REVITALIFT Triple Power Intensive Anti-Aging Day Cream Moisturizer

~Weekly Product Highlight~Revitalift Triple Power Deep-Acting Moisturizer 1.7oz -L’Oreal Paris~

Loreal Revitalift moisturizer/hydrant | lookingjoligood.blog

Revitalift Triple Power Deep-Acting Moisturizer 1.7oz -L’Oreal® Paris $17-$25

Loreal Revitalift triple power moisturizer/hydrant | lookingjoligood.blogI have been using the Loreal Revitalift Intensive Anti-aging Day cream Moisturizer for about six months now.  Along with a few other skin care products in my routine, I have seen a huge improvement in my skin’s overall condition.

The product claims are “Visibly reduce wrinkles. Re-firm skin. Smooth skin’s texture.”  I’m not going to say that it has made my “wrinkles” and fine lines go away, or maybe even lessen, but I feel as if using this moisturizer consistently has helped to make my skin look brighter and more youthful.  I have not noticed any “re-firming” but I have noticed an increased smoothness to my skin’s overall texture.

Laura Smile | lookingjoligood.blogIt is a medium consistency off-white cream that absorbs quickly into the skin making it perfect for being worn under makeup.  It provides a deep moisture to the skin without feeling thick, greasy, or heavy on the skin.  Not too much is needed, and I find that if I apply too much at once it does seem to ball up on itself.REVITALIFT Triple Power Intensive Anti-Aging Day Cream Moisturizer | lookingjoligood.blog

Loreal Blow Dry It Quick Dry Primer Spray

~Weekly Product Highlight~ Loreal Blow Dry It Quick Dry Primer Spray ~

Loreal Blow Dry It Quick Dry Primer Spray | lookingjoligood.blog
Loreal Blow Dry It Quick Dry Primer Spray

Loreal Blow Dry It Quick Dry Primer Spray

For a while, I have been going back and forth between growing my hair out and cutting it into a pixie cut.  As for now, the longer hair is winning…

Since I am trying to grow out my hair it is more important than ever to protect it from heat damage.  While I don’t heat style or blow dry my hair every day, I do still want to protect it on the days that I do.

Laura | lookingjoligood.blog
My hair is growing, slowly but it’s growing!

A heat protectant works by forming a protective barrier over the hair cuticle preventing the heat from damaging the hair.  A heat protectant will also add moisture to your hair as well as preventing the natural moisture from evaporating as the hair is heat styled.

When I first decided I wanted a heat protectant I tried a few different oils.  So far, the oils have just been too heavy for my fine straight hair.  Maybe once my hair is a bit longer I can use one on just the ends, but for now, no good.

I did a bit of research and decided to give this Loreal Blow Dry It Quick Dry Primer Spray a try.  It claims to:

  • Reacts with heat to reduce blow-dry time
  • Shields against heat damage
  • Formulated with fibralock technology
  • Heat protectant spray for all heat tools

Loreal Blow Dry It Quick Dry Primer Spray | Lookingjoligood.blog

I want my hair to be protected from heat, but I don’t want a product that is going to make my already fine oily hair look thinner and more oily. Thankfully, instead, when I use this spray, my hair looks sleek and shiny all day.  It doesn’t weigh my hair down at all.  It has a nice clean scent that lasts all day!

Due to my fine hair, it takes me no time at all to blow dry my hair anyway, so I cannot testify as to whether or not this spray cuts down on drying time.  It does make heat styling my hair quicker and easier due to the fact that my hair smooths into place more effectively.

There are several other heat protectant products from Loreal in this line.  I’m planning to try out a few others.  I’ll let you know if any of them work as well as or better than this one.Loreal Blow Dry It Quick Dry Primer Spray | Lookingjoligood.blog

If you are looking for a product to help protect your hair while also adding a smooth shine, I recommend this product.

What does the Loreal Website have to say about the  LorealAdvanced Hairstyle Blow Dry It Quick Dry Primer Spray

“DESCRIPTION
Reacts with heat to reduce blow-dry time. Shields against heat damage. Formulated with fibralock technology.
Our lightweight primer formula accelerates your routine by cutting blow dry time while protecting hair from heat damage.

HOW TO

Apply on clean damp hair. Spray evenly 6-8 inches away from hair. Blow dry as usual.

Next, I plan to try out the ADVANCED HAIRSTYLE SLEEK IT Iron Straight Heatspray.

