L'Oreal's Passport to Paradise

I went to my local drugstore this week and I immediately noticed L'Oreal's Passport to Paradise Summer Collection. I mostly recognized it because all the products were still there. (Don't you hate it when you see new a new collection but it's already been ransacked?) Well, I was gazing at the nail polishes and glanced over the unnecessary bronzer/lipcolors for me. They also had two eyeshadow quad sets, but the colours were nothing special to me. The combination of the blues/sea greens and gold were pretty though, but I already have them separately.

So back to the nail polishes.. there are three (from left to right): Water's Edge (the sea-green color), High Tide (light blue with grey sparkles) and Ocean Breeze (literally like a beautiful blue ocean). I went home that night to read reviews and see color swatches. I went back to the store the next day, and unfortunately the Water's Edge (the one I liked the most) was no longer available.

This limited edition is available at select drugstores near you. I think I'll be going back to pick up the rest of the colors.

What do you think of the collection?

L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Explosion Mascara Review

Want defined and lengthened lashes that look absolutely gorgeous? Then, try the new L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Explosion Mascara!

What makes this mascara truly unique is their brush! It combed my lashes individually and along with the formulation of the mascara, this new product made my eyes stand out. It is great to use to make yourself look awake- think 8 A.M. meetings on Monday mornings. It does take some time to learn how to use the wand right though. I had to give myself an extra 5-10 minutes to complete the application. (Had to be super careful!) I like that the mascara stays put and lasts long. It hardly gave me raccoon eyes or flakes at the end of the day.

Here is a closeup picture of the spherical brush wand. It takes some time to get the hang of using this brush because of its different shape. (Since we have adapted to using the traditional longer brushes for sweeping mascara from the base of our lash to the tip.) Practice makes perfect!

I recommend that you get yourself this if you're looking to try something new and you want to define your lashes with this spherical wand. (But only if you have extra time to spare in the morning with your routine and/or the patience to re-learn how to apply mascara.) Once you learn to use the wand, the pay-off is amazing!

(Disclaimer: I received this product from a third-party to test, try and share my thoughts with my readers.)
