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 :-)

Conclusion

The highlight of this box for me is definitely the Merz Spezial beauty talent and have started using it. Hopefully I'll observe some definite changes. I have already been using Rival de Loop wash gel for quite sometime and recommend it whole heartedly. It the best wash gel in my eyes apart from the one from essence. Nonique is the brand that I don't know and would like to test this herbal product. The eye-shadow and shower gel are other  useful products that one can  require anytime. The mascara, have heard a lot of positive reviews, so it belongs to my make-up collection and eager to test it too. The packaging is truly eye-catching. :-* The  perfume is the only thing that I wouldn't invest my money in and would gift to my friend or someone. Unfortunately, I couldn't relate to its odor and don't think it identifies completely to what it claims.

Overall, I am deeply satisfied with the range of product provided in the box. I could apparently use all of them in a good way. At this moment, I would like to thank Rossmann for their efforts for bringing out such an interesting, lovely and useful box. Three cheers to Rossmann!! :-*