Loreal Infallible Eyeshadows

~Weekly Product Highlight~Loreal Infallible Eyeshadows~

 

wp-1459775132409.jpg

I absolutely LOVE this product it is by far one of the best eyeshadows I have ever had.  It never creases, fades, or flakes, and a little bit goes a long way and lasts all day.   These shadows are packed with pigment and shimmer.They are available in 24 beautiful shades and generally cost around $7 USD. Some of my favorites shades are Always Pearly Pink, Amber Rush, and Liquid Diamond.

Loreal Infallible Eyeshadows | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

As you can tell from the above picture, these shadows swatch amazingly beautifully.  They go onto the eyes just as beautifully.  They have a velvety super smooth texture that has a cream to powder finish.  The color payoff is amazingly rich without any creasing or fallout.

loreal-infallible-eyeshadow-amber-rush | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Amber rush is seriously gorgeous.  It reminds me a lot of Chopper from Urban Decay minus the fall out.  The color payoff from just a single swipe with the finger is amazing!  The below swatch is one swipe of Amber Rush and Chopper is applied wet.

loreal-infallible-eyeshadow-amber-rush | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

I have so many other high end eye shadows from MAC, Urban Decay, Lorac, and the Balm, the pigmentation of these Loreal Infallible Eyeshadows is so concentrated that I might almost say that it is better than all those other more expensive shadows.

loreal-infallible-eyeshadow | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

 

To be honest it is not all perfection…I am going to warn you, if you don’t close the cover completely it will dry out. On the top of the little plastic protector that comes with the shadow it says Do Not Discard, it means it, don’t throw it out or the shadow will be all dried out and unusable.  Also  don’t press the gray insert down onto the shadow too tightly.  I learned the hard way that it will squeeze out all the liquid and also cause the shadow to dry out quickly. Since they have that kind of a powder/cream consistency you cannot use a brush to apply them. (It is similar to Color Pop shadows.) They are best when applied with the fingers.  If you always prefer to use a brush to apply your shadows these are not the shadows for you.

What does the Loreal Website have to say about it?

Velvety formula. Fadeproof. Waterproof.

For the 1st time ever, L’Oréal Paris introduces an ultra intense eye shadow that lasts from day until dawn—a full 24 hours. This revolutionary formula fuses the ease of a powder with the velvety caress of a cream to create a unique hybrid that glides on effortlessly. And with its unique technology, your eyes are enhanced with pure, magnified pigment.

Make a lasting impression without batting an eye.

-Intense, maximized color
-Luxurious powder-cream texture
-24-hour long-lasting hold
-Waterproof, crease resistant, fade resistant

Makeup Of The Day

Here is what I am wearing on my face today!

I really don’t think that this Loreal La Palette gets enough love and attention in the beauty community.  I really enjoy using this palette and always get compliments on my eye look whenever I use it.  The Maybelline Fit Me Foundation is another one that I absolutely love.  It always makes my skin look so flawless without looking heavy or cakey.  I use both this crown brush and the real techniques one every day.

How ’bout Them Samples?! Review #3.1

You may remember that as part of my “strict no buy” I had decided to try to use up a bunch of the neglected samples that I have already received from various places and sample boxes.  I have so many samples that I don’t even remember where I got all of them from originally.  I know some are from ipsy bags, or Target boxes and others from Walmart beauty boxes, this time around one is even from Influenster*.

how 'bout them samples | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

I posted a few weeks ago that I would let you know what I think of each thing and if I would purchase these items based on my thoughts from these samples.  Some products were awesome and I used them up right away, others have taken me longer to use.  This post was getting very long, so I am going to break it into two parts.  (Check out yesterday’s post to read the first half.)

Here’s my review of the second half of the samples from the third group of what I have been trying out…

Loreal Advanced Haircare Smooth Intense Shampoo
Loreal Advanced Haircare Total Repair Shampoo
Olay Active Botanicals
Ren Ever Calm Day Cream
Shea Moisture Fruit Fusion Coconut Water Weightless Shampoo and Creme Rinse

how 'bout them samples | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com
Loreal Advanced Haircare Smooth Intense Shampoo
Loreal Advanced Haircare Total Repair Shampoo

