Review: L'oreal Glam Shine Sorbet Dazzling Plumping Lip

Skip It!!!


I've actually had L'oreal Glam Shine Sorbet Dazzling Plumping Lip No. 300 Jubilee sitting in my makeup box for quite some time now.

I picked it up, because it looked like something I'd like. Glittery, pretty pink color, gloss, oh my!

The flavor was nice and fruity, but nothing spectacular from any other fruit flavored lip gloss.

The application wand was what I loved best. Most of my lip glosses, or high shine lip products are either metal squeeze tubes, or roll on applicators, which I have always hated.

The applicator on L'oreal Glam Shine Sorbet Dazzling Plumping Lip No. 300 Jubilee, is actually a dip in wand, with a soft sponge like application tip. A dip into the plastic container, and wallah, you are ready to apply. No finger dipping messes necessary.

I applied it to my lips, and fell in love with the high gloss look, and the pink color. However the lip formula, whatever it was, felt really thick, greasy, and gunky on my lips. Hated it.

On top of that, my lips also began to feel tingly, and began to take on a more reddish color. I imagined this was the active ingredient that would 'plump up my lips! Ugh!

The lip color looked nice, but felt horrendous on my lips.

All in all, I was not too impressed with L'oreal Glam Shine Sorbet Dazzling Plumping Lip No. 300 Jubilee.

It tingled my lips, made them look darker in color over time, and didn't plump them up. Just irritated them.

Revlon Colorstay Concealer

Okay I've been there, used that. You name the concealer and I've used it.
While most products I've tried causes that nasty caking (I'm so doused in makeup look), SHINE, and even more breakouts which leads to having to use even more concealer just to hide the breakouts caused by the concealers; and for those with dry skin, concealers can just become a skin dilemma.

Revlon's colorstay concealer has caused me no skin problems whatsoever. My skin type is oily. Usually any type of concealers I've used in the past have caused me to look as if I had a mirror on my forehead.
Until using this product all of those problems have become problems in the past.

Revlon's colorstay Concealer stays on, and stays on well. NO shine! NO SHINE! Probably because it is OIL FREE.
It doesn't feel like your wearing any makeup at all. It blends easily, and quickly with your finger, there is no need for any application pads or special blending brushes.
It stays on my skin for a good 8 hours, without wearing off.
Yes you can touch your face, and yes, even lean it up on that significant others shirt and its not going to budge. (Unless maybe you really mash it in)

Revlon Colorstay Concealer is SPF6, and it comes in 3 colors of
Natural Beige
Sand Beige
Ivory.

I use the Sand Beige even though my skin is slightly lighter than that. This specific color gives me a nice look of a beach tan even though I wasn't really at the beach.

Ive found that the best way to keep the concealer looking its best and most flawless is to lightly dab your face with a shine proof powder or any type of powder, preferably oil free to prevent breakouts.

First apply the Revlon Colorstay Concealer then dab your face lightly with the powder. It gives your face a flawless glow. Especially if you use 'Radiance' shimmer powder.

The one bad thing I've noticed about this concealer is how if you get to close to the eyebrows it will create a line of darker color around the hairline.
It can easily be taken care of with a wipe of warm water or alcohol. But it doesn't make its appearance for about 4 hours into the wear. So a mirror checkup may be necessary.
But it does not dye hair with time. I've used it for months now, and haven't noticed anything strange in my hair color.

All in all this is the best concealer I've ever gotten my hands on. I wouldn't switch brands for anything.
