L'Oreal Infallible Liquid Eyeshadow Paints Review: Cool Ivory

Good morning! I picked this up from CVS yesterday, for $8.00, for about 7 g of product. 

I really like (not love) the L'Oreal Infallible line. I own the setting spray, and the pro-matte foundation, as well as my all-time favorites- the Infallible 24-Hour Shadow. 

In the store, this was the last one of the shade Cool Ivory, a dual shimmer of white and light gold. I stayed away from the mattes because I was a bit hesitant on the effect of liquid mattes- and the fact that I have more powder matte shades than I know what to do with.

I could probably say the same about shimmer shadows too, but I really like the idea of swiping on a lid shade and being done. It also makes me think of an easy cut-crease look. 

After swatching the two, it is clear that they are not the same quality. The gold one (right) is far more opaque, while the white is a lot runnier. 

When blended out in the above picture, you can see how the gold remains, but the white sheers out a little.

For the eye look below, I tried to do my normal look of white shimmer on the inner corner of my eye, and gold all over the lid. For the white, this failed a bit because it sheered out immediately, leaving behind some sparse shimmer. I had much more success with the gold, and added a pinky-purple matte in the crease.

You can see the high-shine of the gold, which is really impressive. You can also see some remnants of the white on the inner corner, not of the same opacity and sheen as the gold. It does last a long time. The applicator does dispense a lot of product, and makes control somewhat difficult. I blended it out with both a finger and brush with no issues. Using the applicator by itself was a little tricky.

I'll continue to use the gold side of this duo, but not the white shimmer.

Overall I would give this product a ⭐⭐⭐1/2 out of 5 stars.
