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.

    Glistening Garnet is gorgeous but probably won't look good on me XD Your swatches make me realise once again how big the Infallible collection is haha xxx

  3. Omg, this is awesome! You are like a virtual encyclopedia for these eye shadows. Awesome how you made a chart to differentiate the US/UK/OTHER versions. I'm in love with the greens!

  4. Pretty colors and extremely vibrant. I haven't tried infallable yet but they look great.

  5. This is fantastic! I've resisted the siren call of the Infallibles so far... But that might change because of your swatches!

    1. So I heard! I think there is definitely at least one or two different shades though. I don't think Strawberry Blonde or With A Twist has been released in other countries yet. I must try find some US friend to blackmail into helping me buy them so I can do a comparison.

    2. I finally found a display that hadn't been cleared out so I could pick up one each for myself. They seem to be verrrrry limited at least in my area (only two of each per display!), definitely hard to find, but if I find another display I can pick them up for you.

  10. This is the greatest master list. Ever. No seriously - you have HQ swatches, clear listing of names, and YOU HAVE A CHART COMPARING US/CAN/OTHER NAMES and which ones are available where. You, madam, are magnificent :DD
