Revlon should bring back the old 'wet/dry' shadow quads from the early 2000s they were incredibly pigmented, smooth and velvety and had true colour payoff, even the last edition of colorstay shadow quads were better than these and they weren't great. All of the revlon shadows as of late are chalky, really badly pigmented (even over primer) and wont even show up well on someone like me who is pale as pale without packing them on and having fallout everywhere. I have the same issue with their blushes - not impressed, I have owned these in Addictive, attitude, luscious, moonlit and delightful (which was the worst of the lot even the black shade doesnt show up) and they were all lacking serious pigmentation. For $30 I expect better quality the Luscious quad was just ok (greens but so much fallout) but I have to admit I love one of these which hasn't been a dud which is the Adventurous quad which is amazingly pigmented has some fallout/glitter but is overall a great palette for hazel eyes it consists of a beautiful bronze, creamy gold, auberine toned chocolate brown and a wonderful olive green the pigment of this one makes it worth the price but I do not recommend any of the other shades I have tried which is almost half of the shade selection on offer.

Tips: If you are going to get one and you have hazel eyes make it the Adventurous quad - pass up the rest just not worth the money/work you will have to put into making them look right. A primer is also must with this product!
This little kit is fab - the colours are perfect to wear to work every day.
I have about a million of these colourstay kits - they are fantastic.
I like this little set and the colours are good and they blend well, but they are rather powdery and certainly don't last 16 hours. I've always been a fan of Revlon eye colours but this isn't in my top favourites list. I agree with the reviewer who talked about the old wet and dry colours. Good for weekday makeup as long as you use the blending brushes for a best look.
Tips: Blend, blend blend!
Revlon is one of my favourite drugstore brands, for good quality and affordable products, I've definitely found a few gems buying them in my pharmacy. The local pharmacy has quite a few specials on, so it's a great time to try new products.
The packaging is quite standard for Revlon, black, modern and sleek. It's in a black rectangular shape, made of sturdy black plastic. Simple, yet effective.
In terms of the applicator brush, as with other palettes it's best to use your own brush. The brushes that come with the palettes is always quite flimsy and tricky to apply. Using your own brush application is so much easier and also looks better.
I have two of these palettes as I got them both on special. The shadows are nice and feel silky to apply. They are quite long lasting, and wear well. They also have nice colour selections to choose from.
In terms of pigmentation, it's not the best- it needs to be built up by quite a few layers. So, I seem to reach for my other eyeshadows more than I do this palette.
Overall, it's a nice palette, but not my absolute favourite due to the reasons described above. Also, I find it quite pricey for what it is. So, although there's many Revlon products I love, this doesn't make the top of my list.
Love Revlon, this eyeshadow is really easy to apply, goes on smoothly and stays on for a good few hours. The colours also blend very well together. A real keeper!
I have two of these palettes and they are amongst my favourites. They go on really easily (I use a brush) and stay all day. The guide on the back gives you an example of how and where to apply but you are still free to do it your way. Very happy with this product.
LOVE this palette, especially the white matte shade, which acts as a perfect highlighter for the brow bone. You can also use it to blend out harsh dark eyeshadow so your application is a smooth gradient. All the other others are pigmented and it is very easy to achieve an effortless natural eye. Blend the dark brown colour into the crease for an intensified night time look.
Tips: Apply an eyeshadow base or primer to make the shadows last longer :)
Lovely silky powder which goes on easily and stays put well. The colours are sumptuous, and having the toning quad palette with a 'cheat sheet' on the back is a godsend for those of us who are a bit timid when it comes to eye make-up. The only complaint I would make is about the totally useless sponge-tipped applicator. They seem to pick up far too much colour and then fall apart within minutes. Don't know why they even bother to include them! Have had much more success with eye shadow brushes.
Tips: Throw the applicator away straight off and get eye shadow brushes instead.
I rather like this quad, I was given it as part of a Christmas present last year and it has been one of my go-to eyeshadows for everything from simple weekday makeup to smoky eyes on the weekends, all it takes is a little smudged eyeliner to give it a bit more oomph and you're away laughing. The pigmentation is pretty good and I haven't had any fall out issues which is always a bonus. A handy wee quad to have with nice colour combos.
I used to use these eyeshadows daily before I knew any better! They are poorly pigmented, a bit chalky (lots of fall out) and crease easily.
