We all have that eyeshadow that's our go-to when we're in a rush and want a soft wash of colour - for me lately, it's been L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Amber Rush! The perfect rose gold sheen that can be layered up to give a more intense effect. it's versatile and just beautiful!
The formula of these shadows is really interesting. Like a pressed pigment but when you rub your finger in it, it transforms into this creamy texture - how cool?! There are tons of other shades but this one definitely caught my eye. On my brown eyes, it brings out the warmer, honey tones but when I've seen this one blue or green eyed girls, oh wow, it's a stunner! For that reason, I think this is a super flattering colour on a lot of different people.
To apply this, I take an eyeshadow brush (the one pictured on the left) and pack on the shadow on the lid. Since this is more of a pigment, you have to be careful with fallout, so pressing this into the lid gives you the best colour payoff. Then, I go in with a fluffy blending brush and blend out the colour into my crease so that there aren't any harsh lines. Although, if you want a really subtle shimmering effect, taking a small amount of Amber Rush on a blending brush and just lightly sweeping it across the lids gives a pretty subdued look.
Quick question to all of you beauty addicts, is the shade Bronzed Taupe discontinued? I haven't been able to spot it anywhere but I've been dying to get my hands on it. Any luck finding it?
Painting my nails regularly is basically a hobby of mine, so when I paint them the same colour consecutively, you know you've got a winner. I love colours that look black on the nails but show their true underpigments in the light, so naturally I have quite a few that fit that category. Recently though I've loved the look of red on my finger tips. Classic, chic and just perfection.
Along the same lines as the famous Chanel selection Rouge Noir, L'Oreal nail polish in Haute Couture Red is less than half the price and probably has a better formula! This shade is a cream finish and gives a good amount of colour pay off. Application wise you do need to be a bit more careful to prevent streaks but the lasting power is great! You win some, you lose some right?
If you love the Chanel shade and look of a blackened red mani, but don't want to break the bank or compromise on lasting power, L'Oreal Haute Couture Red has you covered!
