Product of the month - L'oreal Paris Color Appeal Eyeshadow in Quartz Rose


If you remember the post I did for the ELF Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in French Lace a while back, you must already know that I love shimmery eyeshadows and I usually use only one eyeshadow for everyday makeup. In the morning I don't have much time to do my makeup so it must be something quick and you know a girl has to have some shimmer before leaving the house! 


This shade looks a bit darker in the tube than it actually is. In reality, it's a rose champagne shade with shimmer of course and velvety texture. 

I usually don't prefer single eyeshadows because I find it difficult to search for the one you are looking for in your drawer and I prefer eyeshadow palettes, but when I saw this one, I knew I had to have it. I love these rose shimmery shades so much and this one is not a disappointment.


This eyeshadow applies smoothly and blends nicely, leaving a lovely rose colour on the eyelid and a nice shimmer. Just the right amount you need for an everyday look.  If I am wearing this on a night out (I haven't yet), I may apply more to give definition and emphasize the colour. Also, it blends nicely and of course, I am not using the little brush that comes with this eyeshadow, I never use these small brushes because I find it impossible to work and blend my eyeshadow using a brush like this. 

The packaging is a plastic one that I really don't like and also, I always have a hard time opening it. It is so difficult to open it and takes some effort, however, I am afraid to put my whole energy in case I drop it and break it.

  1. Oh, I love this shade! I don't have actually any one colour shadows for the same reason you listed, it's hard to find others that would be a good combination. :)

  7. That colour is so gorgeous, really natural! I love colours like that and orangey tones because I have blue eyes so it really makes them pop. I am so happy to have come across your blog too, keep up your wonderful work lovely! x

  10. I remember eyeing this one up in Boots not long ago! The shade is absolutely gorgeous, and I dunno why I think it would really work as a blush! :) Such a fab pick, hun, thank you for sharing! I don't personally have a favourite mono eyeshadow, as I only tend to buy palettes. The cranberry shade from Zoeva's Cocoa Blend palette has to be up there though when it comes to my all-time fav shades! Kisses. xoxo <3

  22. I am like you, I dislike single eyeshadows as I find it hard to look for them and to mix and match so I always go for palettes. That said, I am in love with my L'oreal Inflallible eyeshadow in Amber Rush, it's a stunning rose gold.

  29. I haven't explored with L'oreal eyeshadows enough! That's a really pretty colour to wear alone and on a casual daily basis! Hm, I don't think I have any single eyeshadows actually! I do love this sephora baked eyeshadow trio that I bought a few years ago, fantastic formulation!

  32. Such a pretty shade & it sounds like the quality is great! It's a shame that the packaging is so hard to open. I'll probably pass on it just for that reason. I can't risk hurting myself for the sake of opening an eyeshadow! Xx
