Nude shade is wonderful; get it!
-03.03.13
Quick Take: creamy, moisturizing, smells and tastes great like cupcakes!, very flattering, good for all ages
I ordered the Nude Scene lipstick online after reading many, many reviews for nude lipsticks. Right now this is THE hot shade to have, and makes its way onto the Red Carpet as well. After reading through what seemed like a hundred reviews of various lipsticks, I chose this one. And I love it! Beautiful and classy container, glides on like silk, wonderful nude shade, contains SPF 15 and other terrific ingredients. Extremely flattering on most lips for white girls. Smells and tastes really nice, like a cupcake! I recommend this lipstick.

I've never owned a nude lipstick before & this one has me hooked. It looks perfect with me skin tone & I've tried multiple colored lip glosses over the top of it & have love ever one. Highly recommend this purchase.

Such a good lipstick!
-01.11.13
Quick Take: long wearing, creamy, moisturizing, stunning
This lipstick was my first, and I cannot say that I regret buying this product at all! I wasn't familiar with the brand beforehand, but now that I've tried, all lipsticks pale in comparison. I love the creaminess, long-wearing aspect of it, and it is my go-to shade for those dramatic nights. People ask me what I'm wearing, but I don't want to tell them; it's that good! I'll recommend to all and any that ask me what he/she or they should use. Buy, buy, buy!

Pleasant surprise
-01.10.13
Quick Take: creamy, moisturizing, spf benefits
I bought this in Premiere, looking for a natural day look. I liked that it's pareben free and has SPF, but in the past I didn't have luck with Lorac. At first I didn't find this too special -- another pink lipstick that wore off like the others in my drawer -- but I've since changed my tune. When paired with Urban Decay's ozone lip pencil, this stuff wears on and on. Once the slight sheen has worn off, I'm left with a very lovely stain that's the color of my lips, only intensified. Though I don't know how long the SPF lasts, it's nice to know that it's there for at least a bit of my day. This is a very nice, neutral shade of pinky rose that I've been reaching for nearly every day. The problem is that the UD pencil needs to be sharpened constantly; without the lip pencil, this goes back to being another short-lived wonder. For now, I'm enjoying the pair.

high quality multi-tasking product
-01.06.13
Quick Take: creamy, moisturizing, smells good, high-quality ingredients, antiaging
I am so impressed with the quality of the ingredients in this product. It is paraben free, has SPF, has antiaging antioxidants, is moisturizing, and it smells great. The only down side to this lipstick is that it doesn't last very long. I do find it fleeting. I also wish there were more colors. I personally love the color nude scene.

One Amazing Lipstick!
-12.31.12
Quick Take: long lasting, smooth, creamy, great fragrance, awesome
This lipstick has been one of my favorite purchases this year!
The product is very creamy and applies smoothly with great coverage/pigment delivery. I've also found this lipstick to be long lasting and very moisturizing.
Another great perk: It smells wonderful! Like marshmallows :)

Returned it

I found that this lipstick feathered too much, I didn't think it had a creamy texture, in fact, it was more drying than expected, and the color was too artificial looking. I was hoping for more.

Not moisturizing enough for me but you should try
-11.13.12
Quick Take: creamy, long wearing, gorgeous color
Lorac Breakthrough Performance Lipstick, in Ingenue.
I have very dry lips - as in I have to reapply chapstick every couple hours. Because of this I haven't been able to wear any lipsticks - since this one is supposed to be so moisturizing I was hoping it'd be an exception to my rule. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. It still dried me out in under an hour.
The color was the best red I've ever seen, I really wished it had worked out. It did seem very creamy and applied nicely with strong pigmentation. Again - this is more about my body than the product so do give it a try as long as you don't have super dry lips like me.

Quick Take: long wearing, creamy, moisturizing
I got this lipstick in Leading Lady and it has quickly become my favorite lipstick. I'm not big on color or even big on lipsticks, but I have to admit this is the BEST product ever. The color is gorgeous, it is creamy and just a dream. I'm a medium olive color and find that this red really works well with my skin tone. Over I would highly recommend!

-08.10.12
Quick Take: creamy, moisturizing
I love the texture and feel of this lipstick - I just feels great on. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is because I feel like it wears off relatively quickly. Other users are raving about how long lasting it is, so this might just be me.

-08.01.12
Quick Take: disappointing
If only this lipstick worked for me, because LORAC products are usually great. The color and feel are beautiful--at first--but the sunscreen dries my lips terribly. After an hour, they feel grainy and parched.

Quick Take: creamy, moisturizing
I am always on the hunt for the perfect red lipstick with my red hair, and I have found yet another choice with Lorac!!
Now please don't discontinue it like the last one.
Also I LOVE the tube, feels good in my hand, and is so sharp!
I use a lip sealer (being over 50), than a lip pencil and than the lip color, lasts almost all day, love it.

Really great creamy texture that lasts what seems like all day! I swipe a few coats on with a lipliner and I don't have to do a single touch-up while I'm at work. Would highly recommend!

Quick Take: creamy, moisturizing, long wearing
This lipstick is almost perfect (nothing is truly perfect, right;?). It goes on creamy, yet does not feather. It feels great on my lips, is non-drying, and the color is fantastic. Premiere is a great neutral pink that is a great everyday color. I ended up buying Nude and Ingenue as well because I loved this lipstick so much.

blah
-03.31.12
I have a few favorites I go to for lipstick, and I guess for my tastes I should have stuck with those. I bought this hoping for long wearing, long lasting, creamy results but was not impressed. I chose a neutral shade so I wasn't expecting much color but what there was did not last more than 1 hour per application with a lip balm/chapstick underneath. Even with the frequent application of chap stick, the lipstick frequently dried out and feathered visibly, and I felt like I had to continuously apply for any effect. I ended up returning the product for a "juicier" tinted gloss which gave me the plump and pouty lips I was looking for.

Quick Take: moisturizing, long wearing, creamy
I love this lipstick so much that I am writing my first online review ever. I always buy it in Nude Scene. The color is long lasting, it sooths chapped lips, and I get compliments on it all the time. The more you layer, the glossier it gets, but you can wear it as a sort of matte lipstick if you put on a minimal amount. It's my go-to lipstick for most days.

Nothing's perfect, but this lipstick comes close!
-03.05.12
Quick Take: moisturizing, long wearing, creamy
I was thoroughly impressed with this lipstick: it is creamy and moisterizing without feeling greasy or feathering, it goes on smoothly and stays put for a long time. It also has SPF and no parabens, etc., which is another plus. I chose the color "Premiere," which is a natural-looking, rosy pink. It's a fantastic color - pretty and flattering without making others notice your lipstick rather than you. This is my new favorite lipstick line - I will definitely be buying more colors!
