The 15th Annual Latin Grammys took place on November 20th and L’Oréal Paris returned for their 3rd year as their official cosmetic sponsor for the night. Did you guys see Genesis Rodriguez & Chiquinquira Delgado on the red carpet? They looked absolutely beautiful and thanks to L’Oréal Paris, you can re-create those looks yourself!

Genesis wanted a vampy look but with a modern twist and that is exactly what  L’Oréal Paris Pro-Team Artist Rene Lam created. Rene mixed bronze and plum shades to create a subtle smokey eye. For the lips, Rene went burgundy since it complimented Genesis’s dark red dress.

For her hair, L’Oréal Paris Celebrity Hair Stylist Marcos Carrasquillo was inspired by Rihanna’s look at the American Music Awards. He gave her Hollywood Waves but added large bobby pins to not only hold the hair to the side, but accessorize it and made it stand out.

Chiqui wanted a natural look to compliment her beautiful yellow gown and a very classic Hollywood glam hair style. Franz Munoz nailed it by adding brown and nude shades to her eyes and finishing her complete look with romantic loose waves.

L’Oréal Paris Miss Denim Colour Riche Nail Collection

L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Nail Miss Denim Collection Shot

[ From Left to Right ]

Skinny Jeans, Blue My Mind, Jean & Tonic, Vintage Rose, Distressed Turquoise & Indigo Classique

Denim is the ultimate American classic but in 2014, it’s bigger and hotter than ever! Inspired by colored denim, now you can unzip jean couture in a bottle with the latest limited-edition collection from L’Oréal Paris. These unique, denim-ized texture finish nail shades are inspired by bright-colored denim to dress up your 4th of July look. Dressing down is the new dressing up and the fashionistas will be rocking their denim like never before.

The Miss Denim Collection is available for individual purchase at drugstores nationwide until supplies last. (so HURRY up to your local drugstore to pick some up before they are gone!)

I got my hands on 2 of these shades & I am so impressed. Normally – I am not a fan of textured polish but these are really different. They have no shimmer which is a huge plus and they glide on for an easy application. They dry pretty quickly and do not require a top coat BUT I always add a top coat & that did not take away from the textured look at all.

So – what do you think about these shades & the collection in general?  Are you a fan of textured polishes? I have already decided that I absolutely need to get my hands on the Vintage Rose!

Main Polish: L’Oreal Colour Riche Nail Polish in Violet Vixen

I’ve featured this color in a manicure post in the past and I absolutely love the richness of the color as well as the stay power it has.

Main Polish: L’Oreal Colour Riche Nail Polish in Violet Vixen

I love this color! It is more of a plum purple than violet yet it is so bold and stands out. (sorry for the messy clean up around the nail) L’Oreal hit a home run with this collection – the formula of the polish is excellent and I have yet to see it get clumpy after a few uses. I also love the brush and you only need 2 coats to achieve the perfect color. Click HERE to view all the shades available.

I’ve been hearing so much buzz about the L’Oreal Colour Riche Caresse Lipstick that I had to go pick some up to try them out myself.

I decided to go with Violet Chiffon and Cherry Tulle.

Violet Chiffon is a beautiful lavender shade while Cherry Tulle reminds me of a cherry ice.

What I love most about this line is how the formula is basically a mix between a lip stick and a lip gloss. The colors are very buildable and you can go from a slight sheer color to ultra bold in just a few swipes. They are very light weight on the lips, hydrating and moisturzing which is always a plus! I also love the mirror-like packaging which provides easy application if your on the go.
