L'Oreal HIP Jelly Balm in Plush
L’Oreal’s High Intensity Pigment line has amazing eyeshadows (Satin Taupe is one of my favorites!) and liners that you would swear are high end with their quality – and their Jelly Balm gloss is no exception.
I was attracted to this cool salmon pink Plush 120 shade so I picked it up for around $5 at Walgreens. While it’s a gorgeous color on its own and long lasting, this gloss has another use: layering. I layer it under shades that I find too frosty and would otherwise throw away, and it tones them down. I can layer this under any gloss and give it a totally new look. If I find a gloss it too warm for my skintone, this cool tones in this shade neutralize it, making it more wearable.
Bottom line: whether or not you go out and buy this exact shade doesn’t matter. Don’t be afraid to layer and play with your glosses/lipsticks because you could create your signature shade from countless combinations. Have fun playing!

P.S. For quality and value, the HIP Jelly Balm gets 5 out of 5 Dots.
