L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow master swatch list

I have received a number of requests from readers to do a master swatch list of all the L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadows in my collection, in other words, "put all your damn swatches on the same post instead of spread all over the place you nut".
In any event, here it is, I've even grouped all the similar colours together for everyone's ease of reference. Don't say I never give in to your whining.

18/05/2013 Edit: I have added my own swatches of the Color Infallible eyeshadows released with the new Miss Candy collection HERE.

From left:
Burning Black; Naughty Strawberry; Glistening Garnet;  Purple Obsession and Golden Mahogany

From left:
Magnetic Coral; and Pepsi Coral

From left:
Time Resist White; Hourglass Beige; Sahara Treasure; Eternal Sunshine; and Goldmine.

From left:
Permanent Khaki; Golden Emerald; Innocent Turquoise; and Endless Sea

From left:
Sassy Marshmallow; Flashback Silver; Metallic Lilac; Armani Eyes To Kill in 04 Noka; and Chanel Illusion D'Ombre in Illusoire

From left:
Tender Caramel; Amber Rush; Bronze Taupe; Endless Chocolat; and Continuous Cocoa.

From left:
Bronze Goddess; Comic Black; and All Night Blue.

If you're wondering why some of these names appear unfamiliar to you, it is because L'Oreal decided to release identical colours under different names in different countries for some inconceivable reason. I made this table back in May of last year listing all the various names. Know that each time you steal this table without linking back to this blog, a kitten haz a sad.
p.s: I slap a "LE" next to the shade if I don't see it listed in L'Oreal website for that country.
p.p.s: I subsequently gave up doing the above for the UK/EU/Other country column because it got too complicated.

Lise Watier Pastel Power Spring 2013 Collection - swatches and review

Hellooooo lovelies! Happy New Year!!!
Did everyone have a good holiday season? Ours involved family, friends, turducken, fireball whisky and Backstreet Boys karaoke.
Anyway, now that all the festivities are over, it means Spring will be here soon right? So let's talk about some Spring collections! Back in November of last year (yes I am THAT behind!), Lise Watier previewed their Spring 2013 collection amid fois gras filled macarons and berry mousse served in lipstick tubes.

The collection is titled Pastel Power, and is said to be inspired by the elegance and pureness of small flowers reminiscent of Spring. I love the look that was created for this collection, it's not the traditional sweet pastel look as the eyes remain quite strong, also I am a total sucker for teal eyes and lightly flushed cheeks! I was told that the look was achieved with the Quatuor Pastel Power Eyeshadow Quartet and the Pink Powder blush.

Quatuor Pastel Power Eyeshadow Quartet

CAN$36 Limited Edition.

If you've ever had to work with pastel eyeshadows before, you'll know how much of a pain they can be. The ones I've encountered have all had weird chalky textures and poor pigmentation, this quad proves that pastel eyeshadow needn't have any of those bad qualities! Lise Watier have somehow managed to create pastel eyeshadows that have a smooth buttery texture and excellent colour pay off, all the while retaining that ethereal dream-like quality of pastels. The texture of this quad felt very similar to the Les Cognacs quad that was released with the Millesime collection, and like that quad, this one can also be used wet or dry. 

I also like how the shadows all have a slight pearlescent/shimmery finish which makes them easier to wear than a flat matte pastel. Lasting time is a solid 8-9 hours with primer.

Pink Powder Blush
CAN$30. Limited Edition.
This is the most beautiful blush I have seen in a really really long time (possibly ever!) and is, in my opinion, the star item of this collection. The embossing is absolutely gorgeous and, as far as I can tell, the sakura blossom pattern goes all the way through. I've been using mine almost non-stop since I've received it and the embossing is still very apparent.
The blush itself consists of a matte, mid-tone, blue pink base with light, beigey-pink flowers that act as a highlighter. The flowers have a gold pearl/shimmer finish that gives the blush a lovely glow when swirled together but does not enhance pores
Texture is smooth and very finely milled. I use a fluffier brush as it is quite heavily pigmented, intensity can be built by layering. Lasting time is around 6-7 hours.
Even if you get nothing else from this collection, get this blush! It is beautiful to look at and the colour is universally flattering.

Rouge Plumpissimo Lipstick in Corail Punch
CAN$21. New shade.
I am SO glad that Lise Watier has finally ditched that awful liquorice scent from their Rouge Plumpissimo line, instead, they now share the same cake-like scent as their Rouge Gourmand line.
This lipstick has a frost finish which is not the most flattering finish around as it emphasises lip lines and dry lips like crazy. Texture is smooth and applies easily. I felt the formula was slightly drying on my lips. Wear time is around 3 hours without any intense drinking or eating.
If this had a creme or satin finish I would probably like it more but as it is that last photo just makes me want to scrub my lips with a Brillo pad.

Eye Shine liner in Vert Sarcelle
CAN$19. New shade.
I am a HUGE fan of the Black Gold Eye Shine that was released with Lise Watier's Glamour Rose holiday collection so I was thrilled to find out that a new shade would be released with this Spring collection. Vert Sarcelle, like its name implies, is a blackened teal with a slight metallic sheen. The formula is smooth and applies without any tugging. Colour is rich and it lasts all day on my waterline without any smudging.
The colour isn't as exciting as Black Gold and I can't help but wish they'd included a bit more oomph (gold or teal flecks maybe?) but nonetheless a good quality teal pencil is hard to find and so this a welcome addition to my collection.

Nail Lacquer in Power Punch
CAN$13 Limited Edition.
A new, limited edition, shade in Lise Watier's innovative light cap bottle. Cream finish and lasts about 3-4 days on me. Kind of a boring colour imho but if you are into conservative, easy to wear nail colours then this one is quite pretty. I just personally need fireworks when it comes to my nails.

The collection will be available for purchase in February 2013 online at www.lisewatier.com and at select Shoppers Drug Mart and London Drugs.
