L'Oreal Panoramic Curl Mascara

This is a good drug store mascara, it isn't as cheap as Max Factor or Maybelline but it does it's job and it does a job better then most drug store mascaras. It separates lashes and makes them long and I did see a bit of curl in them, though not a lot. I did have a little bit of clumping however not as much as I have with maybelline mascaras. My mum was given this at an event, but because it was brown she gave it to me. This isn't actually that obviously brown, and I find they look less false lash with it being brown as obviously the colour isn't as sharp. I like this mascara, it is nice, but for the price I am not sure whether it is HG material and I doubt I would go to the shops to buy it, due to it saying "curl" in the name however it doesn't really curl my lashes much, even when I've curled them. So although it makes my lashes nice, it doesn't do what it says it should. Also because it is from L'Oreal, they test on animals and as a brand I think it is slightly overpriced. This is the only L'Oreal mascara I have liked, but it isn't the best mascara I've had.

L'Oreal Color Riche Lipstick in Pretty Peach

This is my favourite Color Riche lipstick. It is a beautiful pinky peach on the lips, very subtle and beautiful in colour. In the tube it kind of loves a very orangey pink, but it is a lot more pink on. The texture is soft and glossy, it goes on with ease and and it doesn't smell nasty or feel nasty on. This goes on the lips evenly and it is very pigmented, so you don't need to layer it on. I am not a fan of orange and coral lip products, however this has helped me change my mind since it really compliments my lips, and it is a lot nicer on then I thought it would be. Plus, it was as cheap as chips! The packaging is very cheap, I wouldn't think it would last all that long and it looks a little shabby, but I don't think it will easily crack if dropped. I love this but I am sad I won't be buying more L'Oreal stuff due to the way they do their testing.

L'Oreal Color Riche Lipstick in Berry Rose

This looks like a reddy pink in the tube, however on the lips it is more of a purpley pink, so I guess it could be classed as "berry". It is a very bright and eye-catching colour, it reminds me of Blooming Lovely from MACs Liberty of London collection, however this colour is more bright. It definitely is a unique colour that stands out. The texture is soft and glossy, it goes on with ease and and it doesn't smell nasty or feel nasty on. This goes on the lips evenly and it is very pigmented, so you don't need to layer it on. I both love and hate this, as I am not sure if it is a little too purpley for me to wear and not look like an idiot. But I got it from the factory outlet for a couple of pounds, so not much was lost by getting it. The packaging is very very cheap looking, and it has sticker gunk on it! :[ I have fallen out with L'Oreal stuff due to the way they do their testing, so I am glad I don't love this as I won't miss it when I buy no more of their stuff.

L'Oreal Color Riche Lipstick in Golden Vanilla

This is a nice brown nude, and it is a very rich but subtle colour. It looks scarily brown in the tube, but it goes on a lot more subtle. The texture is soft and glossy, it goes on with ease and and it doesn't smell nasty or feel nasty on. This goes on the lips evenly and it is very pigmented, so you don't need to layer it on. I wouldn't have normally got this colour but I got it from the factory outlet for a couple of pounds, and so I got it, and I'm glad I did. The packaging is very very cheap looking, but for the price I got it I can't complain. I love this but I am sad I won't be buying more L'Oreal stuff due to the way they do their testing.

L'Oreal Infallible Lipstick in Blush Obsession

I'd say this is a berry colour, it is more on the pink side then purple. It is a very light and subtle colour. The gloss makes it look a lot nicer then without. The texture of this lipstick is really not nice, it is so sticky and difficult to apply that it pulls on the lips because it isn't very soft it doesn't glide. It can also go a little bitty if you put too much on. This is virtually like a glue, it is so sticky it feels like it is gluing your lips together, and also feels quite drying. It also kind of smells like play doh. Once you put the gloss on it is so much better, it is shiny and it improves the texture of the lipstick. It looks really nice. This infallible lipstick claims to be long lasting, and I'd say it is, however the gloss you need to put on top is not, so reapplication is sadly inevitable, even though the colour does last. I feel this defeats the whole point. So the colour is nice and subtle and pretty, the texture of these lipsticks is naaaasty, the gloss is nice but needs reapplication frequently, the colour does last but the texture doesn't stay nice. So pros and cons with this really. I also found out L'Oreal tests on animals so I will not be buying anymore of their products.

L'Oreal Infallible Lipstick in Fuschia Fix

This is a fantastic bright and rich pink, the gloss makes it really pop. The texture of this lipstick is really not nice, it is so sticky and difficult to apply that it pulls on the lips because it isn't very soft it doesn't glide. It can also go a little bitty if you put too much on. This is virtually like a glue, it is so sticky it feels like it is gluing your lips together, and also feels quite drying. It also kind of smells like play doh. Once you put the gloss on it is so much better, it is shiny and it improves the texture of the lipstick. It looks really nice. This infallible lipstick claims to be long lasting, and I'd say it is, however the gloss you need to put on top is not, so reapplication is sadly inevitable, even though the colour does last. I feel this defeats the whole point. So the colour is fantastic, the lipstick is long lasting although the texture is not nice, the gloss is great but doesn't last, and it can have a problem where it gets bits of the lipstick kind of going into little balls on your lips (I don't know how else to describe this residue thing going on). Oh, and I found out they test on animals, so I won't be buying any more L'Oreal products!!

Review: Lipgloss

n this update I will be reviewing MAC Plushglass in Full For You, and L'Oreal Glamshine Volumizer in Fuschia Obsession.

Firstly; MAC Plushglass in Full For You.

This was the brightest pink they had, however the colour pay off isn't nearly as good as I expected. It smells a bit random, like a sort of gingerbready smell to it, but feels nice on the lips and goes on nice. It does plump up the lips a little. It was slightly glittery but not overwhelmingly so. Do not wear if you have slightly dry, chapped or very liney lips as it will create more lines, wont have a smooth finish and may get little clumps of lip gloss on the surface. It lasts a while on the lips.

I would give this 3/5 as it was nice, plumped a little, felt nice and tingly, could go clumpy and liney and the colour pay off wasn't as bright and glossy as I would have liked. It was expensive for the amount you get and they should have brighter more plumping colours. I would use it again though, but would make sure my lips are well moisturised first.

And the last one of the update; L'Oreal Glamshine Volumizer in Fuschia Obsession

I love this colour it is so deep pink and sparkly, and looks really glossy, sparkly and bright on. It lasts for ages, just looks a little less glossy as time goes on. It has a really good colour pay off. The only thing I am not keen on is the applicator which is flame/less rounded tear drop shape which is a bit furry and the shape makes application to the top lip a bit more difficult. Also gives a plumped look due to the deep and shiny colour. It smells like fruity candy though it may not be to everyone's tastes. I would say it was more glossy then the plushglass.

Overall I would give this 4/5 as it is a really lovely colour, gloss, sparkle, it smells nice and it does last a while. It is tingly and plumping just like the plushglass but it was half the price of the plushglass and you get much more. But it doesn't get full marks due to the applicator. I think your lips would need to be moisturised for this gloss too.
