Review of L'Oreal HiP Matte Duo - Dashing #917 by pmburk

I love the L'Oreal HIP shadow duos. The pale pink makes a great all-over wash or a highlight. The black is very matte and much more pigmented than the pink - it works perfect used wet for a liner, or blended out for a smoky eye. I would say it is a dupe for MAC Carbon. The colors are nicely pigmented and they do last very well. The quality of these shadows is up there with most department store brands - they are a great drugstore value. I take off 2 lippies on packaging (my only gripe about this product) because the bottom compartment is wasted space & plastic, with the useless little sponge applicator. As soon as I buy these, I take it out and throw it away so I don't have to listen to it rattling around. L'Oreal could do away with that, save the packaging and save us all some money. Otherwise I love this and will definitely repurchase.
