REVIEW: L'oreal Gold Dust Nail Polish (139 Rough Around The Edges)

I am reviewing this product as a part of this week's WEEKLY REVIEW

L'Oreal Gold Dust Nail Polish collection has a TOTAL of 9 colours in the USA- I have ONLY SPOTTED 4 of the colours here in CANADA

This product REMINDS me BOTH of the SALLY HANSEN GEM CRUSH line (PERMANENT) and the ESSIE ENCRUSTED TREASURES collection (the texture is VERY similar)

The shade I am review is 139 Rough Around The Edges- $5.96CAD
** For the purpose of testing out the product AS IS, I DID NOT put a base coat on BUT I did use the NYC clear top coat**


UPDATE DIFFERENT SHADE#141 Hidden Gems

To be honest, I DO NOT think you need both shades, as they are quit SIMILAR...UNTIL you are in the SUN LIGHT. #141 Hidden Gems has TINY TINY BLUE shimmers, but I COULD ONLY see them when I added TWO COATS OF SHINY top coat, even then, it LOOKED VERY SIMILAR TO #139 Rough Around The Edges 

PROS:
  • Very OPAQUE 
  • Takes about 3 MINUTES to completely dry
  • Easy to take off
CONS:
  • The second coat was HARDER TO PUT ON (Possibly due to the gritty texture)
  • Chipped a lot faster than the other L'oreal nail polishes (Could be due to the fact that I DID NOT put a base coat)
OVERALL: I would RECOMMEND this product! This product is definitely WORTH a TRY. I can't wait to try on the other colours!

REVIEW: L'Oreal REVITALIFT MIRACLE BLUR -Instant Skin Smoother Finishing Cream

L'Oreal REVITALIFT MIRACLE BLUR- Instant Skin Smoother Finishing Cream is part of my WEEKLY REVIEW

I found mine at WALMART for $21.96 CAD (This seems to be the cheapest REGULAR PRICE)

The purpose of this product is to act UNDER MAKEUP as a PRIMER or act ALONE as a SKIN SMOOTHER

I have the ORIGINAL formula (there is also a OIL FREE formula):
  • As seen from the ABOVE picture, it comes out as a THICK consistency 
  • Once it is BLENDED it will leave NO VISIBLE FILM 
  • LET DRY before applying MAKEUP to stop the makeup from SLIDING
PROS:
  • NON SCENTED
  • Very smooth finish- DEFINITELY smooths out skin (Blurs out fine lines/pores)
  • You can see a SIGNIFICANT difference even if you DO NOT put makeup on 
CONS:
  • Will STICK TO DRY SPOTS 
OVERALL: I WOULD RECOMMEND this product:
  • Though it is on the pricier side a LITTLE DOT will go a LONG WAY
  • The product GOES ON SMOOTHLY and smoothes out your skin, BUT DOES NOT FEEL GREASY
  • Can be used both UNDER and OVER makeup
This is a GREAT alternative and for me WORKS BETTER than the MAKEUP FOREVER primers that easily go from $30~$50 (I have used both the MICROPERFECTING primer and the ALL MATT primers). Let me know how this WORKED FOR YOU!!!
