It's that awesome time of year where new products are starting to drop into the aisles of the drugstore, and L'Oreal is leading the pack with so many new launches, it's hard to keep up.
I've been trying out a few things over the last few weeks, and I thought I'd share my thoughts so far with you today!
L'Oreal Infallible Sculpt Contouring Base Foundation: Billed as 'half the weight of normal foundation' , this foundation supposedly creates the perfect flawless base for contour. The product has a slight serum feel to it and definitely sits on the dewy side of things. Weirdly, this foundation only comes in two shades, I picked up the lightest shade and it's almost too dark for me, so it's worth noting that these shades run darker than they look in the bottle. All that being said, I actually quite like this, it's got good coverage and it looks natural on the skin. It doesn't feel heavy at all, and it lasts well throughout the day. It's pot luck as to if one of the shades will work for you, but if it does, it's a great base.
L'Oreal Infallible Sculpt Contouring Palette: I did not expect to like this product, but I was actually pleasantly surprised. This cream highlight and contour duo comes in inexplicably large packaging, in two shades. I went for the lightest shade being of a ghostly complexion and all, and I'm really impressed with the contour shade. It's ashy enough to look sculpting, but the cream fomula blends nicely into foundation to create a very natural looking shadow. It's basically impossible to go over the top with the shade, it just looks super natural. The highlight shade though, I really can't get to show up on my skin, perhaps I'm too pale? Worth the money just for the contour shade however.
L'Oreal Infallible Blush Trio in Soft Rosy: I'm always on the look out for a new drugstore blush that ticks the boxes so I was excited to try this out. I love the idea of being able to use the three shades separately, or swirl together for a different look, but I found these a little on the shimmery side for me. If you're looking for something really brightening this is great, but I found that the glitter particles emphasised my pores. Skip this one, you won't be missing anything.
L'Oreal Infallible Matte Max Lip Colour in 04 Oops I Pink It Again and 01 Silencio: These are perhaps the most unique launch of the season, lip colours that are more like eyeshadows with a sponge applicator than your traditional lipstick. I actually am really impressed with these, the matte formula is incredibly longwearing - acting as more of a lip stain than lip colour, but not at all drying. The sponge tip applicator makes it easy to get a precise line, even around the cupids bow. These easily wear for six hours on me, and I love the colours.
Will you be trying any of L'Oreal's new products?
