How’s it going, you guys!? I’ve been having such a blast doing these articles and getting to chat with some of you. I am so thankful to put a face to the beautiful people I’m writing to.
Oh, how is my day going, you ask? Well, let me tell ya. I inadvertently fell asleep on the couch in the middle of the day while my kid Kai was hanging out in the living room with me (I promise, that is a very rare occurrence).

He knows when to take advantage of people, like when his mommy is too worn out to function, so he found a blue marker somewhere, somehow, and scribbled all over our beige microfiber couch…
Not cool, Kai, not cool.
Get ready, Karen, because Connor will destroy everything you hold dear!

So, due to today’s events, I am locking myself in the bedroom while my dear husband takes his turn at scrubbing the couch, and I’m going to chat with you people about L’Oréal. That must cheer me up!
I have a theory about L’Oréal…
Lad mig forklare. Did you know that they actually own tons of different brands, including a bunch of high end brands like YSL, Lancome, Georgio Armani, and urban Decay?
Cool huh? but back to my theory.
I think because they’re involved with so lots of high quality brands, their makeup is actually comparable quality, just at a much more affordable price.
That would make sense, right? Again, just a theory.
Another great thing about the brand is that they do absolutely no testing on animals, and they haven’t considering that 1989. That is such a cool accomplishment in my eyes.
OK, let’s get to the makeup.
Using (mostly) L’Oréal makeup, I created this look here…
First I tried L’Oréal true match Lumi cushion Foundation, and if you haven’t heard of these new cushion foundations, they’re generally sponges soaked in foundation and put into a compact.
Weird, right? I’m a little confused by the whole concept myself, but tons of brands have been doing them, so there need to be some perk!
I actually thought it was incredibly convenient. It comes with a little puff that you dip into the product, then pat on your face. I like it because you don’t need a separate brush. everything you need is ideal there, although you absolutely could use another brush or sponge if you like the application better. just make sure anything you dip in there is incredibly clean. It seems like this product could be a playground for nasty bacteria.
The coverage is pretty light but does build up to be about a medium coverage. I don’t think you’d be able to get up to full coverage with this one. As you can see below, it won’t cover any massive creatures chillin’ on your chin.
As the name suggests, it also gives you the most gaw-geous luminous glow, and I’m all about dat glow. this one is a real winner for me!
Next up is this cute little brow kit, the L’Oréal Brow Stylist Prep & shape pro Kit. this one here is in shade “medium to dark”.
How great would this be just to chuck in your bag and have for touch-ups?! It comes with a wax, a powder, a little angled brush with a spoolie on the end, and a pair of little tweezers.
I think the product itself is excellent, but it’s just not for me, just like every other powder brow product I’ve tried. I think that powders don’t work for my brows because, let’s be honest, they’re kind of massive.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my full brows, but I feel like powders just make them look too huge and fuzzy. That probably makes no sense, but pencils just work so much better for me.
If you love using powders and waxes on your brows, get this. I really think you’ll love it.
Ugh, great. I’ve discovered a lot more great eye shadows, which indicates that I have to get every shade, and I really don’t need any more.
“Why not just show some restraint and not get more, Jen?” you may ask. Well, because I am an addict, so I don’t have a choice. At least that’s the story I’m going with.
The shadows I’m talking about are the L’Oréal Colour Riche Monos Eye Shadows. I’m regretting ever using the descriptive word “buttery” for another eye shadow because I really need to use that word for these.
They’re just so buttery! — like literal butter. It’s actually a little bit trippy. They’re a powder, but they nearly feel like a cream. The pigmentation is amaze-balls (also wishing I saved that word for these), too, as is the blendability.
I used the shade called “Green Promenade” all over the lid, “Little beige Dress” as a transition shade, and “Cafe Au Late” to deepen the outer corner.
Then I wanted to try out the L’Oréal Voluminous Superstar Red Carpet Black Flash Reflecting Mascara. this one has two steps — a priming step, then the actual black mascara. When I applied the primer I had incredibly high hopes for how my lashes were going to turn out, and after putting on the white primer, my lashes looked incredibly long and separated, så tænkte jeg, “perfekt! Nu skal jeg bare sætte på det andet trin, og det vil tilføje noget volumen. Så vil mine vipper se perfekt ud! Woo! ”
Desværre blev mine drømme knust. Når jeg sætter på det andet trin, var det som klump City helt op i mine vipper. Det tog en masse arbejde at endda få dem til at se anstændigt, så jeg bliver nødt til at give denne en tommelfingre ned.
Lad os nu kontur! Mit yndlingsstrin. Intet føles bedre end at gå fra en cirkel ansigt for at se ud som om du har virkelige kinkeben. L’Oréal Infallible Pro Contour Palette vil give dig de kindben, vi alle ser i vores drømme. Jeg brugte “lys” en, og konturfarven var bare perfekt. Ikke for orange, så det efterligner, hvordan en skygge ville se ud. Jeg brugte dette bogstaveligt talt hver dag i betragtning af at jeg prøvede det, og jeg har ikke engang tænkt på nogle af mine mange dyrere muligheder.
Højdepunktet, jeg bruger ikke så meget. Det er også godt – bare et lys, semi shimmery pulver, der ser godt ud på toppen af kinden knogler. Jeg bruger stadig en anden hardcore højdepunkt på toppen, fordi jeg bare er så hardcore. Den lille børste, den kom med, gik i skraldet, fordi det var bare underligt, så jeg ville bruge, hvilken børste du allerede elsker til konturering.
Sidst, men meget absolut ikke mindst, forsøgte jeg L’Oréal Infallible Pro-Matte Gloss. Disse er i modsætning til ethvert andet læbeprodukt, jeg har prøvet. Konsistensen minder mig om – nu ved jeg, at dette er utroligt underligt, men bare med mig – Mos kartofler.
Vent, hvad?

Ikke i en ubehagelig, gritty måde, men en dejlig skummende (?) Way … ærligt, bare forsøm mine bizarre beskrivende ord, og prøv det selv.
De er fugtgivende og komfortable, men matte. De slet ikke op i de tørre patches eller linjer på dine læber, som får dem til at se utroligt glatte og kissable. to tommelfingre op.
Phew! Det var en lang. Hvis du har gjort det så langt med mig, lad mig vide, hvad dit yndlings apotek er og hvorfor!
