L’Oreal Professional Serie Expert Sensi Balance Shampoo Review

10 Replies

Hi friends,

The climate is getting hotter day by day and it is taking a heavy toll on my hair and skin. My hair used to be soft and manageable but right now it is lifeless and dull. I have thin hair and my scalp gets itchy because of the hot summer. During my recent visit to a parlour, I told about these issues to my hair dresser and she suggested the L’Oreal Professional Serie Expert Sensi balance shampoo. Here is its review.

Ingredients:

It is a long list of chemical, so I have attached a picture for you to view.

Price and Quantity:

Rs. 500 for 250 ml.

My Take:

The shampoo comes in a sturdy transparent plastic bottle with a cap that does not leak. The nozzle is quite big so one has to be careful while using it.

The shampoo is a clear liquid that is quite runny as you can see in the picture. It has a chemical fragrance like that of spirit. It is just bearable but many may find it hard. It does not give a rich lather and this result in a lot of product wastage. If you oil your hair before washing, then you will have to shampoo your hair a few more times than usual to remove any residue.

It gives a very mild cooling sensation when applied. It makes my hair and scalp squeaky clean. The product build up caused by styling can be removed using this. It controlled all the itchiness I faced due to heat and pollution. The hair looks more voluminous after shampooing. It will not provide moisture for the already dry hair. I used a good conditioner and that took care of the mild drying effect of the shampoo. I will use the shampoo as long as the summer lasts.

PROS:

  • Cleans hair and scalp thoroughly
  • Boosts the volume of hair
  • Clears product build up
  • Controls scalp irritations

CONS:

  • Price is on the higher side
  • Might not suit dry haired people
  • Contains SLS and parabens

 

Rating:

4/5

 

Overall verdict:

It is a good clarifying shampoo. Though it seems costly, the amount of product we get compensates for it.

L’Oréal Paris Color Riche Lipstick Pink Passion Review, Swatches and FOTD

50 Replies

How many pink lippy lovers are here? Raise your hands! If you are a pink lover, then this question is for you. Have you ever dreamt about your summer pink lipstick? I mean summer pink. Do you get it? I love summers for only reason. i.e I can wear bright pink and coral lippys! (If this reason doesn’t exist, I seriously hate you summer!) And this lipstick, Pink Passion from L’Oreal Color Riche Range is my recent love! Read on to know more about this lipstick.

Price and Quantity: 

Rs.825 for 4.7 g

 

Shade Reviewed:

No 371 Pink Passion

My Take:

This Color Riche lipstick comes in a classy golden tube which is easy to use and travel friendly. The shade name is printed at the bottom of this lipstick.

 

Pink passion is a summery pink lipstick with a hint of coral. The texture is smooth and creamy. It glides on to my lips like a dream! The mean reason why I love this lipstick is of course its creaminess. There are no silly shimmers or glitters present in this lipstick. After application, it settles into a fine glossy finish, which turns truly matte in 1-2 hours.

The pigmentation of this lipstick is just awesome! Just one swipe and you are all done. Pigmented lips will love this particular shade. On my lips, it shows bright coral-ly pink soon after application but turns into a beautiful (Read wearable!) pink after few minutes. With more than 3-4 swipes, it shows a bit neon-sh.

At first, I got scared seeing the shade on the tube. I was like ‘Oops.. This is definitely going to wash me out’ but then, I realized that this pink passion shade is a lovely wearable shade for most of the Indian skin tones. I have a dark skin tone and I can still carry it well with good base makeup. It also suits pale, dusky and tan beauties.

One thing I want to mention about this lipstick is that it settle into fine lines if your lips are not well exfoliated. Without exfoliation, your lips cannot carry this shade at all! But this happens with almost every lipstick.

The staying power of this lip stick is excellent! It stays for 3-4 hours on me and then leaves a lovely tint that stays for 2-3 more hours. The lipstick is kiss proof too! (Believe me, I seriously didn’t test it) 😛

Overall, I am in LOVE with Pink Passion and I would say it is a great quality lipstick though the price is a bit steep. Once you get it, you won’t regret for it

The shade washes out dusky skin toned girls (like me!) if worn without a good makeup base. If you wear it with your foundation and compact on, you will rock whatever you skin tone is!

 

PROS

  • Gorgeous summery pink shade
  • Surprisingly, this lipstick suits almost every skin tone
  • Great pigmentation
  • A good lipstick for pigmented lips
  • Smooth, creamy texture
  • Stays good for 3-4 hours leaving a beautiful tint behind
  • Doesn’t settle into patches
  • Doesn’t dry out my lips
  • Doesn’t transfer much though being creamy

CONS

  • Might be a bit drying on dry lips after 1-2 hours
  • Settles into fine lines without proper exfoliation

 

Rating: 4.5/5

 

Do I Recommend?:

I highly recommend this particular shade! If you are really passionate about PINK, then this lipstick is a must in your vanity case. The creamy texture, the beautiful summer pink color and the pigmentation makes this lipstick stand out!

 

Would I Repurchase?

Hmmm To be honest, its a ‘No’.. But wait, I will definitely try out the other shades from this range. Though the price is bit high for me (and all the students out there!) the quality of this lipstick attracts me a lot! I am eyeing out for Red Rhapsody next.
