L'oreal Paris Color Riche Ombre Pure Eye-shadow Review

Welcome and a big hello to all you beauties,

Since the time L'oreal has brought up their new eye-shadow range in the market, I was eyeing this new collection with vivid variety of colors and textures. This time L'oreal has categorized the eye-shadows in 3 genres, namely, Luminere, Chameleon and Smoky.

And just when I thought of buying them, I received a packet from L'oreal Paris Team with (OMG!) the new eye-shadows from L'oreal Color Riche Ombre Pure collection. Guess What....one of the shades was exactly what I wanted. Anyways, the two eye-shadows are in the color gold (#500 gold mania) from the luminere genre and a beautiful olive/khaki green color (#305 Kaki Repstyle) from smoky genre.

So off I go to test these two gel-infused newbie eye-shadows....

At first, I was thrilled to see how good pigmented both the eye-shadows were. Pic below!

Secondly, the soft and creamy texture of the eye-shadows makes the application way easier and not even a tiny bit of fallout in case of gold mania eye-shadow. However, a little bit in case of khaki color was observed. The fallout in case of khaki color might lie on the light powdery consistency of the eye-shadow. The eye-shadow is, however, nicely pressed into the pot and the powdery consistency is observed only while applying the eye-shadow with the brush. These eye-shadows can be applied dry as well as wet and it works really great both ways, though the color intensity improves when applied wet. 

However, I find that the Lumiere range, works best when applied with fingers or applied heavily with a dense flat brush. 

Also, I suggest using a eye base/primer just to enhance the effect and increase the longevity of eye-shadow and avoids creasing. In fact, even after wearing the eye-shadows (obviously with a base!) for about 10 hours, I didn't observe any sort of creasing. 

The wonderful gold color (#500) gives a very bright and vibrant eyes with a decent bit of shimmer. This quality is makes it good for the it's application on the inner eyelid and the khaki eye-shadow (#305) then comes to the outer half of the eyelid or for outer-V corner of the eye. Both the colors are consistent with each other and can be blended to obtain a full eye make-up. ;-)

I am totally satisfied with both the eye-shadows but my mega favorite is the gold mania (#500). It's the "KILLER" for me and the best gold eye-shadow that I ever had so far. It's not over glittery but has a right amount of shimmer and ideally is great for party looks as well as for all day look, when you just want to look a little alive and make your eyes open! 

Each of the above mentioned category has variety of colors ranging from warm neutrals, to pinks-peaches and bright indigo. For the price of ca. 7€, they are definitely not the cheapest but worth the price considering at the outcome. I would definitely explore the other colors & chameleon genre as well. Hopefully would be able to add some more to my collection ;-)

Hope this review helps!

Until my next review... KEEP SMILING :-)
