Hi everyone!!
Well what a fantastic day it is today! The makeup gods have finally answered my prayers and we can now buy L'Oreal Infallible Pro Matte Foundation in Australia YIPPEEEEE!!!!
L'Oreal Infallible Pro Matte is a foundation that is marketed towards people who want medium buildable coverage, a long lasting mattified finish and oil control. Basically - it's a foundation catered towards oily skin!!

I have been obsessing over this foundation for the last month and it was a pain in the butt to have to order it from the states (we all know that shipping items here from the states can be quite pricey!) So you can imagine my glee that while casually strolling the aisles of my local priceline store (looking quite sweaty and repulsive post gym sesh) I spotted the mothership! L'Oreal Infallible Matte Foundation shining up at me, I could almost hear it crying out to me 'Please buy me mother of dragons" (whoops I mean mother of makeup) and I of course became weak at the knees and gave in!

Now firstly there are a few differences in the product branding and packaging and for good measure I have summarised them below!
- In Australia and the United Kingdom it is called L'Oreal Infallible 24H Matte instead of L'Oreal Infallible Pro Matte (as seen in the US).
- The packaging is different, as pictured in the photo below the Australian packaging is longer and more slender than the US packaging - but still features the same handy squeeze tube style applicator and the same black/white/red branding.

- The 24H Matte shades are different to the Pro Matte shades. For example in the US Pro Matte I am matched to the shade 106 Sun Beige but in the Australian 24H Matte I am between shades 22 Radiant Beige and 30 Honey (the latter for when I'm wearing self tanner)

I was unsure as to whether the 24H Matte and my previously purchased Pro Matte were going to be the same product so today I conducted a little science experiment - On the left side of my face I applied the 24H Matte and on the right the Pro Matte. After 10 hours of wear and experimentation with both products I can confidently 100% say that they are indeed the exact same foundation - which as you can imagine makes me extremely happy indeed!!
