L’Oreal Paris 504 My Sky Is The Limit Xtreme Resist Infallible Mega Gloss Review

Skin-tone: Fair to medium
Hello peeps,
I recently picked up 5 lip glosses from the L’Oreal Infallible Mega Gloss range and have already reviewed 3 of them. Now the one that I am reviewing now belongs to the Xtreme Resist section. I picked up 2 shades from this section called My Sky is The Limit and All Night Long. Here is the review on the shade My Sky Is The Limit.

Price: Rs 850 for 8 ml
Finish range: Extreme resist
Product Description by L’oreal Paris: Our No Compromise gloss is here. The formula is enriched with hyaluronic acid and shine colour pigments, leaving lips hydrated with a high level of shine. Enjoy a glossy look, without stickiness. The lip shaper applicator contours and hugs lips for a perfect glossy pout, all day.

Directions:
• Fill – Fill the applicator with the Mega Gloss Infallible Texture.
• Apply – Apply the lip gloss firstly onto the lower lip, from the centre to the corners. Repeat this on your upper lip, paying extra attention to your cupids bow. This way you will achieve a perfectly shaded effect, leaving the middle of your lips looking more intense and shinier in colour.
• Layer – For an even glossier effect, apply Infallible Lip Top Coat.

My Experience with L’Oreal Paris 504 My Sky Is The Limit Xtreme Resist Infallible Mega Gloss:

Packaging: The Infallible Mega Gloss looks very classy and luxurious. The packaging totally screams L’Oreal as it looks really glamorous with those beautiful shades peeking through. The bottles of the lip glosses are transparent which lets us see the colour if we own a few. The glosses are handy hence can be easily carried around in clutch/handbag. The applicator has a tilt shape which ensures proper application giving my lips a proper shape. So no issues with the packaging!

Shade: The shade “My Sky Is The Limit” is a pretty subtle pink shade with very fine shimmers to give a dazzling effect. The shade is too subtle for my liking, but those who like soft shades might like this pink. It can rightly be called a softer version of “Raani pink”! It looked pretty bold and pigmented in the bottle but the moment I applied there was more of glossiness and less of colour, so this one was a little disappointing for me. It is a great shade for everyday wear and also a nice option to top up on your bold lipsticks to give a glossy shine. This shade is perfectly suitable for all skin-tones because it doesn’t carry much of colour. But I liked Mafia Gloss from this range over this because it was pretty pigmented.

Consistency and finish: The consistency is thick yet buttery and creamy. It stays true to its claims. A thick layer gets applied to my lips smoothly revealing the beautiful finish and the colour. It is a bit thick so you need to keep your hair away from it. And I did not find these glosses with cream finish this thick, but this is more of a thick gel so it got really uncomfortable for a while. The creamy texture makes my lips appear fuller and thicker. But the thickness does not heal my chapped lips completely although it does give a lot of hydration till the time it stays. It might settle a bit in fine lines.

Staying power: The gloss stays for a really average time, probably just 2-3 hours since the shade is very subtle. I had expected it to stay longer since the price is higher than the glosses of some other brands. But after a meal, it gets ripped off partially displaying the chapped portions of my lips. So a little disappointing when it comes to the staying power, but at the end of the day they are glosses.

Will I Repurchase/Recommend L’Oreal Paris 504 My Sky Is The Limit Xtreme Resist Infallible Mega Gloss?
I liked the cream variants more than this. This gloss in particular isn’t really worth the money you pay, so call it a skip!
Conclusion: Good glosses but over-priced!
