L'Oreal Elnett Satin

L'Oreal Elnett Satin is one legendary hairspray in the beauty industry. It's known to deliver hold while maintaining hair's natural bounce.

I've seen the big version of this product sold in Sasa and just couldn't get myself to buy because I know I wouldn't be able to finish it; when I saw this mini tube in Boots I thought it was the perfect size to try.

The product is released with a "push-down" button.

The spray nozzle is without cover.

 

Some description.

Ingredients list. Alcohol tops it. (Eek!)

I am very glad with this handy 75ml can. I've only used it once for a party and I think this is the perfect size to get if you're using hairsprays only for special occasions.

The finish is definitely natural; in fact I had to spray this product lots of times to get it to "hold" my hair style. I would say Extra Strength is a bit misleading to describe this product's capacity. If you prefer quick action from your hairspray, this product is not it. But for mild hold and natural waves, this product is just fine.

Lunasol Noble Shade Liner + L'Oreal Paris Super Liner

My favorite liners are liquid types simply because they do not smudge. 

A case of attachment

My history with eyeliners is filled with failures and disappointment. Here is a rough list that smudged on me: MAC Fluidline, MAC Pencil Eyeliners, Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner, RMK Pencil Eyeliner, Kanebo Kate Gel Liner, Lunasol Pencil Eyeliner, Neal's Yard Eye Liner, In2It Waterproof Gel Eyeliner; basically all non-liquid formulas. And if they did not smudge, the color payoff was poor like Lunasol Intellectual Liquid Eyeliner, Koji Line Queen, and K-Palette Real Lasting 24 Hour Eyeliner.

It was absolute delight to have discovered these two eyeliners. Lunasol Noble Shade Liner in 02 Khaki Brown comes in an elegant glass container and bronzed cap. This type of packaging is hard to beat in my book as I fall for anything transparent, heavy, and shiny all at the same time. L'Oreal Paris Super Liner in Black Crystals comes with a "shake before use" instruction. I quite like the sound of beads clicking against the container.

A dripping rich elixir of bronze-brown with a hint of green defines Noble Shade Liner in Khaki Brown. Take a look at the stark color achieved with two coats. Absolutely captivating. This is high-quality liner in many respects. The depth, complexity, and final effect of this shade is not easy to find in or replicate with other brands. The lasting power is very good but not as strong as L'Oreal Super Liner. The brush tip is fine and soft. The liquid dries in no time.

To the right, Super Liner is shown in one coat. The pigmentation is a real feat. It lasts the whole day, even longer than the Noble Shade Liner. The felt tip makes the task of applying eyeliner quite elementary. Every time I use this, it feels like drawing my face using a Pentel pen (household name here for soft/felt-tip marker pens). Imagine how a pen dries as it applies; this is the same with the Super Liner. This shade in Black Crystals is supposed to provide a glittery effect but it doesn't manifest so much. It is hard to say this with most of my makeup, but these two I consider as great buys and have absolutely no regrets acquiring.
