Recently L'Oreal released the "Shine Caresse Lip Colours" in Australia. They're called the "Color Caresse Wet Shine Stain" in the US and "GlamShine Stain Splash" in the UK.
I had heard about them for a while from blogs and youTube, but only bought one last week because they were on sale for only $16.76 at Priceline. They normally retail for $23.95.
Firstly, the packaging is really sleek and beautiful. It looks much more expensive than a "drugstore" lip product.
The lip applicator is really interesting. It's not a shape I've used before, and actually had reservations about how easy it would be to apply.
But once I used it I was converted!! The shape helps it contour to the curves of your lips and is surprisingly easy to use.
When I first applied it, what I noticed is the feeling of the lip stain. It feels surprisingly wet. Like water wetness on your lips.
After a while it ends up drying (goodbye wet feeling) but still is really quite shiny.
I had about 4 hours of glossy bold lips (which included eating lunch) before the colour started to fade. What I was really impressed with was the fact that my lips didn't feel dry... AT ALL!! I'm addicted to lip balm and didn't apply any for about 4-5 hours while using this!
Overall I'm really happy with it, and will be purchasing more!
A lot of bloggers have compared these to the YSL Glossy Stain. I haven't used it, so I can't compare but the L'Oreal lip stain feels much more expensive than its price tag!
Have you tried these yet?

I haven't tried these as I have heard they stick to dry patches on your lips.. but only one blogger has mentioned that so it may be in the majority. I own a few YSL glossy stains and LOVE them.
ReplyDeleteI do like these, I think that the paler shades don't have enough opacity to cover my natural pigmentation/natural lip liner but some of the darker ones are really stunning! They also leave a pretty considerable stain behind, I was swatching for an upcoming post and couldn't get rid of the stain for a day, even with makeup remover!
ReplyDeleteApparently (I didn't know this) but L'oreal is actually owned my YSL and these new Shine Caresse's a basically cheap dupes for the glossy stains. Can't wait to try them!
ReplyDeleteOh these are gorgeous! Have been seeing them all over the blogosphere but havent actally tried them yet. I find the applicator really unique too in terms of how it looks. You have tempted me now.... :)
ReplyDeleteI really want to try this lip colour but I have got way too much lip products so won't be buying one anytime soon. I have tried a sample of the YSL Glossy Stain and it definitely looks very similar. I love that colour it's gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteChelsea... I haven't found that, but I make sure I exfoliate my lips before applying lipsticks and stains. It helps a lot :)
ReplyDeleteMM... Hahahaha I had my swatch on my arm for maybe 3 minutes before using a make up removing wipe to get rid of it and it stained it all day!
Tiggy...I've heard that too!!! L'Oreal seems to be doing a lot of "duping" lately, which is great for us on a budget :)
Mandy... You should try them! Priceline or Target normally have a sale on L'Oreal, which makes them much more affordable.
Ina J...It's such a pretty colour. I know what you mean about too many lip products. I really need to do either a "spring clean" or rotate my lip products, as I tend to stick with the same ones constantly lol
