This review is coming a little late, apologies!
I was browsing the Superdrug website a few weeks back and saw they offered the new L'Oreal Infallible sculpt products in a kit. Having tried and loved the Infallible Matte foundation, I was intrigued to try this.
The kit came in this paper bag and contained a contouring base, blush/highlight trio and a cream highlight and contour duo.
The premise of these products is to create a base for your blush/contour/highlight so it sits in place and is more intense.
I got the kit in light/medium as I haven't had any sun recently and am not feeling the fake tan right now! Regrettably, the kit was way too light for me and I didn't feel the contouring base added any definition to my face or helped with the contour at all. Blended it it looks like a perfect foundation match, however that's not the colour I needed for contouring!
The cream highlight/contour duo comes in nice, simple packaging where you can see the contents.
Like I mentioned, I got the shade light/medium and the packaging sort of explains where you put the product on in relation to your face.
Despite the product blending well on my hand, when I used it on my face and blended it in, it became patchy and the pigmentation was poor. That could be because it was too pale for me, but i feel like even the darker shade would be the same. BIG disappointment.
With the kit there wasn't a choice of the blush trio you got, so the fair/medium kit came with this 102 Nude beige trio.
The pigmentation of the coppery-larger colour is beautiful but far far too pigmented for use on the cheeks for anyone who is pale, medium or olive skin toned. I actually used this colour as an eyeshadow (see picture below) as its a lovely colour just definitely for the cheeks.
If I'm honest I don't understand the point of this middle shade, because what face brush is so small you can use that middle colour without picking up the other 2 shades?!
The middle colour is a mroe muted, less pigmented version of the large copper colour. Again I wouldn't use it on my cheeks. The highlight shade is pretty, not as pigmented as I like my highlights to be. It was slightly glittery and no where near as glossy or reflective as I would like.

Overall, I'm really disappointed in this kit. It would just be me as everyone's skin is different (remember that!). I don't think I'll be keeping the contour base, or the cream products but the blush trio might be used when I'm a little more tanned.
If you've used this let me know your thoughts
