L'Oreal Colour Riche Eye-shadow Palette Review(UK Version)

Hi Everyone! Today im going to be reviewing the L'Oreal Colour Riche Eye-shadow Palette ,the beige version! I know this came out back in 2015(not to long ago :) but I got this palette for Christmas and I have used it ever since! I think that eye-shadow palettes you can buy from the drug store now are so amazing and there are so many to choose from!

I know that some people have been saying that £14.99 for a drug store eye-shadow palette is quite pricey since its drug store.I sort of agree with this statement too.However I had an offer with it which came with the telescopic mascara and the super liner! I also just wanted to say that I think that there are different versions of the palette in Europe and America and I believe that the American palette is bigger(correct me if im wrong in the comments below).I thought it would be a good idea to do a review on the European version since most reviews are based on the American version.


Lets start of with the packaging:
I think that the packaging is really good! Its quite slim and its a great palette to take travelling.Adding to that,the colour of it is quite simple, just black with gold lettering on the top of the palette.The back of the palette shows how the inside of the palette looks.Inside the palette it has a reasonably sized mirror which ,like I said,is really good for travelling!






















 I also forgot to mention that this palette comes with a small eye-shadow/blending brush and a sponge tip on the other side.Personally I think this brush is pretty decent since most brushes that come with a product arent really that useful.However I occasionally use this as I dont have an extensive collection of eye-shadow brushes! I have also washed this twice and it doesn't shed so thats a bonus :)


















Finally the part you have probably been waiting for: The swatches!!

I think that the pigmentation of these eye-shadows are really great and they are so easy to blend in.This eye-shadow palette comes with 5 shimmery shades and 5 matte shades.If you're a fan of matte shades this is definitely the palette for you,as the matte shades are quite light but once you build up your eye-shadow it gives a really nice effect!

The shimmery shades in the palette also work in the same way,the more you add the better the effect.Overall the pigmentation is sort of light/medium but like I said ,the more you build it up the richer the colour!



As you can see I've used it quite alot!!























The swatches above are in order so the first hand swatch is the first 4 eye shadows.The second hand swatch is the next 4 and the last is the 2 last shades which are matte.

If you wanted these eye shadows to last longer I think it would be a good idea to use a primer, like the Urban Decay primer potion. I feel like the darker colours which tend to be the matte colours last longer than the shimmery ones,but other than that this palette is amazing! Its definitely worth £14.99.If you want to get it a bit cheaper, Asos have it on sale right now for £10.49.

Thats it for today's blogpost! Let me know if you would like any more reviews on makeup products,books,films etc


Until next time.......
