Hey Everyone,
Well, I think it's finally time to introduce you to my new love. We've been seeing each other for just over a couple of weeks, and while others may see this as moving kind of quickly, I can't help it, I'm totally smitten. He's bold, daring, bright, super smooth and very creamy. Wait...what?!
After eyeing him (or it) for a little over a month, I finally got my hands on Revlon's Colorstay eyeshadow quad in the colour 'inspired'. With a creamy white highlight, a bright turquoise blue, a shimmering mint green, and a deep navy blue/purple shadow with iridescent blue shimmer, this is, in my opinion, the perfect quad for summer.
All of the shadows in this quad are very creamy and pigmented, and while I am not usually a fan of glitter, these shadows seem to add a bit of sparkle to my eyes.
My only complaint? Revlon's claim that these long wearing shadows stay on for 16 hours. Not only is this not true (with primer they last a good 8 hours), the whole trend of claiming that beauty products last 12, 24, 48, 72 hours is ridiculous. I don't think I have ever worn eyeshadow for 16 hours straight, and even if I did, I wouldn't care that I had to touch it up after 8.
Despite my slight annoyance with their 16 hour claim, I think this palette is amazing, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive (I believe I got mine on sale for $7.99 CND) way to create a bold summer eye.
Have you tried any of the Revlon Colorstay eyeshadow quads? Would you wear any (or all) of the colours shown above? Be sure to let me know in the comment section below.

beautiful colours
ReplyDeleteIf I saw this at Shoppers, I'd probably think it was ugly but swatched their so gorgeous! I agree with you on the claim. I can't think of anyone who would even need a 24 hr + wear eyeshadow, so why make the claim? I suppose I could see 16 hrs but even still!
ReplyDeletepretty quad :)
ReplyDeleteThey look beautiful :) I like the look of some of the other quads as well but they are much more expensive in Aus than over there,sadly
ReplyDeleteReally pretty colors. I like the instructions in the back. They always help.
ReplyDeleteLovely colors :) I love when eyeshadow palettes come with an instructions because it gives some good ideas what to do and try :)
ReplyDeleteThis palette is gorgeous! I've tried one of these palettes in the neutral toned Attitude and I actually found it wore really well and lasted the whole day. My beef is I found the darker shades difficult to blend.
ReplyDeleteAll these colors are perfect for summer!
