I was thrilled to be selected as one of the product testers for Maybelline's new Eye Studio eyeshadow. I was sent the "Taupe Temptress" and "Green with Envy" pallets. I did some looking around on the internet to see how much it costs in stores and what Maybelline claims about this eyeshadow. From what I could find on price is that it costs around $7.49 to $9.99. Maybelline introduces the set on their webpage - http://www.maybellinenewyork.ca/caeng/products/eyes/shadows/l29l30l46l216l2884.htm

I found their claims on texture and luminosity to be accurate. The texture is very silky feeling - not caky at all, no matter how many layers. Even after wearing this eyeshadow all day, it still appeared smooth and 'luminous,' not creasing or fading.

I was initially nervous about how sparkly it looked. However, once on, it didn't appear to be nearly as sparkly as I had initially thought it would. I was happy with this as I do not like sparkly as much as I would prefer shimmer.

As to how dramatic this eyeshadow is, I found it took a lot of layering to get the deeper shades of the colors. The plus side to this is that it can be worn as a day look with a thin layer, and an evening look with a few extra layers of shadow.

The price I think is maybe a little high for a drugstore shadow, but I do admit it is one of the better shadows I have tried.

I recieved this product from the Product Review Club and I am very thankful that I was chosen!! I recieved two palettes: Pink Persuasion and Green With Envy.
My overall experience was very good! I usually wear MAC makeup and this is very comparable in the colour brightness, colour blendability, and silky smooth feel. The colour was very true to what was on the pallate and the dark colours lived up to their intensity, I was very impressed. The Pink Persuasion creates a soft, romantic look and the Green With Envy creates a look fit for going out to a nightclub or bar. My friends commented me on my new eye shadows and wanted to try them
I would reccomend this to anyone who likes smooth, silky eyeshadows with a bit of sparkle!

Like many of the reviewers here, I also received the Maybelline New York EyeStudio Eyeshadow Quad in the mail, courtesy of ChickAdvisor and the Product Review Club. I received two quad sets: "Green With Envy" and "Taupe Temptress".

I absolutely love these eyeshadows! They go on very smoothly - quite silky. The colours are so vibrant and shimmery. The shimmer of these eyeshadows is similar to the quality of the Lise Watier eyeshadows - but for much less money. The more you apply, the more shimmer and density/pigmentation you'll get. The first time I wore this eyeshadow (I wore the colours from the "Taupe Temptress" set), I wore it to work. We are not supposed to wear bright colours where I work, so, a single brush/coat of the colours from "Taupe Temptress" were perfect! I still got the shimmer, without the brightness/high pigmentation. Later that night, I added another coat to what I was already wearing for an evening look - I got more pigmentation and even more shimmer! It was a perfect evening look! I found that I preferred to wear the colours from "Green With Envy" outside of work - only because the colours are brighter (and I love to wear the brighter, more vibrant colours outside of work!)

These shadows are especially great for those of us who like that extra shimmer/sparkle. The colours last all day, without creasing. They are suitable for both a day/work look, and an evening look. I find that it takes a couple of more coats to get a higher pigmentation and more vibrant look, but I absolutely love the sparkles! It is definitely one of my favourite shadows from Maybelline. I really like that these sets come in quads, so it gives you room to play around with the colours. I even mix and match between the quads! I will definitely be going out and getting a few of the other quads!

I received Maybelline New York Eye Studio Eyeshadow Quad from the product review club in I"Pink Persuasion" and "Mad for Mauve" and like the other reviewers, I loved both sets.
I have been using both sets for the last week and I love it's consistency when it goes on as well as how well the color shows up on my skin. Sometimes when I wear eyeshadows without a base, it tends to not 'show up' much on me, but this was not the case with this product. I am so in love with this product that I plan on going out and buying the other palettes!

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO Chick Advisor & the Review Club for giving me both the Copper Brown & Grey Pink for free to review and test out!
This so far has been my favourite to test not only because I love the fun and wild to simple and sparkly shades but because this makeup finally does what it should!

My overall experience...AMAZING. I could go out to a club and everytime I went to the bathroom to do a makeup check NO SMUDGE no wrinkles. it was amazing! bravo.

Colour result was fun to try out. you could do just a simple pink all over or you could use the black in the corner pink in the center and shade it with the lighter one just so many options!

The looks I would create were more my styles which was simple and natural in the day and by the weekend it would get way more dramatic but you could make anywhere from the natural to the dramatic to the pretty girl I mean the options are up to you you have 4 great shades to work with !

