Loreal has by far the best cosmetic products available in the market in average price range.

I have tried many of their lip products- from old fashioned lipsticks to lip glosses and I have found them to be the best i have used when compared to Maybelline, Revlon etc etc.

Last year I bought Loreal's 6 hour glam shine lip gloss from Tesco for approx £7. It was loreal's first gloss that shines for up to 6 hours! I used to like the lipsticks better because they stayed for longer. So I was hesitant to buy one of these for £7. But read one of the reviews here and tried the tester and finally bought it. I was quite amazed as to how long this lip gloss stays on your lips. It didn't stay for 6 hours but did a better job than many others.

The shape of the bottle is easy to hold. the applicator brush is tear drop shaped with a hole in middle- don't know its purpose but works well. Since the tip of the brush is sharp, you can apply to the lip edges too.

The lip gloss itself is nice and shiny- has the diamond sparkly look to it- makes the lips looks a little fuller!!! Only problem is that when the gloss wears off, the shiny bits stay on and when washed you can find some still sparkling around your mouth.

But this is not a big issue when compared to how well it looks. I have bought a couple more after that and has become an essential in my handbag now.
