L'Oreal - La Manicure 7-in-1 Saviour - Miracle Serum

This is a polish, not a serum.

The seven benefits are said to be stronger, reinforced (same as stronger), resurfaced, less split (same as stronger), less peeled (same as stronger),  less brittle (same as stronger), less ridged (same as resurfaced).
So it really is only two benefits it could achieve.

It does resurface the nail, because it is a polish.

I swear, the packaging people and formula people never collaborated at all in making this.

Once on, it is a translucent white which makes your nails a little pale.

As far as strengthening, I don't think it could do that.

Price: ($2.50 for 5mL)
New Name: 'This might help?' Polish
Effectiveness: 2/5

L'Oeal Paris - True Match Concealer - Vanilla

This is a relatively good colour match for me, perhaps a bit too yellow but that is good for hiding purple tones under my eyes.

It really sucks here that it is hard to get light enough concealers/foundations/powders because the derps in marketing think everyone has the same skin tones.
ALSO even when they do make a better range THE STUPID STORES ONLY STOCK A LIMITED PART OF IT! >:(

Everyone in this picture should be able to easily get concealers... except the babies, they would probably just eat it.

Colour match aside, this formula is TOO thin for a concealer.
It's like they just put some foundation in a little bottle and slapped a 'concealer' label on it.
If I have a Mt Vesuvius situation, this won't cover it!

The packaging it comes in is great. 
Small enough for a purse and the doe-foot applicator makes it easy to put on.

Price: 2/5 ($19.95 for 5mL)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real smell)
Effectiveness: 3/5

Birthday Gift! - For L

*Warning: This post has a curse word in it.

L is relatively new to make up, so Sam and I decided to get her a few basics.
These items can be used together, only some, or just one.
You don't need a full face of make up for these to make sense.

These are neutrals (although I will specify the concealer and lip colour are specific for L's skin tones).

I thought a good name would be 'The Basic Bitchez box'!

It contains a concealer, blush, lip crayon, eye shadow, mascara, and brushes.
And packaged in a recycled Bellabox box. (Yay, recycling!)

Feel free to use this idea, and if you do, let me know what you put in yours! :D

L'Oreal Paris - Revitalift - Day Cream

Apparently anti-wrinkle and extra firming, my face didn't change much with regular use (but I didn't expect it to either).

Let's go from the outside in. 

Solid glass container with some serious weight to it... you could bludgeon someone with it!

NO WITNESSES!

The lid is plastic, but a nice metallic red. The printing on both lid and jar is sleek and simple.

The cream is a good thickness for daywear and smells like sunscreen... which makes sense because it has sunscreen in it.
Funnily enough, I can't find an SPF rating. So I'm going to say it is SPF 1 elephant.

You can't prove otherwise!

It feels moisturising immediately and I quite enjoyed using it.

It contains Pro-Retinol A, vitamin e, and Par-Elastyl (no idea what this last one is).

Close enough.

Price: 2/5 (RRP $32.95 for 50mL)
Scent: 2/5
Effectiveness: 3/5

L'Oréal Paris - Colour Riche - Le Khol - Immaculate Snow

I like to use this for my water line (the thin line of skin between the eyeball and lower lash line). 
Putting white on your lower line makes your eyes look bigger (an extension of the cornea).

This pencil is soft enough to be gently pressed along the delicate eye skin,  but firm enough that it doesn't break off.

It is a good colour intensity (which is hard for white).

Overall, I can't fault it and is a good white eye pencil.

Price: 3/5 ($18.95 for 200mg)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no scent)
Effectiveness: 5/5

L'Oréal Paris - Elvive Extraordinary Oil - Nourishing Masque

I got this as a sample in a Bellabox and loved it so much, I purchased a jar!
I usually steer clear of anything that may weigh my hair down (like conditioner), but this just leaves my hair glossy, not heavy.

The packaging mentions 6 'precious' flower oils, which are: chamomile, matricaria (german chamomile), sunflower, sacred lotus, flax, tiare, dog rose. (there are 7 there, but I'm not sure which is the 'non-precious' one)

The scent is slightly spicy, but not strong overall.

It is thick, easy apply to the hair, and has a pretty gold shimmer appearance in the container.
It leaves my hair super soft and shiny :D

Price: 3/5 (RRP $9.95 for 300mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5
