LOVE!

This is hands down one of my favourite drugstore mascaras! I'm always recommending people to buy this. When it's on sale this is only $5, best deal for what it can do. The packaging of this is what I like the most about this, when you buy this product the wand is packed separate from the rest of the mascara. What I like to do with the wand is to bend the wand into a curl before placing it in the tube that way the wand can hold my lashes as I apply the mascara and the makes applying this mascara easier. The formula is great, really dark and not really heavy so it holds the curl. This mascara does everything for me in 2-3 coats, it lengthens, separates, volumizes and there is no clumping. I use this mascara daily, so it does not last a really long time. The good thing is that there are always sales at my local drugstores for this product so I've repurchased this many MANY times. This mascara also cleans easly, not mess and just cleanser or remover will take it all off. This is a definate must buy!

Doesn't do too much

I decided to try this mascara since it was part of the Lash Blast series and I love those products. This one comes in an interesting package where it tapers at the bottom. It comes with a rubber wand that is really long and skinnier than the other Lash Blast mascara wands. I find that this product has a nice consistancy in the formula. When applying this to my lashes it does help to hold the curls. It defines the lashes well, giving it a bit more length. It does not clump due to the rubber wand, but there is absolutely no volume with this mascara. Even if you apply mulitiple layers, it does not bulid. I did repurchase this mascara because I liked how this helped hold the curl and separate my lashes, but I also layer this with many other mascara products to bulid up my lashes. I also find this to be great to use on my lower lashes, I don't usually wear lower lash mascara, but I find that this one just darkens my lashes slightly to give it a tinted look.

Good product

I have tried 2 of these in Peaches n' Cream (Pinkish peach with shimmer) and another shade Crush which was similar to it but it had chunkier glitter in it. There is a good colour range for this collect, it's not great but I'm sure that you can find something that you like and is wearable. I find that packing is nice and standard for a lipgloss. The formula is not too sticky and it does make your looks have a nice glossy look. With this product you do need to reapply if you eat or drink. I find that the shades with the chunkier glitter was too much, the glitters literally sit on your lips and make your lips look overly glossy. Also if you clean up the super glittery ones it will leave the pieces of glitter on your lips still. If you want to try this I would go for the normal formula and not the extra glitter. This is nice to wear alone or over a lip colour

Good colour

I got this lipstick in the colour Temptress; it's a bright pinky coral shade. I'm not really much of a bright lip colour person, but I think this shade really complimented my skin tone! This lip product comes in a nice sleek package and I love the idea that it has the shade on the bottom so when you are storing it you know what colour to grab. This was a bit on the pricey side ($9), so I had really high expectations for this. The colour is really nice and pigmented, just one coat and it's pretty true to the colour you see in the tube. I really like how the formula is smooth and moisturizing. I can wear this without gloss for a more matte like finish or put some gloss over it to really make the colour vibrant. This lipstick surprised me because it lasted ALL night! Even when you drink or eat the colour stays on and throughout the night I only had to reapply some gloss once just to prolong the colour. The only thing that I don't like about this lip product is that the smell/taste isn't too good, it's not really an intense smell BUT you can taste the smell when you wear it and it's a slight chemical/floral baby powder taste. I haven't actually used this product consecutively for 7 days to see if it really gives you the "beautiful lips" that it promises to do. I just don't think bright colours is a daily look for me. I think that I can over look the smell/taste of these lip product and I might even pick up some more shades to try when they do go on sale.

Love

I have this in Pink Blush. It is a gorgeous warm toned bright pink. I find that this lipstick packaging is nice, small and compact for storing. The formula is nice and creamy and it does have some shine to it so you can do with or without gloss. It has a nice smell to it, something light and not too intense. The lipstick is well priced but isn't as long lasting as I would like it to be, you do have to reapply after you eat, drink or in the middle of the day. I've been complimented many times while wearing this shade, so I highly recommend this lipstick and this shade. The collection comes with a range of great colours so I'm definately going to go back for more!

