Review - L'Oreal Paris GlamShine Stain Splash

Saturday 9 March 2013

And the long awaited YSL Glossy Stain dupe has arrived in the UK (finally!)

L'Oreal have released their new GlamShine Stain Splash, a wet gloss which dries into a long-lasting stain. The product itself is beautifully packaged and looks very luxurious for it's £7.99 price tag. The formulation is very similar to the YSL Glossy Stains, the L'Oreal ones are a little more liquid in consistency and are less glossy however the stain works just as well as the YSL. The colour range is a little disappointing, the lighter colours were not very effective on my lips and well if bought would have been a waste of money. I advise that you do swatch whichever colours you want as they are different than shown in the packaging when applied. I decided to buy Princess (coral), Juliet (red) and Milady (plum)- all deep/bright colours. The colours are not opaque but are build-able so you can decide how sheer or how deep you want your stain to be. The stains stick around for a ver so I am very impressed at the quality and packaging of these gloss stains. PLUS they smell delicious, not as good as the YSL, but still yummmmmy (like raspberry yoghurt).

Overall, if you had always lusted over the YSL Glossy Stains then I would definitely say "go to L'oreal! It is just as good and SO much cheaper!!!" Especially seen as L'Oreal owns YSL so the formulations are going to be very similar and have the same applicator.
