Infallable Pro Matte Gloss Review (Bare Attraction)

-
I love L'Oreal's Infallable Make Up Line, so even if I am no longer into glossy lippies, I decided to buy and try one the Pro Matte Glosses that the brand has. There was no change of heart, I am still and I think forever will be a matte lipstick kind of girl!

L'Oreal Matte Gloss. More than my love for he Infallable line, what drew me to this product and what made me really curious is the name. I mean, how can a gloss lipstick be matte? My original plan was just to swatch it when I happen to drop by a beauty store, but when I did, the beauty consultant said it was on sale, P100.00 ($2.50) off so am I to say no, right? It retails for P400.00, got it for P300.00
  

Since most of the brands were on sale on that specific weekend, there were only three shades available. I tried to convince myself to try a darker shade, but I just fell inlove with this brownish-coralish one! My type of MLBB shade, actually.

Here it is compared to my all time favorite MAC Lipsticks. Kindy Sexy has Matte fiish while Mocha is Satin. 

To be honest, I was not expecting to really like this product but I was also hopeful that it at least wouldn't be so much of  a disappointment. 


So this is how it looks like on me. 
As expected, it did not set matte. I took the photo above approximately 30 minutes after application. Despite having a velvety / satin finish, I actually liked it more than I was expecting to. The color pay off is very pretty. Since it isn't matte, transfer is expected. 

4 hours after application

I had 2 cups of coffee, ate chocolate digestive cookies and here how it looks 4 hours after. It still looks beautiful from afar as you can see; up close though, it's a different story. I wasn't disappointed since I was already expecting it. It is downside, yes, but c'mon. The name of the lipstick is Pro Matte Gloss, so anyone who bought this should already know what they're getting!

So will I re-purchase this? I'm open to getting a darker shade! I kind of like it, tbh. This might be the start of me trying out lipglasses again. 


I do not know how to do a proper review, so let me do it by rating the things I consider whenever I buy a lipstick!

Packaging: 5/5 
Price: 4/5
Pigmentation: 5/5
Longevity: 3.5/5
Overall Rating: 4.6


I'm going to get better in doing reviews, but for now, this will do! For the mean time, let me know what you prefer? Do you prefer a lipstick with a bit of sheen or do you prefer the matte ones?

Hair Matters

When it comes to my hair, I always play safe. Hair check! Last time I had my hair really short? Hmmm, when I was in elementary school! I think I was in second grade? I don't remember if it was my grandmother or my mother who decided that I should have my hair cut short. I was just a little kid so I had no choice but to oblige. I obviously did not like how it turned out. It was actually because of that experience that I don't ever want to make a dramatic change to my hair. I remember how some of my classmates made a not so good comment with my then new haircut. THE hair can actually make you (feel) really ugly or pretty. So hair matters, right? RIGHT??? See, it's always in (almost) the same length. Straight. The only difference I actually make is the fringe. I either have it pulled back, full, side swept or none at all! And my face is asymmetrical (plus big) so yeah. I really don't have that much choice. I don't have the face which is flattering to short h

Lights. Pretty lights. Oh Christmas Tree! Why so taaalllll?? I started my December right by meeting up with my best friends at the Mall of Asia last December 1! We didn't take much photos because we got so excited catching up. We did not see each other for some time, so when we finally met up that day, kwento galore!  My Bestfriend, Jessica. I love how vain my bestfriend is! We really are best of friends hahaha! I used to be more vain than her, but as of the moment, I think she's more vain than I am! :)) And this is me, of course Top: Oxygen || Pants: Paper Scissors || Wedges:  Payless || Bag: Guess We were with Ymel, our other bestfriend, too but she's pregnant and she didn't want to have her photo taken because she thinks she's too fat. Well she gained weight because she's pregnant! Can't wait to meet Baby Zoey!!

For a week, I was given a chance to live a life that I wanted to live. I felt so happy. I felt so free. I felt responsible for myself. I did not worry much, in fact, I did not worry at all. Well, except for that one time, but I got it settled  right away. It was really fun. I know I said this already but  I felt really, really, REALLY happy. I've been dreaming of living a life like that and I am really thankful I experienced it. Even for just a short while. But then again, wouldn't it be a lot better if I were given a longer time to enjoy it? Yes, it was tiring. Even exhausting at some point, but if you were to ask, I can totally live a life like that! I would love to re-live that moment over and over again. I still cannot believe how so many things happened and had been accomplished for a week. So many thing had to be done and somehow, everything got settled. There was even an unexpected accomplishment which made everything more worthwhile.  I do not even know
