Product Review: Miss Adoro Cosmetics

Hi everyone :)

So I just bought some new products from Miss Adoro Cosmetics to try out and thought I'd do a review on it. Based on the packaging, I really like how they incorporated the color and the name of the color of the product to a side panel of the boxes the product came it. This was I'll know what color the product is without the hassle of having to open the box. Also, the matte black packing with gold labeling is very chic and the black part reminds me of the way MAC's packaging feels like.

All of the products are cruelty free and are quite pigmented.

1) Supreme Creamy Eyeliner Pencil in Velvet (Black) ($9)
I really like the fact that the eyeliner is a gel one. It really glides on easily without tugging on my skin like some pencil eyeliners. It's super pigmented, in the swatch photo, that was only one swipe! 

Aside from being pigmented, it's long lasting. I have oily lids so the pencil eyeliner tends to separate or clump in the lines on my monolids. Even when I use the Urban Decay Primer Potion under it, many of my pencil eyeliners will still do that. But this gel liner didn't budge or separate (refer to the photo at the very bottom for after 10 hours of wearing the liner). For the swatch, I tried wiping it off with a tissue and my finger, it faded a little but it was still really dark black. I will definitely need to use an eye make-up remover with an oil base to it to get this eyeliner off.

I must say, aside from wearing the K Pallet 24 Hours Liquid Eyeliner, this gel liner is in my Holy Grail (HG) list. These are my two most long lasting liner that I can always rely on. Love love love <3

2) Supreme Creamy Lipliner in Rose Gold ($9)
Just like the Gel Eyeline, this Gel Lipliner is super creamy and glides on easily. Another one of my fave, I'm really liking their gel liners for both the eyeliners and lipliners. The Rose Gold color goes great with the Tuesday lipstick. This is a good color for the natural lip or as Jen from Fromheadtotoe would call it My Lips But Better color. 

Unfortunately, I didn't get to test out the long lasting features of the lip products because I ended up wiping the products off when I ate my lunch at 1PM and forgot to reapply the products afterwards.

Mineral Eye Shadow in First Class

3) Mineral Eye Shadow in First Class ($9)
This eye shadow has two shades, a taupey brown color and a soft champagne color. This product claims to be ultra smooth and blendable, and it really is. The eye shadow is super soft and there is a sheen for the champagne color whereas the taupe color doesn't have much of a sheen. The pigmentation is decent, it doesn't pop as much as my MAC eye shadows but I haven't gotten a chance to try it wet. The product can be worn dry or wet, but I don't usually wear my eye shadows wet.

I'm a natural makeup type of a girl, so this eye shadow duo is great for that. Also, the eye shadow is dome shaped so it's convenient when you're getting the products. 

I like to apply the champagne color all over the lid first and them afterwards apply the taupe color on the outer half of my lid but at times when I'm in a rush, I'll just put the taupe all over the lid as well. The color was still on my lid after 10 hours, it didn't fad at all. 

Mineral Blush in Pasion

4) Mineral Blush in Pasion ($9)
This blush reminds me of MAC's Mineral Blush in Dainty, they both have the coral peachy color and are both mineral blushes. It's super soft and very pigmented, I just need a little bit of the product to get that rosy cheek. Plus it leaves a slight sheen on the cheek for that healthy glow. Great for my natural everyday looks. It's very blendable and since the product is dome shaped, it's easy for the brush to grab the product. 

It can be work wet as well since it's mineralized but I haven't tried it yet. This is a great alternative to the Dainty and is great for a everyday natural look. The domed blush kind of also remind of how Chanel's blushes look. I'll continue to test out the blush as it's almost there to my HG list.

Compact Powder in Ivory


5) Compact Powder in Ivory ($15)
It's a matte finish powder and is non-fragrance which is a plus for me. It's super soft, feels light and definitely buildable. Another plus about this is it's Paraben free :)

It kind of reminds me of MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish Natural. I'm a Medium for the Skinfinish and the Ivory matches my skin tone pretty accurately. 

Even though I don't use a sponge to apply the powder, I do wish that the compact has a separator on for the sponge it comes with. Like one of those compacts where the sponge would be stored in a compartment in the bottom of the compact. It does come with a plastic sheet that keeps the sponge from touching the compact.

Supreme Creamy Concealer Pencil in Beige


6) Supreme Creamy Concealer Pencil in Beige ($9)
The concealer pencil applies on creamy and dries to a powder finish. The beige color matches my skin tone pretty closely.  I used it under my eyes to hide some of my dark circles and did a pretty okay job of it. I used a dense domed brush to blend out the products. This hasn't settled into my fine lines which is nice since some of the other creamy concealers would just accentuate the fine lines that I have near the inner corner of my eyes. This is definitely buildable but I haven't pushed it yet to see if it'll get cakey after putting a lot of the product on and testing how it would be wearing it for a long time.

Right: High Definition Lipstick in Tuesday


7) High Definition Lipstick in Tuesday ($12)
I love how the color of the lipstick is on top of the package so that when I store the lipstick in a holder of stacked in a container, I'll be able to identify the color with ease. The lipstick it self feels light, but the closure of the cap is tight, I like how it has that crisp click sound when I close the cap.

The color is really pigmented and I would consider this a MLBB color. Unfortunately this lipstick wasn't one of the lipsticks that moisturized my lips. I have really sensitive lips and they dry out and gets chapped quickly and easily. So even though I like the color, I wish it was moisturizing for my lips. Honestly speaking, the only products that I feel that won't cause my lips to chap or flake are the Fresh Sugar lip balm/chapstick. The lipstick does have this play-doh kind of smell to it. 


8) Supreme Brilliant Lipgloss in Simple ($10) (not worn in the photo)
This color went well with the Tuesday lipstick. It's definitely glossy and gives my lip a shine. It does feel sticky but not overly stick where I would be bothered by it when I purse my lips. It's also quite pigmented but I wish that they will improve on the scent of the product.


Overall, the make-up products are well worth the price they're at for the ones I liked and I would definitely repurchase the gel liners, and try out the different lipline colors they have. The products I would say to get or must try from this review are the gel eyeliner, gel lipliner, the Pasion blush, and the creamy concealer pencil.
