Overall Thoughts:

The Loreal Paris Colour Riche Monos Eyeshadow Collection made their debut on December 2015. There are currently 15 shades in the collection that have either a matte or shimmer finish. So far, I have purchased four to try them out and review before purchasing more. I found them the cheapest at Bed Bath and Beyond plus I put that 20% coupon to good use. The formulation is simply elegant. It is a gel to powder that is just smooth and buttery to touch that applies extremely well. To date, I have used the Colour Riche Monos Eyeshadow in 201 - Little Beige Dress as a transition shade, a brow bone highlight, to set my eyeshadow primer, and an all over the lid for that natural no makeup look. Not only are they affordable and come in a cute sleek package but they have an extremely high quality for an eyeshadow being sold at the drug store. Little Beige Dress was very pigmented, blendable, and semi-buildable for being a nude tone close to the color of my skin without it being that chalky white beige I despise. There was no smell detected in the pan. I actually used this color today for a minimalist look all over the eyelid with a primer and paired it with a bold red lip that took me from brunch in the morning to a late track meet. I was in the sun all day and the color did not crease. It began to slightly fade at the 10 hour mark. The only negatives that I am like meh whatever about are the fact that there is some slight fall out and that the package is not ideal for traveling. I prefer a palette when traveling. The snap enclosure can be a bit tricky but that seems to be somewhat a common theme these days. Final verdict: I think I need the other 11 shades.

Repurchase: Yes
