Olivier Rousteing of Balmain Paris and L’Oreal Paris have designed a capsule lipstick collection.  The collection come with 12 limited edition shades in L’Oréal Color Riche formula.  The line will include 12 new shades that fit into three different color themes, “L’Oréal Paris and Balmain share the same strong vision of femininity and the same goal, to empower women and offer them diverse ways to express themselves,” Rousteing explained. “With this collaboration, I’m thrilled to make this idea tangible for every woman around the world.”

It’s not clear of the lipsticks will be made available at all drugstores that sell L’Oréal, with an exclusive ‘jewel edition’ (jewelled packaging) lipstick sold in Balmain stores or select US retailers starting in September 2017.

**UPDATE 12/10/2018**

The L’Oréal Paris and Balmain collection has currently 5 shades available at Ulta Beauty for U.S. makeup fans.  See the available shades below.

Olivier will have a hand in everything from the packaging to the advertising campaign, as well as the lipsticks themselves.  Other than that both brands are being silent on the whole thing so far.

My thoughts:  I find the lipsticks to be a very rich in color.  Definitely brown girl friendly.  They are labeled matte.  However, they are not a lip drying matte.  The collection is hydrating and comfortable.
