I recently bought the Maybelline New York Eyestudio Quad in "90 Irresistably Ivy" and I'm not 100% sure that I will buy another one of these, but I couldn't say I've not thought about it. I wish there was an "undecided" button.

This particular quad has a ... cream/beige colour for the bigger one, and then a copper, a teal and a chocolate brown. My biggest peeve with this palette is that all the colours are shimmery. I'm not a big fan of that, however, the colours are gorgeous and so I caved and had to try one.

The sponge applicator it comes with is useless to me, as I use my own brushes, but it is double ended and therefore has a side for each colour, should you choose to use it that way. The diagram on the back is EXTREMELY unhelpful. Like honestly useless. My understanding is that the cream colour goes all over... the chocolate colour goes along the lash line and the teal goes in the crease. What I did; the copper all over the lid, the teal in the crease and outer v, the chocolate along the upper and lower lash line and the cream as an inner corner and brow bone highlight/ used to blend all the harsh edges. If you're able to use your imagination, it's a good product.

Be forewarned, these colours are /really/ pigmented, and it's annoying to start over once you've screwed up. My suggestion is to use little bits and build the colour instead. The packaging is still cute and the colour combinations are good. They're marketing campaign really drove me to grabbing one though, and I think I'll pick up at least one more before I make my final decision on this particular line of eye shadows.

Hope that helps!

I received the entire collection of eye studio quads (from Matchstick Marketing) to create looks and post them on my blog. I like that the quads are slim and don't take up a lot of space, and that they have fun and interesting combos that deviate from the standard monochromatic set you usually get in quads.
So far my favourite quads have been the Pink Persuasion (a smokey eye set with grays and a pink) and the Sunset Seduction (pinky browns and taupes)
I find that the clours are very shimmer and I am often left with shimmer on my cheeks after applying. Also, some of the lighter shades are, just that, very light and have to be applied in layers to get the full colour payout. Overall though, these quads are a great product and I do recommend.

I bought the grey-pink compact. I thought this eyeshadow was very easy to apply. I loved all the colors it came in and I will most definitely go and buy others. I really liked that the color has sparkle in it because it makes it really pop especially if you are just applying one color. For work I will wear the pink or light grey just by itself because it is really pretty but not over the top. I did a dark smokey eye for my birthday about a week ago and I loved how easy it was. I am not very pro at doing the smokey eye so I was impressed that I was able to. I will definitely recommend this product to my friends!

I bought the color Taupe Temp and I love it. The eyeshadow works great dry and wet too! The feel of it is really smooth and silky and much to my amazement it doesn't settle in the creases of my eyelids. It comes with 4 shades a highligh, crease, lid, and liner and they coordinate perfectly. The colors can also be worn alone an work great if you are in a rush and just want to put on the lid color fast and go. I love that on the back there is picture of how they layered the colors for you to copy it makes it easy for those that may be beginners at achieving the look.

I have received this product for review and I am very grateful! This is a GREAT Product! It glides on smooth and blends very well. The sparkles and shine makes me feel especially glamorous. The color range greatly complement each other and look fabulous. This does not cake or flake. I would really recommend this product to anyone who wears makeup!

I received the eyeshadows "Green with Envy" and the "Lilac Mauve" from Chick Advisor. I used the Green with Envy to create a dramatic look and I was very impress of how easy it was to apply. I referred to the instructions on the back of the case and I loved it. The lilac eyeshadow was great for the day to add a playful look. I can't wait to try other colours!

I received this product from the product review club..so first of all thank you!
I really liked this eyeshadow. It was easy to apply and stayed on all day and after a little touch up before going out, it lasted the night as well. The colour combinations were really balanced and worked really well. I usually stick to neutral colours so i was really interested to see how i would like the colours. And I did really like them. I aslo had a couple friends try the product with me one day and they also had really good things to say about it. As for price i found it fair. I believe i found it for around $11 at shoppers and considering the results i think that it is a pretty good price and well worth it. I will recommend this to all my friends and family.

When I first received 'Sunset Seduction' to review, I got scared from the colors as the selection looked VERY shimmery. But when applied, the colors create a very subtle and natural look. With pre-selected combinations, I usually end up using only 1 or 2 colors from the palette, but Maybelline's quad work very well together. They also stay put as applied, which rarely happens with the shape of my eyes.

Very impressed by the quality of these shadows. The colours go well together and they are easy to apply. I created a subtle look with #50 taupe which looked great with my green eyes and fair skin. Do recommend.

I have been a long-time user of high end make-up like Mac, Nars and Stila. I turn to the make-up counters because I like having someone show me what looks good, and end up buying the products and colours that they recommend. This is my first time back to store-brand eye shadow, and although I loved the colour combinations, I wasn't quite sure about the quality. Well, my first day upon using I was really impressed! The eye shadow felt silky and was easy to apply, and it stayed on all day. The quality was the same as the high-end brands that I have used in the past. It looks like I am a Maybelline girl now :)
