Hundreds of customizable combinations. Lightweight, never layered. Supple, never sticky. Just the perfect blending of hi-gloss color. Easy to combine. Easy to carry. And like all HiP high intensity pigment™ products, all 20 shades pack more color pigment. Which is news worth repeating.

Truer Color Payoff. Longer Color Impact

MY TAKE:
I was given samples of these new lipgloss shades from L'oreal to test. I liken it to conjoined squeeze tube twins: think squeeze tubes containing different-colored lipglosses fused together to form one conjoined mass of tubes with two spouts. L'oreal HIP Presso double lipgloss has two different shades of product in two different tubes attached together. When you press either one or both tubes, the product would spurt out, and you can use one or mix both according to your whim.






wearing Swanky over MAC Marquise D' lipstick

(Full review after the jump)



The colors I got were lovely. Swanky contains a milky white pearly gloss and a cotton candy pink one (incidentally, this product smells strongly of cotton candy). Trendy is a pretty mauve with a nice strawberry-milk color shade to go with it. The gloss itself is not sticky at all and leaves a nice pearly sheen on the lips. It would look great on top of my favorite lipsticks, as these lipglosses are not heavily pigmented. In fact, some of the shades are quite sheer.

UPSIDE: Nice, non-sticky consistency, ability to mix the shades, convenient 2-in-1 tube

DOWNSIDE: I am not a fan of the packaging. I hated how it was so hard to take off the cap. I also didn't like the strong cotton candy smell. After a while, I felt like my teeth were gonna ache because of too much sugar on my mouth. It's probably just my imagination, but it still had a too-sweet effect on me. It also doesn't last that long on the lips.

Note: Some say that $12.99 is a bit too much for a drugstore lipgloss, but keep in mind that you are technically getting two lipglosses. Please don't try to compare this to a MAC lipglass. L'oreal HIP Presso is .34 fl. oz, while MAC lipglass has 0.17 fl. oz. of product. Technically, HIP Presso has twice more product than a MAC lipglass.

All in all, if you like a couple of shades of lipglosses that you can mix, match or wear separately, you might like this product. They have pretty colors that go well with the season. Personally, though, I would layer these on top of lipsticks as I don't like very sheer lipglosses. For the price, you also get two different-colored glosses. I am not a fan of the packaging, though, but you might like it if you are into squeeze tubes. I prefer my lipglosses in doe-foot or brush applicators.
