Oriflame Beauty Mono Eyeshadow Essentials is one of my favorite eyeshadow. I bought them quite a long time ago cause my dear friend, Mys. F., recommended it to me after she tried Midnight Black. The colors I bought are Midnight Black and Deep Denim; they're quite pigmented, and it stays on my eyes for a couple of hours and it sort of spread around my eyelids afterwards (it doesn't smudge and it spreads out nicely). The Midnight Black doesn't look like dark grey like I thought it was going to be (it's pigmented = real black). And the Deep Denim looks like dark purple to me; I thought it was dark blue when I wanted to buy it. But the color turns out great so it's not a total loss after all. : )
The ingredients are:
TALC, MICA, ZINC STEARATE, OCTYDODECYL STEAROYL STEARATE, ISOSTEARYL NEOPENTANOATE, METHYLPARABEN, PROPYLPARABEN, PEG-8, TOCOPHEROL, ASCORBYL PALMITATE, ASCORBYL ACID, CITRIC ACID +/-.
I don’t really know whether my skin color is dark, medium, or light. So what you see is what you get I guess.
You can also use them as eyeliner by using an angle eye brush (apply the eyeshadow on your upper or lower lash line).
I rate these eyeshadow as an Okay Product and I recommend them to beginners out there, if you like bold dark colors like I do. But if not then you can try their nude brown one – Latte (I didn’t bought that one cause it's too nude for me). If you have other opinions on this please do share with us.
