Review: Loreal HIP Shine Struck Liquid Lip Color

The Loreal HIP Shine Struck Liquid Lip Color is really a great lip color, less of a gloss in my opinion. It has some shine, but it is not at all like other glass like glosses. The colors are very pigmented and there is a wide range of them. This product comes in nudes, browns, reds, pinks, with a wine or coral/orange color thrown in there, so I wasn't bored at all. It is kind of thick and lasts longer than most drugstore glosses that can be gone in an hour. The smell is sweet and unoffensive, it is a vanilla or caramel smell that goes away after a while. There are very little negatives I can think of about the lip color, but I'll mention them anyway. The lip color can bleed a little if used alone, so I would recommend a lip liner. It has a doe-foot applicator which I feel doesn't give you as much control as a brush like applicator. Lastly, the price is a little high for it, but if bought during a buy one get one sale, it can be reasonable. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a pigmented lip color that isn't a matte. These can be found drugstores nationwide for about $11.99.

I've never tried HIP products, but heard rave reviews about it. I do admit that HIP is a little pricey for a drugstore brand.

^I totally agree, it is best to get it BOGO or on sale.
