Hey
friends! Won’t you agree with me when I say that almost all of us have started
our “makeup journey” with the humble Kaajal (something which our moms never refused to give us) and a lip gloss! :D I remember feeling like a model on a glossy magazine
cover when I had put on my first lip gloss (a clear one from Oriflame). I was
in standard 8 then...Seems like ages back! Anyway, we have come a long way from
that and currently when I am in my mid-twenties, I prefer a matte pout more
than glosses. But every now and then just to “glam up” any look, glosses do
come handy! Having said that, I still prefer creamy glosses in sheer colours than
shimmery and deep colours: So what was my reaction when I received a super deep
purple lip gloss which had millions of tiny shimmer particles in it? Read on to
find out :D

Packaging: These “Mega Glosses” from
Infallible Range were launched for the “ICANnes” range of makeup by L’oreal in
2016 Cannes Film Festival. (Read about the FULL RANGE here). The gloss comes in a transparent
rectangular tube body which allows you to see the product from outside.

The cap is black in colour with a wand applicator attached to it and the applicator sponge is the MOST unique
one I have seen till now! Just look at this baby ;) The curved body and
tapered end allows perfect application even on thin lips like mine.
L’oreal always comes up with these unique touches, don’t you think? (Check the applicator of their earlier launch Color Riche lip gloss Coral Encore HERE)

Shade: First things first, look at the
MILLION shimmers visible over the lip gloss body! This particular shade is a Deep Plum
with loads of finely milled deep pink shimmer.

Truth be
told I was super scared to even think of applying such a “vampy” shade on
myself and that too when it has so much shimmers! But surprisingly, once I had
it on my lips, the colour was way lighter than what it appeared on the tube. The shimmers are not chunky at all and they
don’t stick to the lips when you try to remove your makeup. The deep plum,
although an attention catching shade, is very wearable and will suit across most
complexions.

Coming to pigmentation and texture, I had
read everywhere that these glosses are super light and totally non-sticky, but as
all lip glosses feel on my lips, this one too felt sticky initially.
Thankfully, after a few minutes, the sticky feel reduced considerably and I
found that the “lightweight” claim is true as well. Glosses DO tend to be more “heavy”
on lips (Read about MAC Russian Red Lip Gloss) than creamy lipsticks of “soft
matte” lip colors (Read Miss Claire soft matte lip creams), but
the texture of this gloss is quite manageable.

Pigmentation-wise, Gloss Me
I’m Gorgeous is able to deposit some of the colour it shows in the tube on your
lips but do not expect a full-blown colour. If you look at the swatches
carefully, you will see that the “colour”
is dispersed evenly but the shimmers are clustered in patches. This is what
happens when you swatch it for the first time. You need to go over the
application again and again to make these “lines” of colour and shimmer to
spread evenly. It might look unsightly over pigmented lips. I have applied this
gloss over bare lips so that you can understand what I am saying.

But since this colour is super wearable
inspite of being “vampy” in the tube, I would suggest line and fill your lips
with a berry lipliner first and then apply this gloss at the centre and then
spread out towards the corners. Leave the extreme corners
untouched with gloss, just the berry pink lipliner would do). That should
tackle the uneven spread of colour and shimmers.
Staying power of this
gloss is pretty decent. On me it stays for about
3-4 hours (without anything underneath) which is quite good for a gloss.
Over a lip liner, this should stay longer.

Overall,
I am quite fond of this mega gloss formula and would like to try the other
shades too. The only con I would say is the price. Had they retailed for 500-600/-
they would have been perfect for most of us.
Rating: 3.8/5
Recommendation:
L’oreal Paris Mega Infallible Gloss in Gloss Me I’m Gorgeous is a perfect pick
for evening parties. It is wearable even by non-shimmer lovers since the
shimmers are very fine and do not stick the lips. The light texture makes this
one a winner.
