L’Oreal Colour Riche Lipcolour
Monday, January 2nd, 2012
Red lipstick is definitely in! We saw the Beyonce’s ad for L’Oreal Colour Riche Lipcolour in No° 315 and decided to give it a try. On the ad, the color looks like more of a brick red, but in person it’s more of a vibrant coral red. It’s very bright (although it looks subtle in the ad) so this shade is not for the faint of heart! What we liked the most about this lipstick is that it’s pigment rich without drying. If you wear true lipsticks then you know that can be a huge drawback. The Colour Riche formula contains Omega3, Vitamin E, and Argan Oil which are all moisturizing ingredients. This lipstick will kiss off and leave marks on drinking glasses, but since the pigment is so great it fades away beautifully.

L’Oreal Double Extend Eye Illuminator
Monday, November 21st, 2011
We tried L’Oreal’s Double Extend Eye Illuminator just in time for the holidays. This mascara has different shades to complement individual eye color. However, we tried Black Crystal, which is for all eye colors. There are two steps to this mascara. The first one you use to lengthen your eyelashes. This is probably the best mascara we’ve tried so far in terms of lengthening and separating. It really makes every lash stand out. And there are no clumps, so the effect is more ‘I naturally have long lashes’. The second step is used for ‘illuminating’ your eyelashes. It’s not a very obvious effect but if you stand in light you can see the light reflecting pearls in the mascara. This side of the mascara also has a sphere brush which we found to be very useful to do our lower lashes.

L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Le Gloss
Monday, November 14th, 2011
When we saw the Jennifer Lopez ad for L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Le Gloss we had to try it! We tried the Blushing Berry shade and loved the feel of the gloss. It gives high shine but doesn’t feel tacky or greasy. It’s also great for your lips and contains hydrating Omega 3, vitamin E, and Argan oil. We wished that it was longer-lasting, but L’Oreal gives a generous amount in the tube so you have plenty to reapply.

L’Oreal Magic Smooth Souffle
Thursday, August 25th, 2011
If you like Maybelline’s Dream Matte Mousse foundation, then you’ll also like L’Oreal’s Magic Smooth Souffle. Similar in texture, it gives the same full coverage. Our favorite part about this makeup is that it makes your skin look flawless, but it actually feels light on the skin. And since this foundation has a great matte finish, you don’t have to worry about using a powder to set it. If you like a more natural coverage, then this foundation isn’t for you. For something lighter, try their True Match Super Blendable Makeup. It’s one of our favorites and you can start out light and build coverage to your taste.

L’Oreal Youth Code Eye Cream
Monday, August 15th, 2011
We like companies that recognize that some people have the misfortune of having both under-eye circles and wrinkles. L’Oreal’s Youth Code line contains GenActive Technology, which is said to boost skin’s natural powers of regeneration. The eye cream in this line has a metal tip applicator which helps to de-puff under-eye bags, and the formula itself has micro-pearls which diminish the appearance of under-eye circles. We found this eye cream to be excellent for day. It’s not greasy so it goes well under makeup, and we found after continued use we had less problems with eye makeup settling in lines.
