L’Oreal Paris Infallible Silkissime Eyeliners Review, Swatches
Hi guys,
So L’Oreal Paris had launched these eyeliners as a part of their Cannes Collection, I had reviewed the Infallible Le Mega lip glosses earlier HERE. I took time to review these coz I was in two minds about these. Read on to know my thoughts..
Claims: Indulge your eyes in silk with Silkissimeby Infallible. Glide on smooth intensity with our first silk inspired liquid pencil. The smudge-proof formula lasts for up to 16-hours of intense color from dusk until dawn. Gives a delicate, silky shiny look with ultimate perfection in a single stroke. Available in 8 vibrant shades.
How to use: Apply along the top and bottom lash line beginning in the inner corner of the eye and working outward. Use a sharpener to sharpen the pencil gently and create a working tip.
I have the shades Plum, Purple, Gold and Silver. They come in a pencil form which needs to be sharpened. And that is a major problem, I will tell you why.
They have a transparent cap and matching shade color outer body, so it’s easy to find the shade you need. The texture is more creamy than butter, it is like melted butter. It glides on super smooth but that is the problem, it breaks every time I try to use it.
It goes on smooth on the waterline but it is difficult to use on the upper lashline coz it gets blunt and breaks every time. And when you try to sharpen these, they melt and keep on breaking. The product is like gel liner in pencil form, I have to use it with an eyeliner brush, rubbing the bristles each time on the pencil. It gets a little difficult and time consuming.
Once applied, it stays put through the day. These are very pigmented and long staying. But the product can hardly be used a few times as 50% goes waste in sharpening and you never get a sharp tip for using it on upper lashline.
I would say these are good for waterline. They also make a perfect base for eyeshadows. I like the gel formula but I would have appreciated gel liners in these shades. The quantity of 1.10g is less for the price and half of it goes waste.
Left-Right: Plum, Pure Purple, Gold, Silver
Either the product inside should have been a little more stiff and sturdy or it should have come with it’s own special sharpener that did not waste the product. It does mention in ‘How to use’, to sharpen with L’Oreal Paris Dual Sharpener, but I haven’t seen it anywhere, I am not sure if it’s available separately. It should have come along with the pencil.
As much as I love the shades and formula, I am not happy with these pencils and I do not reach for them often, coz it burns my heart to see so much wastage :/ I saw the exact same issue with the pencils in US coz all the reviews on Amazon. com also mentioned the same thing. It’s an universal formula with these pencils.
I would not recommend these, unless you are ok with using these only for waterline and lower lashline or as an eyeshadow base. You will not get a crisp or sharp line on upper lashline with these unless you use a brush.
I love the shades though, all four are fabulous, especially the Pure Purple.

The L’Oréal Paris Color Riche Moist Matte is available in 12 stunning shades and there are some lipsticks with the Limited Edition Swarovski packaging, which is gorgeous to the core. They glide on the lips like butter and very light weight. Though it maintains a certain level of hydration on the lips, it looks semi-matte. The shade Lincoln Rose is one of the popular red (worn a lot by Aishwariya Rai Bachchan) and Arabian Nights which is perfect for fall/winter season. (P.S: I absolutely love Raspberry Syrup and Spring Rossette)
5. L’Oréal Paris Mat Magique Compact Powder (399 INR) (Review, Swatches HERE) (BUY HERE for 358)
In the recent past, L’Oréal Paris launched the budget friendly mat compact in 5 shades (which is rare in the Indian market).

Gel liners are such a rage these days and L’Oréal came up with the 36H formula of gel liner. It has a gorgeous golden lid and glass pot packaging and also comes with a brush.

It offers 13 shades and each has its own beauty. These are something between lipstick and glosses. It provides a magnifying shine and gloss to the lips which rich colors, that of a lipstick and makes a ravishing difference to the lips. It hydrates it thoroughly and quite forgiving for dry and chapped lips. It is non sticky and long lasting than any gloss.
8. L’Oréal Paris Infallible Reno Liquid Foundation (1325 INR) (Review & Swatches HERE) (BUY HERE for 924)
Another star product from L’Oreal Paris. It is one of the best liquid foundations in India currently. Full coverage, photographs beautifully, comes in 11 shades, matte finish, stays put whole day long! If you have weddings/events, etc., then you got to have this foundation.
9. L’Oréal Paris Collection Star Red Lipsticks (INR 995) (Review, Swatches HERE) (BUY HERE for 645 to 746)
Probably the most talked about and raved launches of L’Oréal Paris. Every woman goes weak seeing a red lipstick; L’Oréal went a step ahead and launched 7 stunning red of different variety, endorsed by 7 different celebrities and their signature in the packaging. The lipsticks are intense in pigmentation, rich in texture and screams vanity with every application. The finish is comfortable matte and is a pure indulgence.
10. L’Oréal Paris True Match Foundation (INR 1025) (BUY HERE for 959)
The True Match series of L’Oréal Paris is indeed great – from mineral makeup to concealer but if I have to choose one, I would blindly go for the foundation. It has 11 shades ranging from warm to cool undertones and offers a great finish to the skin. It is so easy to blend and wears just like your natural skin. It gives an oil free natural finish and has medium to buildable coverage. It photographs really well and imparts a flawless touch to the skin.
