L’oreal Paris Shine Caresse Lip Color Eve, Pretty Woman Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: The next generation lip colour, that combines the texture & shine of a gloss with the long wear of a stain. Delivering a lasting colour with a subtle glossy shine. The unique formula comprised of 30% water and 60% oil provides an exceptionally high level of moisture, allowing for 6hr hydration. Concentrated soluble colour pigments create a subtle wet look with a weightless feeling on lips.

MRP: Rs.499/- for 6ml

Shades Available:

  • Eve
  • Milady
  • Faye
  • Juliette
  • Pretty Woman
  • Lolita
  • Bella

Ingredients:

L’oreal Paris Shine Caresse come in this beautiful sleek gold packaging with L’oreal Paris on one side..and a see through in between to see the shade..if you have more than one of these..so no confusion there.

These look like a gloss but are more of a stain..are pretty pigmented..and once set on the lips..these do not budge..the glossiness wears off after 1-2 hours..and these stay for 3-4 hours leaving behind a deep stain which stays like much longer..and needs to be removed with a makeup remover.

They have a doe foot applicator…and its quite easy to use..only issue is..they have a little weird smell..and the lighter shades like Pretty Woman would not cover pigmented lips and stay for a lesser time..

L’oreal Paris Shine Caresse Lip Colors are supposedly YSL Glossy Stain Dupes ! I have not tried YSL ones, so cannot compare..if any of you have tried both..please share the differences you notice, if any.

605 Eve is a fuchsia pink with fine silver shimmer..brightens face instantly.

900 Pretty Woman is a rosy milky brown..an MLBB shade.

Here are the lip colors on me..

Pretty Woman
Eve

Pros:

1. Pretty packaging.

2. Economical.

3. Pretty pigmented and stay for 3-4 hours and stain much longer.

4. Has an easy to use doe foot applicator.

5. Feels quite light on lips.

6. Available in 7 pretty wearable shades.

Cons:

1. Have a weird smell.

2. Lighter colors might not show up on pigmented lips and stay a little lesser time.

Overall, I love these..the idea of a gloss cum stain..it being so light weight, pigmented and long staying..they do what they claim..and are economically priced too for a quantity of 6ml..both these shades are wearable and nice..I like the shades Lolita and Juliette too.

Sleek MakeUP Matte Me Rioja Red, Gloss Me Kiss & Tell, Cranberry Crush Review, Swatches

I had mentioned about Sleek MakeUP’s Matte Me and Gloss Me HERE
What the Company claims: With 6 stunning shades to choose from, Sleek MakeUP’s Gloss Me will be the name on everyone’s lips, literally.At last, long lasting lip gloss with plenty colour power as well as staying power is finally here!

Matte Me Shades: Fandango Purple, Brink Pink, Rioja Red, Party Pink, Petal & Birthday Suit

Gloss Me RRP £4.99 or $6.99 each
Matte Me RRP £4.99 or $6.99 each

Today I am reviewing the shades 438 Kiss & Tell and 439 Cranberry Crush in Gloss Me and 433 Rioja Red in Matte Me

Comes in a regular square transparent gloss packaging with a black cap..has a doe foot applicator.

Kiss & Tell is bright orangey blue toned red with silver bluish shimmer and Cranberry Crush is a sheerer watermelon pink with silver shimmer again.

Rioja Red is a bright blue toned true red.

Gloss Me are loaded with shimmer and sticky in formula..though they stay well and are good in pigmentation..I would say these are like any other normal glosses..nothing too different..

On the other hand, Matte Me are amazing..completely matte but yet non drying, full opaque coverage..and stays well..but ya they do flake a little with eating and drinking and needs to be reapplied…and one has to apply neatly with a brush and work before it sets which is about in a few minutes..


Swatches..my mehendi is peeping in :p

T-B: Rioja Red, Kiss & Tell, Cranberry Crush

Here is it on me..

L-R: Kiss & Tell, Cranberry Crush, Rioja Red

I made the mistake of not using a lip brush for Matte Me..and sorry for the uneven application..I would suggest using a lip brush for Matte Me for a neat, even and proper application..it takes some time to set..but once set is completely matte.

Overall I loved the Matte Me..and found the Gloss Me pretty ok..good in pigmentation and staying power..I would have preferred less stickiness and shimmer though..

  • Pink Ice
All of these shades have little shimmer..but not all are OTT..I loved the shade Papaya the most followed by Strawberry and Rose Gold.
Papaya is a true coral orange with very fine golden shimmer which are not much visible or do not bother much.
These glosses are non sticky and quite moistursing. I love the long sleek packaging of these..and the applicator is such that it exactly fits the shape of your lips. They have a sweet vanilla smell.
And this is how it looks on me..
You can buy it from Healthkart..they usually have discounts on it..
Pros:
1. These are totally non sticky and very creamy and moisturising.
2. Being a gloss they are quiet pigmented and stay for a good 2-3 hours on lips.
3. Though they are priced higher than other glosses the quantity they offer is also huge..I guess no gloss offers 5.9 ml of quantity.
4. These have a shelf life of 3 years..so do not worry if you have too much makeup and think you can never finish stuff.
5. The applicator wand is shaped to exactly fit the shape of your lips.
6. All the shades offered are pretty good.
7. The shimmer is very fine and not OTT and neither does it stray away from lips.
8. I like the long sleek packaging.
9. It has sweet almond,olive,chamomile and avocado extracts.
Cons:
I did not find any cons with it actually !
Overall I am in love with this…the shade, the texture, packaging, everything..
