I really like the Maybelline New York Eye Studio Quad. I am not really a pro when it comes to makeup application and the quad makes it really easy as all of the colours compliment and it comes with a dual sided brush with different tips to allow for a proffesional look when applying.
I did use a base under the shadow to ensure that it would stay put!
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 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.
I received 'Give me Gold' and 'Purple Icon'. When I first saw the product, I was very tempted to try it out. I'm a big fan of glittery eyeshadows. But, I have to say there were some dissapointments with this product. When I applied the eyeshadow on in the morning, I found that it started to wear off as the day progressed. The colour also didn't come on as strong as I wanted it to and it was hard to create a dramatic look. I found the packaging of the product to be sometimes hard to open.
But, if you're looking for an affordable eyeshadow palette that can still do a decent job, I would recommend trying out this product.
I received the Sapphire Siren and Copper Chic Palette's. I really like the copper one for everyday wear and have used it for work makeup every day. The Sapphire Siren is really bold and I will save these colours for a photo shoot or fitness competition makeup.
I like the quality of the powder. Sticks well if you use a primer. Lasts until around 4-5pm but definitely fades.
I don't like the application brush and have used my own to apply and blend. The blending is great with this product!
Like many others, i was pleasantly surprised when I tried this quad. I received it in "Irresistible Ivy", Which includes a creamy highlight colour, Gold, Turquoise and a copper colour. I always use a base and the colour payoff with these are pretty amazing. I saw that some reviewers thought it didn't last as long. But i find that when i just patted the shadow on rather than sweeping it across, it creates a nice vibrant colour and stays. I wear it to the office and it lasts me all day! I love how the colour works together, (besides the Turquoise), and the formula is rather creamy. I am able to effortlessly blend the shadows from one to the other. I especially like the highlight and the copper colour. I'm not really sure what to do with the Turquoise colour since it didn't really go as well with the rest of the palette, but on its own or paired with other colours, it looks great. The packaging is not that great, sort of flimsy, but i don't mind since I don't need to carry it around. Overall, i think you should definitely give these a try.
I was pleasantly surprised by how great these shadows are. My experience with drugstore eyeshadow has been disappointing, to say the least. But these palettes are a revelation. The colours are awesome, the texture is like velvet, and they have great staying power. Now in fairness I will say that they don't last as long as more expensive shadows, but they do a great job for this price point.
I highly recommend these shadows!
I got to test out the Maybelline purple icon and give me gold from this collection of eyeshadow. First I would have to say that for one of the lower end products out there the quality, and pigmentation was reasonable. The packaging was also presentable and nice though like most cases will be bound to crackin a bag full of make-up lol Though I would prefer that it wasn't too much sparkle/glittery but thats just my preference. When I look for most of all in eyeshadow is the color pigmentation was good for the price I would have to say Urban Decay's eyeshadow is still my personal favorite out there in the market. If you don't wanna spend too much but want good quality I would go for this eyeshadow :)
I received 'give me gold' and 'taupe temptress' through chick advisor. Both sets have beautiful colors and look good on. The color fades after awhile but the shimmer lasts. I would recommend this for light wear for a few hours. overall a good product with nice color range :)
The shadows are very powdery though, and do go on super sheer so double or triple brushing is required for a darker look. this is a day product and wont really work for night wear as I tried a romantic look and it didnt work too well as it was hard to dee. good for a light airy look for summer and spring!!