While I have used the Loreal Advanced Haircare conditioners for a while now, and really enjoy them, I have never tried the shampoos.  These two may be in similar packaging, but they are quite different from each other. I did not enjoy the Smooth Intense Shampoo (pink top).  While overall I don’t mind the scent, I couldn’t ever get a really good lather from it. It is a clear shampoo which always makes me think clarifying, but my hair never really felt fully clean after I washed it with this shampoo.  I don’t have frizzy unmanagable hair, so maybe that is why I didn’t enjoy this shampoo. Based on the samples  no, I would not buy the Loreal Advanced Haircare Smooth Intense Shampoo (pink top).
The Total Repair Shampoo (golden top) has a strange scent that I don’t really enjoy.  It made my hair feel clean and smooth, so I can forgive it for the scent, especially since I condition my hair everyday after shampooing.  A 12.6 ounce bottle of these shampoos costs around $3.99    Based on the samples yes, I would purchase the Loreal Advanced Haircare Total Repair Shampoo (golden top)  These shampoos seem to always be on sale with great coupons available as well.

how 'bout them samples | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comOlay Active Botanicals Moisturizing Toner

This product smells lovely.  I feel like it got the job done and didn’t make my face feel over dry and tight like some toners tend to do. I love to use a toner at night after I remove my makeup and before I moisturize.  It always amazes me (and grosses me out) how much stuff is still left behind even after I scrub my face. A 5 ounce bottle of this toner costs around $14.99.  Based on the sample yes, I would buy this Olay Active Botanicals Moisturizing Toner.

how 'bout them samples | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comRen Ever Calm Day Cream

I have enjoyed using this day cream.  I feel like for what it is 1 oz is a decent sized sample. I got several weeks use out of this sample and still have some left. It has a nice fresh scent and I really like the way this cream makes my skin feel.  My foundation applies over it well.  Supposedly it protects against free radicals and environmental aggression while combating the signs of premature aging.  Trains skin to be less sensitive.  That is a lot of claims for one product, but hey I am all for protection against “environmental aggression.”  At Sephora and other online sites this cream is $45 for 1.7 oz. Based on the sample yes, I would buy this Ren Ever Calm Day Cream. (Although, while I do like it, I personally wouldn’t pay $45 for it.)

how 'bout them samples | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comShea Moisture Fruit Fusion Coconut Water Weightless Shampoo and Creme Rinse

Once again, I am talking about the scent of one of the products…these products smell wonderful! I think it can be described as a strawberry tropical fruity scent with a light hint of coconut.  Later in the days when I used these two products together I always noticed that my hair felt so super extra soft! I also want to add that the sample size was perfectly proportioned.  The shampoo was 15 ml and the creme rinse was 30 ml.  How awesome that they gave extra creme rinse since every one knows that the conditioner always runs out way before the shampoo. A 10.3 fluid ounce tube of Shea Moisture Fruit Fusion Coconut Water Weightless Shampoo costs $8.99, and  a 13 fl oz bottle of Shea Moisture Fruit Fusion Coconut Water Weightless Creme Rinse costs $10.99.  Based on the sample yes, I would definitely buy this Shea Moisture Fruit Fusion Coconut Water Weightless Shampoo and Creme Rinse.

Overall this was a great group of samples! For the most part, they all smelled pretty great. I have been enjoying using up my samples and have already started on a new bunch.

Beauty For Real Eyeliner
CeraVe Eye Repair Cream
Jelly Pong Pong Neapolitan Palette
Laneige Water Bank Moisture Cream

how 'bout them samples | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comBeauty For Real Eyeliner

I just got this in my ipsy bag in August, but I have gotten so many black liners from ipsy recently that I thought it was time to start using some of them.  I really like this liner.  It is super black and glides on smoothly and easily.  It dries down quickly and doesn’t smudge.  Most days I wear my makeup for around 10-12 hours.  This liner is still exactly where I put it at the end of the day.  I would buy this Beauty For Real Eyeliner based on the sample.

how 'bout them samples | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comJelly Pong Pong Neapolitan Palette

When I got these in my ipsy bag I wasn’t overly impressed.  Once I actually used them I realized that I was wrong.  These shadows are so super pigmented!  Only on swipe across my lid and I have beautiful pigmented.  I would buy this Neapolitan Palette based on the sample.

how 'bout them samples | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Look at how beautiful those jelly pong pong eyeshadow swatches are!  That is only one swipe of my finger. Awesome! I love how black the Beauty For Real Eyeliner is.

how 'bout them samples | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comCeraVe Eye Repair Cream

