Review: L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadows - a staple for busy mornings

I know I'm late in the game to review the L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadows, but they are hard to get a hold of here! These are not sold in Japan, so I bought a few when I was in New York last spring.  What a great product when you are rushing to head out the door!

Iced Latte is champagne color, which looks almost white on me because of the yellow undertones in my skin.

Gold Imperial was part of last summer's collection. It is a bright gold color, more glittery and more prone to fall out than the others.

Liquid Diamond is a gray color which leans towards lilac - it pairs amazingly well with purples. This also seems to have the best staying power of the 5 that I have.

Bronzed Taupe is a very dark brown and gives my eyes depth without being too dramatic.

Perpetual Purple is a rich eggplant color which I often use in the outer corner of my eye

Swatches from left: Iced Latte, Gold Imperial, Liquid Diamond, Bronzed Taupe, Perpetual Purple

Price: will vary, Target has them for $7

Pros:

• These are basically pressed pigments, and have the great pigmentation without the fallout.
• Most of the colors have fabulous pigmentation and can blend smoothly without effort
• Great staying power.  These are the only eyeshadows that last past 12 hours on me (with a primer)

Cons:

• The pigmentation and the smoothness of the product depends on the color. For example, Gold Imperial is significantly less pigmented than the others. Perpetual Purple is also harder for me to blend

Would I repurchase?  YES.  In fact, many of these are gifts from kind friends who know how much I loved the ones I bought in New York! I'm not going to start collecting them, but I love the neutral colors that I have!

Hope you enjoyed this review!
