L'oreal Glam Shine 6H Volumizer Lip Gloss in 404 Everlasting Melon



404 Everlasting Melon








Price: £7.99 (TESCO has 404 Everlasting Melon on sale for £3.99)

Packaging: Clear tube, silver and plastic lid, heart-shape applicator

My Thoughts: 
  • Slight plastic smell, not very noticable
  • No taste
  • Boots offers 6 shades online
  • Very slight tingling sensation
  • Very pigmented
  • Medium coverage
  • All shades have shimmer and/or glitter
  • Not gritty
  • Very sticky
  • A coral-orange with golden shimmer
  • Drying
  • Long lasting (3 hours max)
  • When it fades it becomes very tacky and bits of glitter is all that is left
  • Low/medium shine, more like a liquid lipstick
Before and After





















I wouldn't buy this again due to the drying/very sticky formula :( will be looking out for a dupe though as I love the colour!

Love, Vee :)

2True Colour Drench Lip Glosses Review

 Shades 1 and 2 (left 2, right 1)


Price: £1.95 each or 3 for £5

Packaging: Transparent tube with a black lid and a doe-foot applicator, look quite sleek! Only complaint is the shade number is on a sticker on the top of the lid so is likely to fall off after a while.

My thoughts: 
  • Smell delicious, like cake batter!
  • No taste
  • The pigmentation is medium to high
  • High gloss finish
  • Stays on for about an hour at most
  • Superdrug offers 9 shades, most have no shimmer
  • Drying 
  • Not sticky
Before and After











Shade 1 - No shimmer, medium coverage brown-pink












Shade 2 - Hot artificial pink with shimmer, medium coverage












*Ignore any difference in skin colour as the flash is needed to show the true colour of the lip gloss but my natural lip colour is shown best without a flash! 

Love, Vee :)

Shades 9, 18, 16 (in order)




























Price: £1.95 or 3 for £5

My Thoughts:

  • Smell faintly of cookies
  • No taste
  • Most of the shades in the range have shimmer or some glitter in them
  • 2True offer 24 shades online (find them in Superdrug)
  • Coverage is medium 
  • Quite thick consistency 
  • Not sticky at all
  • Stay on for about an hour or two 
  • Great pigmentation! 
  • Applies evenly and doesn't settle into fine lines at all 
  • Moisturising
  • Medium shine

Before and After
