L'Oreal Infallible 24HR Eye Shadow in Sultry Smoke, Iced Latte, Midnight Blue -- swatches, pics, review

Hello, Beautiful!

I couldn't wait to find the L'Oreal Infallible 24HR Eye Shadows at my local Target. I found them a few weeks ago but haven't gotten around to posting about them until now. I originally only purchased one shade, Sultry Smoke, but after trying it out I went back to my local Target and picked up two more, Iced Latte and Midnight Blue.

This shadow has a unique texture; it's not a cream shadow, although that's what I first assumed it was. It actually feels rather soft and even a bit bouncy. Feels slightly dry but goes on smooth. Like I said, it's a bit of a unique texture and I like it. It's a hybrid of cream shadow and loose pigment.

L'Oreal Infallible 24HR Eye Shadow PRO's & CON's:

PRO's: Great shades to choose from; great pigmentation; goes on nice; unique texture

CON's: I think they are priced a dollar or so too high, especially with Maybelline's Color Tattoo 24HR Eyeshadows available for about $6 a piece and you get slightly more product.

My Rating: 5 out of 5 Kisses!

Formula:

These shadows are fantastic! The texture is very unique and they glide on with ease and blend easily too. Waterproof, fade and crease resistant, these shadows aren't going anywhere once they set!

Wear:

Very long wearing.  With "24HR" in the product name, they aren't just assuming; it's true. They will last all day, and then some!  

Coverage:

Great pigmentation; buildable.

Shade Info:

Currently available in 12 shades. I would love to own them all because they are really beautiful shades.

Cost/Availability:
$7.50 to $10.00 depending where you shop (0.12 oz full size). Available at Target, Wal-Mart, CVS, etc. Basically anywhere L'Oreal cosmetics are sold.


Packaging:

Square jar with round twist-off lid. There is a protective circular insert, which you'll want to replace after each use. I assume this circular insert has double-duty; to help the product from drying out and to press the shadows back down.

L'Oreal Infallible 24HR Eye Shadow Review:

I originally assumed these were cream shadows, but was surprised to find the texture very different from what I assumed it would be. The texture is soft, bouncy and smooth. As L'Oreal describes it, it's the best of a powder and cream. I would agree with that!

The color payoff is really nice. Sultry Smoke was the one shade that originally stood out to me, because I love grays, but I ended up lusted after Iced Latte and Midnight Blue as well. You can use these shadows on their own, with others, or even as a smokey liner.

I've seen other shades offered in different countries, including a silver gray toned one, and I'd love to see more shades come to the United States!

Overall, yes, I would recommend these shadows!!
