prefer cool, try Violette Coquette. And of course, for that after work dinner or party choose a colour from the Tonight is your Night mood. As a warmer choice try Rouge Saint Honore and a cooler choice Violine Lamee.

Ideally you want to choose 3 shades to compliment your moods throughout the day. Choosing 3 shades within the same colour harmony will ensure that your make-up always looks beautifully balanced. 

Of course, Rouge in Love encourages women to pick your lipcolour based on how they feel at a given moment. For instance, if they feel joyful, they would most probably feel more like wearing a punchy shade, whereas if they feel more romantic they would probably choose a softer shade.

I tried a couple of the rose shades from the collection and I was kind of surprised by the way they look in the tube - like they could be matte. The way they feel on the lips isn't like a moisturizing lipstick feels either if that's your preference - they feel very light but not slippy the way a moist one does, but as you can see from the below swatches - they look moist and shiny on!

Rose Pitimini - I just love the golden sheen this one has!

Rose Sulfureuse - a very sexy rose!
