L'Oreal Glam Shine Review

I have been using L'OREAL GLAM SHINE since it first came out some years ago.  The colors that were offered at first were nice, but then over time some really great colors came out that made my clock tick.

L'OREAL GLAM SHINE is quite emollient. It has a faint artificial berry flavor to it, but it is not sticky at all.  I would say that it is more slippery and lubricating than it is sticky or gummy.

It is hard to describe GLAM SHINE from LOREAL in an overall category because each color is different and performs differently.

I can say that my favorite colors are FUSION (650 berry pink with aqua shimmer), Prima Donna (nude with silver shimmer #110) , and DIVA (700 dark berry color with lots of silvery shimmer).

WHAT IS GLAM SHINE LIKE?

L'Oreal GLAM SHINE comes in an hourglass shaped tube.  The top screws on with a long doe foot applicator.  I am not a big fan of this type of applicator, but in this case, it does apply a good amount of product. Some brands the doe feet do not apply much gloss and they are obnoxious.  That is not the case with GLAM SHINE.

PERFORMANCE

I have every color made in L'OREAL GLAM SHINE and I do like to wear it in summer or at times when I am not overly concerned about my look.   Although it is not bad at all to wear, I find that it has to be reapplied more often than I would like.

Coverage is fantastic and pigmentation is excellent.  The glitter shimmer does not migrate all over my face like some products do.  I also think that GLAM SHINE is moderately moisturizing, although not quite as nice as other lip glosses.  The finish is also really nice and shiny without being over the top either.

Once I wear GLAM SHINE for a while, I find that my lips peel excessively the next day- a reaction I have with some lip products.  That is unpleasant which is part of the reason I don't tend to grab them all of the time.

However, when I want that special look, I can tolerate GLAM SHINE for a day or two- after all, at least I can look good for a day, right?  LOL.

My only big gripe is that the containers don't always last very well.  The caps snap off or separate from the threaded area that closes the container.  This makes it messy for the purse or pocket if it happens while in those.

If you can find some LOREAL GLAM SHINE, it is worth a try.  The price is usually around $7 or so.
