Loreal Infallible Never Fail Lipgloss in Cherry Blossom

It’s not sticky at all? It stays all day? It smells delicious? The price is excellent?! I think everyone has heard of Loreal’s new line, the Infallible lipglosses. The name alone boasts about its brilliance, so I decided to purchase this product off of ACW (AllCosmeticsWholesale.com) to see if it lived up to its name– “Infallible”.

Pros-

*Loreal’s Infallible ligloss in Cherry Blossom is an unbelievable color– it is a beautiful peachy-pink with very fine gold shimmer. In some lighting, Cherry Blossom appears to be peach, but I think the gold shimmer gives the gloss an advantage in coloring.

*Loreal’s Infallible Never Fail lipgloss has the classic packaging drugstore lip products usually have– a rectangle, twistable top and a rectangular, plastic tube that holds the product. The cool thing about the Infallible lipglosses though, is that the twistable top has a mirror on it. This makes it easy to look at your lips after you applied the lipgloss, making sure you applied it correctly.

*Loreal’s Infallible liglosses have a really unique applicator. The same as Lancome’s glosses, Loreal decided to make their wand in a triangular shape. Because there is an empty spot inside the triangle, the lipgloss catches in the space. This makes applying the gloss easier because it controls how much gloss you want on your lips. The more pressure you put on the wand, the heavier the gloss applies, making this product a breeze to take on-the-go.

*Although this is personal preference, I really like the consistency of Loreal’s Infallible gloss. When applied, the gloss goes on quite smooth, and it’s really easy to rub your lips together. But I’ve noticed the longer the gloss stays on your lips, the tackier it becomes. The closest I can compare the stickiness to is MAC’s Tinted Lipglasses. I think Loreal formulated the product this way to make the gloss stay on your lips longer because the stickier a lipgloss is, the longer it stays. I don’t mind the stickiness too much, but I really think it depends on your personal preference.

*Again this is based on personal preference, but I think the price is great. Compared to a MAC Lipglass which costs $14.50, and has 0.17 oz, the Infallible glosses have 0.21 oz, and costs $9.99. Less money and more product? Loreal’s Infallible glosses are the way to go!

Cons-

*After Cherry Blossom is on your lips for a while and the gloss is nearly gone, fine, gold shimmer stays on your lips. For me, it’s pretty uncomfortable to rub my lips together and feel tiny grains of glitter. It doesn’t look cute, either– it looks like you got excited at Michael’s Arts and Crafts.

*Loreal Infallible lipglosses have a very distinctive odor to them. To me, it seems like Loreal tried to make the gloss smell like vanilla, but ultimately failed. I think this because after you smell the vanilla, a pungent, thick, sour smell is followed closely after, filling up your nose. The scent is a complete turn-off for me, especially when I apply it to my lips.

*Although I like the lipglosses’ packaging, the twistable, mirrored part becomes quite unattractive after continual use. Because of the top’s plastic-y material, fingerprints become apparent, and the product ends up looking a little gross. This cheapens the product, and is makes it look like an old Victoria’s Secret lipgloss from when you were seven.

All in all, I really enjoy using Loreal’s Infallible lipgloss in Cherry Blossom. Although the smell and leftover residue is a turn-off for me, I think this lipgloss line is something to take interest in. I don’t think this lipgloss stays 6 hours like it’s advertised to do, but I do think it’s a lot better than other higher-end lipglosses I’ve tried. Overall, I give Loreal’s Infallible lipgloss in Cherry Blossom an 8.5/10 because of the gorgeous color, the consistancy, and the price.
