Since we are always writing about the next best thing premiering on the beauty market, we can't overlook that sometimes some of the best colors and products are the oldies but goodies. In this installment of Back to Basics: The Best Champagne Eye Shadows, we are going to take a trip down memory lane to see a few of my old time favorites. I can't wait to hear what you think!

Shroom, by MAC Cosmetics $14, is one of the most versatile eye shadows. This soft muted golden beige has a slight opalescent shimmer to it. You can use it all over your lid as a neutral shade, you can mix it with any of your other favorite shadows and you can use it right below your brow as a highlighter. I'm on my third Shroom already! It's a staple in my makeup bag that I have yet to find a replacement for.

Kitten by Stila, $14. This color is their number one best seller for a reason! It's something you can wear with anything. Although it's categorized as more of a shimmery nude pink, the shimmer is champagne colored on the pink of your eye. This color is as versatile as your LBD! It glides on smoothly and just a little bit goes a long way.

To see more of my fave champagne shadows,

Eye shadow in Smashing Champagne by Smashbox, $16, is a long-lasting shadow with excellent blend-ability. It can be worn alone or layered. This shade looks great on everyone.

ColorStay 12 Hour Single Eye Shadow in Champagne by Revlon, $4.29, is a rich color that will last for up to 12 hours straight. It has a patented ColorStay® technology that keeps your shadow crease-proof, fade-proof and smudge-proof. This color won't break the bank, but it will make you look and feel like a million bucks!

Every year, L'Oreal releases a limited-edition Color of Hope collection, and part of the proceeds (up to $100,000) go to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. This year, L’Oréal will donate $1 to the fund for each item sold and $5 for each of its Color of Hope cosmetics bags.

This year's collection is all fashion-forward plums, neutrals, and corals plus its signature Color of Hope lipstick ($9), which is a pretty, sheer mauve. Of the products on offer, the best can't-go-wrong bet is the eye shadow quad up there on the left, Nostalgic Beauty ($9). It has a great taupe shadow infused with subtle peach glitter, a silver shimmer-filled gray, a nice coral, and a multitasking champagne shade.
