Loreal Infallible Eye Shadow Swatches

So I seem to have acquired quite a few of the L'oreal Paris infallible eye shadows recently and I wanted so share my mini collection with swatches. Love all these shades and the shadows are so smooth and gorgeous. All I have are fairly metallic/shimmery except for continuous cocoa which is the most matte out of any that I own here. There is no glitter particles in these, but they have great light reflecting qualities. Another quality I love about these is how long they last. With a primer underneath they last on me all day. Of course if I skip the primer, only about an hour or two before they crease, however this is about standard for any shadow on me without primer as I have heavy lidded eye lids. Oh and forget to mention, but hoping you can tell from my picture below, the opaqueness of these is so undeniable. Each swatch is from me rubbing my finger in the pot and then swiping 1 time down my arm. So gorgeous, right!!!

From left to right; shades as follows:

iced latte, eternal sunshine, amber rush, liquid diamond, bronzed taupe, continuous cocoa

Lip of the day: MAC Viva Glam Nicki

Well hello there! Here are some lip pictures of me wearing the vibrant, yet pretty pink from MACs Viva Glam Nicki. The lipstick can still be purchased from MAC cosmetics yet this is a limited edition shade and is only available for one full year. Sorry I am no help on when the year ends, just know we are about half way through the year of promoting Nicki. I like the finish and texture of this lipstick. It is a bold pink and may need to be toned down if you want something more your lips but better. I could see wearing this for a fun night out on the town!

Lip of the Day: Revlon ColorBurst Coral

Looking to hop on the coral/red trend? This Revlon lipstick is sure to please both cool and warm-toned gals alike! It is a creamy shade with more than adequate opaqueness. Color description would be a true red-orange. Warm gals may appreciate this shade more and will look "red" on them where in contrast to my cool tones the orange warmth comes out a bit more on me.

Makeup Collection: Lip Swatches (Nude)

Well here is the final installment of my lip products which I currently have in my collection. Here are my "nude" lipsticks or sheer, almost skin-tone color shade at times hues of lipsticks and glosses.

Lip of the Day: CG Lip Perfection HOT

If you are familiar with the ads that came out promoting the Cover Girl Lip Perfection lipsticks then 1. Taylor Swift likely comes to mind and 2. this is the shade they promoted Taylor Swift wearing for the ad campaigns. This Hot shade is a gorgeous, living life bright red. Creamy and opaque this shade has no shimmer or any of that other frilliness. This is a red of an apple red that everyone dreams of finding. It does have a 1/20th of a pink shade to it which might be why its more wearable than other "reds" I've tried. Be warned if you don't want the lipstick to stain your lips because there is a 100% chance this shade will.

Makeup Collection: Lipstick Swatches (Nudey Pinks)

This collection of my lippies are a cross of being a muted pink to being a neutral mauve pink. Love these shades a lot. Sorry for the long line on this, I seemed to have a lot more of these types of shades than any of the the past colors posted.

ulta lipstick: 243 (sorry couldn't find a shade name)

Lip of the Day: CG Lip Perfection

Temptation, (not to be misconstrued with Temptress) is a orange lipstick and contains some faint gold shimmers throughout. I would say it has medium opaqueness making it a very layerable shade. Try it layered over pinky shades to give your lips a summer golden goddess vibe!

Makeup Collection: Lipstick Swatches (PINK!)

This is a start to my "pinks" these shades are for the most part the brighter/bolder pinks in my collection, although by the picture is doesn't appear that way. This is definitely why I will be doing all my lippies as lip of the days, but again just an overall scheme of them all one by one.

clinique lip gloss: clearly pink
elf mineral lip gloss: pageant princess
mac lipstick: lazy day
mac lipstick: viva glam nikki
cover girl lip perfection: temptress
cover girl lip perfection: delight
revlon super lustrous matte lipstick: pink pout
revlon super lustrous lipstick: pink in the afternoon
rimmel lasting finishing lipstick: pink blush
revlon color burst lipstick: carnation

Makeup Collection: Lipstick Swatches (Orange/Coral)

Here is another collection section of my lippies this time in the coral/orange range. Enjoy!

inglot lipstick: 106
revlon colorburst lipgloss: rose gold
cover girl lip perfection: kiss
cover girl lip perfection: rapture
revon super lustrous: siren
cover girl lip perfection: temptation
revlon color burst lipstick: coral

Lip of the Day: CG Lip Perfection Delight

Delight is a pretty creamy mid toned pink that enhances a natural lipcolor. Mid opaqueness with a slight tint of "neutral" than Tempress to give you a more wearable everyday pink.

