I LOVE THIS. I am amazed by the finish and how satiny it looks, if you pack on more it lends a metallic look which is great too! I only use Bronzed Taupe all over my lids and blend a bit of matte brown into the crease and BAM 5 minute brown smokey eyes. It is a lifesaver to look effortlessly chic! I'll be buying more (all) haha
Best Drugstore Eyeshadow
Want a drugstore eyeshadow that would make your department store eyeshadow want to run away from your makeup bag? L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow is the brand. The formula is that magic area between cream and powder, making precision color application easy. It's very soft on the brush and can be very easy to over apply. A little goes a long way, and L'Oreal packed a lot of shadow in the container, making the $10 price tag worth the money.
I usually apply my eyeshadow dry with no primer/foundation for it to stick to. I got a beautiful 8 hour wear, only at the end of the night (hour 14ish) did I notice some creasing. I had to really look up close (the mirror about 3 inches from my face) to find them.
My favorite color from the permanent collection is Bronzed Taupe. It's one of those colors you can use any day of the week for any occasion. That little hit of sparkle comes out at night. If you see limited edition colors in your local drugstore, grab the ones you want ASAP! Blinged and Brilliant, from the current holiday collection, is a peachy eyeshadow with a LOT of shimmer. It's like copper on your eyelids. Imperial Gold, also from the current holiday collection, is bright sparkling gold. Perfect to highlight your tear duct or your brows.
I'm a sucker for neat packaging and when I saw this at Walmart, it sort of reminded me of a sun dial. All that aside, I had no clue whether they were a cream or powder, pressed or loose. When I opened it up, I did my obligatory finger test to see it's pigmentation, and boy, was I happy! It was extremely pigmented and its consistency was creamy which was perfect for me because I love cream shadows, especially as an all over the lid color. This particular shade is perfect for both day and night. I really want to try the rest of the shades!
Amazing shimmery goodness!
These are really lovely. The texture feels more like cream eyeshadow but you can apply it like you would a regular powder eyeshadow. Feel free though to you you hand to smudge these onto the eyelid. The pigmentation of these colours are great and a little goes a long way. I dont get any creasing and the colour looks vibrant at the end of my 8 hour day. Even though I love the coloured shades, Bronzed Taupe is my favourite! The only downside I saw was a small amount of fallout. http://chinadolltt.blogspot.com/2012/05/shimmery-goodness-with-loreal.htm
