I recently saw a (fairly) stocked L'Oreal Project Runway Limited Edition display and grabbed ALL the polishes (obviously!) but I also grabbed two lipsticks, a lipgloss, and an eyeshadow quad.
I wanted to show you the lipsticks today, and I'm working on swatches on everything else so in case something strikes your fancy, you can go out and (hopefully) find it!
I picked up The Mystic's Kiss and The Temptress' Kiss.
L'Oreal The Mystic's Kiss is a fabulous purple lipstick with blue shimmer. I almost didn't buy it because I have a
similarly colored lip gloss. Sadly, the lipstick looks much more rocker chic than it translates on the lips. When worn, it applies as a sheer purple magenta color and minimal blue/purple shimmer comes through. Great color though. I was disappointed at first but I ended up really liking it because it's very wearable. It's sheer and bright at the same time, and the hint of purple makes it less 80s cheerleader (no offense to those of you who were cheerleaders in the 80s!) and more mod.

L'Oreal The Temptress' Kiss is a great neutral medium brown with golden shimmer. I didn't realize it would be so flattering. It's got a hint of purple (trend anyone?) that makes it very modern but it's very wearable. That golden shimmer is noticeable but not too flashy in regular light. More on that below.

I accidently took a picture with flash and while editing photos I noticed that the lipstick looks more purple AND check out that glitter! Is it
GOLD HOLO GLITTER I spy? I see some greens, purples, pinks, blues, and gold shining back at me and NONE of that is on the above swatches!

Hope you found these helpful. They were both pleasant surprises. =)
oh wow...very pretty! i love temptress kiss!
ReplyDeleteThese are both pretty. I watched my DVRed copy of Project Runway from last night which the challenge was inspired in part by each of the 4 collections in this L'Oreal grouping. I tossed all my lipsticks but for my Tart Lipsurgances and my IT Cosmetics lipstains because a) had too many not wearing and b) everything but these were making my lips peel and c)trying hard to pare down on my 'suff' in general...but seeing these 2 shades really make me want to take a tip to the drugstore to see if they have the collections...I was liking 2 of the nail sticker apps a lot too.
ReplyDeleteThese are stunning!!! I am loving both of them
ReplyDeleteWHERE DID YOU FIND THESE?! I've been dying to try their PR eyeshadow quads. And I may have to grab the Temptress' Kiss- its gorgeous. Great for Fall! :)
