Maybelline New York Eye Studio Eyeshadow Quad

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 :)

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 recieved Give Me Gold and Purple Icon. I love purple, so I was pretty psyched about it. I don't use expensive make up like MAC and the like, I buy all my stuff at Rexall :D That said, the make itself was quite good and sturdy (subject to my testing!) and the colours applied better and more comfortably than other pharmacy brands. It doesn't last too too long, but neither do most other pharmacy brands.

Things I'd have liked: a mirror, instructions on where to put each shade (this is clearly for beginners, as all the experienced make up users have already seemingly thrown theirs out), and more colour choice.

Beyond that, it's nice, and I love Maybelline, but I'll probably stick to their other products.
