Staying power with no colour sacrifice.

In our new feature we’re picking a highlight that’s landed on the Her.ie beauty desk and giving you the lowdown on the beauty break-through, the budget and the reasons you should buy…. 

The Beauty Buzz

L’Oreal’s Infallible range is all about stay-in-place makeup. Minimum touch-ups with maximum results are always a winner in our beauty books. We LOVE the Infallible foundation and didn’t think you could get much better than the Infallible 24h Lip Colour. Enter the Mega Glosses.

The Beauty Brand

The Paris-based brand is the largest cosmetic company in the world, so it is safe to say these guys know what they’re talking about. They offer luxury-style cosmetics at affordable prices, and are a staple in every beauty-lovers kit.

The Infallible foundation puts up a good fight against more expensive longwear formulations like Estee Lauder’s Double Wear, and the 24h lip is a star product for the brand.

The Beauty Break-though

The Mega Glosses come in five different types – Matte, Neon, Cream, Dazzle and Extreme-Resist. There are 20 different shades to choose from across the five textures, which is quite impressive for a drugstore brand.

The wow factor here is down to both the formula and the applicator.

Hyaluronic acid hydrates and volumises, while anti-oxidants nourish lips and allow for comfortable, non-drying wear while high-shine pigments provide long lasting vibrant colour.

The applicator absorbs just the right amount of product while the sleek edge adds definition and allows for smudge-free application.

RRP: €11.99

They Say: 

No compromise gloss, mega shine, mega pout all day. The lip shaper applicator hugs and contours lips for a perfect pout. Our highest level of shine for a mega gloss look, no stickiness. 

We Say:

We wouldn’t usually associate gloss with staying power – but believe us – this stuff stays put. Not only does it stay in place, but there is zero sacrifice when it comes to colour payoff.

The applicator makes it really easy to apply in a straight line, which is a good thing because once this stuff is on, it’s not coming off easily. Our tip – if you make a mistake, act quickly.

The colour choice is brilliant with some really pretty subtle nudes and also some amazing bold colours for daring nighttime looks.
