Tonight I have a quick post for you showing L'Oreal ColourRiche Masked Affair and Bad Bad Grey from the new Dark Sides of Grey Collection.
Masked Affair is the holo of the 8 shades and it's actually a loose linear or a "tightly scattered" meaning it has an arc but it's not a strong linear arc like the super holos. It's actually my personal favorite type of holo. It's a grey-taupe but with the holo arc, you don't get much of the taupe side. The formula was on the thin side compared to indie holos I'm used to. The 2nd coat probably should have taken me to full opacity but I had a bit of dragging and used a 3rd coat to even it out. It doesn't *need* a top coat per se - it dries shiny. But the top coat did dull the holo ever so slightly. Not enough to bother me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bad Bad Grey is a texture, which I wasn't expecting. Two coats without top coat and then with top coat. The shimmers are interesting but they get lost in the texture and only come out to play with a top coat. I wasn't in love because I don't care for textures. As far as textures go though, the formula was comparable to others I've tried, although it did not dry down to a matte texture. The gloss remained.
Basically, this serves to remind me why I love indie brands so much. Thanks to my friend I was "muling for" for letting me swatch these for you.
