REVIEW: Loreal HiP Color Truth Creme Eyeliner





Loreal HiP Color Truth Creme Eyeliner


Black

Brown

Midnight Blue
Eggplant

Teal




Okay, so I know what you're thinking:
That Eggplant looks like Brown, and that Midnight Blue looks like Eggplant ! But no, that is quite how they look like in the jar when they are upside down, but you can tell the accurate color when applied. 


How about this one ?


There, how's that ?
I would post some swatches, but since I don't have ALL of these I'll just let you guys look them up if you're interested.

Breaking it Down

These "creme" eyeliners are considered "gel" eyeliners, which I have completely fallen in love with, because of the smooth texture and their staying power. These are very pigmented, and there are currently 5 colors available. Some of these eyeliners have micro glitter, like Midnight Blue, Eggplant, and Teal. Each of these jars- which relate to paint pots- contain 4.5 grams of product in it, which is pretty generous considering MACs' Fluidline only has 3 grams. It comes with a small angled eyeliner brush, which can be useless or somewhat handy, depending on your preference. 

How It Works

Applying eyeliner can differentiate from person to person, but what I like doing is lining both my upper lash line and my waterline. This product is perfect for both ! For the upper lash line, I pull on my corners and take an angled eyeliner brush (since I don't like the brush it comes with) and make a straight line along my upper lashes. For the waterline, I use the same brush and "pat" some on (you honestly need a TINY amount of this stuff to show up), and smudge it (making the corners darker) across. I also like creating wings with the black eyeliner.

Black

Three words. Snaps. That's BLACK. I mean, could get any more pigmented than this ? Extremely black, extremely pigmented. For some people who don't like a dramatic look, that's a downside, but for some people who LOVE it, then you better run to the nearest drug store and buy this little sucker ! 


Eggplant 

So I was looking for a nice deep purple eyeliner, because I heard it can make brown eyes "pop". I had liked the Black version of this eyeliner, so I decided to try the Eggplant. I really do like it. Yes, it's not as pigmented as the black, but I think it really does compliment my eyes. It makes my eyes look a little like a gray-ish brown, which I think is really cool, considering, who wouldn't want mysterious eyes ? ;)
But anyways, if I don't feel like looking like I'm wearing harsh, black eyeliner, I usually reach of this little guy !

Staying Power

                                                              Just Applied


                                                      Rinsed with Water

That's quite excellent, don't you agree ? ;)

Would I Recommend and Repurchase ?

Without a doubt ! I'm probably going to end up buying all the colors ! x)
