What the gurus are saying

The lipstick's durability takes a hit from the L'Oreal stamp pressed into the side, which can cause it to break off at that weak point and make a mess as it comes out of the tube. However, the shade appeals to those with darker skin tones, and the price point makes it an accessible option for people looking for affordable color without breaking the bank.

"One thing I will say about it, you know, they stamp L'Oreal into the side of the lipstick and I honestly think they should not do that because I think it kind of compromises the integrity of this lipstick. It has a tendency, I think, [...] to break off at that point where they have stamped in the L'Oreal. Plus, the way that this comes out of the tube, it kind of has a tendency to bang up against the side of the wall and make a mess."
