Blogger Mail: New L.O.V Fall Products

I have used some L.O.V products before, I love the matte liquid lipstick and their brushes. I feel L.O.V is one of those brands where every product looks very luxurious and you can't just walk by their products in the store without swatching some of them. If you compare the prices to the sister brands, Essence and Catrice, they are a bit higher, but in my opinion worth those few extra bucks, because the quality is much better. I got a chance to try their new products for fall, I got an eyeshadow palette, a metallic lipstick, a mascara and a highlighting & bronzing palette.

Luxurious Eyeshadow Palette 720 Devoted To Metallics

The eyeshadow palette comes in a luxurious looking packaging, it feels soft like silicone. Because of the material, the inside of the palette gets dirty quickly and it is a bit harder to clean than by the normal plastic palette. It's very small but quite thick. I love that it comes with a big mirror and without the brush. I don't like the brushes that come with palettes because mostly they are not particularly good and I don't use them. I much prefer having a mirror. You get 8g in the palette for 14,99€.

There are three different palettes, I got 720 Devoted to Metallics, the roses one looks amazing too. In Devoted to Metallics you get five eyeshadows, all are shimmery. The palette is meant to be for two makeup looks, from the middle white to the left brown for one and from the white to the right brown for the other. Of course, you can use it as you want, these are just tips on how to use it.

I was surprised at the quality of the eyeshadows. They have a soft and buttery texture, they are great pigmented, especially two darkest shades. They dust a little bit. They all are shimmery and have a metallic effect, the first and the last shade not so much like the others, but they don't look so intensely shimmery on the eyes. I love my matte eyeshadows and I usually don't go for shimmery ones, but I like these. I love using the rose shade all over my lid on its own with an eyeliner and a mascara and it looks gorgeous.

The eyeshadows are longlasting, if I only applied that one rose shade it didn't crease at all, but if I combined the shades and did a smoky eye, they did start to crease at the end of the day. I did use the Avon primer before, but do consider I have fairly oily eyelids. I feel I like this palette more and more, I just love using the rose shade all over my lids and two darkest ones on my lower lash line. I really recommend this one.

LIPaffair Colour & Care Lipstick Metallic 603 Bronze Sculpting

These metallic lipsticks are completely new, the formula is supposed to be the same as by their regular LIPaffair lipsticks. There are four shades, I got the shade 603 Bronze Sculpting. Here you can see swatches of the other three shades. I'm interested to see what the purple one would look like on the lips.

The lipstick comes in an all gold packaging, it just has a bit of black detail. The packaging feels sleek and luxurious. On the bottom of the lipstick, you have a sticker which is in the shade that the lipstick is, you also have a shade name there. It also has a magnetic closure, which I love, it's very satisfying. Maybe it could just be a bit stronger because I have a feeling the lid would fall off if you will carry it in the makeup bag or your purse. You get 3,7g for 9,99€.

It is a nice metallic nude shade, I would describe it as a metallic rose gold shade. It's well pigmented and easy to apply. It is quite creamy and due to kendi oil not drying, it feels comfortable on the lips. The finish is metallic and even though it's not something I would wear on regular basis, it looks gorgeous, especially in the sun. It lasts for up to two-three hours.

LASHseduction Instant Volume Mascara 100 Seductive Black

The LASHseduction mascara comes in a shiny silver packaging with some red and white writing. I like the shape, just as by the lipstick, it looks nice and sleek. You get 12ml for 10,99€. This one is not waterproof, but you can also get a waterproof one. 

The wand is medium-sized, slim, narrowed in the middle and slightly twisted. I like it, it grabs the lashes well and it doesn't clump them, even though the formula is very wet.

At first, the formula is very wet and it can get messy if you are not careful. I'm usually quite clumsy when applying mascara, but with this one, I always get some product around the eyes, which can be a problem if I take a long time doing my eyeshadow. After some time the formula dries a bit, it's still wet, but I actually like that because of the effect it gives. It gives the effect of full and black lashes, it lengthens them. It is supposed to be for volume, L.O.V actually promises XL volume, I would say it is good, but in my opinion nothing special. It doesn't smudge, it stays on for the entire day. I did notice it's a bit harder to remove than the other few mascaras I tested in the last couple of weeks.

I feel it doesn't look good on the picture, but I really like this mascara, it's great, it looks amazing, but it's just so messy to apply that I rather reach for other mascaras I have in my stash if I'm in a hurry. But if I have a little bit more time, I will use this one for sure.

THE GLOWrious Highlighting & Bronzing Palette 010 Rose Addiction

I love the cardboard packaging of this palette. It's gold with black writing. It has a magnetic closure, this one is much stronger than the one by the lipstick, it can't just open in a bag. It also has a big mirror, which comes handy if you take the palette with you. There are two versions, one for lighter skin tones and one for darker. You get 12,5g of product for 14,99€. In the palette, you get three products, two highlighters (one light and subtle, the other metallic) and a bronzer.

The first highlighter doesn't work on my skin tone at all, it's poorly pigmented and it doesn't even show on my skin. The second one is very pretty, it is quite white, but still champagne gold based. It has tiny shimmer in it. This one is good pigmented and it has a metallic effect. It blends into my skin and looks natural, very pretty, but not for those who are looking for a super shimmery and bright highlighter.

 The bronzer I like a lot, I thought it would be too light for me, but it's not. It's okay pigmented, I expected a better pigmentation, but to be honest, now I can swirl my brush in the product and I don't have to worry I would look too bronzed. It's not patchy, it applies and blends well, it gives my skin that warm sun-kissed look. I really like it, it's probably my favourite out of the three.

They are longlasting, I can still see the highlighter in the evening when I remove my makeup. I mostly adore the packaging, it looks gorgeous. The first highlighter is not for me, some bloggers told me that this one is also great as a face powder and that it gives a nice glow, maybe I should try it like that, maybe it would work better for me. The other two product I really enjoy using, especially the bronzer.

I like all of the products, I would recommend them all. The palette is gorgeous, the lipstick is not really for me because of its finish, but the formula is nice. The mascara is amazing, but I have to take a bit more time to apply it. The last, the highlighting & bronzing palette would be perfect for those with lighter skin tones, but for me, my favourite would probably be the bronzer, even though the second highlighter is great too. I'm really impressed with all of these products, now I even have a bigger wishlist for this brand.
