L'Oréal Colour Riche Mono Eyeshadow Review + Swatches

Hey Everyone!

Today, I am reviewing L'Oréal's Colour Riche Mono eyeshadows! Here in Canada, they are relatively new to drugstores. I have heard a lot about this product on YouTube! I definitely wanted to try these eyeshadows out after I saw how beautiful they swatched. When I went to purchase these eyeshadows, they were almost sold out at my local London Drugs. Unfortunately, I was only able to purchase four neutral shades.

L'Oréal Colour Riche Mono Eyeshadow

#200 Paris Beach

#201 Little Beige Dress

#206 Mademoiselle Pink

#207 Pain au Chocolate

Swatches

From Left to Right: #207. #201, #206, #200

Pros:

long wearing formula
creamy yet matte texture - creamy powder eyeshadow
opaque pigmentation
great eyeshadow base or to blend out colour
range of shade is nice
lighter shades are fantastic for highlighting
metallic shades create this glistening eyelid - gorgeous in photos!
packaging is sleek and classy
travel friendly - small and easily fit into a makeup bag
do not crease on the lid, if used with a eyeshadow primer

Cons:

I prefer eye shadows in a palette but I still enjoy these
wish they had a mirror
price - $6-7, depending where you purchase them from
do not layer well on top of each other well
can crease a bit if not using an eyeshadow primer
packaging shows fingerprints and loose shadow more

Overall, I suggest trying these out for yourself! i always use the two lighted shades, #200 and #206, as browbone or inner corner highlights. They blend beautifully and add lots of dimension to my eyeshadow. The perfect all over lid shade is #201, as it evens out my skin tone on my eye lid. It may appear darker on my swatch but on my lid, it is the perfect shade! As you can see, I have used these a lot, hence the powdery appearance on the packaging. However, this product is still worth trying out, especially if you are in the market for new eyeshadows to play with!
