L'oreal One Sweep Eyeshadow Review

As some of you may know I received the L'oreal One Sweep eyeshadow to review, the thought behind the eyeshadow is to apply all three colors in one sweep with the curved applicator brush included in the compact. 

The one sweep eyeshadow was designed to eliminate the need to apply the three steps in normal eyeshadow application, which includes: a highlight color, crease color and lid color. These are my thoughts...

I received the Playful palette for brown eyes.
The curved applicator brush, the colors swipe on the brush exactly as they are seen in the palette.

PRODUCT CLAIMS

"The unique applicator is designed to fit your eye shape to define, color and highlight your eyes in one easy sweep. The beautifully coordinated shadows come in natural or playful palettes expertly designed to enhance your eye color. Discover your stunning look!"

HOW TO USE IT?

1. Fit curve of applicator  to the curve of the powder. Apply darkest shade closest to the lash line. Sweep down.
2.Sweep across right eyelid.
3. Apply powder to the opposite side of the applicator and sweep across the left eyelid.


 PROS

-The palette comes with three colors that are coordinated.
-The price ($9) is inexpensive for the three colors that you receive, it's like paying $3 for each shadow.
-The palettes are coordinated for every eye color.
-Convenient size that fits easily in to your cosmetic bag, purse or pocket.

THE RESULT

What do you think?
MY THOUGHTS

Although the thought behind the one sweep eyeshadow sounds really impressive, it doesn't deliver up to my expectations. I would have loved to eliminate the need of figuring out what colors to wear and eliminating the (often) time consuming need of applying three separate eyeshadows but this product just does not live up to it's claim.

As you can see in the picture, it looks like I only applied one eyeshadow instead of three shadows. I applied an eye base and I followed the directions on the palette and I did two sweeps, (the palette claims to only need 1 sweep) and still ended up with this result.

On a positive note, the shadows are perfectly coordinated colors which I will keep in my collection,  but I will just apply them individually.  The pigmentation of the shadows were so-so, I think that if I apply the shadows wet it will deliver a better intense color.

What were your thoughts on this product when you saw it advertised? Do you think you will try it?

Wow I was looking at this product at the store but I remembering trying those Avon strips that was very similar and the product didnt lay on the skin most was still left on the paper it came on. The eyeshadow looks good but yet it dont look like 3 colors looks like you blended 2 but not sure if I would buy it.

I remember those Avon strips, my mother had the nerve to tell me that I should include them in my makeup kit :/ lol... Yeah, the shadow was a bit disappointing but I do like the colors though.

I was also interested in this product, but I have to agree with CocoagirlD. It looks like a couple of shades as opposed to the three distinct shades in the print ad.

Mac Face and Body Foundation Review

One of my most used foundations is the Mac Face and Body liquid foundation. I've been promising a  review on it, so here it is. Product Claims "A water-based, water-resistant foundation that provides long-lasting, natural coverage for face and/or body. Ideal for all skin types. Face and Body Foundation provides sheer, natural looking coverage in an easy to blend, water-resistant formula. The long-lasting formula is available in a wide range of colours and contains several emollients to help moisturize and condition the skin. It delivers professional looking results that meet the exacting standards of beauty photography and is ideal for perfecting the face and body." Pros -Price is $32.50 retail and about $19 if you're a Mac pro card member (That could be a con based on your finances). -For the price you pay it gives you a lot of foundation. It's in a 4 fl oz bottle. -Because it's water based it doesn't feel heavy, it feels very light on the face. ...

Well-Being: A Better Night's Sleep

  Hello, Dolls A good night's sleep is something I've been chasing after for years. Like many people, my nights can be chaotic. Not to mention, I've been suffering with insomnia for years, yes years.     It takes me a while to unwind and fall asleep, and when I finally do, I wake up several times throughout the night. I’ve taken several sleep aids and remedies through the years. I've tried teas, linen sleep sprays, over the counter and prescription aids, and almost every lavender night time product out there. Some were helpful at first, but after a while, I think my body got immune to it. So, I was very curious when Highline Wellness gifted me a bottle of their CBD Night gummies. I was skeptical at first, but they’re really working for me.  The melatonin helps you to fall asleep, and CBD helps you to stay asleep. I’m able to fall asleep faster, and stay asleep longer. An added benefit is I don’t wake up the next morning experiencing grogginess like I’ve felt with ot...

Update & My Current Beauty Faves

Hey, Glamour Dolls! How are you all?! Long time no post...it feels good to finally write something on here. What's been going on with me? Just life. I've been busy and focused on a few things; which has been leaving me drained and given me a lack of desire to do anything else. Things have been all work and no play for a while and I'm finally getting my balance back again (sigh of relief!). Thankfully, I go on vacation in a few weeks. I hope to write a few more posts before I leave :-) As far as beauty news, I have been using products in my own stash-I have bought a few things here and there and I did purchase a big haul from a Mac Pro class I took the beginning of October (more about that in another post). Here are some of my faves that I've been using constantly using since the last time I posted. KISSABLE COUTURE GLOSSES I bought these glosses at The Makeup Show back in May and I've been loving them every since. The glosses are really long wea...
