L’Oreal Paris’ La Couleur Infallible eyeshadows are Holy-Grail status type of shadows in my books. It took me a while to finally try them, and I’m kicking myself for not trying them sooner.
With 11 colours available (or are there more now?), there is something for everyone. What I love is that what you see in the pan is what you get. The texture is a cross between cream and powder, and super soft to the touch. This is to me similar to its higher end cousin, the Armani Eyes to Kill, which is suitable since the parent companies are one and the same.
The shadows are described as long-wearing, crease-resistant and smudge resistant — and it’s true. When applying, the product does set quite quickly so you do need to work fast. Once it is on, it does not budge. My only gripe is that the shadows are bit sparkly and frosty — a look I have to be careful about. 
In terms of packaging, the colour you see through the container is actually the bottom of the pan. To get at the product, you have to flip the container over, unscrew the lid and remove the black stopper which keeps the shadow in place.
I tested out 9 of the 11 shades available. The ones I’m showing above are my favorites:
Hourglass BeigeTime Resist White.Forever PinkFlashback SilverPermanent KakiIn the swatch the Hourglass Beige and Time Resist White look very similar. They are but Hourglass Beige has a bit more golden undertones. Both are wonderful as highlights. Forever pink and Flashback Silver both look great as a wash of colour on the lids, while Permanent Kaki looks amazing as a smokey eye.
Overall, these get an A-plus from me, and I’m intrigued to see what other colours, and hopefully textures, are added to the collection.
Have you tried these shadows?
