L'Oreal Colour Infalible Eyeshadows

torek, december 24, 2013

I've had this post ready for months now. I was looking at some of my old posts, when I was making the post directory and have decided that I need to reswatch my beloved L'Oreal Colour Infalible eyeshadows. I have six in my collection and before I got the Naked Basics palette, some of these shades were my most used eyeshadows.
These have pressed pigment/cream eyeshadow hybrid type of texture that is very smooth and ultra pigmented. I don't like to apply them with brushes because it's difficult to get colour on them, but I always apply them with fingers like cream eyeshadow. I get maximum pigmentation with pretty much one swipe and then blend the edges with a fluffy brush. Due to their strong pigmentation, they work excellently as liners. The formula is very longlasting, the longest out the all the eyeshadows I tried, but these do crease if your eyelids are oily after several hours. Applied as a liner they can last all day on my lids. All of the shades I own are very shimmery and maybe that's my only little gripe since I'm more of a matte girl.

002 Hourglass Beige - super shimmery very light gold. A great inner corner highlighter or lid shade if you want a very shimmery  glamorous look.

021 Sahara Treasure - soft golden taupe. This was my most worn lid shade.

024 Bronze Goddess - golden olive. Gorgeous colour, I often wear it as a liner.

012 Endless Chocolat - warm chocolate brown. I adore this shade, again I wear it loads as a liner. It looks particularly good on the lower lashline with my eye colour. 

015 Flashback Silver - silver with a lavender hue. I wanted something silver, but this isn't really what I was looking for.

005 Purple Obsession - purple with blue and purple shimmer. I got this as a gift. Purple isn't really my colour, so I don't tend to wear it.
Several shades aren't sold any more and there are loads of new shades. I was shocked to discover that Endless Chocolat isn't available here anymore, but I managed to track it down on Fragrance Direct. These cost about 8 € in drugstores here, but they are cheaper online. Also the names of US, Canadian and European shades are different. Nunu compiled a very handy list of all the different names of the same shades here.

Happy holidays and merry Christmas!

    1. Vse sem kupila pri nas :). Samo je vprašanje koliko so jih zamenjal v tem času odkar sem jih kupila, ker je že dolgo nazaj.

  5. Čudovito izgledajo, razen da na 'mono' senčke veedno pozabim, ker je veliko lažje zagrabiti eno paletko...

  6. I don't understand why they change the names depending on the country. You just gave me the idea of wearing the blue one I have as a liner for today haha Happy Holidays!

  9. Bronze Goddess sem kupila po tvojem priporočilu in mi je zelo všeč. Sem jo ravno kupila, ko je bila v Müllerju akcija in sem dala 5 €, žal pa je bilo vse bolj na hitro in nisem imela časa preveriti še ostalih odtenkov. Na tvojih fotkah sta mi vijoličen in rjav tudi ukradla srce. :)

    1. Super :) Meni so ti zeleno-zlati odtenki eni izmed najljubših. Se mi pa zdi, da te rjave ni več pri nas, za vijolčnega pa ne vem :)

  10. Oh I'd really like to get the purple shade, since the range has been discontinued in Germany and I have green eyes. Let's see where I can still get one of these sweeties :-)
