L'Oreal

I have tried so many shampoos. High end and drugstore. I have a lot of fine and slightly wavy hair. My roots tend to get oily while my ends are normal to dry. I do color my hair. I decided to try this shampoo. I’m glad I did. I’m on my 3 bottle and I hardly repurchase the same shampoo. The shampoo can leave my hair feeling a little dry in the shower. I use another more moisturizing conditioner from LOreal. When my hair is dry,my hair feels soft. Not frizzy or dried out. My roots stay normal. I can go 2 days without washing my hair. That’s saying a lot. I’ll continue to repurchase

I got the waterproof version. I really don't understand the hype of this mascara. The reviews show a wide range, from HG to very bad. After trying this product, I don't know if the youtuber's reviews are reliable. This is my honest review, paid with my own money. The packaging feels flimsy, but the brush itself seems quality, and the product dispensed is just right. The formula upon opening is not super wet. Upon application, the lashes are volumized, and did not clump much. But my lashes felt so stiff, and the resulting look did not look nice. Lashes felt heavy, and weird. Layered ok, but if taken too far can look spidery. This product is super difficult to remove! I use DHC oil cleanser, but the mascara refuses to melt, despite me soaking mu lashes in oil before I rinse. Can be irritating to the eyes and skin as I remove my makeup. I really don't understand the hype. This mascara is too difficult to remove, and the result it achieves is not great anyway. Get japanese drugstore mascaras instead, they're generally waterproof and could hold a curl.

So I'm also looking for a good primer. This one is a proper dupe for Tarte's smoothing primer. It's surprising not a bad primer at all. Mousse like consistency. I pat this over my T zone only. My foundation wear well over this primer. No offensive fragrance. No breakouts. It's just in a jar, and it get under my nails when I scoop out the product. L'Oreal needs to tube this primer.

It does work but it makes my skin too dry and creepy which makes me look old and tired, it dries matte and it my makeup looks terrible, couldn't really apply my foundation over it, looked extra wrinkled.

I bought this liner in Sage for $4 at Wally World. It goes on smoothly, does smudge, but I like a softer formula because I slightly smudge any liner I use instead of using a hard line. This doesn't dry and flake either. The color is a perfect sage green and goes well with both green and brown shades of eyeshadow. I would prefer something a little less soft so that it doesn't smudge further on it's own, but for $4 I'm ok with it.
