Le French Touch Absolu Nu in Cotton Candy($35) is an ultra sheer, limited-edition pink lipstick part of Lancome's Spring 2012 collection. The lipstick comes in a cute special edition packaging, very classy looking.
Cotton Candy looks a little too bubblegum-ish on the tube but goes on way sheerer than how it looks. The color can be described as a sheer, soft cool toned baby pink with no hint of shimmer or glitter. It has a nice glossy sheen. I apply it very lightly, probably a couple of swipes. Too much tends to wash me out a little. It is a great everyday shade subtle by itself and pairs well with neutral and smokey eyes. The texture is more like a tinted lip balm and glides well on well-prepped bare lips. With a lip balm underneath, it does tend to get a little patchy. If you have extremely dry lips, prepping is essential. The lipstick feels absolutely weightless and balmy. The soft feel and light weight makes it an amazing pick for the warmer months ahead.
The staying power is about 2-3 hours after which it is completely gone. Overall, Le French Touch Absolu Nu in Cotton Candy is a nice, sheer lipstick with a slick, glossy finish. I wish it lasted a bit longer than 3 hours on me. The packaging is very beautiful and makes for a great collector's item.
