Packaging
Like I mentioned before, the New L’Oreal Infallible Lipsticks come in a black sturdy packaging with a color coded translucent cap. The cap shuts tightly and definitely eases identification even though it isn’t as close to the actual shade of the bullet. An issue that I faced with L’Oreal Resilient Raisin was that it sort of slides against the barrel everytime I rotate it out. Though it isn’t a major issue but can be a nuisance for someone like me who likes keeping their lipstick bullets in perfect condition.

Texture
The L’Oreal Infallible Le Rouge Lipsticks in Resilient Raisin & Persistent Plum have a very creamy and soft texture. They apply easily onto the lips without tugging or pulling even in this cold, cold weather! The finish of the lipstick is glossy for the first hour or so after which it settles into a semi matte finish. This lipsticks do not feel drying and neither do they accentuate the fine lines. The only issue is that you need to be pretty precise with the application since it tends to stain so if you go out of the lip line you’ll have a hard time removing it.

Shades
The previous shades that I tried from the range were L’Oreal Infallible Lipsticks Ravishing Red & Forever Fuchsia. One is a deep flattering red and the other was a stunning fuchsia pink which were perfect for parties. I was a bit hesitant in trying out Resilient Raisin & Persistent Plum since I’ve never been fond of plums or browns but I kept an open mind and gave it a try. L’Oreal Persistent Plum is the most beautiful plummy-red and could very well be the best plum lipstick from a drugstore brand. A perfect shade for fall which will flatter all complexions especially the dusky skintone!

L’Oreal Resilient Raisin Infallible Lipstick on the other hand is a chocolatey brown which alot of the Indian women prefer to pair with ethnic wear. My mom is obsessed with this shade and has been wearing it all the time. To be honest, I didn’t find this shade that flattering on me as it looked too mature for my liking.

Pigmentation
L’Oreal Lipsticks rarely let me down in terms of the color payoff and I certainly wasn’t disappointed this time either. L’Oreal Infallible Lipstick Persistent Plum gives an intense pigmentation is a single swipe and will perfectly cover any lip pigmentation. Resilient Raisin isn’t as highly pigmented though gives good coverage in 2 swipes.

Staying Power
I was really impressed with staying power of the L’Oreal Forever Fuchsia Lipstick and these shades are equally good. The lipsticks stay put for 6+ hours including full meals, snacks and drinks. It does not feather or bleed but do stain the lips which makes sure you wouldn’t need to touch up your lipstick immediately but is an absolute pain to remove.

With L’Oreal Lipsticks the major problem has been the price and I have the same issue with the Infallible Lipsticks. High time brands stop burning a hole in our pockets for a humble lipstick, no?
Pros of L’Oreal Infallible Lipsticks
1) Smooth, creamy and hydrating
2) Semi matte finish which does not accentuate fine lines or feel drying
3) Intense pigmentation, a boon for those with pigmented lips
4) Long lasting, making it perfect for parties
5) Persistent Plum is beautiful plum perfect for fall and Resilient Raisin is the perfect chocolate-y brown
6) Sturdy and chic packaging
Cons of L’Oreal Infallible Lipsticks
1) Price is an ouch especially for the quantity
2) Stains the lips which is both a boon and a con
HBM Rating
HBM Recommendation: L’Oreal Infallible Lipsticks in Persistent Plum & Resilient Raisin are the perfect shades for fall and will most certainly impress the plum and brown lipstick lovers. Persistent Plum was a personal favorite and the perfect wearable plum which isn’t vampy or OTT. The quality and staying power is top notch as is always the case with most L’Oreal lipsticks. Highly recommended if the price isn’t an issue!
