L'oreal Infallible Pro Matte Foundation Review

Howdy, howdy. I've been on a drug store foundation binge lately, and have been searching for the perfect affordable foundation for my skin needs. Today I will be reviewing the L'oreal Infallible Pro Matte Foundation in the shade "103 Natural Buff". It runs for $17-$20 depending on where you purchase from, and the line has 9 shades. 

The foundation comes in a nice, sleek squeezable tube, which is great for controlling how much product you want to use. 

I would say that this foundation is a medium to full coverage, and is buildable without looking cakey. It claims to have a demi-matte finish, helps control oil, and wears for up to 24 hours. 

Swatch:

On my forearm, the shade comes off super yellow and dark. I must say though, it perfectly matches my neck! This is actually the first time I found a foundation that matches my skin perfectly. You will see in the pictures below. 

My naked skin is super uneven, especially around my mouth and eyes. 

The foundation goes on smoothly when I use my Beauty Blender, and dries fairly quick. Already, I look very matte and haven't even set with powder yet! 

My completed look. Pretty much just added powder, bronzer, mascara and did my brows. 

I love that the foundation is a perfect match for me colour wise. So happy I got it right this time! 

Look! I don't look oily at all! If anything my skin looks dry haha. (If you didn't notice, this was on a different day, but it was still after 6 hours using the same foundation! I totally forgot to take a mid day pic.)

After 10 hours. Uh yeah, I'm definitely oily. My t-zone always gets oily no matter what foundation I use. Nothing a blotting sheet can't fix. 

Close up, the foundation may have not lasted that long, but it doesn't look that disgusting. Some foundations I've tried started separating because of how oily I get, and that looks awful. Realistically, I could easily blot my face while I'm out and the foundation will still look great. 

This foundation is a win in my books. Is it THE foundation though? Definitely one of my top three favourite drug store foundations.

L'oreal Infallible Pro-Last Lip Colour Review

I'm surprised to see that these liquid lipsticks/lip colours aren't more popular. These are probably my favourite drug store liquid lipsticks/lip colours. I know I ranted and raved about the Rimmel Provocalips 16 Hour Kiss Proof Lip Colours, but I think these are WAY better. 

L'oreal Infallible Pro-Last Lip Colour

With 14 beautiful shades to choose from (freaking 24 shades in the US), these lip colours are to die for. They are super intense, opaque lip colours that last for 24 hours! I don't know how L'oreal did it, but these lip colours are the most amazing things ever. What I love about this line compared to the Rimmel Provocalips, is the colour range is way better, and the packaging is gorgeous. 

L'oreal Infallible Pro-Last Lip Colour in "Everlasting Caramel"

This is my favourite shade of the three that I picked. It's the perfect "your lips but better" lip colour. If anything, it looks like I'm just wearing a nice lip gloss, because it's my perfect nude!

With these lip colours, you need to make sure your lips are opened and apart, so they can set properly, before applying the balm. I made the mistake of closing my mouth, so you can see, between my lips there's a bit of colour separation.

L'oreal Infallible Pro-Last Lip Colour in "Toujours Teaberry"

This iridescent baby pink is not much of a win for me. I love the shade, but the shimmery, frost look just doesn't cut it. 

Similar to the Rimmel Provocalips, you would apply the colour first, keep your lips apart for about a minute, and then apply the lip balm to seal in the colour. 

L'oreal Infallible Pro-Last Lip Colour in "Raisin Revival"

This is another shade that was up my alley. When I first swatched it, I was a bit apprehensive if I would like it or not. This was one shade that really came off a bit transparent. Luckily, with about 2-3 coats, the colour pay-off is awesome. This shade leans more towards a lip stain that a lipstick/lip colour like the rest. 

I love deep berry/purple shades. This one is a great shade for those who don't want a purple that's super out there. 

The balm:

Another reason why I prefer the L'oreal lip colours over the Rimmel ones, is that this one has an actual balm stick, instead of one you apply with the applicator. 

The main difference between this lip colour and the Rimmel one, is that the Rimmel one has better staying power and is way more opaque. The formulation is outstanding with the Rimmel Provocalips, where this one is better because the colours are more wearable in my opinion. These transfer resistant lip colours work great for people like me, who hate having to reapply lipstick throughout the day. With the balm, you don't have to worry about your lips drying out! Just apply more balm as needed. I absolutely love this product, and I am definitely purchasing more colours. 

Will you be trying any of these lip colours?
