Products:
These L'Oreal Colour Riche Monos Eye Shadows I've picked up are the matte formula to try out. After just swatching the one tester of 200 Paris Beach I new I needed to get more matte shades. This is an almost cream like eyeshadow but unlike all the other gel hybrids this one works in the pan without drying out! I've seen other brand being able to pull this off with shimmery shades (first Yaby, than Makeup Geek), but the matte version seemed to be impossible. The shade although matt seems to shave a light sheen to them but not to the level of a full satin either.

Now these mattes are soo smooth to work with, I've used the shade Paris Beach and Cafe Au Lait on the face for contour and highlighting and they are better than some of my sculpting powders that are designed for the job. *_*

Mademoiselle Pink as a shade looked like blush a fairy in a cartoon would wear. lol No flattering in that application, just too light for me. ;)

Verdict:

I LOVE this formula. It's a surprising kick off for the Start of 2016 new drugstore offering but it soo good, I'm shocked I haven't seen this formula from other brands in general. I love that it's multi-use because of the formula is perfect and I don't have to worry about it drying out.

Now I've only reviewed here 3 matte shades from the full range of 15. But I've heard nothing but good things from the shimmer/metallic shades as well.
