Today I am doing to do a review on the fairly new Glam Shine Stain Splash by L'Oreal. They are priced at £7.99 (through currently at Boots there is a two for £15 promotion on L'Oreal cosmetics) and come in a range of 6 different colours. The one I have is number 300 Juliet.
What they say:
It's a water based formula which creates long lasting colour whilst giving shine. Easy application with it's unique wand. Colour can last up to six hours without drying out.
What I think:
Firstly I think the packaging is great, they look great and seem way more expensive then they actually are. The wand is quite large but not too cumbersome and the product goes on smoothly. At first it feels quite watery but soon feels more like a normal gloss on your lips. The colour is really buildable - I myself put two coats on for maximum colour saturation, and the pigmentation is really great. As it's a stain your lips stay a lovely colour for hours after the product has worn off so it's perfect for those busy days were you don't have time to be constantly reapplying your lipstick. This is a great dupe for the Yves Saint Laurent Rogue Pur Couture Glossy Lip Stains. The finishes are pretty much identical so at £23.50 each the L'Oreal version is my clear winner. The only downside to the L'Oreal versions is that there is a rather limited colour selection and to be honest the one I purchased was the only one that really appealed to me so I wasn't too wild about the colour selection. Compare this to the YSL version and they have a huge 22 shade colour selection meaning there will be something for everyone!
Bare lips - before application.
Pros:
Great pigmentation and staying power.
Super cheap.
Great feel on lips and very moisturising.
Buildable colour.
Great dupe for the YSL version.
Looks great even once the gloss has worn off and only the stain is left.
Cons:
Limited colour selection.
The big decision:
This is a bit of a two parter for me... Will I buy this product again - yes but not for a while, as the answer to the second part, will I buy any of the other colours is a no. I did't really like any of the other colours available so I will be buying this again but only once this one has run out which I doubt will be any time soon!
