I have the Monobulle 829 "bronze reflets" (yes, "reflets") which is a gorgeous brown golden shimmery colour. The colour after you put it on is a tiny little bit lighter than in the package, but it's still really gorgeous. It goes on okay, and stays a long time. I can't complain about this. Would buy again.

Agnes B eye shadows are really good - long lasting, nice colors, and good prices. But, I don't see the US catalog anymore and they stopped selling in the US area sadly.

Worse products ever. Monobulles are expensive and give absoutly NOT the payoff they show on their website pictures or the color it looks like into the pot. Textures is too light, too chunky for application. Beside the packaging, there is nothing good about these products. It's a big boo !

I love the innovation in colors and the wide selection of colors her eyeshadows have to offer. I don't like the price which I find way too expensive for such small quantities and why should it be more expensive than others? There is nothing more special about these eyeshadows compare to other cheaper ones. Found myself recently a brand from boots (they produce it) which works as good as other more expensive eyeshadows. Final word, not worth the money.

I got this in Golden Sand, and was disappointed. The color wasn´t really golden, just really shimmery. I also got silver brown( which their site said would go well with Golden Sand). It was just very shiny silver, no brown to be found. I can´t comment on the wear, as I put both on once, and then put them back in the box to return. The packaging was ok. One shadow seemed to not have been glued enough and the pan was already coming off. I would no buy agnes b shadows again.

i got this in parme argente as an extra from the most generous muaer. it's lilac and shimmery, very pigmented, not particularly soft in fact the surface looked a bit hardened bcos of time? or something in the ingredients becoming oxidized? however this is only the physical look of the product, when using a brush to apply it comes off and onto the brush easily and it has stayed put the whole day, no creasing whatsoever! if i get the chance i might buy this in another color because it's not expensive.

CCB had a sale on their Agnes B. eyeshadows earlier this year and so I bought two to try out. I'm glad I didn't pay too much for them because they are awful. The consistency is gritty and it is splotchy when applied to the eyelid. I used a brush to see if it would apply smoother and it did'nt "stick". It just dusted off my lids. I tried a spongetip brush and it was a no-go. I also applied it wet and it was clumping on my lids. I will not purchase again. Also the reason it got a few lippys from me is because the packaging looks good.

I got this in Taupe, & I have to say this must be the most perfect medium shade of a brownish-gray taupe eyeshadow I've ever found. It's not too dark or light, not quite brown, not quite gray. In the catalogue it looks matte, but it actually has a gorgeous shimmer to it. IMO, this is another unique shade of Agnes B's that I haven't been able to find in any other line yet. So many cosmetics companies just call your standard light brown or tan eyeshadow "taupe"; it's not (at least not IMO). The only thing that keeps it from being a HG for me is the packaging, which I really can't stand. It's thick & bulky; you have to screw the top on & off (as opposed to a quick & simple snap); & they don't even give you any kind of applicator with it, much less room in the package to keep your own in. Despite that, unless I find this identical color in another line, I would definitely repurchase this one.

This is ok eyeshadow. There's nothing wronge with it, but it's not very exciting. The colors are a bit dull, and it's hard to apply evenly. I won't get rid of the ones I have, but I wouldn't repurchase.

It looks really pretty, but it doesn't go one very well. I have to sue a lot of it to get the colour that it looks like in the jar. I was let down a little bit.

I just got Silver Sea Green which when I ordered I was afraid would be far to light and shimmery to wear but when I got it I found it to be a very very beautiful light minty green with silver iridescent shimmer. I am having a bit of trouble getting this to onto a brush but it works fine with my finger or a sponge-tipped applicator. When applied this is gorg, very light and sheer pale green but when the light hits it right you can really see the shimmer. Staying power as with all these eyeshadows is very nice and it blends well so no ranting from me:)

I finally got to try "Green and Pink" and I love it. It flashes from green to pink and is a slight mauve colour inbetween, hard to describe. It is shimmery and highlights my hazel eyes nicely, I think anyone could wear it.

I have this in Golden Sand which is a beautiful shimmery color. Perfect for the "I'm not wearing any makeup" look. The lasting power is okay but I really wish it was more silky and that's why I won't be buying this again.

I have one of these in prune moiree and it's HG for me. I wear it at least a couple of days ever week. I use it to line my lids and as a socket colour. It's an aubergine/burgundy with shimmer and it makes my greeny hazel eyes *POP*! It wears well and has a nice blendable texture.

I have just about every colour of these, and I really like them. I use eye shadow base and they last well, and I like the different effects of the special effects, especially the green and the pink. They can be layered, and are rasonable.

these eyeshadows come in the cutest little bubble-top cases. that being said, the eyeshadow itself isn't bad either. the staying power isn't 100% for me, but as i have a very low eye socket and barely any eyelid, nothing lasts without creasing. i love the colors they have, though. i have this in bronze flash, a warm metallic gold; faux noir, a deep, blue-black; green and pink, which flashes from(obviously) green to pink; and rose pearl, half of which is a shiney rose shade which i like, but the white iridescent shade in the half of the pot has silver microglitter, and i am just not a fan of glitter. not bad for the price, since ccb has it for 50% off quite often.

Nice pigment & cool packaging but there is nothing outstanding about these eye shadows. Does its job well but there are more interesting eye shadows out there so I probably won't repurchase. This product is not availble in Australia.

Just a quick one - I get allergic reactions to these eyeshadows, so if you have sensitive eyelids be careful! The colours are ok but a little too shimmery for my taste. The shades I chose looked great in the brochure but I wasn't keen when they arrived.

Got two new pots in Pistachio, a bright yellowish green that looks really nice and can be applied light for a sheer look or heavier for a more intense look. I say its yellowish but only slightly so, looks alot like in catalog. Other colour is Copper-Bronze which is a shimmery dark brown, very nice esp as a highlight colour or liner.
