A Look Into L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Last Longwear Lipcolors

I am a huge fan of the L’Oreal brand. I would go so far as to say of all of the drugstore brands out there, I buy more of their products than any other.

I use their True Match foundation line on all of my clients and have for years. And their mascaras (Voluminous False Fibers Lashes, yes please!) and liners (the Infallible and Silkissime – blogged on here) are some of my favorites. So when I was sent some of their newest Pro Longwear lip colors to try out, (a lovely and much appreciated blogger perk) well this mama thought she had died and gone to lipstick heaven.

How to share all of these shades with my readers though?? Since there were so many of these beauties, the whole swatching things on my arm that every beauty blogger does, wasn’t going to cut it. So I decided to do something fun with them and document all 14 shades I was sent on my Instagram account (<< follow me <<) with the hashtag: #alipstickadaykeepsthedoctoraway. It made sense. Whenever I want a pick me up for any reason, a swipe of lipstick makes me feel better about myself immediately:) And these lip colors, they stay around. More on my thoughts about these lip products and the formula at bottom of post.

Here’s a look at all of the ones I was sent. Sit back and relax, there’s a lot of shades to linger over…

Day 13 of my @lorealparisusa Pro Last lip color shade of the day in “Lasting Ginger.” The color reminded me of my vanilla latte with a hint of sparkle in it☕️✨ {To view shades 1-12, click on my hashtag #alipstickadaykeepsthedoctoraway } #LorealParis

That’s a lot of lip colors right?? Shew Wee!!

So here’s my personal thoughts next to the L’Oreal claims for the Infallible Pro-Last Longwear Lip Colors:

1. This is the long-lasting, transfer-resistant color you’ve been searching for. The high-intensity color glides on with a moisturizing feel that lasts up to 24 hours.

* Totally transfer-resistant. I would do my kid test and kiss my children’s cheeks to see if it left a mommy mark and they never did!! Never saw any color on my coffee cup or wine glass while wearing them either – which is a total pet peeve of mine. Score.

* I don’t find a need or want to keep on a lipstick for 24 hours honestly. I take off lip color after about 9 hours. Most of these shades did stay very high-intensity for up to 6 hours before I wanted to reapply any extra color at all and usually it was just needed on the interior of my lips. It stays moisturizing feeling AS LONG as you keep the balm handy and applied.*

2. The result: bold lips without the dry-out and no need to re-apply.

* Bold lips yes. Here’s the thing about dry out and I don’t k now if it was just because of my specific lip composition or what, but I found the darkest colors (except for Mesmerizing Merlot) felt the driest. All of the neutrals and pinks never felt dry. Not sure what that’s about but there you go! 3. Application Tips:

Step 1: Apply High Intensity Color for true color pay-off that resists transfer, fading & bleeding. * To get very technical, I would only dip my applicator in the color one time to use all over my lips because if you double dip and apply 2 or more coats – it doesn’t stick and feels cakey. I literally would swipe that applicator over my lips like I was pressing the color in for a good 30 seconds. Then I would keep my lips parted for another 45 seconds until the color was completely dry to the touch with my finger and no color transferred.
Step 2: Apply Pro-Seal Balm to lock in color and leave lips feeling moisturized. *This is fool proof, apply as much as you want. It makes your lips super glossy and feel heavenly.

L'Oreal Infallible Pro Last Longwear Lip color in "Mesmerizing Merlot"

^^ My favorite of the bunch – “Mesmerizing Merlot,” show again here with my good camera! ^^

I hate to pick favorites because there honestly wasn’t a single one I disliked. But if I had to choose one bestie from the 14, it would be “Mesmerizing Merlot.” Such a pretty balance and combo of a red + wine that complimented my skin tone perfectly. If I had to pick a neutral that wasn’t as bam!, I’d go with the “Everlasting Caramel.” A warm apricot toned neutral.

You can shop these Infallible Pro-Last Longwear Lipcolors, $12.99, at any of your favorite drugstores. There are 24 shades total! My online favorites are Ulta.com and Target.com has them online for $9.99 right now!