I am a big fan ofCeraVe Moisturizing Cream.  I have used several CeraVe products and have usually been impressed with them.  This eye repair cream is no exception.  While I don’t have too many eye wrinkles yet I am a huge believer in prevention.  This sample is super small, only .08oz, but since the cream is thick and the eye area is so small only a tiny bit of cream is needed. I would buy this CeraVe Eye Repair Cream based on the sample.

how 'bout them samples | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comLaneige Water Bank Moisture Cream

This cream is awesome!  I love the way my skin feels after I use it!  I love the scent of it. It is clean and beautiful.  I wish I had a perfume that smelled like this cream does.  My skin feels super moisturized the morning after I apply this cream A 1.6 ounce jar of this cream costs around $32.  Based on the sample I would buy this Laneige Water Bank Moisture Cream.

Overall this was a great group of samples!  I have been enjoying using up my samples and have already started on a new bunch.  Tomorrow will be the second half of the samples.

What about you?  Have you tried any of these products?  What did you think?

Tip Tuesday #31

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday!

Tip Tuesday: Make up tips and tricks every Tuesday | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

If you want to make the whites of your eyes look extra bright and pop, instead of lining your eyes with black or brown, use a navy blue or deep plum eyeliner.  Just as a blue toned lipsticks will make you teeth look whiter, a navy or blue toned eyeliner will have the same effect on the whites of your eyes.

loreal silkissime | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Two of my favorites are Marcelle Waterproof Eyeliner in Mulberry  or Indigo for $12 each or the INFALLIBLE Silkissime Eyeliner in plum $8.99.

Loreal Colour Riche La Palette Nude

~Weekly Product Highlight~Loreal Colour Riche La Palette Nude~

I find that every time I use this palette someone will compliment my eye look.  That alone is reason enough for me to recommend you buy this palette.

I went back and forth between whether I wanted to buy this Nude one or the “Nude Intense” purple/ pink hued one.  I am glad that I chose this one because I really do enjoy it!

Loreal Colour Riche La Palette Nude | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

If you are looking for a good quality drugstore palette for less than $20, then this palette is perfect! The mid toned  and dark colors are very pigmented. The light shimmery shades are fine, nothing super special, just ok, they still get the job done.  Overall, for the price, it is a great drugstore palette.

Loreal Colour Riche La Palette Nude shimmer and matte Shades | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

There are 7 shimmers and 3 mattesThe mattes are creamy and easy to blend. The shimmery shadows are smooth and not overly powdery, but the lighter shimmery shadows are a bit harder to work with.

Loreal Colour Riche La Palette Nude Crease Shades | lookingjoligood.wordpress.come
These two shadows are the perfect crease transition shade!

 

While I usually hate the brush that comes with these types of products, I have actually used this one for applying the shadows to my lid.  It is double ended with one end being a sponge tip applicator  and the other is a small brush.  I use the sponge tip to apply the shimmery shadows and surprisingly, I find that it works really well. The small brush side I use for applying shadows to my lower lash line.

Inspired by makeup designers ‘Must Have’ palettes, the La Palette Nude offers everything you need to master the art of nude eyeshadow.

~Weekly Product Highlight~ Loreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream~

So in an effort to not buy new items, I have been “shopping” from my own stash of makeup.  I have rediscovered so many great products that I had completely forgotten that I love.  One of the rediscovered items is the  Loreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream. I forgot how much I love this product!

I am a big fan of BB/CC creams!  This Loreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream was the first BB cream that I ever used and it has been a favorite ever since!  I like the design of the packaging, it is in a small squeeze bottle that makes it perfect for throwing into my makeup bag for travel.  We recently went away for July 4th and this is what I brought along with me.

If you want something lightweight to wear during the summer when it’s hot and humid this BB cream is perfect. It gives the right amount of coverage without feeling heavy.  It leaves a flawless looking, smooth base for makeup. Like most BB/CC creams it provides sheer/light cover that can be built up to slight medium coverage.

As you can tell from the above photo, it comes out of the tube white and as it is rubbed in it transforms into your skin’s color for a perfect match.  I don’t know how they do it, but it seems like magic! I am guessing that is why they named it Magic Skin Beautifier.

It comes in four shades: fair, light, medium, and deep, as well as two other formulas one for anti-aging and one for anti-redness.    Prices range from $7.99 at Target to $10.99 at Ulta.
