HiP Colors My World!
I cannot begin any review without mentioning the fact that I am obsessed with eye shadows. There is nary a brand I haven't tried. HiP grabbed my attention as soon as it appeared on shelves--I was initially impressed by the portable nature of the container and the vivid, flamboyant hues. They are not for the faint-of-heart. L'Oreal HiP shadows are strongly pigmented. They are easy to apply, gr...read moreeat for dramatic looks, and stay in place, especially when worn over a good primer. My only objections? The majority of the combinations work beautifully together. But just a few of the hues are too funky, too outrageous. Keep orange and yellow away from your eyes as a chief shade. You'll wind up looking like you have an eye infection rather than appearing to be in style!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

Best of the Drugstore Brands By Far!
I have always found that drugstore brand eye shadows are not very pigmented, are hard to blend, and don't last. BUT...this Loreal Paris HiP Duo is the exception. These have crazy good pigment, are easy to apply, and are surprisingly long-lasting!! I say go for it!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 6 people said helpful

Hey Not Bad.
I actually like this stuff, NO it's not high intensity... or not SUPER high intensity, but I like the colors! Only I tend to buy collections when I shop so I bought ALL of them, and a few of them look the same so that was a little disappointing. They can be messy though so be careful, keep your make up remover close and do your eyes first if you use this stuff because it can become a mess!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 17 of 22 people said helpful

No tfor me
The colors are pretty, but it just was not for me. It was messy, so it took me a long time to apply, and get it to look good. Then it creased, even with the use of primer. I had to use makeup remover and a q-tip to "clean up" after I put it on.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Love
These are incredibly pigmented and not for the faint of heart. If you love a bold eye, these will be perfect for you. They wore well, but were a little tricky to apply.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful

Great product
I really like this product. If you use it with a primer, the colors will build up. I have this in lively and it is simply perfect when I do a green smokey eye look. I love how the small compact has a mirror on the bottom side of the eye shadow.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 4 people said helpful

Pigmented wonder
I have this in Saucy and I love it. I would compare these to the quality of Urban Decay. I was luckily enough to find these on clearance at Target. With my target coupon and loreal coupon it came out to about eight cents. I figured if I didn't like it no biggie. The color went on smoothly and was highly pigmented even without a primer lasted all night long. I went on a search of my local Tar...read moreget stores for more clearanced out duos. I grabbed a couple more, but haven't had the chance to try out the colors yet to properly review. They are a nice size for travel too. I am impressed with the quality of this drugstore jewel.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 7 people said helpful

Beautiful color and pigmenation
The L'oreal HIP Studio Secrets duos have been a hot item in drugstores nationwide, and it's definitely not a surprise considering these shadows are not only very pigmented, but for $7.99 are a bargain purchase! The easily blendable formula allows for a very smooth application, with absolutely no fallout. Minimal amount of product is needed when applying simply because a little bit of shadow doe...read mores go a long way. The Concentrated HIP duos have an outstanding lasting power, even without any primer the shadows do stay vibrant for the majority of the day/night. Both colors do offer a metallic effect, the golden green more-so than the green brown, however the metallic in these shadows is not overpowering therefore can be worn in any occasion; as an everyday neutral yet can also be glammed up when more product is applied. The packaging is very compact and convenient which is definitely a necessity when traveling or storing your makeup. Overall, the L'oreal Paris HIP Studio Secrets Professional Concentrated Shadows are a luxury product on a drugstore budget. They come in a variety of colors, are highly pigmented, and periodically can be found on sale for around $3-4! The HIP Duos can be purchased at local drugstores such as CVS, Walgreen's, Rite Aid, as well as online.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful
