Loreal Super Liner Gel Intenza

Hello lovely readers. What's up? How is everything at your end?  Today we come up with another exciting review for our readers. For the first time on our blog we'll be reviewing a gel-eyeliner today! This is going to be one exciting post for ALL the gel-eyeliner lovers out there!


Today's review is on "Loreal Super Liner Gel Intenza".






According to L'oreal:

A long-lasting waterproof eyeliner with an intense and bold colour result. The high-precision brush makes application easy and creates a perfectly smooth line. An ultra-quick drying effect creates a smudge-free, dramatic look that lasts up to 24 hours.






My Review:


I have found my soul mate. I am the happiest person on earth. Liner is something I absolutely cannot live without, thus began my excruciating journey of finding the best liner there is. From liquid liners to pencil liners, I couldn't find anything up to my expectations. Then came Maybelline gel liner, and I was happy, but now not being ungrateful but after finding Loreal gel intenza, my Maybelline one has gone down the bin( it was dried up anyways).
The only complain I had with Maybelline gel liner was about it drying up. Thou it was amazing price wise at 1100 Rs, compared to L'oreal one at 1800 Rs.

I have only used gel intenza in black, so I can only comment on that. It is by far the most pigmented and smooth liner I have used. It is very creamy and applies like a dream. It lasts all day without smudging. Also is waterproof.

I like the brush too, the grip is amazing, and can be used for thin or thick line.

Points against:

ROUGE ALLURE VELVET: LA FASCINANTE

ROUGE ALLURE VELVET IN SHADE: LA FASCINANTE


According to Chanel:

ROUGE ALLURE invents ROUGE ALLURE VELVET: luminous matte lip colour.

ROUGE ALLURE VELVET creates another way to wear lipstick. An alternative to shine.

Velvety soft and more comfortable than any matte lipstick before, it adorns lips with deep colours and an intensely luminous matte finish.
As moisturising as a satiny lipstick, it feels as weightless as a second skin.

One click releases it from its black lacquered case.








Review:

This range of lipsticks come in 8 different shades. Today the one I am reviewing is LA FASCINANTE, shade #38.

The packaging of this lipstick is very chic, and that’s what attracted me to this lipstick at first when I saw it at a chanel counter. Sleek black tube with golden magnetic click bullet, with interlocking Cs you click that and an amazing red colour lipstick comes out. To be honest, this lipstick is love at first sight.

The colour is a classic matte red with pink undertones, perfect for a night out, it can also be worn during the day if you apply it with a light hand.
I sometimes wear it during the day if I am going out somewhere, and always at night, it is my everyday lipstick, more like every night out lipstick, because of it being matte and non drying at the same time. Plus the colour ends up being so gorgeous on my lips, it does not make my teeth look yellow. In the tube it looks more like dark deep brick red, but it shows on my lips as a very beautiful everyday red.

The staying power of this lipstick is amazing too, lasts me hours before I have to reapply, that too only if I have eaten anything, and then when it is half on and half removed it still shows up as a very pretty deep pinkish colour.

The texture of this lipstick is very unique which I haven’t found in any of the M.A.C lipsticks either that I have used. It is matte and not drying at the same time, and glides on lips like a dream. Feels very creamy, and gives a matte look. It actually feels like velvet just as the name say.

There are so many ways in which this lipstick can be worn, wear it as a full red color at night with winged liner or just black liner. Wear it lightly at day time, dab it with a tissue for a more subtle look, or wear with a gloss for a totally different colour.





P.S All swatch pictures are in daylight. 


Points in Favour:


  1. Amazing color pay-off.
  2. Non drying formula. Keeps the lips hydrated.
  3. Beautiful and travel friendly packaging.
  4. Click opening, so will not open by mistake in handbag.

Points not in favour:

Its expensive, but you are putting it on your lips so you would make sure its good quality.

Availability: Can be bought online from Facebook pages. I got mine from duty free chanel counter.

This is not a PR sample product. All reviews are honest and solely mine. Your comments are appreciated. Thank you=)
