L'oreal Volume Perfect Re Shaping Lip Color By Willow on Jan 03, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

While my lips are not very thin, they could use some "visual enhancement," so to speak, so when I came across this lip color that promises to make lips look fuller, I was interested to try it. After some shopping online, I found it on Amazon for only $4.99 - quite a deal, compared to $18+ at some other sites.

This lip color comes in a stylish matte golden tube with two ends; one has cream base that looks like white lipstick and contains collagen, and the other end has the actual lip color. The cream base, called Re-shaping base, is applied first. It felt a little strange to put white lipstick on my lips; however, I had soon noticed that the base was not making my lips white but only smoothing and hydrating them. I waited for a few seconds, letting the base set in, and then applied color. It went on very smoothly and looked very impressive; I could tell that the cream base did something to my lips to prepare / condition them for the color. Did my lips look fuller? Well, not like after plastic surgery, but yes, there was some visible difference compared to regular lipsticks.
