I'm not even sure I can class this as a palette, it's more of a quad but if there are more than one eyeshadow in the same set...it's a palette in this circumstance!
Revlon released these Colourstay quads quite recently and they come in a wide array of shades. They claim 16-hour wear but in all honesty...who needs to wear eyeshadow for 16 hours? The shade I have for you today is 'Adventurous' which is a lovely earthy brown quad. I was a sucker for that shimmery green colour!
I like how Revlon shows you which shade to use on your eyes on the back of the packaging which I thought was a nice touch. The first shade is a pretty highlight colour (if on the slight 'white' side), the second shade is a gorgeous shimmery olive green which was the deal breaker for me! I don't have anything like this in my collection and really goes well with the 'Adventurous' theme. The third shade a deep bronzy brown that is more on the gold side and last but not least, shade four is a dark aubergine/purple/mauve colour.
I wish the packaging itself was more attractive as the shades are housed in black plastic casing and comes with a tiny sponge applicator. At £7.99 for this quad, I would have thought Revlon would have 'upped' their packaging ideas slightly to make it stand out from their other eyeshadow ranges. Nonetheless, the shades are really pigmented and I really want to prise myself away from neutral shades and be a bit more experimental with these colours!
The Revlon Colorstay Quads retail for £7.99 each, come in a wide array of shades and are available in Boots, Superdrug or online.
What do you think? Do you own this quad in any other shades?

This neutral palette looks lush, I adore neutrals and are always on the lookout for new ones. I know what you mean about the packaging sometimes it can look a little outdated in comparison to other brands :(

I believe someone can never have too many neutrals!

Number 2 is so gorgeous. It kind of reminds me of Nars nightclubbing which is one of my favourite eyeshadows. I've never bought any eyeshadows from Revlon so this is intriguing :) x
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I didn't realise it was a Nars dupe! Kind of excited about it now :) I would definitely give it a try!
