L'oreal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream in Medium REVIEW

Hey! It's been a while, sorry about that. School's been crazy and I just had the flu:(

But I'm back!

I picked this up from K-Mart, because I had a gift card and had no idea what else I really wanted/needed. I picked it up for about $11.

I read really good reviews about this. It goes on white, and then blends in and becomes the skin tint color. Reviews say it keeps matte well and blends easily. The tube says the product primes, corrects, hydrates, and perfects. Sounds good to me!

I grabbed this in medium because I'm a medium in Maybelline's BB cream. This BB cream was maybe a bit too dark for me, it made me look orange :(

It didn't blend well for me, and so it took a bit more than usual to get my whole face. It started out watery and became sticky and thick very quickly.

There was no smell and the packaging was fine, just like any other bottle of BB cream I've tried.

The coverage was the best part for me. It stayed naturally matte and covered well so I didn't need to layer it.

All in all, I give this a 5/10. It was ok, but not worth $11 for such a small tube.

L'oreal Power Moisture Rush Mask review

Hey :) Let me just say....it's been a bit chilly :( Is this to make up for the mild winter??

Anyway, I've been on the search for something to bring moisture back into my dried ends (from blow drying, curling, bleaching, dying). So I picked this up because it promised 10x more moisture. Every other product says 3x more moisture, so of course I'm curious.

I've been using this for about a month now. It retails for $8.00 at CVS. The product has the consistency of a light gel. You're supposed to shampoo your hair and then massage this through. Leave it in for 3 - 5 minutes, then you have soft, moisturized hair. There's no noticeable smell, for me at least.

The consistency is so liquid that I have trouble getting it to my actual hair before it slips to the shower floor -- whoops! And the packaging, with the slanted oval top, is hard to unscrew and manage in the shower.

After 5 minutes, rinsing, then air drying, my hair is....ok. It feels a bit softer than usual. No static. The bottom 2 inches of hair still feel a bit drier than usual and my hair is still tangling a bit. I'm not sure if this is what 10x more moisture feels like. It does moisturize my hair more than conditioner alone, I will admit that. There was no added shine.

After using this for a month or so, the results were always the same. Soft-ish hair the first day my hair is washed, kinda weighs my hair down. The next day (I wash my hair every other day), my hair was limp. Gross. No matter how much more or less of the product I use, it's the same.

This product moisturizes my hair, but it's nothing special. Maybe it'll work better for thinner or less damaged hair. Good enough to use the whole container but I'm less likely to buy it again. The packaging was annoying, too. My rating: 6.7/10