A good surprise

I got this palette in Petal Pusher. I was nicely surprised at how nice these colours looked on me and how well these colours were to build. I especially liked the purple side of the palette, it made a great coloured eye for me. The packaging is a bit cheap but it does comes with a clear cover so that you can see all the colours in it while you store it with the rest of your makeup collection. This is very creamy and pigmented shades. I find that these shades are easy to blend and great for mixing and matching. I did accidentally drop this palette on my tiled bathroom floor and it did break a couple of the colours. I guess because the colours are so creamy and smooth it is looser so I would be more careful with it. This palette was a GREAT price, the colours are fun so this is something that I would definately recommend and I think I will also go back and get the other shades as well if I can get my hands on it.

Worked for me

I used this in the summer time to enhance my skin color from natural sun tanning. This product is quite pricy but it did work for me. I really liked that this came in a spray bottle formula which was really easy to use. I used this product after I exfoliated my body. I used this for about 2-3 days in a row and it did turn me a couple shades darker than what I was. I didn't think that the staying power of this was good, only lasted about 3-4 days before it started getting steaky and at that point I would have to exfoliate it off. I found that this would also leave some areas (mainly my feet and palms) really REALLY tanned to a point where it turned a burnt orange colour but all the other areas were quite smooth. The worst thing about this product is that it smells HORRIBLE! The smell will last for days and when you apply it, it's pretty sticky even if you wait an extra while for it to dry. This does give you a self tanned result, but I don't think I would recommend this based on too many negative things it offers.

Not exactly what it says

I was really excited that L'Oreal came out with this lash serum product at a drugstore price. It took me a while to get my hands on this product. When I finally got it I used this product religiously for about a month and by 2 weeks I did get good results from it. This did not actually make my lashes grow longer, but it helped to keep my lashes from falling out; which gives you the look of fuller lashes. If you use this product at night it does have some residue left when you wake up in the morning, but that is easy to clean off. I find that when I use this serum in the morning it acts like a primer for my lashes. It hold a curl really well and it makes mascara application smoother and easier to layer. The formula does get thicker the more you use it, but the wand applicator makes it easy to apply to your lashes still. You do have to wait for it to dry a bit before you curl your lashes or apply mascara. I find that although it does not make your lashes grow it does help to build thicker looking lashes with makeup. This is something that I still use daily, and I have recommended it to friends who have more sparse lashes.

Not the resulted that I hoped for

I was very excited to try this product, it claims to do all great things for your damaged hair overnight. Since I really enjoyed products from this line I thought that I would give it a try; and I did find this at a discounted price. I have dry ends from all the damage that heat tools have given me. That was what I wanted to repair mainly. First of all I could not get over the smell! It's a very intense coconut sunscreen smell which is really not pleasant to have in your hair when you are sleeping. This product felt greesy and sticky when applying. I found that the only way that I could keep this product in my hair was to tie my hair up in the bun and then go to sleep. The next morning my hair looked really greesy and still had the horrible smell in it. There was not residue on my pillowcase though which was a plus side. After washing my hair I did feel like my hair was soft, but it didn't make a huge difference after my hair was dried. My ends were still dry looking (which was where I had concentrated this product when I was applying it). For me this wasn't a miracle product even after giving it more tries. I find that there are better products to help protect or repair your damaged hair. So save your money on this product and invest in the shampoos from this line.

Good

I tried this shampoo because I do enjoy using L'oreal products and this was also on sale at my local drugstore. This is a product that I used couple of years ago (went through many bottles) and have since then stopped using it.This product has a really nice smell to it and a bottle of this will last you a while. I do find that the shampoo doesn't deliver on everything that it claimed. It doesn't not really make my hair glossy, since my hair is pretty dry at the ends from all the heat tools that I use. I also find that this does not keep your hair smooth like it claims, my hair was still frizzy and the only way I could get rid of that was using a straightening iron on it. Also when the weather is humid this shampoo does nothing to keep it smooth. When I was using this product I had dyed my hair (bleach was involved) and when I was rinsing out this product it made my hair hard and super tangled. This is a good priced product, but I have found better and stopped using this.
