L’Oreal Infallible Stars Never Fail Celebrity Shades and Swatches

L’Oreal Paris has new infallible shades endorsed by celebrities. The L’Oreal Infallible Stars Never Fail Collection has 6 shades elected by Beyoncé, Andie MacDowell, Diane Keaton, Eva Longoria Parker, Kate del Castillo, and Linda Evangelista.

Below are swatches of Beyonce’s Red (my favorite), Diane’s Tuberose, and Kate’s Plum:

If you haven’t tried L’Oreal Infallible, it comes with a thick long wear stain with a sponge applicator and also a balm to wear over the stain. This stuff does indeed stick around! I couldn’t get it all washed off of my hand after swatching and still had a tiny bit on after my shower the next day. However, it does wear off lips quicker, and it will feel drying, so the balm is a necessity. Be sure to let the stain completely dry before applying the balm.

MAC SuperGlass

Just in case DazzleGlass wasn’t enough, MAC has the limited edition MAC SuperGlass.

SuperGlass is a lip gloss blended with small, medium, and large pearls to create a three dimension look full of flash and dazzle with sheer to medium coverage. It comes in vanilla flavor, although I don’t think MAC’s vanilla really tastes all that much like vanilla.

These super sparkle lip glosses are not my personal preference, but for those who want a lot of glitter and glam, this is the one to buy for over the top sparkle!

NARS Lip Treatments and NARS 2010 Summer Collection

I had the pleasure of meeting with representatives of NARS Cosmetics last week and viewing the new NARS Summer Collection for 2010. Among the lip items were a set of NARS Pure Sheer SPF Lip Treatments which are wonderful little tinted lip balms. These thin balms include sun protection and are made with Wild Mango Butter, Vitamin E, Polar Berries and Açai Oil. Texture is that of a medium balm. So it is buttery and lasts fairly well.

There are six shades—one clear and 5 tinted. The NARS Lip Treatment Balms are quite sheer, so they don’t all show well in my swatch below. However, they do build a bit, so if you get one of the highest tinted ones (such as Angelique), you will see more color from it. Swatches are below, but I lost track of which are which. Angelique is the brightest one to the right though.

New lip shades for the Summer Collection include NARS Lip Gloss Coup de Coeur and NARS Lipstick Love Devotion. The lipstick is a coral shade that is rather sheer. It can be built up for more color, but I prefer it on the sheer side. The gloss is a richer shade that pairs nicely with the lipstick to darken things up a bit. NARS’ gloss tends to wear well and is not sticky.

For more on the NAR Summer collection, head on over to Beauty and Fashion Tech to see eye shadow and blush swatches and the new NARS multiple: NARS Makeup Summer Collection. I will also be reviewing the new NARS Multiple Tints and new primers there over the next week or two.

MAC Too Fabulous Collection. New CremeSheen Lip Glass!

The Mac Cosmetics Too Fabulous limited edition collection has some great new shades of MAC CremeSheen Glass . If you haven’t tried CremeSheen, you should! This highly pigmented gloss wears wonderfully and, unlike some of MAC’s regular lipglasses, it isn’t particularly sticky.

The line also includes some great limited edition MAC Lip Pencils. These are creamy smooth and come in a nice variety of shades.

For great results, don’t just line your lips. Fill them in entirely with a pencil before applying additional color.

Bare Escentuals Holiday Lip Gloss Set

Doing some Black Friday or Cyber Monday shopping? Bare Escentuals Buxom Babes Winter Escapade is a cute lip gloss set for the holidays. Bare Escentuals glosses tend to be well pigmented and non-sticky. I particularly like the red shade in this collection.

Bare Escentuals also have some great Bare Minerals mineral makeup kits that would be perfect holiday gifts.
