Many of you lovely and loyal BeautyStat readers know that we love reviewing L’Oréal Paris’ innovative and exceptional, high-performing products. But, some say that the brand has tested and perfected its latest products’ formulas on animals.
We got in touch with L’Oréal who have released a video found on their website that goes into great detail …

With names like Naked, Truth, Vain, Dare, Virgin and Vixen — how could one not want to try these newly launched lipglosses from vbeauté? I was so taken with founder, Julie Macklowe, that I reached out via to review her new Lip Spread Anti-Age Hydrating Lip Glosses ($28.00 each).
I started seeing ads for the brand in both Vogue and Allure Magazines, and was even more intrigued! The picture of her attending the 2013 Met Gala put me over the edge. She looked simply amazing! I had to know more about …

Seems that nowadays women crave full, luscious lips! Well, I remember growing up hating mine — the taunts, jokes (bubba lips, liver lips – you name it, I heard it!)… Well, look who’s laughing now!

One thing I do know (aside from curls) is lips! Thanks to Angelina Jolie, I’ve learned not to be ashamed but to actually love and play up my lovely feature — and embrace my plunger pucker!

Now, get ready for RiRi Woo ($15.00) – M·A·C‘s cult classic shade Ruby Woo remixed by Rihanna herself. Exclusively online only (see here for the >> preview post).

RiRi Woo is a “retro matte,” blue-toned red — and it is VERY MATTE, almost looks powdery on lips. Your lips may feel dry due to it being “so matte,” but it’s definitely the truest red I’ve come across!

It gives you that “retro/pin-up” look. I used zero lip balm (wish I did) and my lips looked FLAWLESS! This lipstick will definitely have you pulling off notice-me-lips …

From Clinique, introducing A Different Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skins ($16.00)! Launching any minute at Clinique counters nationwide, as well as online at www.clinique.com, will come 12 colors in their permanent collection (as well as 9 limited-edition shades).

I cannot believe the variety in both color and the fact that they are not only dermatologist-tested, but also ophthalmologist-tested and formulated for sensitive skins blew me away!

The facts are that a person touches their eyes on average 200x per day, so nail enamel could be considered a significant allergen as it comes …
