Guest Post: L'Oreal Paris Glam Shine 6h Lip Gloss

If we're talking about make-up fetishes here, than I can freely say for myself that lip glosses/lipsticks are my fetish in the make-up world. Those are simply products without which I simply cannot and refuse to be. I've never left the house with naked lips yet. If I'm in a hurry, than you'll see me applying a lip gloss or lipstick while I'm walking down the street. Yes, without a mirror even! It's definitely possible to apply a lip product without a mirror because you know how they say – practice makes perfect. Today I want to introduce to you to my HG drugstore lip gloss. It's the L'Oreal Paris Glam Shine 6h lip gloss in Tempting Pink (114). It's advertised as an ultra long wearing lip gloss which stays on lips up to 6h. I prefer such an honest and realistic approach because, don't you think how absurd it is to claim that glosses can stay up to 12h, 16h or heck, 24h?! Yeah, right. This specific lip gloss can be found in every drugstore which usually stocks L'oreal bits. You get 6ml of product for approx $16,5.

Ako pričamo o kozmetičkim fetišima, onda za sebe mogu reći da su to definitivno sjajevi/ruževi za usne. Bez toga jednostavno ne mogu a i ne želim biti. Nije mi se još dogodilo da izađem iz kuće golih usana. Ako sam u žurbi, onda stavljam sjajilo/tuž u hodu. Da da, bez ogledala, moguće je, practice makes perfect. Zato Vas danas želim upoznati sa svojim HG sjajilom za usne, drogerijskog ranga. Radi se o L'Oreal Glam Shine 6h, koji se reklamira kao ultra postojano sjajilo koji traje na usnama do 6h ( volim ovakav iskren i realan pristup, a ne 12, 16 ili 24h postojanosti, aha, kako da ne?!). Možete ga pronaći u svim kozmetičkim drogerijama koje drže L'oreal-ove proizvode, u količini od 6 ml i cijene od cca 24 KM.  

I am quite sure that most of you will not like its price tag and it is rarely found on a sale but it's really a well worth investment. It really is! Since I'm wearing braces, first rule when I'm looking for a new lip gloss or lipstick is that it needs to be long wearing and durable. Braces aside, I'm certain that most do find the durability of such products a very important characteristic. That way it can remain fixated on the lips for as long as possible whilst not drying them out. Tough task as it is and so far, many contenders have failed to do so. L'Oreal has risen as a winner here and it's a part of my make-up on an almost daily basis, while the rest are still waiting for their five minutes of fame. This lip gloss is available in a total of 12 hues and they're all packed with glitter and shimmer. And while I'm not usually a fan of those, in this case, I've let a that slide and I went for shade Tempting Pink (114). It's a deeper pink shade which somehow adjusts perfectly to the natural color of the lips. It's texture is quite thick and looks more like a liquid lipstick than a regular lip gloss and it contains heaps of beautiful shiny particles and tiny shimmer, so reminiscent of diamond dust.

Vjerujem da se mnogima ne dopada njegova cijena a i vrlo rijetko je na akciji ali, zaista vrijedi svaku uloženu marku. Zaista! Kako nosim aparatić za zube, prvi uslov pri kupovini novog sjajila/ruža jeste postojanost. A i bez obzira na aparatić, vjerujem da je i mnogima postojanost vrlo važan faktor. Da ostane što duže fiksiran na usnama a da ih pri tome ne isušuje. Težak zadatak i mnogi su pali na tom testu. L'oreal je izašao kao pobjednik i skoro pa svakodnevno je dio mog make-upa, dok ostali čekaju svojih 5 minuta slave. Dolazi u 12 nijansi punih šljokica i shimmera i iako nisam pristalica takvih proizvoda, u ovom slučaju sam zažmirila na jedno oko i izabrala nijansu 114 Tempting Pink, tamnija pink nijansa koja se ipak savršeno prilagođava boji vaših usana. Tekstura je dosta gusta i više nalikuje tekućem ružu za usne nego na sjajilo i sadrži pregršt prekrasnih sjajnih čestica i sitnog shimmera, nalik na dijamantni prah. 

