Overall, I love these shadows and I'm glad I got them. They are amazing colors and look great on my skin. Being pale, they still very much stand out, but not enough to make me look like a clown (which is a good thing!). I love them and can wear them out for any occasion. And who doesn't love a little shimmer in their lives? If you got the extra points or just want some amazing shadows, these are a must add for your cart,

Pros
Easy to use, amazing colors, travel friendly
Cons
Pricey, can easy fall over your cheeks if not careful.
The Monet Rollerball Eyeshadow set is a very stylish way to get quick, sexy eyes with little amount of time. Not all of us have time to get out our pallets, find that little brush lost somewhere within our makeup bag and apply the shades every morning. These four little tubes are topped with a nice rollerball to allow quick and even application without needing a brush.
Being makeup, this s targeted towards the female population. With it's price, I do not know if I would be willing to spend that much on a child, but if so they are more than welcome to play along with mommy. With it's rich and shimmery colors, you can wear them just about anywhere. Add just one color for a simple look towards your eyes for just going to the store and running around, or layer them for a wonderful brown/pink smokey eye for any night out with the girls.
No allergy concerns stand out to my knowledge. I myself have sensitive skin and I can still use these with no worries. There's even a good bit of eye liners I cannot use because they hurt my eyes. This is not the case here.
The shadows themselves have a texture slightly thicker than normal powder eye shadows. It is in no way a moist powder, but it does come out thicker. When applying, you are welcome to blend the colors with your finger tips. In doing so, you can feel its soft powder on your skin. After you have applied it, you can barely tell it's even there, by the feel not the look.
Unlike cream eyeshadows, these feel more natural and you do not feel it clumping and sticking on your eyelids as you blink. You will not see it smudging and creasing like a lot do either. This shadow does stay in place and lasts.
The rollerball makes it very easy to apply. One problem though is you have to be careful. If it is shaken too much, some will fall out when you open the cap. I suggest opening with the cap facing up. And slowly apply. Do not shake out a whole lot or you will have it down your cheeks. Just simply apply lightly and tip over and shake lightly once to get more on the ball to roll on.
Being eyeshadow, I do not suggest eating this. Why the review has this option for this product I have no idea. It has no scent that I am aware of, and I'm not getting close enough to smell since I for one do not like snorting eyeshadow. I've not tasted it, but I'm assuming it tastes like powdered eyeshadow. Again, please do not eat this product.
When I first got my product, I was very unhappy. I opened it and saw the size and was thinking "Really? That's all?". But after trying it on, I in no way minded. After managing the rollerball so it did not fall down my cheek, this shadow goes on so smooth and easily and looks great, too.
Even just the simple pink stayed on my eyes all day. They go on thick enough that you can clearly see the colors, but not too much to where you cannot layer and look like a clown. When you do want to layer, you can either just apply one at a time and let it go, or you can also use you finger tip to blend even more. Both look great.
When it comes to taking it off, you can simply follow your normal routine for washing your face and it will come off just the same as normal eye shadow. You can actually even lick a napkin and wipe it off as well.
My favorite thing about it is the look of the shadow. I love the colors and who doesn't love shimmer in their life? It looks great and makes me feel great.
They do come a pack of four colors. Luna which is a white and actually stands out on your skin, even if you are pale' Pretty Pink which is a nice warm pink color; Left Bank which is a darker brown coppery color; and Halo which is a nice warm copper color.
When the product arrived, it came in a little box holding 4 little tubes. For some reason, I thought they would be bigger than that, but they weren't. They are about the size of a chapstick each. However, the eyeshadow only needs a little bit to go a long way, so we don't really need bigger tubes. The smaller tubes made it very nice for travel and they do not leak everywhere when closed.
Here's a photo showing how I normally use the eye shadow and how nicely it blends. For this photo, I only lightly used my finger for the Halo color.
Someone was wondering how just the darker shade (Left Bank) looked on the whole eye. So here is a photo of that. For this one, I did use my finger to blend out a little.
Follow-up commentaryI still like it2 months after original review
I still love these! I use them all the time. They are very simple and handled right you do not get it all over your face. I tap it all down away from the roller ball before used and shake over once to roll on a little at a time and it doesn't fall down my cheeks. Great gift!
