People stop me in the street when I wear this lip gloss
I know. I sound stupidly full of myself. But it worked: I got your attention. Most days I feel pretty invisible walking down the street. I haven’t lost the weight I’ve put on since having a baby, and that was four years ago. I really need a haircut. I dress for comfort over style. And I wander around in a constant state of distraction, trying to remember the next thing on my to-do list. So when someone (always another woman) stops me in the street or in a shop to ask for the name of my lipgloss, I take notice. Of the lipgloss.
Introducing L’Oreal Paris Shine Caresse in 200 Princess, an absolute ripper of a lipgloss and my go-to colour for the past two years. It’s a juicy yellow-toned coral, which is incredibly flattering on a variety of skin tones. Coral has been trending for around eight years now, and while we’re seeing nudes coming back in a BIG way for lips, I’ll be wearing my coral gloss for a little while yet.
Clockwise from left, Barbara Palvin; A Brimful of Tasha; Maria from Glam Radar; and Elia Chaba all wear L’Oreal Glam Shine Caresse in 200 Princess.
It’s also a great option for those who are are bit scared of wearing a full-on red. This packs the same visual punch as a red lip, but the subtle shine and stain of the pigment makes it softer and somehow more wearable. I really love the feel of this gloss on my lips too, which is super-moisturising without being sticky. This is down to the formula comprised of 30% water and 60% oil.
You can find L’Oreal Paris Shine Caresse in 200 Princess at Priceline and pharmacies for $23.95.
Tell me: do you have a lipstick or lipgloss that people always notice?