It is enriched with a shine-fix complex which is responsible for that awesome longevity on the lips. The applicator is of an interesting shape and it's also flexible so you might have an impression that it isn't the most stable but don't worry – it's of an excellent quality and it does apply the lip gloss perfectly over the lips. The tip of the spongey applicator is ideal for defining the edges of the lips. I must mention the scent which I don't find particularly appealing. It's far from being unpleasant but L'Oreal could have done much better. To look on the bright side – the scent will keep you from licking and eating the lip gloss off your lips 😀 What I love the most about this product is that it's highly tolerant towards lips in bad state, or at least for lips which have seen better days in a given moment. It camouflages minor flaws, for example – if you've forgotten to perform a detailed scrubbing session prior to application. Or if you usually have dry skin issues or you're having a bad day and no decent lip balm at hand. This lip gloss makes your imperfect lips – perfect! 😀 It will hide every flaw and give its best to present them in the best way possible to yourself (and to the world :D) – in a matter of seconds!

Posjeduje shine-fix kompleks koji je odgovaran za tu fantastičnu postojanost na usnama. Aplikator je dosta zanimljivog oblika a pri tome je još i savitljiv i imat ćete osjećaj kao da nije najstabilniji ali budite bez brige, odličnog je kvaliteta i vrši savršenu aplikaciju sjajila na usne. Vrh aplikatora je odličan za definiciju rubova usana. Moram spomenuti i miris, koji po mom mišljenu i nije naročito lijep. Daleko od toga da je neprijatnog mirisa ali mogli su se malo bolje potruditi u vezi te stavke. Ako ništa, to će vas možda spriječiti da pojedete sjajilo sa usana 😀 Ono što mi se najviše dopada kod ovog sjajila jeste što je mnogo tolerantan prema usnama koje nisu u najboljem stanju ili trenutnom izdanju. Zakamuflira mane manje njegovanih usana, recimo ukoliko niste imali vremena za detaljni piling usana ili inače imate problema sa suhoćom usana ili ste imali lošiji dan i pri ruci nemate najefikasniji lip balm. Eh, ovo sjajilo napravi od vaših nesavršenih usana- savršene usne 😀 Prekrit će svaku njihovu manu i dati najbolje od sebe da vam ih ( i svijetu 😀 ) prikaže u što boljem izdanju. I to za nekoliko sekundi! 

This is an ideal product for every girl or a woman, always in a rush and not always having the time to prep (scrub and apply lip balm) prior to applying a demanding lipstick or lip gloss. This lip gloss will become your best friend and will forgive you if you're not at your best. It will even help you look your best when you need it. And the best for last – it stays for hours without ever drying out the lips. It will even survive a breakfast and/or lunch/dinner. Maybe even a bonus drink and coffe at the end of the day. It simply refuses to budge :ole!: If they would create creamy shades without shimmer or glitter, I would be overjoyed. All in all, this lip gloss is a mush have of every make-up bag. Even if you're not a lip gloss kind of girl, you will love this one.

Idealan proizvod za sve djevojke/žene koje su uvijek u žurbi i nemaju vremena za piling & balzam tretman prije zahtjevnog ruža/sjajila za usne. Ovo sjajilo dođe kao vaš najbolji prijatelj koji će vam oprostiti nemar prema vašim usnama i još će vam pomoći da izgledate što bolje u datom trenutku. I ono najbolje na kraju, satima je postojan na usnama, bez da ih isušuje. Čak će preživjeti i doručak i/ili ručak/večeru i koje piće i kafu. Ne mrda sa usana :ole: Još kad bi plasirali kremaste nijanse bez šljokica i shimmera, mojoj sreći ne bi bilo kraja. Sve u svemu, ovo sjajilo je must have svake kozmetičke torbice, bez obzira da li volite sjajila za usne ili ne, ovo ćete sigurno zavoljeti.
