Review 3 for COLOR DESIGN - Sensational Effects Eye Shadow Smooth Hold
Great eye shadow
-04.07.13
Quick Take: a real keeper., my companion whenever i travel.
I like its texture. It stays put all day long if you wear eye primer and it could be casual or dressy. I wear contacts and I do not have any problem with it, as oppose to other eye shadows. A little bit goes a long way. I am not changing this product for any other. We will be together for a long time.

Review 4 for COLOR DESIGN - Sensational Effects Eye Shadow Smooth Hold
Beautiful Eyeshadow!!
-01.16.13
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, crease resistant, smooth application, long wearing
I have this eyeshadow in multiple shades and it has never dissapointed me! My favorites are Fog (a dusty matte lilac), Kitten Heel (a sheer shimmery pink with a blue irridescence, perfect for highlighting under the eyebrow) and I can't remember the name but it's a gorgeous irridescent bright aqua. These go on really smoothly, are highly pigmented and last all day! These are fabulous eyeshadows with gorgeous colors (some of my all time favorites!) and they are definetly worth the price!

To expensive at sephora
-12.21.12
This product is amazing don't get me wrong but don't buy it at sephora!!!18$ is rediculous considering I payed 3.75$ each at df&cco!(designer fragrances and cosmetics co.)search for your nearest one and buy your yves saint Laurent and lancome products there much cheaper!!srry sephora but your prices are unfair it says right on the box to be retailed for 15$!

Review 6 for COLOR DESIGN - Sensational Effects Eye Shadow Smooth Hold
Shimmery shadows are gorgeous, but AVOID mattes!
-12.02.12
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented
I have this in Filigree, which is a gorgeous white-gold shimmer--the pigmentation is great, and there is minimal fallout. It has a fine, smooth shimmer rather than a thick chunky glitter. The pan is decently sized, and the color could easily double as a cheek highlighter.
I also have this in Matte Black, which is ungodly chalky and terribly pigmented--it's like an ashy, poorly pigmented grey. I swatched one of their matte browns, and it was equally subpar. Avoid Lancome's matte shadows, but don't hesitate to try their lovely shimmery shadows :).

Good eyeshadow
-11.26.12
The product I purchased was fine. I didn't receive any free samples at all. That's the reason I order from Sephora instead of just going to the store.

Review 9 for COLOR DESIGN - Sensational Effects Eye Shadow Smooth Hold
Kitten Heel
-08.27.12
This is one of my favorite eye shadow colors ever. It's a beautiful peachy pink with a gold duo chrome (the picture on the site really doesn't do it justice). I originally discovered it in one of the Lancome quads I bought for my wedding makeup (Enchanted Evening) and have since purchased the stand alone version of Kitten Heel.
Urban Decay's X eye shadow is pretty much an exact dupe of Kitten Heel.

Review 10 for COLOR DESIGN - Sensational Effects Eye Shadow Smooth Hold
Daylight Color
-08.17.12
I bought this in the Daylight color for my mom because she was needing a good base color and she's not a big fan of lots of shimmer. She already had this shadow in a different color and loves it. It really gives you the option of how much you want it to show up by layering it on and it lasts through the day!

Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, crease resistant
Love the quality of these shadows; they are long-lasting, crease resistant and really easy in application. And they come in so many pretty shades! I have a few in different finishes and am very satisfied with all of them!

Review 15 for COLOR DESIGN - Sensational Effects Eye Shadow Smooth Hold
Eyebrow shader
-03.11.12
I've been using the color Mochaccino as my eyebrow color for years. It seems to be the only shadow that gets closest to what I'd feel is a natural color. It stays on all day after I prime my eyebrows (I know it sounds odd). I love it and will continue using this.

Review 16 for COLOR DESIGN - Sensational Effects Eye Shadow Smooth Hold
Pretty Good...
-03.01.12
I don't necessarily run straight towards my Lancome part of my Sephora because some of there products are a little sketchy... But when i saw these eyeshadows, i fell in love! I bought 3!!!!! They are beautiful and have minimal fallout(: They only lose one star because the pigmentation seems to fade as you get deeper in the eyeshadow! All in all, nice eyeshadows!

Great
-02.01.12
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, smooth, portable
I have two of these and really enjoy their smooth consistency and pigmentation. I find these comparable to UD and Too Faced in quality and best of all, they are easily transportable due to their compact size and slide-open top.

Review 19 for COLOR DESIGN - Sensational Effects Eye Shadow Smooth Hold
-12.09.11
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, crease resistant
I have 5 different shades of these eye shadows and I absolutely love them! I have a variety of different finishes as well from matte to shimmer and they all look so nice! I always use a primer but I can tell a huge difference that these shadows are very long lasting, they even stay put somewhat through a shower.
The colors are very pigmented and blend very easy. I would definitely purchase more of these shadows in the future, they are so worth the money.

Review 20 for COLOR DESIGN - Sensational Effects Eye Shadow Smooth Hold
Perfect
-12.02.11
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, long lasting
I've yet to meet a Lancome eye shadow I didn't like. I find they stay put just fine without the base.r. This is also a perfect shadow for layering and getting that smokey eye look. The shades here have just enough pop and sparkle.
