Monet rollerball eyeshadow set - eye shadow discontinued by Bella Il Fiore - review by oopsy

This delightfully easy-to-use eye shadow is perfect for everyday use or for a night on the town, adding a classy color selection of sexy, shimmery powders. Roll on these colors in any combination, without having to worry about mixing up the colors. These definitely have a flashy look, but with muted, neutral tones that keep it from getting out of hand. Great for keeping in a purse or for applying on the go. It rolls on lightly, or thick after gently tapping the bottom. It does tend to sprinkle down a bit on your check while rolling on, but even this can be gently worked in for a really sexy and shimmery bronzer. Sometimes I even enjoy using this shadow wide around my eyes for a light misty sheen, wonderfully light and long lasting shimmery.This delightfully easy-to-use eye shadow is perfect for everyday use or for a night on the town, adding a classy color selection of sexy, shimmery powders.

Bella's eyeshadow is an ultra fine powder that floats onto your eyes, and puffs in little colorful, dusty clouds all over your eyes. This powder is soft, smooth, and like most glitter and sparkle, long lasting by sticking to your skin. It feels very light and fresh on your skin, it washes off with just a splash of water, so it isn't sticky or heavy feeling at all. It applies easily to the eyes, but if it's the start of the roller on the eye, it does tend to splash on really thick. If you simply roll in onto your eyelids, it will provide a tint and a light sheen, it you roll it over two or three times, provided it is sticking to the roller ball inside the tube (about 75% of the time) it will apply thicker to your eyes, leaving noticeable color, and some glisten, due to the natural mica in the shadow.

These eye shadows have no smell, and I sadly have not tasted them. They look delicious, like a wedding cake.

This eyeshadow lasts for about 8 hours, all the work day, without needing to reapply. My only concern is that the roller ball is fickle. Often it will roll on very thick if it's the first time using it in a while, and then it will not roll at all for a little bit, and you have to run it over your hands just to get it started. But, it does easily pat out, so you don't have to worry about blending too much. It just can be a bit of a pain if it puffs all over your face.

It does clean off very easily; just a bit of warm water will wash most of it away. The rest can be done with a mild soap and a wash cloth. No residue, no scrubbing. It's just a fine powder, and while it does stay on your skin by really sinking into pores an crevices, it washes off just as easily.

While personally, I had no problems whatsoever with this product with my skin or eyes, it does contain several possible irritants that it would be wise to the on the lookout for. Try this product on a small area of your skin before putting it right above your eyes. The ingredients are: Mica, Titanium Dioxide, lIron Oxides, Red 40 Lake, Phenoxyethanol, iEthylhexylglycerin. While Mica, and the Titanium dioxide are natural minerals, commonly used in natural make-ups, they can be irritants. The lake dyes are always a concern, especially that close to your eyes. The others are also manufactures, and should be tested before applying near your eyes if you have other skin sensitivities or allergies.

I love these colors. I think the texture is elegant and beautiful, and the unique 4 color combo allows for creativity and room for expression. They are beautiful, classic, and simple to use, and they look timeless.