Editor’s Note: I would also recommend the L’Oreal Paris Base Magique Primer, one of the very good primers available in India currently. And from the new Pink Collection, Julianne, Eva and J.Lo’s shades.
Do let me know your favorite product from L’Oréal Paris.
L’Oreal Paris India La Vie En Rose Collection – Review & FOTD
Hi guys,
If you have not seen the L’Oreal Paris La Vie En Rose Collection Swatches yet, go HERE.
Today I would be reviewing these lipsticks and the L’Extrordinaire Mat Lip Colours.
L’Oreal Paris La Vie En Rose Collection Star Moist Mat Lipstick – Rs.990/-
L’Oreal Paris La Vie En Rose Collection Star L’Extraordinaire Mat Lip Colors – Rs 950/-
To start with the packaging, the Moist Mat lipsticks come in a regular matte black packaging with the gold band at the center. The texture as the name suggests is moist mat, they are velvet matte in texture. The shades in this range need a bit of layering, with 2-3 swipes you get the perfect opaque coverage but for pigmented lips, you will need to layer more. Also the lighter shades in this range are slightly less pigmented than the darker ones and would work for fair skin tones only, they will wash out the medium/wheatish skin tone. The lipsticks also deepen on the lips and get a bit darker after 5-10 minutes of application.
The lipsticks are neither drying nor moisturizing, you will need to exfoliate your lips and apply a lip balm and blot it before using these otherwise it would accentuate dry patches and fine lines on the lips. These do not transfer much and surprisingly stay well. The lipsticks stay for 3-4 hours on me and leave behind a deep stain which again stays for 1-2 hours.
L- Liya, R- J. LoL- Sonam, R- Julianne
Coming to the L’Extraordinare Mat Lip Colours, they come in the square packaging with the color peeping through the centre. The doe shaped wand applicator picks the right amount of product and is flexible to spread the product evenly on the lips in one coat. These are quite pigmented and feel moisturizing and buttery. The finish comes out glossy and it needs some time to settle down to a matte finish, about 20-25 minutes. Only one swipe gives a full opaque coverage, I did not have to dip the wand in the gloss again. The finish is not completely matte but semi-matte, these stay for about 2 hours and again leave behind a nice stain, especially the deeper color Julianne.
I like all the dark shades from this collection, they compliment medium skin tones really well. I would recommend the shades Liya, Eva, J. Lo and Julianne for mostly all skin tones. Sonam, Katrina and Aishwarya for slightly fairer skin tones.
Here are all the looks..
LiyaJulianneJ.LoSonamKatrina
Overall I would say some of these lipsticks are an absolute must have, try it at the counters, I am sure you will end up buying 1-2 shades. Though the price is slightly on the higher side, the qty is quite good with the lipsticks being 4.2g and the lip colours being 5.5ml.

L’Oreal Paris Moist Mat Lipstick Lincoln Rose Review, Swatches
By Ishleen
Hello there, gorgeous!
So the holiday spirit has finally seeped in, and seeped in with a BAM! With the ethereal beauty of winters and the New Year’s party knocking down the corner, it is always a great opportunity to get hold of a red lipstick, and make your pout shine in all its blooming glory! <3
So after a lot of contemplation so as to spend almost a thousand bucks for a drugstore lipstick or to add 500 bucks more and get our patent MAC, I finally succumbed to buying this gorgeously packaged lipstick from L’Oreal in Lincoln Rose! Was it worth succumbing to the temptation? Keep reading to know more!
Product Description
Name- L’Oreal Moist Mat Lipstick
Shade- Lincoln Rose
Price- INR 899
Quantity- 4.2 grams
Availability- Available across all L’Oreal counters as well as online
My experience:
Packaging– If ever there was a love at first sight moment for me, it was when I saw this gorgeous little baby at the L’Oreal counter! Those of you who know me, know what a sucker I am for classy as well as cute packaging—they just make me go weak in the knees! And if the packaging is chic as well as in a hue of rose gold with uber classy mirror-like finish—count me in baby! So now you know why people are raving about this lipstick range so much—it is love at first sight, truly! But yes, the packaging though nice on the exterior, is quite flimsy on the inside! I mean, the lipstick tube is like really feeble and prone to breakage upon the slightest pressure; so just be cautious!
Texture- L’Oreal has this thing of playing with names—and so has been done with L’Oreal Moist Mat Range! I mean, the name is pretty intriguing—how can a moist lipstick be matte, and how can a matte lipstick be moist? But breaking the obnoxious monotony of dehydrating mattes, L’Oreal Paris has come up with the most amazing matte textured lipsticks which though settle into a powdery matte finish, yet is not at all dry. It glides on super smooth and does not look flaky. It indeed is a moist matte lipstick—the most wonderful texture I have used till date! Nothing like Mac retro mattes, but definitely similar to the Mac Satin finish lipsticks!
