NEW IN : L'Oréal Paris Makeup Designer Infallible Le Rouge, Lip Liner, Makeup Brushes Review and Demo

Sponsored

As we usher into the third quarter of the year (wow, how time passes!),  L'Oréal Paris Singapore introduces their latest makeup additions and completes the ever-popular Infallible range with their Infallible Le Rouge and Infallible Never Fail Lip Liner.

There are 10 shades in Infallible Le Rouge range, covering from bold pinks, everyday nudes to bright reds/oranges, with matching lip liners - 6 shades of Infallible Never Fail Lip Liner.

Infallible Le Rouge (S$23.90)

10-hour long-wearing & moisturising lipsticks formulated with Vitamin E, and claims to stay on lips after meals. Lipstick application finishes with a satin creamy sheen, and dries up to semi-matte  finish after colour sets on the lips. So yep, this is unlike their previous launches which were mattes.

The star shade of Infallible Le Rouge is #212 Rambling Rose - a vibrant pinkish-red with neutral undertones, universally flattering colour for most skin tones. Matching lip liner in Rose.

Infallible 6 Hour Never Fail Lip Liner (S$14.90)

At last, a reputable drugstore beauty brand comes up with good quality lip liners attached with in-built sharpener! Boasting of 6 wearable shades and here's the recommended shade chart for their complementary Infallible Lip colours:

BROWN - 737

ROSE - 212, 519.

NUDE - 423

RED/WINE - 337

MAUVE - 741

PLUM (Available in July) - 712

MY THOUGHTS

Intrigued with the gorgeous lip liner shades, I was further impressed by how creamy and smooth the Infallible Lip Liners are. Colors are beautiful enough on its own & non-drying to use alone as a lipstick. Depending on individual's level of creativity, these liners can also be mixed with lipsticks to create ombre lips or to achieve your own unique lip colour. 

With a lip liner, it's so much easier to manipulate your lips to produce a fuller or thinner effect, and of course change up the shape of your lips a little if you know how! (View helpful video tutorials on L'Oréal Paris Singapore YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTZ6tVq0OLk )

On the other end of the spectrum, I wished I could like Infallible Le Rouge the same way I adore the lip liners. Their claims of 10-hour longevity and "non-transferablity" needs to be looked into. Most of the Infallible Le Rouge colours wore off  from my lips after a meal, BUT the lip liners in the darker shades stayed on much better! One positive thing about Le Rouge is, the variety of shades did not disappoint as usual - I love vibrant, flattering and happy shades and L'Oréal Paris Makeup Designer excels at producing such; and for this particular range, the creamy lipsticks feels hydrating to wear throughout the day.

Makeup Designer Tools

L'Oréal Paris Makeup Designer also launches their range of makeup brushes in Singapore this month.

A collection of 8 brushes made from synthetic hair (Yay! Cruelty-free!) - this collection completes your entire makeup regime, covering from base makeup to eye and lip makeup: 

Foundation Brush (S$24.90)

Kabuki Brush (S$32.90)

Blender Brush (S$17.90)

Powder Brush (S$21.90)

Blush Brush (S$16.90)

Duo-Ended Sculpting Brush (S$29.90)

Lip Brush (S$14.90)

Eyeshadow Brush (S$13.90)

It's not hard to tell that my favourite among the lot is the Duo-Ended Sculpting Brush!

MY THOUGHTS

Shopping for affordable and high-quality synthetic makeup brushes can be a chore sometimes. Currently, there seems to be a limited offering of good synthetic brushes in the beauty market. Many luxury, high-end brushes are made from animal hair; so to find high-performing brushes which do not compromise your personal values is somewhat a refreshing notion. :)

L'Oréal Paris Makeup Designer brushes feel super soft on the skin, yet they are crafted with hairs dense enough to pick up powders and deliver smoothly onto skin. The sizes & shapes of the brushes fit facial contours perfectly, making them effortless to use! On an everyday basis, I find myself neglecting my high end synthetic brushes for these (honestly and surprisingly). Haha!

Faithy's Recommendation: Don't miss the retractable Lip Brush and Duo-Ended Sculpting Brush!

Both brushes make darling travelling companions; major score for the sculpting brush which can double up as a foundation brush on one end!

Other  L'Oréal Paris Makeup Designer products : For the brows and eyes

These are not totally new launches, only shade extensions.

Brow Artist Designer Pro - Burgundy Brown and Caramel Amber

Super Liner Super Star Duo Designer- Gold and Silver

*Also featuring Brow Artist Designer in my photo below

The 3-way brow pencil includes a retractable pencil tip, powder applicator and spool brush. I believe the Japanese were the ones who first came up with this 3-way technology, and I am so glad L'Oréal Paris is one step ahead of the Japanese brands in terms of the brow powder's pigmentation. 

Shade extensions are available in Singapore from July 2017.

1st Impresions: L'Oreal True Match Cushion and Color Riche Paris Fashion Week Moist Matte Lipsticks

Sponsored

Inspired by the runway of Paris Fashion Week, L’Oréal Makeup Designer takes another notch up with the latest 4 new makeup additions: 

1. True Match Blur Cream
2. True Match Cushion
3. Lucent Magique Mono Blush
4. Color Riche Paris Fashion Week Moist Matte Lipstick

These four products are conveniently packaged in exquisite packaging, and this makes them super travel-friendly. I adore all of them but I am only going to talk more about my number one & two passion - cushion and lipsticks. :)

*Above pic shows how these products reached me in a press kit form (not available for sale in a set though.)

