My Experience With L'Oreal Paris Infallible Le Rouge Lipstick Forever Fuchsia 138:

Packaging: The lipstick comes in a dual color form casing with the bottom half being opaque black colored and the color coded translucent cap which is well coordinated with the color of the lipstick. It's easy to identify the color if you have more than one lipstick of this range in your stash. The shade number (138) is written on the bottom of the case. The brand name L'Oreal is cutely embossed on the cap as well as on the lipstick. The cap shuts nicely with a click sound which makes it travel-friendly. I have not experienced the issue of the cap being loose or not shutting properly with the passage of time. The packaging looks chic and classy.
Shade: The shade is gorgeous fuchsia. It's a perfect hot pink color, especially for the summers. You can, of course, wear it in winters. I love the fact that despite being the vibrant color it is just not in your face type bright. It's a subtle everyday wear shade which is not over the top but surely lightens up those gloomy days. It does brighten up the face in an instant.

Texture/Formula: The texture is adorably smooth and creamy. It glides like a dream without tugging or pulling. It is quite moisturizing and hydrating and you can even skip wearing a lip balm underneath. I have dry lips and apply lip balm every half an hour but with this, I didn't reach out for my lip balm even once. It doesn't accentuate my fine lines or dry patches but it is advisable to exfoliate your lips prior to applying this because after application it sets into a semi-matte finish which might cause dryness after a few hours. The formula is rich moist which as I said becomes semi-matte within 15-20 minutes. It applies evenly with a glossy finish. At this stage, you might notice a little transfer of the color but after it is set, it doesn't transfer much.
Pigmentation: The pigmentation is fantabulous. It is highly saturated and the color payoff is superb. It gives the right amount of color in just one swipe. You can swipe multiple times to intensify the color but trust me you won't notice much of a difference in multiple swipes because it gives the desired opaque finish in just single swipe (do look for the differences on hand swatches for proof).

Staying Power: Staying power of this lipstick is something to rave about. It stays put on my lips for amazing 8-9 hours in between meals and drinks. After a few hours, it starts to fade from the middle part of the lips, nothing that you cannot correct. When the color is completely faded, it leaves behind a beautiful "not so removable" stain on lips. I love this fact because the stain looks pretty and it can be applied as a lip stain as well (bonus point for that). By the way, I tried to remove the stain with coconut oil, it didn't get removed. I then tried using a makeup remover, it definitely lightened the stain but the stain didn't completely come off. So if you are someone who doesn't like stains on lips, you might not like this lipstick.

Pros Of L'Oreal Paris Infallible Le Rouge Lipstick Forever Fuchsia 138:

• Oh so pretty hot pink color
• Rich creamy texture which settles into a semi-matte finish
• Staying power is commendable
• Applies evenly without tugging or pulling
• Color pay off is extremely impressive
• Can be applied as a lip stain as well

Cons Of L'Oreal Paris Infallible Le Rouge Lipstick Forever Fuchsia 138:

• Price is little on the exorbitant side but for the performance it gives, it won't pinch your pocket.

Final Note:

I am enchanted by this lipstick already. It's a brilliant bright pink color which can be used every day. If you want a subtle muted look, you can definitely use it as a lip stain and apply a lip balm to ease the dryness.