My girlfriends all asked if it was MAC makeup! Specially the black sparkly because when girls see nice eyeshadow that is actually doing its job and staying in its spot! they assume...EXPENSIVE! They do not assume simple maybelline from a drug store kind of brand.
So as soon as I did tell them what it was called they allll went to grab a pair.

My favourite part about this eyeshadow is definiatley the texture. thats what makes it for me...The only negative I can think of other than it won't be free for you if you didnt get it as a gift from the review club haha is that the colours do come with alot of sparkle from the ones I got and if you are into more a soft look with no sparkle then these wont be for you..But I think every girl needs a well working eyeshadow with a lil bling bling.


LOVE IT
&
THANKYOU

As always, thank you to the Chick Advisor team who was kind enough to send two pallets of Maybelline's new eyeshadow collection named, "EyeStudio". I received "Pink Persuasion" and "Mad for Mauve" and I loved both sets.

I received them early last week and I've been wearing them both in different color combinations practically everyday for the last week. I just can't get enough.

Both sets have sparkly tones in each color, making it look like you've applied a creme eyeshadow, which was my #1 favorite thing about the product. I went out on Friday night and was going for a romantic look... purple dress, tights... so I wanted to make sure that my eyes popped to complete the look. I chose to use the "Mad for Mauve" color pallet and it was definately the right choice. It acheived a rich tone with a touch of sparkle.

I was so eager to show off my look, I kept showing all my friends who confirmed that it did look really nice. I probably never would have purchased this particular product because of the colors (I didn't think they would look right) and that's why I'm so glad I got a chance to try it out thanks to Chick Advisor. I'll definately be purchasing other color pallets in the "EyeStudio" collection! :)

I received this product from the product review club. I received the "taupe temptress" palette, and the "spirited seas" palette. Overall these palettes are beautiful I love how each colour in each palette compliment each other. One can easily achieve the look they are going for with just using one palette.

I am of a tan complexion and I found that the color payoff was not bad. I had to use repeatedly use my brush to achieve the pigmentation that I desired. The textures of these eye shadows are amazing, it is like touching velvet. One thing that I do caution other users are that these are "lustre finishes", meaning they have A LOT of sparkles. Hence you will get fall out and if you careful with your application you can end up looking like a disco ball. Also I would caution those who consider themselves "older", as the sparkles may go into your fine lines and wrinkles and possibly cause a "aging look". Another thing I want to add is that these shadows blend beautifully, its almost as like your are working with cream shadows.

I was able to create a more of a "romantic" type of look with these eye shadows. Because the pigmentation on my skin is not that strong. So for me I was able to create a soft but sexy look for everyday. Which a did receive A LOT of compliments on. I attempted to create a more dramatic smoky look, but was unsuccessful because of the mess it makes with all the glitter fall out.

Overall I would recommend these shadows for those who are beginners who want to get into more of a colourful look but don't want to be too dramatic.

I recently received two palettes to review, and I got "Taupe Temptress" and "Green with Envy".

When I first tried this product, I noticed shimmer and sparkles. A lot of them. So if you're not inclined to that, I would suggest you stay far away from this eyeshadow. The application was silky smooth, but the colors were not as pigmented as I would have expected, although it's possible to work at building them up to increase the color. In addition, the slightest rub can easily take off the colors, so I would recommend a primer.

I wore this out for about 7 hours, and the sparkles, which I had thought were impossible to miss, were overlooked by my friends from even a short distance and the shadow appeared matte. I wore it without a primer, and, likely due to my oily skin, there was nearly nothing left of the shadow except for what had creased into my eyelids.

Overall, I really like the colors that were paired together in the quads and how the sparkles didn't come loose from the product (and into my eye), but I am a little iffy about the price, which is about $10 at London Drugs.

Went looking for a new eye shadow & got this one in the gold/brown shades which I have heard really play up blue eyes. Wow! I now have a new favorite! I work night shifts & even at four in the morning it really makes my eyes pop & I don't look half as tired as I feel.

I received "Green with Envy" and Taupe Temptress" to try out which was great, because I have recently colored my hair amber/copper and have fair skin. These two color palettes are very complementary for me. I agree with my fellow reviewers and found that it didn't have enough pigment to make a statement but had just enough pigment and sparkle to be subtle. It created a nice color wash on the eyes. I personally love a lot of sparkle in my makeup and so this is a great addition to my makeup collection.

I also wear contact lens and found that the sparkle didn't irritate my eyes which is a big plus!
