Review: L.O.V. - Eyeliner, Kohl, Brow Gel Serum and Blush

I've accumulated a few L.O.V. products and since I like all of them, I decided to do a group review. I'll try to be to the point here. They all work nice and I'm so sad that this brand is no longer available in Slovenia. Hopefully, DM picks up on it, if Müller decided to ditch it. Most of these I got on sale as they were 50% off because they were being discontinued.



L.O.V. RoyaLINER Eyeliner Pen - 120 Brown Elegance

Packaging

Typical pen liner that comes in silver chrome packaging. It has a good closing like Korean pen liners. Applicator is a brush which I prefer over a felt tip, because it gives you better precision. It's always nicely saturated and I've never had a problem with it being too dry. I've swatched the black one and it looked dried up and not as saturated, so instead I took brown version which performed a lot better.

In it is 0.55 ml of product and the regular price was 7.99€, but I got it for 3.99€.



Colors

120 Brown Elegance is dark cool brown. It's so dark that if you apply more layers on the lid, it actually looks almost black. They also have a grey and black shade in this range. 

Comparison

Beauty People 365 Stay Waterproof Brush Pen Eyeliner - this one is all dried up, so I had trouble swatching it. It's the most vibrant brown out of all of these and almost has a hint of red in it.
Clio Kill Brown Waterproof Brush Liner - this is one of my favorite browns and it's much lighter and a lot warmer than L.O.V. It comes off as more of a proper brown.
L.O.V. RoyaLINER Eyeliner Pen 120 Brown Elegance - the darkest brown and also the most cool toned.


Formula

Texture of it has a nice glide and it's not thick nor too liquid. Dry down is very quick. Pigmentation is a bit sheerer, but you can build it up to a very intense opaque look. Sometimes it doesn't want to adhere to those areas that are watery, but other than that it actually works really nice. 

Performance

Once it dries, it doesn't move at all. It also doesn't smudge or crumble off. In general it lasts on my eyes all day



L.O.V. Confessioneyes Kohl Pencil - 120 Veil of Nude

Packaging

This is a regular pen type of kohl pencil. It has black design with a nude top and bottom to indicate shade inside. It's the longest pencil I have seen in a drugstore and there's definitely more product in it than in most pencils. 

In it is 1.59 grams of product and the price was 3.49€, but I got it for 1.74€.



Colors

120 Veil of Nude is warm peach toned pastel nude. It has a lot of white base to it which makes it very opaque looking, but it also has peach tint to it which I like. I feel like it matches well with my skin tone and definitely makes my eyes look much brighter and opened up. You can also get it in black, brown and taupe.

Formula

Formula is soft which makes it so easy to apply on the waterline. Less tugging on the eyes means ultra comfortable wear. I usually don't wear pencils on the waterline, because they can be irritating, but not this one. I have actually been wearing it a lot.

Performance

It stays on my waterline for the whole day, but I have naturally drier eyes which you should keep in mind when deciding. I don't see it fading or rubbing off at all. 



L.O.V. BROWttitude Brow Gel Serum - 100 All-round Temptation

Packaging

I believe that this product was already discontinued, so I won't dwell on it. It says on the packaging that it's a brow gel serum, so something that should also nourish your brows while making them stay in place. 

In it is 7 ml of product and I got it for 3.45€, but I believe this was discontinued price



Colors

100 All-round Temptation is essentially a transparent gel that is just slightly white tinted. It can sometimes look a bit white on the brows, but you can get rid of that by just lightly tapping over those areas and it turns into nothing. I believe it was also available in colored versions.

Formula

I got it as one of those regular transparent brow gels to brush it through them and give them some shape. It works good for that, but doesn't have especially good hold. But it's nice to use it to brush through at the end to make the brows look more polished. 



L.O.V. HEARTful Healthy Glow Blush - 041 Radiant Rosewood

Packaging

Last but not least, is probably my favorite product from L.O.V. It's a blush that comes in a small black compact that is so nice to travel with. I like a bit smaller packaging for blushes. It closes securely and even has small mirror on the inside which I don't really use, but you definitely could. It also has embossed L.O.V. on the product.

In it is 5 grams of product and the regular price is 6.99€ but I once found it on sale in Austria for 3.45€. It is a part of their regular range and you can still find it on their stand.

 


Colors

041 Radiant Rosewood is what I would describe as deepened peach. It has that terracotta redish burnt orange base to it, but in general I would still say that this is a peach color, just much deeper than the usual blush colors. It has small shimmer in it which gives it lovely golden peach pink sheen that is noticeable on the skin as the light hits your angles. It gives you that natural glow, no shimmer chunks. I really like that effect that it has on the skin.

They have 6 shades in total to choose from. Some pinks, purples, corals, peaches and more. 


Comparison

I actually realized why I love this shade so much and it's because it's very similar to one of my all time favorite blush shades by Deborah, which is very old and I'm kind of hesitant to use it, even though it still looks fine.

Deborah Milano Blusher 24 Rame - it's the closes in tone and the sheen that it has, but it's more of a proper orange terracotta blush. It has that deep brownish orange color and small shimmer going through it.
Milani Baked Powder Blush Luminoso - a lighter and more of a peachy shade that also has a lot of orange base to it. It has small shimmer in it that give it golden glow.
Wet n Wild Coloricon Blush Apri-Cot in the Middle - this one has the most intense glow to it that gives it almost a highlighter golden vibe. The base is also peachy with just a tad of muddy feel to it. It's lighter than L.O.V. shade and more orange based.
L.O.V. HEARTful Healthy Glow Blush 041 Radiant Rosewood - compared to others it's the darkest in shade and has just slightly more of a burnished terracotta base to it, but in general it's deepened peach.

Formula

It has slightly wetter formula that has good pigmentation, but the blush in general is a bit sheerer which makes it look so natural on the skin. The more you build it up, the darker and more opaque it starts to look.

Performance

I find it to be fairly well lasting on the cheeks, although it definitely fades a bit through the day. It applies evenly and you don't need to apply much of it, because a few light strokes do the job. 





I have nothing bad to say about any of these products. My absolute favorite is the blush, because I love the shade so much. It's perfect deeper burnished peach and the sheen that it has on the skin looks so pretty. They've recently added new mosaic blushes in their range and I so want one, but I have so many of blushes that I can't justify the price.

Nude kohl is one of those surprises that works so good on the waterline. I love the fact that it doesn't irritate my eyes and you get a lot more product than usual. Definitely worth picking up. Eyeliner is another surprisingly good product. Tip is always well saturated and the pen version makes it so easy to apply. It also lasts well on the eyes, although the black version in store didn't look so promising. That is why I only recommend the brown version. Brow gel serum is ok, but it's nothing special. I just got it, because it was cheap, although those transparent gels from Essence and Catrice work just as fine.
