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.

 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.

Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Iconic 1

Price: 1200 Rs (got at 50 % discount during GOSF)  Where to find: Jabong.com

As a person I keep on having lot of phase in my life and same is true about my makeup obsessions. So right now I’m obsessed with eye makeup and you all can expect a lot of eye product reviews. 

So coming to today’s product……

Girls ladies and beauty queens….I present to you newest runner for Urban Decay Naked pallet Dupe…..The….Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Iconic 1. There are total 3 pallets one for each of naked pallet, but I got only the first one to try it out

They are quite popular in blogging community and considered to be naked pallets dupe…now I don’t own any naked pallets but from comparison of online swatches I would say that they are pretty close match if not exact.

Also these are super affordable and now available in India….

Coming to the review part..

Packaging: 

It has a very basic plain packaging.. It has a very sturdy lid and double ended sponge applicator which is of ok ok quality won’t really use it for eye shadow application but maybe for inner eye application.. In this you get 12 eye shadows of 14 gms each.

Ingredients:

Shades:

It has mixture of shimmer satin and matte shades. Eyeshadows are placed in narrow strips just like in Naked Pallets. As they don’t have any names we will use numbers for reviewing it…

  

Shade 3 and 5 are matte and pretty much same color as my skin so the swatches are not visible but they are perfect for blending and softening the eyeshadows.

Shade 1 is perfect for highlighting the brow area and also the inner corner of eyes.

Rests of the shades are either shimmery or satin in shades of neutral and are perfect for every day makeup. 

Shade 12 and 11 are actually shades grey but looks more blueish in pan and some swatches, but it's actually beautiful shades of gunmetal and perfect for smoky look.

all the shades are beautifully pigmented and very easy to blend. Using the primer underneath brings out better color and helps color to last much longer without creasing for almost 6-7 hours.

Swatches: (without primer)

 

Experience:

I find this pallet to be really versatile as you can use it for both night and day time look. All eyeshadows are really smooth feel very soft and buttery. They have very little fall out and stayed for 4-5 hours on me in Mumbai heat and humidity. Their stay time can be significantly increased by using primer or eye base underneath. I tried them with primer and stayed on me the entire day without fading, which is quite amazing especially for the price.

I feel this pallet is a gorgeous product specially if you are new to eyeshadows and are still experimenting and finding your way around them.  

 

Rating:4.6/5

Recommendation: I absolutely recommend them to everyone.
