L’Oreal HIP Cream Paint

First Impressions:
I always maintain the basis of a good eyeshadow look is a liquid base, there are many liquid eyeshadow;, however this I feel is the best – for value and quality mainly.

The L’Oreal brand is trusted by millions of women and has a image of good quality. I came across this product as I was looking for cheap liquid liners, and a L’Oreal product at £1.75 :-)))))))) seemed a definite way to go.

When I got it, it came in a little box and a decent brush too! (not often found with some eye-shadows)  It does seems a bit of a strange design, but a strangely professional and smart. The tube itself seems really small, however you only need a small ½ pea size on each eyelid, it covers space well and makes the eyes look lovely, bright and dewy.

Application
As always on Sparkles&Mirrors I suggest using this type of product for a base on all eyeshadows, this eyeshadow is light and still with a strong colour so it can be used on its own or a base. As well as ALWAYS applying with a brush.
As mentioned above the tube size makes you think that you will get through it quick but you only need a small amount.

Likes&Dislikes
I LOVE the price, quality, range of colours (mainly neutral colours, still very effective)
I dislike the fact that the tube isn’t bigger, I’d like a little bit more product.
