L'Oreal Glam Shine Stain Splash



L'Oreal Glam Shine Stain Splash


Romy is one of the 8 shades which are introduced by L'Oreal’s new lip stains goes by the name Glam Shine Stain Splash. It is a pink shade with slight coral hues and subtle shimmer. Being compared to the YSL glossy stains, I believe this product can pull it off by looking at its various qualities which are found within, even better being sold for less!


After receiving the product, I could not wait to give it a go as there has been a huge hype about them recently over in the States. So many beauty bloggers have mentioned it being similar to the YSL lip product as mentioned above which made me even more eager and excited. As soon as I tried the product, I knew I had to review it so that everyone who are breaking their banks for the YSL gloss stain could give this product a go and see for themselves.  

One of the things which I really liked about this product was that it glided on well, the formula itself is quite thin when applying almost watery yet still has thickness the gloss should have.  It is easy to build up as only applying one layer will give more of an opaque look. However, the quality which this gloss stain lacks is that it tends to disappears after a while maybe 2-3 hours.

The packaging of the product is also very similar to the YSL one, with slight different shape much more of a ‘rocket’ whereas the YSL is of a rectangular prism. The teardrop applicators are also very much alike. However I would say that the packaging of the L’Oreal gloss stain does look much more cheaper than the YSL one but since YSL is owned by L’Oreal, it makes sense that why they are extremely similar.

Difference between the L’Oreal and YSL gloss stain? Even though I do not own the YSL glossy stain, I have tried it previously in store and tend to find the L'Oreal stain gloss a little less pigmented and thinner in formula which requires an extra layer to achieve the same look as the YSL Glossy Stains. Leaving that aside I would say the L'Oreal Glam Shine Stain Splash are an excellent alternatives to the YSL Glossy Stains at a cheaper price. I mean who wouldn’t be happy to pay less for such a magnificent product?!
