I'm back! Did you all miss me? :) I've been so busy and stressed lately I just haven't had the time for blogging, but every things calming down so now I can get back to you guys. What I've wanted to talk to you all about is the much blogged about L'Oreal La Couleur Infallible Eyeshadows in particular my favourite; Sahara Treasure.
I bought Sahara Treasure when I was in the UK (yes, I still have products from the UK to review) at Boots for £6.99, so much cheaper than it is in Australia! Plus I haven't seen Sahara Treasure in Australia before. Couleur Infallible (in irridescent finish) has the most velvety soft texture, almost like a cushion of eyeshadow (not like the dream bouncy blushes though, that's a totally different texture!). They're so opaque and I find for maximum pigmentation you should apply it with your fingers, rather than an eyeshadow brush, but if you use a brush it's far more build-able.
Sahara Treasure (must be based on the desert) has a beautiful metallic cool gold colour, I wouldn't say it was multiple colours but rather a solid metallic. It definitely reminds of what you would find in a treasure chest (the concept of course) and I've just been loving this lately. I love to layer it over M.A.C Paint Pot in Indianwood or on its own since it's definitely strong enough, with a dark or chestnut brown in the crease and under my lower lashline. I wouldn't even say that Couleur Infallible requires a primer, plus L'Oreal claims that they last for up to 24 hours. Although I'm not exactly game enough to test this considering you shouldn't wear makeup while you sleep!
How pretty is it? I'm in love!
L'Oreal Couleur Infallible eyeshadows retail for $14 and up at most L'Oreal stockists such as Priceline and other pharmacies.

Tsk tsk, not happy Collection! (formerly known as Collection 2000, it's still a habit for me to write that instead). Before I went to the UK I made a point to look on the Boots website constantly for products I could explore that weren't available here, I still feel like I haven't tried even half of them. But one of the brands I'd heard about was Collection, I looked up on blogs about their best recommended products (some I do really like) and one of the ones that came up was the Big Fake False Lash Effect Mascara (sounds appealing, right?)
(You can tell I like to take the photos at the last minute, in my bed before I start typing my article!)
I always am searching for the biggest best false lash effect mascara possible, right now I think I've found it, but definitely not in this product.
First of all the wand is absolutely MASSIVE, it's longer than the length of my eye, and I've got big eyes! clearly this could be an issue considering you could get mascara on the edges of your eyes which is just a bother more than anything, and makes it messy. Secondly I found the formula very thin, for such a big brush you'd assume you'd have loads of product on your lashes straight up, but alas! I was wrong. According to Collection Big Fake False Lash Effect has "a unique 3D lash boosting tube technology that wraps around each lash for a 'lash extension' effect", I've never really used any tubing mascaras before so this would be my first, not a positive experience. Big Fake False Lash Effect didn't enhance the volume or thickness of my lashes, it basically went over the length I already have (since my lashes are very full and long, I won a portion of the genetic eyelash lottery) without giving me a real superstar look. I was more puzzled than anything considering such a large wand, and it applies such little product, disappointing for me!
Collection Big Fake False Lash Effect Mascara retails for Boots and other UK outlets at £4.99, but I don't recommend it.
