L'Oréal Paris - Men Expert - Shaving Gel - Sensitive Skin



I love how shaving cream foams up! 

The smell is a not too overpowering "generic male smell", fresh, a little marine, a little lynx.

It also won't give you a rash (like some shaving creams will).

Price: 4/5 ($6.95 for 200mL)
Scent: 1/5 (generic male)
Effectiveness: 4/5

L'Oréal Paris - Revitalift Laser X3 - Anti-Aging Power - Eye Cream



I'm sure the 'X3' is just to make it easier to accidentally find this product when a non-internet savvy person (usually older) looks up keyboard emoticons.

It is a thick cream, the applicator working really well to distribute it.
I also like how the metal of the applicator is cold on the eye skin.

After applying it the night before, my eyes look refreshed and smooth.

Price: 1/5 ($44.99 for 15mL, I got it on sale for $15 muhahahah!)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
Effectiveness: 4.5/5

Clarins Paris - Fluide Super Hydratant Multi-Confort


The instructions say to apply it in the morning... you aren't the boss of me, bottle!

The thin fluid smells like vinegar and flour... WHY!?!

A basic face lotion with a weird stink!

Price: 3/5 ($44.12 for 50mL)
Scent: 2.5/5
Effectiveness: 1/5

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

 L'Oréal Paris - Color Riche L'Extraordinaire- 401 Fuschia Drama



This is a gloss with a moderate colour pay off (more than what you would expect from a gloss).
The colour does end up staining a little, which could be good or bad depending on what you want.


To show you how colour intense it is.

Swatch!

Stain left by swatch!

Full lip application!

It is very shiny, but will catch your hair. (just like glosses are known to do!)

It has a faint chemically-cake smell and has a large, flocked doe-foot applicator.

For the full price of the product, I don't think it is worth it.
(I got mine on sale for $2, so I can live with this.)

Price: 2/5 ($21.95)
Scent: 2/5
Effectiveness: 3/5

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
