L'Oreal Infallible Silkissime Eyeliners in Black, Plum, & Highlighter

 
The Infallible Silkissime liner ($7.99-$9.99 USD), it's the new eyeliner from L'Oreal. For me in the past, L'Oreal was my go to brand for all things eyeliner. Recently, it's mostly misses and money wasted on broken promises BUT these Silkissime is definitely a game changer!
 
Claims from L'Oreal website:
  • Glides like silk.
  • Soft like silk.
  • Up to 16 Hour Wear
Indulge your eyes in silk. Glide on smooth intensity with our first silk inspired liquid pencil. Introducing Silkissime by Infallible for 16-hours of intense color from dusk until dawn.
 
 
 
There are four available colors and I purchases 3: black, plum, and highlighter. Are these eyeliner silky and creamy? YES! I'm was very impressed how EASY they went on the eyes. Even though they are VERY creamy; they are nearly budge-proof on the TOP eyelid. On the WATERLINE, all three vary very differently! 16hour wear? Phptt! Not a chance, but nice try L'Oreal! The Black eyeliner I got 6 1/2 hours of wear before MAJOR smudging on the top and fading of the waterline. The Plum lasted about 4 hours on the waterline, and Highlighter shade was the shortest at about 1-2 hours before it COMPLETELY disappeared! If I had to recommend a shade, GO FOR BLACK! I compared it to the Urban Decay 24/7 Pencil in Perversion and they were nearly the SAME on staying power and intensity!





Highlighter, Plum, & Black

Overall, I do love these eyeliners! They may vary in the waterline, but if you are looking for some new eyeliners, I definitely recommend checking these guys out.

Tried the L'Oreal Infallible Silkissimes already? Loved it or hated it? Let me know!
Thanks always for reading!


Drink up, beauties!

L'Oreal Color Riche Extraordinaire Liquid Lipsticks - Molto Mauve, Caramel Solo, Scarlet Concerto, & Plum Adagio



L to R: Caramel Solo, Molto Mauve, Scarlet Concerto, & Plum Adagio
 
Hello people of the Internet! If you may or may not know, there is a new lip product from L'Oreal called (deep breath) the Color Riche Extraordinaire Liquid Lipsticks. I may be the only one, but I hate when L'Oreal gives their products these LONG names that people are NOT going to remember! Oh well, it's their product, and I have 4 shades I have swatched and want to talk to you all about, Molto Mauve 500, Caramel Solo 703, Scarlet Concerto 306, and Plum Adagio 502.
 
 
The L'Oreal Extraordinaire Liquid Lipsticks (~$9.99) is a product that L'Oreal claims has "rich color", "shines", and "smoothes" and I am here to give my two scents about what I have experienced with this product. Here are some other claims from the L'Oreal website.
 
'Transform lips from ordinary to extraordinary. Color is richer, lip surface is smoother and shine is magnified. Formulated with precious micro-oils and rich color pigments, Extraordinaire provides the ideal balance of color and care for perfect lips. The unique soft-touch applicator allows for a silky-smooth, gliding application'
 
So from all of this, I understand that this should be like a nutrient rich glossy lipstick, but from what I experienced with these shades is that this product is A LOT like the L'Oreal Colour Caresse Wet Shine Stains. They look the same on my lips, act the same, even SMELL the same, but for me, the Liquid Lipsticks were WAY better!
 
The Liquid Lipsticks WERE very hydrating and nourishing on my lips. I did not have to apply a lipbalm before application like with the Shine Stains. I got more uniform color payoff between the shades I chose and they are buildable. I just found that the Liquid Lipsticks took LONGER to set in between layers when building up the color.
 
Three of the four colors were VERY intense and gave good color opacity in one to two go around. Scarlet Concerto, the red, took about 3-4 layers for me to get the color that I was looking for. All the colors have tiny glitter particles in them. But I didn't notice them until I looked for me because after a few days of wearing these, my lips got a little sensitive. My lips ALWAYS seem to know when there is glitter of SOME kind because they will get IRRITATED =[
 
As far as durability on the lips, Caramel Solo did the best through a regular day of eating and drinking. I could still see the other 3 colors, but they faded quite a bit and mostly there was shimmer left. I also felt that these products get STICKY as the day goes on and they dry down a bit even though they were not DRYING on the lips.

Overall, I really like these! Good color selection and good color payoff. Have you seen these lip products in stores yet? Tried them? What are your thoughts? Let me know!

Thanks always for reading!

Drink up, Beauties!

L'Oreal Infallible 24Hour Eyeshadows in Purple Priority & Gilded Envy: Review + Swatches





So if you may or may not know, L'Oreal has launched from NEW shades to their 24Hr Infallible Eyeshadow line. There are six new shades and I have two colors I wanted to share with you.

The two colors I purchased are Purple Priority and Gilded Envy. Purple Priority is a metallic blue-purple. It looks almost indigo on my skintone and with certain makeup looks. I only have one other purple shade from L'Oreal and it is Smoldering Plum. Compared to Purple Priority, Smoldering is WAY darker and hardly any shimmer or glitter in it.
Gilded Envy is a VERY glittery light olive green. I guess since Priority hardly had any glitter, Gilded makes up for it TEN FOLD! I do not have Golden Sage which I thought would be a good comparison, but looking at the two shades in store, Golden Sage was a lot more muted and not as green as Gilded Envy.

In comparison to the other three Infallibles that I have, I found that the formulas of these two were WAY creamier. Purple Priority gave me more opaque color with fewer swipes compared to Gilded Envy which takes some time to build up. The lasting ability with a primer was comparable to the Infallibles in my collection already, BUT Gilded Envy seemed to struggle. Even with a primer, I found this shade STILL fading away after about 5-6 hours and leaving me with nothing but glitter to show that something was there.