True Match Cushion (SPF 33 PA+++) SGD30.90

Available in 3 shades. Mine is N1 Nude Ivory

Housed in a reflective silver & white case, the exterior doubles up as the second mirror. This cushion feels so compact and handy, I literally take it everywhere I go for easy touch ups and quickly realised touchups are not necessary.

Coverage

In my opinion, this cushion beats all other drugstore cushion on the market now in terms of coverage. Ultra-high in coverage, you can skip concealer unless you have absolutely dark scarring. It can also disguise huge pore size in a few quick taps.

Finish

Matte, but not flat at all. The cushion foundation dries up to a satin finish and you can instantly see how three dimensional your skin looks! It's amazing how matte the finish feels, yet your face appears to be so smooth & plumped it's as if you had some dermal fillers injected. Haha! Best thing yet? No tackiness, stickiness whatsoever and no setting powder needed even for oily skin. Talk about real travel-convenience. 

Lasting Power

It markets itself to last 14 hours. I didn't have the chance to test that out myself - I never needed to leave on my makeup for that long (thank God.) However after 8 hours, makeup looks fresh as before and no touch ups were necessary at all!

No edit, no filter, no concealer, no setting powder, no other makeup except lip balm

Color Riche Paris Fashion Week Moist Matte Lipsticks SGD21.80

Four new matte shades. 

Initially, le silly me kinda mistaken these as an extension to Rouge Magique line as they were mattes as well. But later on I realised they are from another range holding up on its own. Different formulation from Rouge Magique, Color Riche is formulated with Light Illumi™ complex, velvet fusion powder and pure pigments.

They feel extremely smooth & glide on like no other. Pay attention to the contour of the lipstick tip - can you see it is designed with a slight dent (refer pic above)? Makes the product looks classy and application, a dream.

My favourite shade in 232 Beige Couture

Their shades are very wearable except for the purple shade, which may not suit everyone's palettes.

On a personal level, Rouge Magique has already reached my HG level in the category of beautiful matte lippies, so this Color Riche range appeals less to me. Moreover, I didn't like how my lips started peeling after a day's wear.

The new L’Oréal Makeup Designer launches will be available at Singapore Watsons, Guardian, SASA, major supermarkets and selected departmental stores from May 2017.

L'Oréal  Paris Singapore launches NEW lipsticks again! 

We still haven't quite gotten over the stunning 24K Gold lipsticks last December; yet L'Oréal outdid themselves this time - enticing us with a set of matte lipsticks consisting of 20 shades that are rather unique and unlike most drugstore lip colours.  

Fun Fact: Singapore is the first country to be introduced to their FULL collection of 20 shades this March 2017!

 L'Oréal Rouge Magique

(SGD19.90 each)

 

Enriched with nourishing oils, pure matte pigments and hydrating honey, the ultra-gliding L'Oréal Rouge Magique delivers intense matte colours onto the lips. Housed in chic metallic pink & matte black cases, these lippies are designed to capture the heart of every lipstick lover. From wearable nudes, boldest browns, vibrant pinks & reds to trendy mauves & purples - you name it, this collection owns it!

Oh, lipstick swatch rainbow is your thing? It's mine too!

As mentioned, there are 20 shades with a corresponding number and name. For convenience sake, I will only be stating their numbers on my swatches. So here comes the closeup swatches!

Spotted any of your favourite shades yet? Well, I did at first glance! There are too many, and I know how these could get confusing for you. To spare you the pain of selection, I tested all the 20 shades on my lips. (L'Oréal Paris Singapore has their official lip swatches photographed HERE as well. But just in case you are a bit skeptical of official photos, here are my layman takes - totally unedited in its truest form...)

Click to enlarge images

All these swatches are applied with 2 - 3 layers of product on my own lips. No foundation nor lip primer; just a light layer of colourless lip balm in between these swatches. (You know, my lips peeled like insanity after swatching 20 lipsticks at one go!)

MY THOUGHTS

All the colours are so beautiful, I can't find any that I personally won't wear. I feel that at least 90% of them are super wearable and very universal, meaning - these will suit most skin tones. 

Texture is matte, but certain shades (especially the bolder/darker ones) reflect a sheen to it. Hence, I wouldn't consider these babies absolute matte. They are so so so smooth, glides on like heaven - you simply can't believe matte lipsticks can feel that way!

Lasting power is satisfactory - as long as you do not expect it to stay on after an oily meal, then this product wouldn't disappoint you. It lasted me through a night of only drinks, no meal.

At an affordable price of S$19.90, I say: GET AS MANY AS YOU LIKE!!

Which shades are my personal favourites, you ask? 

That's the most challenging question of all! IF I really had to pick (well in reality, I didn't have to...and I won't want to choose!), these are my lucky seven choices!

 HOW I LOOK WITH MY FAVE PICKS

 

 

   

 

 

I have a personal fondness for reds since my cabin crew days, so in every lipstick collection - they are my must-haves. 

Tip for cabin crew interview : If you look good in red lipsticks, wear L'Oréal Rouge Magique #911 or #913 and flaunt it! These two are the exact shade matches for Singapore Airlines cabin crew official lip colours.

I usually don't look too good in browns or nudes, but surprisingly #932, 931, 904, 901 turned out remarkable. #930 is my safe haven, everyday sort of colour - a nice sweet muted coral that's universally flattering.

So have you decided which ones to buy? Which are your favourites? Share with me in your comments below!
