When I received a packaged filled with L’Oreal products from Total Beauty, my eyes were pinned to L’Oreal Hip High Intensity Pigments Color Presso lip gloss. I’m a lip gloss fiend so I was very excited to test the new gloss.

The package came in two colors: Trendy and Swanky. They are both great glosses but I keep Swanky in by purse. The glosses give great moisture and shine. It’s not too sticky and adds a hint of shimmer. Being in two separate compartments, you can custom blend your desired shade which I think is pretty cool. There is one flaw to this gloss..

It claims that the gloss has high intensity pigments but I didn’t see it. There’s barely any color and it’s more sheer. I was expecting more color but it didn’t deliver. Not a gloss I would choose if I want a hint of color. Rate 3/5.

L’Oreal Hip High Intensity Pigments Kohl Eyeliners was next up for testing. The loose-powder  kohl eyeliner has very rich and shimmering shades however I am not thrilled about this eye liner. After testing the gold and navy shades I realized that though the colors were gorgeous, the application was a nightmare. The thin wand doesn’t glide on smoothly and it was a little messy.There’s no need to put in so much work to apply eyeliner.  It’s definitely not smudge-proof. I think this product would be perfect for a smokey eye and not a clean look. Rate: 1/5.  NAY!!

Both products are priced at $13 and overpriced so… save your money!
