L’Oreal Voluminous Full Definition Mascara Review

L’Oreal Voluminous Full Definition is the mascara designed to boost volume in the eye lashes. It contains Vitamin E, Pro-Vitamin B5 and Ceramide- R. According to the label, the mascara does not create flake and clumps. L’Oreal has also promised that it is okay for those have sensitive eyes and wear contact lens. 

The brush is said to be technology advanced. It should work like a comb to separate the eyelashes.  So many features in one mascara? It sounds too good to be true. But does it really deliver these features to the user? Let’s know it from the review.

Benefits:

L’Oreal Voluminous Full Definition comes in a bigger tube and its price somewhere between $5 to $7. So buying it can be a win-win situation. You will be getting more mascara in lesser price. L’Oreal Voluminous Full Definition is perfect for all those who prefer natural makeup less look because it brushes the lashes nicely to give them a natural fuller look. The most interesting fact about this mascara is that it contains Vitamin E. This little ingredient actually boosts lash growth and prevents it from falling off. Perhaps, that is why, when I wore the mascara I did not see my lashes coming out.

Full Definition also seems to dry off in the lashes quicker. So after wearing it, there is less to worry about getting stained lids. Another important thing is that such feature makes the mascara touch proof. I actually have a habit of touching my lashes. But interestingly, after wearing this mascara, every time I touched them no black stain came on my finger. It felt as if there was nothing in my lashes. Last, the mascara does give them a volume.

Problems:

There is no way, it is possible to use second or third coat of this mascara on the lashes. The result of doing it is quite terrible. The lashes become over clumpy. Add this with the volume feature and you will get theatrical eyes. No, this term has no connection with being sexy or dramatic. The association is actually with Broadway shows where actors have to wear fake lashes to make their eye expressions more visible to the audiences.  If you have never been to Broadway shows think about moulin rouge ladies or show girls. Yes, the mascara ends up making the lashes like theirs.

The wand or brush of this mascara can be taken as a pain in the neck. It simply has no interest in giving a curled up look to the lashes. Instead, it leaves them straightened. The next problem is that the mascara gives some kind of irritation near the lashes. I am not sure whether every user noticed this problem. L'Oreal mentions that Full definition is okay for sensitive eyes and that they found this result from testing. The test i ran says the opposite.Every time I wore this mascara, I felt a burning sensation around my eyes. However, it was short lived. Yet I will say that Full Definition is not for the sensitive eyes. The irritation simply cannot be ignored. 

Verdict:

L’Oreal Voluminous Full Definition is a bit too ordinary. It performs an average job in embellishing the lashes. Yes, it does give volume, but again the clumps are a bigger problem. Since more than one coat of this mascara cannot be used people who want just a touch up and natural look will find it beneficial. I am having trouble digesting the fact that it gives irritation in the eyes. This makes me little suspicious about what is really in this mascara. For all this, I give it 2 out of 5 stars.

L'Oreal Color Juice Sheer Gloss Lip Pencil Review

I remember buying two  L’Oreal Color Juice Sheer lip pencils only to leave them in my cosmetics cabinet unused. They were still in a sealed state. By the way the two shades I have are chili pop and pink swing. 

Just yesterday, I unsealed the chili pop to see how it would go on my lips. There was basically no surprise. It was just another glossy lip gloss with thick color as shown below.

You must know that sheer gloss has been replaced by its tube version. We already talked about that couple of months ago. There seems to be a slight amount of change in the formula. The pencil version does not smooth out the rough edges of the lips. It just has a cheap quality. The oily gloss actually remains too wet over the lips just like all other old lip gloss products. I will just say that the pencil is way too ordinary. It is good that L’Oreal discontinued this product. 

A fat lipstick or lip gloss in pencil form is never an exciting thing. Yes, it is easy to use. But the sharpening can really be a hassle. Losing the cap can be another big trouble. That almost leaves the product attractive to dust.

L’Oreal Infallible Le Rouge Lipcolor Review

L’Oreal is quite clever at coming up with a good packaging for its products. By and by, they are actually getting skilled at it. Look at L’Oreal Infallible Le Rouge lipcolor for example. The silvery tube wrapped in transparent plastic cap appears so elegant. Perhaps, that is why, I got tempted to buy its refined ruby shade. According to L’Oreal, this lipstick has 10 hours of staying power.  Its color is designed to appear luscious and defined. Additionally, the lipstick contains Vitamin E to keep the lips moisturized.  It all seems to make Infallible Le Rouge more advanced than other lipsticks. But before you can fall for it just read what I have found out about it.In general,  I test drive makeup products up to 3 months before I sit down to write reviews about them. This is what I tried to do with L’Oreal Infallible Le Rouge also.  But unfortunately, I failed! Yet just like before, I will explain the benefits I received from this lipcolor. Of course, we will take a look at why I failed in my experiment, but it will be in the problem section of this post.

Benefits:

The texture of Infallible Le Rouge somehow reminds me of my mom’s late 80s lipsticks. It is thickly creamy and slightly glossy. But time has changed and Infallible actually reflects the advancement of the cosmetics making technology. It glides very comfortably onto the lips. A little bit of hand shiver does not even make it over and out!

Once I wore it on my cracked lips. The result was amazing. There was basically no irritation whatsoever. Meanwhile, the cracks softened and disappeared under the color. So I can say that yes it is true that Infallible does contain Vitamin E. Another thing is that the lipstick does change the look of the face in a bold way.  There were actually times when I wore it without any makeup and still appeared fresh and bright!

Problems:

I mentioned earlier that I grabbed the refined ruby shade of Infallible Le Rouge. But after I wore it, I realized that I got cheated.  Refined ruby was not actually of ruby color. So be careful when you buy this lipstick. The mirror revealed that I was wearing deep magenta.

Now why I could not test drive Infallible Le Rouge longer? From where do I begin? First of all, this lipstick stains the teeth. It is embarrassing! Thank God, I found out about it right at home. What is more annoying is the fact that this stain is not easy to remove. Also the lipstick does not have any wish to stay longer on the lips. It goes away very easily especially with eating and drinking. As soon as I saw all this happening, I understood that I got my answer. No further experiment was necessary. I will still give here an example of how the lipstick does from one rub. Notice the image given below. I ran the lipstick on my hand.

Then I gave it a rub with my finger. Just one and nothing more. The result was this:

Do you see how it easily loses the color? This should imply to you that this lipstick color might look thick and creamy, but it actually is very thin. That is why, it loses staying power from touches.

Verdict:

L’Oreal Infallible Le Rouge does not fulfill its mission of staying on the lips for 10 hours, but it does have the power to make a face appear fresh and bright even without makeup. I will just say that it is designed to be worn for formal parties, for it is capable of complementing evening gowns.  But again, who wants to do deal with an embarrassing situation occurring from lipstick stain on teeth? Just think carefully before you pick up this lipstick for yourself. I myself will not recommend it to anyone. As a matter of fact, from me, it gets 3 out of 5 stars.