Makeup Collection: Lipstick Swatches (Violet-Purple)

Hello my lovelies, I hope you enjoy these swatches and let me know if there is a certain shade you want me to do review on. Here are my lipsticks and glosses ranging with a purple hue...

revlon super lustrous: prim rose (ah! love this color!!!)
cover girl lip perfection: dazzle
reflect cosmetics custom lipgloss. sorry I don't know why I included this other than it is apart of my collection. reflect cosmetics is no longer in business :(
tarte lip surgence lip stain: flashy
reflect cosmetics custom lipgloss. another. I know this is so bad on the sharing part
revlon just bitten lips stain: desire
revlon super lustrous lipgloss: lilac pastel
cover girl lip perfection: devine
revlon color burst lipstick: lilac

Lip of the Day: CG Lip Perfection Tempt

Tempt is another bold in your face almost dark red shade. This one is slightly more deep berry than actually red, but a bold and beautiful shade of red nonetheless.

Lip of the Day: CG Lip Perfection Rush + Temptress

So as you can tell I wasn't a super fan of Rush and thought hey this would be a good color to combine with the overly bright pink "Temptress," I have to say the effect is a nice creamy mid-tone neutral pink. What do you think of this lip pairing?

Lip of the Day: CG Lip Perfection Rush

For the warm toned ladies this may be the nude you have been looking for. Rush is a medium tone brown that leans toward terra-cotta. This has a creamy finish and wears well.

Makeup Collection: Lipstick Swatches (Reds)

  So in an attempt to swatch my collection, I though I would start with all of my current lip products sorted by shade range. I hope this is helpful and gives you a little insight on some "comparisons" that may exist. I did my best to arrange the lippies next to one another that were similar, however when it came to actual swatching, I wasn't always correct. I hope to do individual lip of the days on all my lippies: in due time of course :)

 From left to right with the swatches corresponding with the lip tube:

maybelline color sensational: red revival
cover girl lip perfection: flame
cover girl lip perfection: hot
revlon colorburst lip butter: candy apple
avon lipstick: rose c
cover girl lip perfection: tempt
stila lip stain: rouge
tarte lip surgence natural lip stain: dazzled
tarte lip surgence naturral lip stain: swank

Lip of the Day: CG Lip Perfection Romance

Oh the lip of the day. The name sounds so fun and flirty and I will have to admit that this is not a favorite shade of mine. The color is quite unique with tones of brown, mauve and purple all wrapped in the iridescence of this shade. Now maybe it is because I am quite pale, or maybe the shade just doesn't flatter my skintone, whichever this is you will need a lot of confidence or an outfit that is in the need of a brown shade. This lipstick has a frosty/iridescence finish to it.

Lip of the Day: CG Lip Perfection Flame

Hello bold red lips! Flame is a red hot red. This is a nice cream, opaque with no shimmer or iridescence. The color is bold and long-lasting. This one will stain your lips! I would say its a nice just bitten red cherry red to the lips.

Lip of the Day: CG Lip Perfection Rapture

If you're looking for a shimmery/frost with coral peach tones, then rapture is the shade for you. Frost lovers will enjoy this lovely color, however the frost does have its drawbacks as it draws attention to any flakes. The color is quite beautiful though as a pretty pink/peach light coral shade.

Lip of the Day: CG Lip Perfection Darling

Darling is a gorgeous pink shade with just a hint of purple to it. It is a lot like Cover Girl's lip perfection lipstick in Heavenly. However Heavenly is more of a neutral pink, where Darling has cooler tones associated with it. This shade also has ever so slight hint of a sheen to it, whereas Heavenly was strictly a cream.

Lip of the Day: CG Lip Perfection Dazzle

Dazzle, dazzle! Is such a shade as this contains a sparkle iridescence throughout the lipstick. This shade is more of a medium toned pink with hints of mauve throughout.
