Brand Focus: L’Oreal

Today it’s the first day of Brand Focus week on Nicolished, and I though it’d be fun to kick it off with a brand I’ve loved for years: L’Oreal. For those of you who don’t know, in a brand focus post I discuss which products I like, which products I don’t like and which products from that one specific brand I would like to have. If you’re interested in finding that out, make sure you keep on reading!

Let’s start off with some L’Oreal face makeup products. I have tried two (well technically three) L’Oreal foundations. The one shown on the picture, the Infallible 24H-Matte Foundation, which is one of my favourite foundations at the moment and two True Match foundations, the old version and the new version.

Overall I think the L’Oreal foundations are pretty good. It’s actually one of my favourite brands when it comes to foundations!

Aside from foundation I two other face products by L’Oreal: the blush shown on the picture and a bronzer. Both products work really nicely and are definitely worth the try. They aren’t insanely amazing, so don’t expect to be ‘wow’-ed by them, but I do enjoy using them.

When it comes to eye products I’m relatively positive. I haven’t tried too many L’Oreal eye products to be honest, but most things I did try were great. The only exception is their eyeshadow palette. I don’t know what it is about it, but I just don’t like it. Some colours are quite good, but I just don’t think it’s worth the money and I’m sure L’Oreal can do better.

Two eye products by L’Oreal I do like are the Infallible Eyeshadow in Hourglass Beige and the Volume Million Lashes Mascara. Both products are just so nice to work with and are quality wise really, really amazing. I absolutely love using both of them.

My very favourite product type when it comes to L’Oreal is by far lipstick. In particular the Rouge Caresse range. From the day I saw the commercial about it on TV ’till now I’ve been in love with these lipsticks. The texture is absolutely incredible, they add a nice touch of colour to the lips, not too little, but not too much either and thye are so insanely comfortable to wear, it’s insane.

I’ve also tried a lipstick from their regular range, which is absolutely amazing as well. I like the Rouge Caresse lipsticks a teeny tiny bit more, but it’s only a small difference.

After reading all that you might know that I haven’t actually tried that many L’Oreal products, which is quite a shame for a beauty lover like me. Therefore I decided to create this wishlist with a few L’Oreal products I definitely want to give a try sometime soon.

First off all I want to try a lipstick from the Collection Exclusive collection. I tried one from my best friend and I absolutely loved it, so I really want to have one myself too. I also want to try another lipstick from the Rouge Caresse range as well as the Lumi Magic concealer.

Lastly I want to try another blush in a very pretty rosy pink colour and one of their mono eyeshadows. I think this particular one looks absolutely stunning.

And that concludes my first Brand Focus post of the week. I hope you enjoyed reading it and let me know which L’Oreal products you’d recommend!

XOXO, Nicole.
