Shopping My Stash: Milani Runway Eyes in Beach Sand and Bronze Doll and Stila Trio....
I've reviewed these before... Milani Runway Eyes in Beach Sand and Bronze Doll. And I didn't like them. But, the other day I was in CVS and saw that Milani has introduced some more colors to the Runway Eyes singles that were gorgeous!( They never have a BOGO free...Wassup with that Milani?) I thought of the ones I ALREADY had and decided to dig them up and and use them AGAIN but with a wet brush as one commenter had told me on the first Runway Eyes Post...
Spell it with me....LOVE!!! So much more intense and satin-y wet. It kinda went on like a really great quality cream shadow.Review:L'Oreal H.I.P. Color Presso in Ritzy,Swanky, and Stylish...

The reason I tell the price first is because I got to explain how I got all three( which would add up to 38.97) for 15.98...
*One was part of a BOGO Free at Walgreens..I bought Color Presso in Ritzy and got a HIP Kohl Liner in Black for Free.(12.99 before tax)
*The other two, Swanky and Stylish were a BOGO Free at CVS and I bought them with $10.00 Bonus Bucks I earned..$12.99+$12.99-$12.99=$12.99-$10.00=$2.99 before tax)=
$15.98
Deal? or No Deal? lol!! H.I.P Color Presso Review begins now....
Positive:-
-Cute and pretty and innovative...I had to have them in my stash!! The three colors I got are gorgeous...
-The color payoff is even swell, very true to the color you see and the mix it becomes and it has the signature HIP lipgloss "cookie" scent to them...
-Travel Friendly..2 Color Presso=4 lipglosses!
-you don't have to use both at the same time...I like the pink side of Swanky by itself!
BUT...

*L'Oreal...uh don't try to hustle the Diva. Those Color Pressos are ya'lls OLD HIP Brilliant Shine Lip Glosses in a NEW PACKAGING. SERIOUSLY...If you have like ten or fifteen of those old HIP Lip glosses in the Colour Juice package like me ( I picked them up when they discontinued them at 75% off), you might want to re-think re-buying in the form of Color Presso. I did realize it til I had bought the other two what had happened. HUSTLED.*
Negative:
-It never comes out evenly on both sides at the same time no matter how you position your fingers, hands.. I squeeze one color out first then the other color on top of the first color and swirl it with a lip brush. Should I be going through all that for a $12.99 lip gloss?
-Uhmmm....$12.99.Same explanation as the HIP Kohl Liners...L'Oreal...stop it! geezz!!
Consensus:
Buy it..on a BOGO Free...but remember what I said( go thru your old HIP glosses so you won't dupe).I'm not going get any other BTW...

Review: L'Oreal H.I.P. Kohl Eyeliner in Black....
Monday, February 23, 2009

I've had this little trinket,L'Oreal H.I.P. Kohl Eyeliner in Black, for about a month. I just wanted really get my thoughts together on it. Well, fortunately my thoughts are pretty short...because all you want to know is..."Should I buy one or not?" Right? That's what I'm thinking when I'm TRYING read thru a long review on a product....
So...
Positives:
-It's Black...like the intense black.But in order to get that intense you must be prepared for fall-out( I get on that later)
-The line it gave was good, smoky and velvety...oh.... It's good for that smokey eye look I'm sick of.:)
-Cute packaging!!!
-The selection of colors were gorgeous and tempting to snatch up but...
Negative:
-At my CVS and the nearest Walgreens they were $11.99...I mean there are MAC eyeshadows and liners at the CCO CHEAPER than that. WTH L'Oreal? Ya'll getting little too bossy for ya britches. Folks start raving..."Oh this HIP joint is the poor girl's MAC" and ya'll raise prices...geeezz...
-FALL-OUT!!! It's basically a loose powder on a stiff tip applicator...I don't know how to get it on with fall-out. I even dusted the thing off...still all over my cheek it went.
Consensus:
Don't buy it. Not for 11.99. Not even on a BOGO Free( like I did)....
