L'Oreal Spring 2016 is Here!

I'm so excited to see a cushion foundation make its way to the drugstore! I've been using the Laneige Cushion Compact for almost 2 years now, but it's expensive, even though you can get it at Target now. I have also tried several cushion compacts from Etude House which are more affordable but not always easy to get from Korea. I love cushion foundations simply because they're so easy to use...just pat and go. I'm excited to see how these stack up to the Korean versions I've tried. I'm also intrigued because it's under the name "True Match Lumi" so I'm wondering if it has shimmer in the formula like the other "lumi" products from L'Oreal.


It comes in 12 shades, and you can choose from Cool, Neutral, or Warm tones.

A nice feature of this display are these shade selection cards. They have three strips on them that you can peel off and stick to your skin...well, ideally to your face but I didn't have a mirror so I stuck them on my hand. I have cool toned skin but going by these stickers, the cool shades looked a little pink next to my skin color. I don't want to look even pinker than I already am, so I decided to try a neutral shade, since they can be worn by people who are either cool or warm toned.

Next up are the Infallible Pro-Contour kits ($11.49). They come in three shades and each compact contains a highlight, a contour and a small brush.

Here are some close-ups of each shade:

L'oreal Infallible Pro-Contour Medium

L'oreal Infallible Pro-Contour Deep

Finally, I'm so excited to see the Les Monos by Colour Riche eyeshadows ($4.89 each). These have been out in Europe for a while now and the swatches I've seen were just gorgeous. I ended up getting six of the 14 shades and I posted swatches to my Instagram page here. I'll be posting a full review on these soon, but I want to wear them for a little while first and see how long lasting they are, if they crease, etc.