Shade- This particular shade is the most coveted of the lot and is mostly out of stock across all stores. And why should it not be—our miss universe Aishwarya Rai Bacchan had worn it for the Cannes Film Festival and flaunted the most amazing pout ever! The lipstick shade—as gorgeous as the outer packaging—is a very vibrant medium red with invariably strong pink-berry undertones which promises to flatter each and every skin tone! Perhaps it is the most stunning pink based medium red which is bold, but not at all in your face bright! A must try shade from the lot!
Pigmentation- Apart from the texture, if there is one thing that left me totally love struck; it is the super opaque pigmentation of the lipstick! I mean even the darkest of pigmentation (on lips, obviously :P) can be camouflaged easily with just two swipes of this lipstick! And if you have naturally pink lips, i.e., without any sort of pigmentation—one light stroke is all that it would take to get the colour in full bloom on the lips!
Staying power- these are drying winter months and I prefer using a lip balm underneath even the most creamiest of the lipsticks! And though, Moist Mat is matte, I can easily do even without a lip balm! Yes, it is that smooth to use! Atop a lip balm it stays for about 4+ hours and does not leave horrendously stained lips behind. But if applied sans any lip balm, the wear time can be prolonged to a good 6-7 hours, though it will stain the lips (which are not at all gross to look at; in fact, gives a nice raspberry tint upon fading)!
Pros:
-gorgeous packaging
-colour coded tabs on the lipstick tube
-very comfortable matte lipstick]
-not at all drying
-can be worn even without a lip balm
-super-opaque
-covers pigmented lips well
-lasts on the lips for a good 4-6 hours
Cons:
-price (900 bucks for a drugstore lipstick! Like, seriously?) *SIGH*
-flimsy lipstick tube which is prone to breakage
-may melt in the summer months
Final verdict: If you are on the look out of a nice pink based red, with very strong pink undertones—which is matte, comfortable to apply and wears well—go grab this beauty!
Rating: 4.7/5
Editor’s Note: Totally agree Ishleen, absolutely love the shade!
New L’Oreal Paris Infallible Lipsticks Review,Swatches
L’oreal Paris revamped their Infallible Le Rouge Lipsticks and now we have these new Infallible ones with a fancy packaging,better formula and of course a new price tag 😀
What the Company claims: Infallible Lip Colour is a luxurious, comfortable and long lasting lip colour. The new range has with a broad spectrum of 15 gorgeous shades, from subdued neutrals to lively, vibrant shades. It offers 24 hours of vivid, high definition colour.
Colour bond technology and combination of silicon micro spheres, captures colour on the lips for upto 10 hours for the ultimate beauty experience. Vitamin E: keeps your lips moist, relaxed and hydrated. The creamy, conditioning base: Allows even application without flaking or fading.
I am reviewing six shades today which are 421 Charismatic Coral, 312 Ravishing Red,737 Persistent Plum, 425 Always Apricot,138 Forever Fuchsia and 829 Resilient Raisin.
Let us start with the packaging, I loved the transparent matching shade cap and the black common base, looks pretty and easy to identify. Only issue is the lipstick touches the edges when you swivel up and down and also during travelling which damages it slightly at the edges.
Coming to the texture, it glides like butter! Literal butter, no kidding. It melts on the lips as you glide it on and spreads like butter. It sets on the lips after 10 minutes or so.
Pigmentation is beyond amazing. The swatches on my hand needed good scrubbing to get rid of. These are indeed super pigmented.
The Lipstick Army (L-R: Charismatic Coral, Ravishing Red,Always Apricot,Persistent Plum,Resilient Raisin,Forever Fuchsia)
Now the main part, the staying power where most of the lipsticks fail for me. Only MAC Matte stays on for me a long time. (i.e. Ruby Woo) These totally surprised me here!! I have worn these for more than 8 hours and still they were good to go, untill I had to remove it off with a good cleanser. I never expected this from L’Oreal Paris and I would say I am pretty pretty impressed. I have drank tea,water and had lunch,dinner,etc. It doesn’t fade at all with drinking or light snacks, with complete lunch or dinner, it does fade but not much. I kiss my niece the whole day and all the lipsticks always transfer on her cute chubby cheeks :p This one did transfer a bit but not much. Passed the kiss test too 😀
Always Apricot is a stunning medium wearable warm orange
Persistent Plum is a deep plum with pink undertones
Resilient Raisin is a deep brown with maroon undertones
Forever Fuchsia is a medium neutral fuchsia pink
Charismatic Coral and Always Apricot look very similar in tube and are slightly close, so are Persistent Plum and Resilient Raisin. (except for the undertones)
Only con would be the price, as they are expensive at Rs.999/- for 2.5g quantity. And the lipstick bullet gets damaged at the corners.
If I have to review these in one word, I would say superb!
My favourite shades are Always Apricot, Forever Fuchsia, Charismatic Coral and Ravishing Red. I also want to check out Enduring Berry,Tender Berry and Rambling Rose.
Overall for me, they pass all the tests. I am in love with these and have been wearing them since 3 days the entire day. I know the price is on the higher side, but if I get such long staying lipsticks which need no touch up and are super comfortable and light on lips,kiss proof, transfer proof and come in such pretty bright 15 shades, I would pay for these. These actually deliver all that they claim. Highly recommended!
Rating: 4.5/5
