L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Superstar Mascara.

I'm always looking for the best mascara so when my sister picked up the L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Superstar Mascara on our recent CVS shopping trip I knew I had to try it for myself. You see, Cindi immediately put on this mascara following our drugstore haul and her lashes were transformed. I had to put this primer and mascara to the test for myself.

L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Superstar Mascara.

L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Superstar Mascara is just that: a primer and mascara in one package.

On one end of the tube there is a mascara primer and this is no ordinary primer. This mascara primer is a super-volumizing base that helps to build dramatic volume instantly onto each lash. It's lightweight so it doesn't weight down the lash. It simply creates volume as it lays down a smooth and even base to maximize the effects of the mascara. It's white so you can see exactly where you apply it.

On the other end is the mascara. This mascara is fiber-infused and it adheres right onto the primer/lashes. It applies easily with the curved brush. It seems to lift my lashes and add a ton of volume to them along with dramatic length. Because of the primer, I only need to apply two coats of mascara.

Before applying the mascara, I let the primer dry for about a minute. I'm not sure if this is recommended, but after trying to apply when the primer was too wet, I didn't feel like my results were as good.

I did not experience any clumping or flaking with Voluminous Superstar Mascara but I did have a little bit of smudging with the regular mascara toward the end of the day. I wasn't sure if this was due to my concealer and the mascara not playing nice so I picked up the waterproof version and I didn't experience any issue of smudging. I really love the length and volume I get so the L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Superstar Mascara Waterproof it is for me.

L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche La Lacque & Le Matte.

I have a problem. I am a lip product junkie. I don't think I can leave a store, whether it be a drugstore, mass retailer (Target, Walmart, etc.) or department store without picking up a new lippie. I even leave the Dollar Store with a new lip balm every time I head in there too. I just cannot resist a beautiful lipcolor. It literally changes the way a woman looks and feels about herself. When I saw the new L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche La Lacque & Le Matte I knew I would be looking for more of these beauties at the drugstore because they are very unique. In a lip pen form in both matte and glow formulas, these highly pigmented shades are irresistible.

L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche La Lacque & Le Matte

Before I get into each of the new L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche formulas, I just need to say how easy these sleek lip pens are to use. The pens are portable and twist up with a sharpened tip. But they don't apply like a "pencil", they are more pen-like as these are creamy and easy to apply. That's because the formulas are infused with Argan Oil and Safflower Seed Oil for a soft and smoothing appearance delivering deep hydration. In addition to that, nourishing oils, La Laque and La Matte also contains a blend of Vitamin E and antioxidants so lips are healing while wearing. That is always a good thing. And color payoff is incredible with both formulas - long wearing too.

L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche La Lacque

La Lacque is a super smooth high-gloss finish lip color. Like I said, it applies easily and is super unexpected right out of the pen applicator. I get six plus hours of wear of high shine color. There are five shades of La Lacque.

  • Choco-Lacque
  • Lacque-y You
  • Lacque-y Charm
  • Lacquerized
  • Lacque and Roll

L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Le Matte

Le Matte is somewhat more pigmented with a comfortable, creamy feel. This is full on color with a matte finish, but not dry, matte. The colors are beautiful and it's very long-wearing. The full on color lasts about 6 hours with some fading but there is some color left behind that lasts most of the day. There are also five shades of Le Matte.
