While we all know that the ‘90s are alive and well with today’s beauty trends, a lot of self-professed makeup junkies are on a nostalgic scavenger hunt for that perfect neutral shimmer. Enter L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Lipstick in Mica — the $7 cult classic that’s finally back in stock, and yes, people are still obsessed.
And when we say obsessed, we mean the kind of devotion usually reserved for limited-edition holiday cookies or your mom’s old leather jacket. “There are millions of lipsticks in the world; I myself have many,” one shopper admitted. “But this particular shade is my forever go-to.”
Fans say the soft, shimmery mauve lip color is basically the definition of “your lips but better,” with one review declaring, “This is my go-to shade. I love a neutral YLBB look to my lipstick and this shade is exactly that.” Another called it “a timeless neutral shimmery lippie that looks good on most people,” which is something of a rarity for lighter, mauve hues.
But it’s not just the color that keeps people hoarding tubes of this ’90s lipstick like it’s a Y2K reboot. The texture gets major praise too. “It’s creamy so it feels like my lips are moisturized,” one reviewer wrote, while another — who’s over 50 and not about to settle for a chalky finish — said, “It has pretty good staying power and isn’t too drying. I sometimes use a little ChapStick over it to give it a more ‘blurred’ look.”
Oh, and staying power? This shimmery lipstick not playing around. “It stays on all day whether you’re eating or sweating or whatever,” one fan shared. Another wrote, “I have had trouble buying [it] in the small town where I live. So I bought four at once and set it up auto delivery every three months. Mica is my shade now and forever!!!”
