L'Oreal One Sweep Eye Shadow



The L'Oreal One Sweep Eye Shadow seemed perfect for my first post as it's doesn't get lazier (and easier) than this!

Simply put, this is a compact of one shadow with three colours, an applicator and a mirror under the applicator, that purports to create a smokey eye with one sweep (well, two, if you want to do both eyes.)

It's pretty easy. You swipe the wand across the shadow on each side and one side for each eye. Presto, in five seconds you're done.

I bought it in 808 Smoky for Brown Eyes and 809 Natural for Brown Eyes and it's pretty excellent. The Natural is a bit less.....grey.....and therefore, nicer. Bit shimmery for daytime but a perfect look for evening.

PROS:
Easy as pie.
No brushes.
No pots to mess about with.
Comes with a mirror.
I was able to clean the applicator just with soap and water and it held up.

CONS:
It takes a couple tries for you to get your eyes to be evenly applied - unless you're ambidextrous. But I imagine you'd have this same problem with regular shadow. You just have a bit less control over the applicator here.

Here's hoping they keep making this one. http://www.target.com/p/L-Oreal-Studio-Secrets-One-Sweep-Eyeshadow-Collection-Smoky-for-Brown-Eyes/-/A-13521061
