Lancome recently released 10 new eyeshadow quints (Color Design Eye Brightening All-In-One Five Shadow & Liner Palette, if you must know). I have to say, these palettes are fantastic. Texture and pigmentation are wonderful — and best of all, the palettes are permanent to the collection.
Each palette is $48.
100 Taupe Craze features a matte ballerina white-pink, a shimmery iced African violet, a matte purply-brown, a frosty bright white-violet (more white and more blue than the second shade), and a matte mole grey-brown.
101 Bronze Amour includes a shimmery peach, a frosty copper, a low(er)-shimmer bronze, a shimmery sheer yellow gold, and a warm, very dark brown shimmer with sparkles.
200 Coral Crush includes a softly shimmery, light, warm, carnation pink, a softly shimmery pink coral, a satin dark-chocolate brown, a shimmery purple-pink-beige, and a very dark (almost black) brown with sparkles.
201 Pink Envy features a satin purple-pink with gold sparkles, a reflective, sheeny, satin medium pink, a shimmery charcoal, a frosty, semi-sheer white, and a blue-purple shimmer with tiny pink and blue sparkles.
202 Sienna Sultry includes a matte dusty pink, a satin bubblegum pink, a satin (ashy) wood brown, a frosty ginger (or pumpkin?), and a very, very dark brown with sparkles.
300 Amethyst Glam contains a shimmery pale purple, an electric violet with blue sparkles, a sheerish blue-purple with very fine golden sparkles, a pale lilac with silver sparkles, and a vivid blue-purple with blue sparkles.
301 Mauve Cherie offers a shimmery pink-champagne beige, a satin violet, a matte dusty purple, a shimmery purple-sand, and a satin black.
400 Teal Fury includes a shimmery white-pink/purple, a shimmery lagoon aqua, a matte dusty sky blue, a shimmery turquoise, and a nautical matte dark greened-blue.
401 Midnight Rush contains a satin white, a shimmery denim blue, a sheer blue-grey, a sparkly, shimmery blue-grey-silver, and a matte black.
500 Jade Fever features a shimmery golden sand, a yellow-green shimmer, a deeper foresty green shimmer, a semi-sheer golden oyster-white, and a deep, very blackened, forest green shimmer with sparkles.
I have Coral Crush, Sienna Sultry, and Taupe Craze which I understand is the number one best seller of the collection. A certain young, popular blogger has complained about a lack of pigmentation and longevity, but I have not found that to be the case. I apply my eye shadows over Kanebo’s eyelid base and have had absolutely no problem with lack of color, fading, or creasing. These are lovely and versatile palettes that are a bargain at $48.
These swatches look great….I am loving bronze amour and taupe craze.
i have midnight rush and love. how can you go wrong with these? they are pigmented, blend well, and after 12 hrs are still on @end of day (i used primer but still worth it imo)
Oh my gosh, the pigmentation on most of the look awesome! I think I want one quint from each arm, haha! There goes $250!
I have Taupe Craze and will definitely be purchasing another one or two! Great quality and decent price!
Well, the swatches confirm that I need Taupe Craze, haha. I’m glad these are permanent! I like the looks of Mauve Cherie and Jade Fever as well.
I knew had to visit Karla’s arm before I put these in my cart
I was on the fence w/ jade fever, but decided to get it due to the swatch here. Now, I want almost all of them. I think they are nicely pigmented and creamy dreamy.
