L'Oreal Paris Lash Architect Mascara

Horrible! Sticky, clumpy, and made my eyes burn

I bought this yesterday, and threw it out today. Hated it. It's sticky - all my lashes stuck and clumped together, it took forever to dry, and then my lashes kept sticking to my face, even after I went through them with a lash comb. What's even worse is that about 30 minutes after application, my eyes started to burn. The burning got worse over the next hour, until I finally washed my face repeatedly with soap to get the stuff off. I tossed the tube into the trash afterward, went online, and bought a tube of Diorshow instead. It's better to spend a little more and get something that's at least usable.

L'Oreal Paris HiP Studio Secrets Professional Concentrated Shadow Duos

Extremely disappointing

I picked up a few of the L'Oreal HIP duos in the metallic colors yesterday and tried them out today. Though the colors are lovely in the package, they are horrible on my skin. The dark green - which I thought would be beautiful! - is in reality a horrible blackish-green that looks like the color of mold. Who wants moldly eyes? They are a terror to blend, too, and feel very powdery and scratchy. Don't waste your money on this stuff. Save up a few extra bucks and buy M-A-C or Urban Decay instead.
