L'Oreal HIP Color Presso Lipgloss

This is my favorite lip gloss of ALL time. I love every thing about this gloss. The tube it's in. The colors they put together. The fact that you can mix them together for the shade you want. The feel, smell, taste. 
I wasn't really into coral/peach or pink colors but this has got me into them. I was on the L'Oreal website and you can create a beauty profile there and from that profile the site will show you what colors from which products you should try and the website suggested this for me. 
One day I had to go to CVS to return an awful mascara i bought the other day, but instead of just returning it I decided why not exchange it for something different, so i scooped this up and couldn't wait to put it on. The package was open and I was applying it before we reached the car. And that's all it took, i take it with me everyday now. 
The formula is thick and a bit sticky, which not everyone likes, but I love it, thats what helps it stay on your lips longer. It finishes with a nice sheen, and the color i mix it to is perfect, it even got my boyfriend to comment on how great my lips looked. It smells sweet and tastes sweet. (also my boyfriend doesen't like to kiss me if i have anything on my lips, even chap stick, but he doesn't mind kissing me with this on)

Pros: Thick, customizable, sheen, smell, taste
Cons: price, sticky
This is a little on the pricey side, but I have spent more on worse lip glosses. Definitely going to buy more colors.
Two thumbs way up up up

L'Oreal HIP Mascara

This is my HG mascara. I absolutely love it and cannot live without it. I never knew the L'Oreal made a HIP mascara because it has never been at my local CVS or Rite Aid. I would see these tutorials and YouTube videos with this mascara and thought it a shame because it must have been discontinued before i even knew it existed. WRONG! It was hiding at Walgreens this entire time.  I went into a Walgreens with my grandma randomly one day and there it was, and i had to have it. From the minute I opened it I loved it, the brush wasn't big, but full. There was no scent, the formula was nice to my sensitive eyes. No flaking, no clumps, no smudging. The color is dramatic. It adds volume to the base of my lashes and then lengthens them as well. It does everything I want it to! The very next day I decided to only wear mascara and through my glasses my grandma commented on how amazing my lashes looked! I think I might just go and stock up on this mascara just in case it gets taken off the shelves.

Two thumbs way up, if i could, I'd throw my whole body up.

L'Oreal HIP Eye shadows

I am obsessed with the L'Oreal HIP line. This is one thing that L'Oreal has done very well. I have more HIP items then any other brand. I am extremely please with their eye shadows, i only have three so far, but they are well used. 
There are 5 different kinds of shadows in this line, metallic shadow, crystal shadow, matte shadow, bright shadow and a concentrated shadow. All together there are 40 different duos in different finishes! Thats amazing, to me at least.

(dynamic)

The three i have are Charged which is a metallic shadow duo and Cheeky and Dynamic which are both concentrated shadow duos. And just like the name suggests they are very pigmented. There is some fallout because they're so soft, so to fix that all you need is to dip your brush into the color. A lot truly goes a long way. The colors they put together are creative and i just adore them, if i could own them all right now i definitely would. Two thumbs up, a must buy.
