Color Commentary:

The Loreal Paris Colour Riche Monos Eyeshadow in 201 - Little Beige Dress is a beige nude with a pink undertone in a matte finish.

Chart Review:

Pros	Cons
No smell Very pigmented Great transition shade Great brow bone highlight Perfect for setting the primer Blendable Affordable Semi-buildable Lightweight Cute sleek packaging Smooth application Powder to gel texture Does not crease Long wearing: about 10 hours Amazing quality for a drug store brand	Slight fall out Not ideal for travel Snap enclosure can be a bit tricky

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

Color Commentary:

The Milani Cosmetic's Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadow in 22 - Bella Gold is described as a 'gold metallic sheen'. It is a bright, warm medium-gold in a shimmery metallic finish. 

Chart Review:

Pros

Cons

Cruelty Free Vegan No smell Gel to powder formulation provides for smooth texture application Beautiful color Lightweight Blendable Buildable Cute packaging for a drug store brand Affordable Good pigmentation dry but great intense pigmentation if used with primer or wet with MAC fix plus When used dry the coverage is more sheer versus when used wet the coverage is more opaque Shimmer finish if used dry but an intense metallic finish when used wet Works best when used with either a synthetic brush or your finger to pack on Glitter is not chunky but finely milled  No creasing Long-wearing: 7.5 hours before fading True to color description Milani Cosmetics does offer an exchange if purchased product through their website

Packaging can be a bit bulky for traveling  Packaging can be hard to open if you don't have nails or use a tweezer The color looks glittery in the pan  A little bit of fallout was experienced if not applied by wetting your brush or using your finger. This formula does not work well with most brushes.  Milani Cosmetics does not ship international you would have to go through a third party vendor.

Overall Thoughts:

I am living for the Milani Cosmetics' Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadow formulation. As you can see the pros severely outweigh the cons by a lot. There are 31 shades in the collection available. Bella Gold is a gorgeous gold color that definitely will give your eye that pop of color. The gel to powder formulation allows for a flawless lightweight application that looks more intensely opaque when used with a dampened synthetic brush. If you do decide to use this color dry, you will experience some fall out and more sheer coverage. Either way you will still get great pigmentation. Do not be intimidated by the glitter in the pan because the glitter is very finely milled. The formulation is very blendable and buildable. I did not experience any creasing throughout the 7.5 hours I wore 22 - Bella Gold before noticing any fading. Let us not forget that these eyeshadows are extremely affordable at the drugstore which can be marked down even more with coupons. Yes, the snap enclosure can be a bit tricky and the packaging can be bulky for traveling but overall these shadows are must for everyone. 

Repurchase: Yes

Color Commentary:

The Milani Cosmetics' Color Statement Lipstick in 31 - Bronze Beauty is described as a 'bronze with gold shimmer'. It is a warm, gold metallic bright coppery bronze. 

Chart Review:

Pros	Cons
Cruelty Free Watermelon smell Beautiful packaging  Color true to swatch and color selection on the back of the tube Great Pigmentation The shimmer does not settle into the fine lines on the lips Smooth Application Buildable No feathering Lightweight Recommend for a night time look	Color does transfer  Color can smudge  Slight staining of the lips If you are sensitive to smell or don't like the smell of watermelon then this is not for you Packaging can get dirty with fingerprints Not for an everyday look Not as moisturizing as the other ones I own in my collection

Overall Thoughts:

The Milani Cosmetics' Color Statement Lipstick collection has 32 different available shades online. We are on a treasure hunt to find them in stores which tends to be a bit difficult so we will probably end up just ordering the rest online to review the whole collection for you. The Color Statement Lipstick in 31 - Bronze Beauty is one of those colors that when you take the top off you admire how pretty it looks but feel that the color won't do you any justice. Bronze Beauty does apply very smoothly and is very pigmented after you apply a few times to build up the coverage. If you love a metallic shimmer finish on your lips, then this shade is a definite must. It was very true to color shade on the bottom of the lipstick tube and swatch. The gold shimmer does not settle into fine line but is not as moisturizing as the other shades in this collection. I did not experience any feathering and the lipstick was very lightweight. There was some color transfer and smudging that I encountered while eating and drinking. I did notice a slight stain when I went to remove the lipstick. In my opinion, I feel Bronze Beauty is not for an everyday look but more for a night on the town type of look. On my initial lip application, I thought Bronze Beauty would be too dark for me but as the day wore on the color grew on me. It lasted about 5 hours before I had to reapply but I think that is due to its metallic shimmer finish that tends to fade with wear. I did notice a watermelon smell so if you do not like the smell of watermelon or are too sensitive to smell I would not recommend this for you.

Repurchase: Maybe - the color grows on you

Chart Review:

Pros

Cons

Cruelty Free Hypoallergenic Paraben Free Gluten Free Dermatologist approved Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers No smell detected Great pigmentation - can be made more intense if used wet All the shades were buildable with intense pigmentation minus the brown black and pale nude ones that were patchy at first but after a few passes the coverage was better Can create a lot of versatile looks Lightweight Smooth Application Texture is not powder but no really gel/liquid

Only ship to the USA and Puerto Rico No matte shades in palette Rough textured sponge applicatior that applies the eyeshadow pretty patchy A bit of fall out and glitter transfer if not used wet Do not recommend using these shadows dry you'll end up with a chunky/creasy mess Don't know why they would promise up to 24 hour wear time - I got about 7 hours before the shades began to fade

Overall Thoughts:

The Physicians Formula's Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Extreme Shimmer Shadow and Liner 2016 Collection comes in six different palette shades. There are six different shadows in the palette that are meant to be divided into two trios. Each trio will give you a different eye look. There is a description on the back of the cardboard box it comes in that explains to you how the shadows should be applied to the eye which in theory sounds great. I just would not recommend using these shadows all over the eye lid in conjunction with one another. I also do not recommend using these dry or with the angled sponge tip applicator that comes with the palette because this will give you a chunky/creasy look. Don't get me wrong I do love the pops of color because they are extremely pigmented when used wet with MAC fix plus and packed on to the lid. I do wish there was a matte shade included in each of the trios for a more complete look because then I would recommend this to be part of your travel makeup bag. The Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Extreme Shimmer Shadow and Liner in 6633 Bronze Nude has a great everyday range of neutrals with a random pop of aqua which I personally don't mind since it is my favorite color. You can take your look from day time to night time with a versatile of different looks. The texture of the eyeshadow is not a power but would not consider it a gel or liquid. The shadows do apply smoothly and are lightweight. There was no scent detected. 

Repurchase: Yes only if on sale but only cause I feel like I have a lot of shadows in my collection that are very similar
