Drugstore Score: L'Oreal Colour Riche le Gloss

by Jenny

Did you know that L'Oreal owns Lancome? I just learned this recently. There's a fair amount of speculation that their products are virtually the same, with the Lancome products being (roughly) three times the price of the L'Oreal products. With this new-found knowledge in hand, I browsed around the L'Oreal section of my local drugstore recently. I picked up the L'Oreal Color Riche le Gloss in Saucy Mauve on a whim.

Turns out, it's kind of awesome! The color is perfect--it has just enough shimmer that I can wear it during the day, but not look like I'm heading out to "the club." I came home to research it and learned that it's essentially the same product as the Lancome Juicy Tubes. I paid less than $6 for mine, while the Lancome counterpart is $18. 

Do you have any favorite drugstore brands that are just as good (if not better) than the department store brands?
