We got this free when we bought a whole lot of Revlon in bulk for the purposes of ball make up at work. Feeling the texture it is fairly silky but not the best some seem a little chalky but not bad the pigmentation is not very good though if you want something subtle then this is good for beginners the fact that two are bigger than the other two in this quad is a bit weird the applicator is so so your own brushes will work better how long the colour lasts is not true to claim really unless you have the right skin texture and wear primer underneath. Blending is easy enough but for the price and only four shadows I do not think I would buy more of them the brown in the picture above could double as a brow definer. Nothing huge to rave about but not bad.

Perfect neutral palette to take on the go. I like to through these minis in to my handbag, for travelling or keep in my desk at work. Pigmentation is not the best and will need to be built up.
This eyeshadow is really good. When you apply it, it stays longer. very nice but the price is expensive. If you buy this at Postie, it costs you only 10 bucks!!!
A bit too powdery, not enough colour and not enough staying power. Description promises too much, and it doesn't quite live up. It is however very blendable.
Tips: Clean eyelids, and primer!
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!
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!
I'm a bit of an eyeshadow snob, but the purple palette of this totally caught my eye. I like it. Good pigmentation, long lasting (not sure I'd ever get through a 16 hour day with it on, I must be a Nana!) - and they apply and blend well. I like that Revlon have a guide on the back for novices to suggest where to apply colours in certain places on the eye.
BUT.... For the price that we pay in NZ though - seriously? Can get higher end cosmetics online, shipped to NZ for cheaper than what Revlon sells their products for in NZ. This makes me really sad!
I used the pallet featured in the image, and it is a great daytime look for my pale skin and blue eyes. It is not highly pigmented, so if you want more color, you'll have to press a bit. However, I like the subtlety. I would keep this in my purse for work as it is a great all-arounder; no other eyeshadow needed. The biggest downside is that it does crease quite easily, so primer is definitely needed.
Definitely doesn't last 16 hours, maybe 5 if you're lucky. Quite crumbly/chalky. I like how it has the guide on the back for where to apply and it is a good mix of colours but its definitely not quality eye shadow.
I got this from a gift with purchase. I found it not as successful as other Revlon eyeshadows I have used which was a bit disappointing and found that the colours were quite powdery and lacked pigmentation particularly the dark brown (this was the quad above) Having said that I have found with these quads that some colours last/apply better than others so it is a shame about the lack of consistency.
