Givenchy Phenomen’Eyes For Less: L’Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara

Only a few short weeks ago, I reviewed Givenchy’s Phenomen’Eyes Mascara, the sold-out popular lash darkener with a funky applicator. This fan favorite is designer priced, putting it out of range of many pocketbooks. L’Oreal has seized the opportunity to offer a mass market friendly version with their Telescopic Explosion Mascara. I got a press [...]

A Shade For Every Skin Tone? L’Oreal True Match Super Blendable Makeup

I have an extremely hard time finding foundation to match my skin color. I have yellow undertones, but every makeup I’ve tried seems to either be too pink or too pale. You probably have this problem too, since I doubt we all fit into 24 different shade possibilities. L’Oreal set out to remedy this problem [...]

Extend Your Summer Glow With L’Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze Luminous Bronzer Self-Tanning Lotion

Self-tanner is always a little tricky.

The smell didn’t seem as strong as I remembered it. Nevertheless, I tried it on [...]

24/7 Eye Pampering: L’Oreal Revitalift Deep-Set Wrinkle Repair 24 Hour Eye Duo

They come in lots of shapes and sizes and formulas, but mostly they come in small containers with big price tags. I’ve had the pleasure [...]

Good Looking Lashes With L’Oreal Extra Volume Collagen Mascara

I think the claims on mascaras are the most outrageous claims in the beauty industry. L’Oreal Extra Volume Collagen Mascara is no exception. “12x More Impact Instantly” screams the packaging. What is that supposed to mean anyways? They aren’t actually claiming 12x more volume (although the french translation underneath it does). The silly thing is [...]

Easy Glamour With HiP Color Presso Lip Gloss and Kohl Eyeliner

I’ve seen L’Oreal’s line HiP (high intensity pigments) for years and thought they looked cool, but totally unwearable. Their ads showed beautifully shadowed eyes where greens would fade into yellows and think “even if I could do that technique, I’d never wear eye shadow like that.” Plus the idea of makeup of really intense colors, [...]
