Of Toys and Co: L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24HR Eyeshadow Part V

Last of the L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24HR Eyeshadow are these 8 colors. I'm not sure when 023 Black Onyx and 040 Cosmic Black were released or which collection(s) they were parts of, but I do know they are not available within the US. And 755 Gilded Envy, 756 Always Pearly Pink, 757 Silver Sky, 758 Purple Priority, 759 Burst Into Bloom, and 760 Timeless Blue Spark are the newest 6 shades released just earlier this spring.

Top row: 023 Black Onyx and 040 Cosmic Black.
Middle row: 755 Gilded Envy, 756 Always Pearly Pink and 757 Silver Sky.
Bottom row: 758 Purple Priority, 759 Burst Into Bloom, and 760 Timeless Blue Spark. All pictures taken in natural light without flash.

- 023 Black Onyx: metallic high shimmer, high intensity. This is what 999 Eternal Black should have been, only in a slate charcoal color set ablaze with high wattage silver shimmers.

- 040 Cosmic Black: high shimmer, medium intensity. This is seemingly a sparkling version of 408 Gleaming Bronze, take away the golden olive metallic finish and replace with lots of golden olive sparkles, right? Well, not quite. When swatched side by side, 040 Cosmic Black is actually greener and more olive, and 408 Gleaming Bronze is warmer and more golden. Where are these side by side swatches? Shh...they're coming ^.^

023 Black Onyx and 040 Cosmic Black.

- 755 Gilded Envy: metallic high shimmer, high intensity. An olived slated silver with lots of silver sparkles.

- 756 Always Pearly Pink: metallic pearl, medium intensity. A pearly pastel pink with white sparkles. I experimented one day and found that this color and 759 Burst Into Bloom below make a fantastic pair.

- 757 Silver Sky: metallic high shimmer, high intensity. This is the true silver version of 407 Gold Imperial, intensely metallic with lots of silver sparkles. I didn't get a backup of this color though. I tend to lean gold and don't often reach for silver. Still, this color is gorgeous, and if you're a silver person, you must give this color a try.

- 758 Purple Priority: semi metallic, high intensity. A deep bluish purple with a satiny finish and a semi metallic bluish lavender sheen.

- 759 Burst Into Bloom: metallic, medium intensity. A violet with and white sparkles. Makes a gorgeous crease color and shows up exceptionally well. I didn't think I would even wear this shade but I ended up loving it!
