ELLA K BEAUTY REVIEW

L’Oreal Bare Naturale Gentle Mineral Concealer (Light) Review

Bare Naturale Concealer is a feathery-soft powder with a brightening matte finish.  The concealer provides sheer to medium coverage for dark circles and blemishes but the coverage gradually melts away.  The powder formula is gentle and non-irritating; however, it can accentuate dry, flaky skin.  The light shade is lighter than it appears in the packaging and would be suitable for fair to light complexions.  The sift container should be kept in upright position to prevent the powder from spilling out. 

L’Oreal EverPure Sulfate-Free Volume Shampoo Review

EverPure Volume Shampoo is a silky gel-cream that distributes easily over the hair and lathers well.  The formula contains a combination of mild cleansers and light conditioners.  The shampoo leaves hair clean, shiny and full of body.  This product has a strong fresh scent with hints of rosemary and juniper. 

L’Oreal Telescopic Clean Definition Mascara Review

The mascara is housed in a silver container made to look like a telescope.  The applicator wand is long, flimsy and awkward to use.  The brush is flexible with short rubber spikes.  The mascara builds long straight lashes while adding some fullness.  The clumping is minimal and the mascara stays put all day.

L'Oreal Bare Naturale Gentle Lip Conditioner (Soft Petal) Review

Bare Naturale Gentle Lip Conditioner looks and feels like a rich, emollient lip gloss.  The formula is infused with sweet almond oil, vitamin E and mineral pigments.  The conditioner enhances the natural look of lips with subtle shimmer, shine and a sheer pink tint.  The lips feel soft, smooth, moist and not too sticky.  The packaging is sleek and convenient.

L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Gelée for Body (Medium-Deep) Review

Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Gelée is a translucent, runny gel with a light orange tint.  Contrary to the product’s claims, this gel takes a long time to dry, but it develops a nice, dark tan (I recommended using a dry tissue to remove the excess product from the knees, elbows and ankles to prevent those areas from turning brown).  The fragrance is quite strong but bearable.   

L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Towelettes for Body (Medium Natural Tan) Review

These individually wrapped towelettes are saturated with a lightly scented self-tanning solution that dries quickly after application.  This product develops a natural-looking sunless tan but it can look streaky if not applied evenly (I find that applying the wipes in circular motion helps with streaking).  The color lasts a few days and fades naturally.
