Re: Loreal HIP

What do you guys think about the paints?? I saw an ad for them in April's Cosmo and they look really nice & they are not in Canada yet! So far, all we have is the foundation and eyeshadow duos!

Re: Loreal HIP

I've only gotten one of the shadow duos, the one with purple and pink in it? (I think it might be called "Flamboyant".) and couldn't get more 'cause it's always sold out. I thought it'd be great and sort of a sub for more expensive MAC stuff, but the pigment was kinda disappointing. I still had to apply at least twice as much shadow as I would with a MAC or Urban Decay product, and the colours don't blend as well.

I really like the yellow colour though. It is good quality makeup, but with waiting for the stores to restock it's really just kinda... blah lol

Re: Loreal HIP

I really liked the eyeshadows, but the creme liner isn't for me. It was my first creme liner and I really liked the color. When I applied it, it would ball up and fall into my eyes. It seemed like it was little chunks of mascara falling or something, but I didn't have any on. I tried using a different brush and it did the same thing. Are all creme liners like that?

Re: Loreal HIP

My friend sent me some "pieces" of TEAL and the blue one liner and they are really hard. They have a real shape, a ball. Other cream / gel liners are more liquid. Definitaly. I read the advice to add glycerine to DRIED FLUIDLINERS. Maybe that would work for these too. I love the TEAL one. It´s like my favorite e/s POMPOUS BLUE by MAC. Great. But really, really hard.

Unfortunately my camera "steals" some green tones out of teal swatches. Bit crazy. So add some more green hints in your mind :-D

Me too, I just sold my palette with the original 15 e/s. They are very nice, but I always use MAC only. Would be a waste on me, because they are really good :-D

I actually did a search for palettes that would fit the duos, and I came across this site:

Four Seasons Products: Make Up For Ever- Make Up Cases, Palettes & Pouches

I haven't bought it yet, so I can't say how well they fit, but it looks like they would!

Re: Loreal HIP

LOL i know!!! i really wanted to try them after hearing SO many rave reviews but couldn't justify the price without being able to try them (as opposed to mac products) but went to the southcenter one on monday (was in the area) and saw they were bogo. i LOVE them ones i bought, which were the purple and black ones and am definitely going back tomorrow for the brown and blue ones. for the first time in my LIFE i don't have raccoon eyes!

Yaby makes a great freestyle pallete that fits anything... they're nice because you can mix and match squares, half circles and such

I've ordered from the site before and they have great customer service as well

Re: Loreal HIP

I wish I had a CVS in Albuquerque. We don't have anything cool...well a freestanding MAC store, but still I would love to find DS products like this on bogo. I long for a Sephora, Ulta, and better high-end counters!

Re: Loreal HIP

I love that line! I haven't tried many of the shadows yet, but I like the ones I have tried. I have a few of the glosses and they are actually some of my favorites out of all the trillions of glosses that I own LOL I also have the gel liner and OH MY GOD it's amazing. I actually prefer it over MACs Blacktrack fluidline, which is crazy because that was my fave thing for the longest.

To the poster to made the comment about HiP being a "rip off" of MAC:

How about you cut the BS and just call it an "alternative"? I am a MAC fanatic just as a lot of us are, but not everyone in here can afford to cash out like that.

Re: Loreal HIP

i heard rave reviews for the hip eyeliners...and saw some bogo at ulta last week. i bought the black and eggplant to try out because even if it's "outrageously expensive for a drugstore product" it's still really reasonable on bogo or even buy one, get one 50%.

i'm in love with the black one, and the purple one doesn't go on as vibrant as i'd like, but it's a good alternative for when black might be too much.

just a heads up, everything HIP is BOGO at rite aid as of today's papers lol.
i'm planning on getting the peacock one and brown one. $22 for 4 of these amazing products isn't bad at ALL.

Re: Loreal HIP

I have quite a few of these pigments. I really like Intrepid. I also have the light purple which is somewhat similar to my all time favorite-Urban Decay's Asphyxia color. I also have the Tan, Light Green, Teal and frosty off white one. I wasn't as impressed with the light green and tan until I used a darker base. The tealish gray blue color looks nice with or without a base. The duo eyeshadows are great too. But I would stay away from the matte colors. Flamboyant(yellow and purple) is a hit and miss. The yellow is great but the purple sucks bigtime. I think the others I have are really blendable though and the color payoff is pretty great. I bought a green eyeshadow pigment stick which is hard to apply. I will try the wet method now that I have heard about it.
When they are buy one get one it is awesome.
Also I think rite aid will let you return makeup if you dont like it. But double check first.
Hope this helps!

Re: Loreal HIP

I went to 4 Rite Aids today looking for the gel eyeliners and none of them had them! A lady I know works at the one and she said she thought they had to send them back which seems possible as it wasn't like they were out of them, they didn't even have spots for them. I did get the Parrot dupe which I'm wearing now and love it it and another I think was Cheeky, shimmering magenta and purple-plum.

Re: Loreal HIP

Mine are sort of like that. Only a few carry the paints and new lipglosses, and some just carry the very small limited line. I think it in part has to do with the displayers that they have. The newer and bigger drugstore tend to get the modified displayers that are meant for the eyeliners, pencils, etc. My Rite Aids only have the small original, but my CVS, which came in less than a year ago, has almost the full line.

Re: Loreal HIP

for a couple more dollars i would rather just buy MAC stuff BUT their cream liners are way better than fluid lines (if you apply it as a liner) they are just more pigmented so thats a

and yea i really do think HIP is a cheaper version of MAC so if you want to save a couple of dollars then go right ahead and get HIP. but i would just get mac because the quality is better. sure HIP has paints and pigments and the packaging is almost the same as MAC but they are DONT blend as well as MACs.

Come on now. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. There is no need to act like that.

It also costs a whole lot more , for the pigment at least you get 1.5 grams for 10-13 $ while with MAC you get 7.5 grams for 19.00 so to get 7 grams of the HIP pigment ( that amount you'd get with MAC) You are spending almost if not more that $70.00......
