Maybelline and L’Oreal Haul & Express Review

Hey guys,

So recently I did this really big haul from Maybelline and L’Oreal from their color riche range. I love their products and most of them are really value for money, also most products I got were on my which list for long time.

So without further ado, let’s get to the Haul

Products I got:

L'OREAL PARIS COLOR RICHE LA PALLETE NUDE (INR 1399)

I really wanted to try these pallets for a long time. I got both the pallets Rose & in Beige. Both the pallets have very neutral everyday shades. Most of the shades have matte or satiny finish. That is one of the reason I got these palate as I had eye shadows that shimmer in them. All the Eye shadows from these pallets are very silky and easy to work with. Color payoffs of some shades are much better than others and would definitely require primer underneath for the colors to show better. I’m not someone who wears lot of colors on my eyes so both these pallets are very useful to me.

L'OREAL PARIS LIPLINER COUTURE (INR 699)

Next up I got these beautiful newly launched lip liners from L'Oreal, and I cannot emphasis enough how much I love them. So I got 3: 374 Intense Plum, 461 Scarlet rouge and 258 Berry Blush. They are the softest lip liner that I have ever used and color payoff is mind blowingly good. You can literally use them as lipsticks; they are that soft and moisturizing.

All the three shade are prefect for all daily use. My favorite is Berry blush & the fact that it is very Kylie Jenner shade is a bonus Yay!!

Top to Down:  374 Intense Plum, 461 Scarlet rouge and 258 Berry Blush

L'oreal Color Riche lipsticks (INR: 899)

I wanted these lippies since the time they launched. I got 4 lipsticks from this range: 115 Rouge Corail, 131 Mistinguette, 132 Magnolia Irrelevant, 133 Rosewood Nonchalant. Again these lipsticks are just beautiful; they are really soft and moisturizing. My favorite is 131 Mistinguette, it’s a lovely every day pink shade and my go to color right now. Their stay time is around 3-4 hrs. and leave a lovely tinted lips once they wear off.

Lto R : 115 Rouge Corail, 132 Magnolia Irrelevant,131 Mistinguette,133 Rosewood Nonchalant

 Maybelline Baby lips candy Wow (INR 275)

I can never leave Maybelline counter without buying their baby lips lip balm and this time was no different. I picked up 2 variants: Orange and Mixed Berry. I loved the packing and the vibrant colors of these lip balms. They have good color payoff and one can even use them alone for natural looking lips. I generally like Maybelline Lip balms so no qualms there.

TOP to Bottom : Orange, Mixed Berry

MAYBELLINE WHITE SUPER FRESH COMPACT (INR 150)

This product was not on my wish list per say but I was in need of good compact and I thought what the hell and got this one for me, it’s in shade shell which suits me fine. Coverage is sheer to medium. It’s a decent compact if you are on budget.

So that’s all the products I got, do let me know what you think of my Haul and also if you want me to review any of the products in detail. Thanks for reading.

Za true white two way foundation (refill) shade 22

Hello beauties,

After using za whitening day cream I visited there counter in Indian beauty center (Mumbai ) for night cream and that’s when I saw this compact/foundation. I dint really need but got it just the same as I was really intrigued by it.

Just like inglot refills we have to buy the refill and its case separately. I only got the refill without its outer case as the plastic packing of the foundation is pretty sturdy and durable. i got shade 22 coz i have yellow undertones and its a perfect fit...

Price: just the refill is for 550 INR  Case + refill is around 900 INR

Quantity: 9 g  

Ingredients and Product description:

Claims:

                                      

Packaging:

It comes in simple plastic box. Box contains a foundation powder and application sponge. Application sponge is packed in separate plastic which becomes pretty useless after you open it. The foundation case is very sturdy and travel friendly and doesn't open easily in commute.

Texture and coverage: it is excellent. The powder is very silky and fine and soft to touch. It gives medium to full coverage in one application. It is a two way foundation which means that you can apply it with wet sponge for heavier coverage or with dry sponge for medium coverage.

                                          

My experience:

My skin is acne prone combination type which tends to be on oilier side in summers. It is a 2 way foundation but I usually apply it over my foundation to extend its wear time. However I have tried applying it with wet sponge just once to check out if it is really two way foundation or not and I was really pleasantly surprise that it was!!!

It went on smoothly with no patchiness or giving cakey effect or feel. Plus it stayed on for around 5-7 hours even in Mumbai’s humidity (at night). As a compact powder it stays on for 4 hours which is really a record for any compact in the sweltering heat and humidity of Mumbai in summers. I’m sure its stay time will increase exponentially in winter and in drier climates. I got shade 22 which is perfect match for my skin tone. It has lot of yellow undertones so will be suitable for Indian beauties; it comes in 5 shade so I’m sure all the ladies will find their perfect match.

It blends very easily and doesn't give white cast or chalky effect but matches perfectly with the skin. It has a mild sweet smell but it vanishes after few minutes of application also the smell is not sickling sweet but very pleasant which will mostly not bother any ones sensitive nose.

Also it doesn't easily transfer on your cell phones or shirt collars. It is a wonderful product for ladies with oily skin or oily t zone as it controls the shine very effectively and gives a matte look also it doesn't require frequent touch ups. Dry skinned ladies can use it with moisturizer underneath. I have a huge acne problem and most of the products don’t suit me but this one dint cause any breakout or even mild acne problems for me. Yay!!! Also it has SPF 20 PA++ which mean one really doesn't require sunscreen underneath.

Only thing that I dint like is the applicator. It is not totally useless but not really useful as well. So I mostly just use my powder brush to use it.

Overall I really love this product and at this price it is complete steal away.

Pros:

• Has vitamin E which really good for skin
• Really smooth and fine texture
• Blends easily
• Good shade range
• Good coverage
• Excellent stay time
• Did not cause any break outs
• Flawless and natural look
• Affordable

• Value for money

Cons:

• Applicator is not so great
• No detailed ingredient list
• Dry skinned beauties may find it difficult to use

Rating:

5/5

Would I Recommend it:

Definitely I’m completely in love with this product. Everyone must try it especially if you have oily skin.

Would I repurchase it?

Yes, definitely, as soon as I’m done with this one
