Lola is an eye shadow palette. Eye shadow is meant to be worn on your eyelids to give color, shine, and make them brighten. The purpose of makeup most makeup is to add confidence in your appearance to help make you feel more confident for yourself. We are all unique in our own way and makeup is a way to enhance your uniqueness. Depending on many factors such as skin color, eye color, hair color, and personal preference changes what color is best for you.

I always wear browns, so Lola was my color option. If you are interested you can check out "How to choose the best eye shadow for your eyes", which I thought was an interesting read.

Any makeup of beauty product can have ingredients in them that could cause irritation, so be sure to check the ingredients and it is also recommended you spot test on your wrist before using.

Each Palette has 8 colors inside, but there are three different palette's to pick from, which are Peony, Annabelle, and Lola. This is inside of Lola. These eye shadows feel fine and soft. They go on smooth, but don't seem to have much pigment especially the lighter colors. They stay in place once rubbed in, but be sure to fan off any remaining dust. When you rub the brush inside of the eye shadow you can feel how soft it is, so be careful not to push down to hard. The hard you push on the eye shadow the more dust that will be with it.

I would advise against tasting these eye shadow's, because it might be harmful to your health. When you open the palette there is no smell, but if you put your nose up to the eye shadow it has a powder scent. The smell is not at all over powering and couldn't be noticed without sticking your nose within inches of the palette.

There are 8 colors in every palette each are labelled below the sample. Lola has Trellis, Mistletoe, Veronica, Marigold, Sunflower, Orchid, Poppy, and Petal. These are shown above on my arm. As you can see the light colors are just about as pale as I am, so for me they are just a base color, but they could work well for others. The colors that actually show up are faint, but good enough for use. I find I have to put on a few coats in order to have the desired amount of eye shadow, but I like my color to show. If you like light color to your eyes Lola is a great option for you. The eye shadow will last all day without reapplying. When you are ready to wash it off a wet rag, baby wipe, or shower are the best ways.

I personally love Mistletoe, Veronica, Trellis, and Orchid, so this palette was a good buy for me, but that will vary per person and per palette. I am overall happy with this purchase, but I am not sure I would order it again. I think I will stick with my usual Cover Girl eye shadow.

The palette is 3.5 by 4 inches with eight separate 3/4" wide eye shadows inside and a 3" long brush. The brush in not my ideal brush, so you might want to purchase separate ones. The palette is pink with flowers one it and marked with a Bella IL Liore symbol.
