L'Oreal

This mascara was a waste of my money. I was out of mascara and didn't have time to run to ULTA, so I snagged this mascara at the local grocery store while I was there buying groceries. I have had good experience with L'Oreal mascaras in the past. This one was horrible. Clumps, clumps and clumps. Needed to dig out my eyelash comb. Needed to work fast as this formula dries quickly. Flakes when dry, so when I as too slow to comb through my lashes I got flakes. End result: thick spider legs for lashes...ick! I gave it a good try, used it for a full week...then decided to toss it.

However the formula did not irritate my sensitive eyes, and it dries to a true black color.

Out of a collection of glosses and lipsticks, this is the lip product I reach for again and again. And again.
It's quick, it's easy, and very wearable with any makeup look.
I have this in 200 Lovely Mocha - a beautiful pinky mauve, MLBB.
The pencil shape allows for more precise application, even when you're in a hurry.
And it's exactly what it says it is: It has the moisturizing effect of a balm, and the shine of a gloss.

This was recommended to me and I'm glad I gave it a shot. I usually use Tarte's waterproof LCS mascara but I actually like this mascara better. I get great length and volume that builds well without clumps as long as I wipe the excess off of the brush before applying. Takes 2 seconds and I haven't had a mascara that I didn't have to do that with for the best application. It stays put with no smudging or flaking and doesn't irritate my eyes. It. It's less than half of the Tarte mascara and unlike the Tarte this holds a curl all day.

This is a very moisturizing product but doesn’t feel greasy or gross. It has a little bit of fragrance which I am not too crazy about. The overall performance on this product is very good. My skin looks plump and very rejuvenated. I recommend this to people with oily skin.

Pain Au Chocolat is one of L'oreal's many gorgeous nudes from the Monos line. It's a really unique shade because it looks like the name (Pain Au Chocolat means chocolate bread in French) - a shimmery cool toned pale brown nude. But once it hits the skin you can see some neutral pink undertones. Such a natural looking color, but the hint of shimmer gives it that little glimmer you want in makeup. Will definitely rebuy.
