L'Oreal Color Appeal....Appeals to Me!

As much as I love my designer eye-shadows, nothing gives me a greater kick than finding a high-street product that gives the 'spensive brands a run for their money!

Enter, the L'Oreal Color-Appeal Trio Pro eye-shadow range, which has been created to enhance specific eye-colours. Each kit contains three shades (light, medium and dark) which are best applied with a good eye-shadow brush, rather than the sponge applicators provided. Each shadow is numbered, for fool-proof application, and there is even an instruction guide on the reverse to help you achieve a perfect look!

If you have BLUE eyes, check out the #303 Beige Taupe (review below) trio or #337 Sapphire Crystal:









If you have BROWN eyes, check out the gorgeous #333 Toffee Crystal palette, or, the #340 Plum Crystal palette which is designed for darker eyes too.









HAZEL eyes will pop with #317 Honey Brown:

And GREEN eyes look great with #319 Golden Green:

Last, but by no means least, if your eyes are GREY, the pretty pastels in #316 Platinum Rose will give a pretty warmth:

Caroline's Review:
I purchased the Beige Taupe Trio form my local Boots store about a month ago and I can honestly say it is now my most-used eyeshadow set for creating a day look! Though it is specifically designed for blue eyes, it is probably the most versatile of the selections as the shimmery champagnes will lighten and brighten any eye colour.
  • I was extremely impressed the the quality of the palette:
  • The shadows are easy to apply (always use a good eye-shadow brush and not those sponge applicators!).
  • They are highly pigmented which means that you don't have to use a tonne of product to achieve your desired look.
  • Critically, though the shadows have a subtle shimmer, the powder doesn't leave a residue on your nose/cheeks!
  • Finally, and most importantly, they are long-lasting (helped undoubtedly by the fact that I always use an eye-shadow primer under my eye make-up).
I am very pleased to recommend these eye-shadows. They are great value for money at €11.04 (price may vary depending on supplier) and this palette in particular would suit all ages.


Yours in style,
Caroline
