L’Oreal Be Determined Brilliant Signature Shiny Lip Stain ($11.99 for 0.21 oz.) is a medium beige with subtle, warm undertones initially, but it had a orange-red stain that came through as it “set,” which resulted in an uneven, milky top coat effect.

The formula is supposed to have “bold color impact” with a “glossy, high-shine finish” and has the “lasting wear” of a lip stain. When they’re good, they’re good: pigmented, high-gloss, and comfortable to wear without being too tacky and not prone to feathering.
It was very similar to YSL’s Glossy Stains, and I had similar issues applying some of the lighter shades in the YSL range as I did in this one. One of the issues was that the staining power of the formula itself really interfered with the lighter pigments, which resulted in an uneven look–like I applied a milky gloss over a lip stain.
They had a smooth, lightweight consistency that was spreadable as it was thin and more watery initially, and as it “set,” it developed a thicker, almost gel-like feel that was still lightweight and comfortable to wear but had light tackiness, which helped to keep it in place over time.
These left strong, reddish stains behind (they didn’t vary much, just warmer/cooler takes on red) after they wore off, which was around five to six hours overall.
They had a powdery, floral scent but no discernible taste.

L’Oreal Be Uncontrollable Brilliant Signature Shiny Lip Stain ($11.99 for 0.21 oz.) is a muted, medium orange with warm, peachy undertones and a glossy, cream finish. Unfortunately, it had a darker, orange-red stain that came through, which made the original color look more uneven and splotchy.
