Haul post: L'Oreal L'Or Electric collection

Those of you following me on Twitter may have read I was on a mission to find L'Oreal's limited L'Or Electric collection last week.  The collection had caught my eye with its bright polishes and Infaillible eye shadows and I wasn't going to let this one pass me by.  I even went as far as tweeting to L'Oreal Australia to find out when and where the range was being launched - and that's a bit of a big deal for pedestrian me!  They weren't great with specifics and only heightened my sense of urgency about the LE range suggesting I'd "...best get in quick!" so I did and after two days haunting L'Oreal stands eventually found THE stand at my city Priceline store.

I know L'Oreal have got some awesomely bright lipstick shades as part of L'Or Electric collection but I went straight past those without even as much as a single swatch, lest I break my ban at the 11th hour! I focused on the nail and eye colours.  I loved all of the three nail polish shades and at $6.95AUD a pop didn't agonize over preferences and got the lot!  I was a bit more selective with the eye shadow and chose the most wearable of the three new shades available.  Let's get on with the obligatory close ups and swatches, shall we?

Color Riche nail colors L-R:

807 - Majestic Green, 811 - Magic Croisette, 809 - Mystic Blue

I'm sure you fellow polish lovers can understand why I had to to have them all - right?  Majestic Green in particular is a very unique yellow-toned green so I wasn't going to pass that up, and I'm a lover of blue and blurple polishes so the other two were guaranteed to come home with me too.

Color Infaillible Iridescent Finish eyeshadow

040 - Cosmic Black

I can't recall the names of the other two eyeshadow colours but the first was a very tempting silvery lilac (I have numerous lilacs and purples so I had to pass) and the other was an unusual coral duochrome - pretty but I wasn't sure about it for me.  I fell in love with Cosmic Black for its starry looking gold glitter blended in a warm black base.  It was surprisingly soft on first application but quite buildable - perfect for an evening eye.

I also scored a freebie with my eyeshadow purchase as L'Oreal are currently giving away a complimentary eyeshadow brush.  I've not tried it yet but the shape looks like a good all-rounder for packing colour onto the lids or blending into the crease. 

Enough of the frivolous hauling for now!  I have another one up my sleeve waiting to post and I can feel another no-buy coming on if I'm not careful...

Until next time.
