QUO *NEW* SUMMER PALETTE "UNTAMED ALLURE", ULTIMATE BAKED COLLECTION, NAIL POLISH AND MORE..

In more recent times I am becoming more of a fan and a supporter of the private label to Shopper's Drug Mart called QUO. I realize these products are not readily available to everyone everywhere, but they are excellent products and if you live in Canada or know someone who can get them for you they are worth your time and money.

They have many items available in their hard lines, but they also bring out seasonal collections which I always like to see what they have come up with next. The packaging alone is often beautiful designs and top notch quality.

So to start I just purchased a new eye palette from the QUO summer collection called UNTAMED ALLURE. This palette offers up ten eyeshadow's each one is .9g and two cream eyeliner's and each of those are .7g



 

 
This palette package is so nice and for a fan of animal prints of any kind this is a must have. There is a second palette that has more neutral tones and the case has a blue animal print lid which was gorgeous, but I have so many nude shadows already I opted for this instead. I like the alternating pattern within the eyeshadows and there are 4 satin and 4 shimmer colours and ironically 1 matte which is a light lavender. Maybe two matte options may have been a safer bet. This palette goes for $18
The colour pay off is good, but not superior. However for everyday business casual use this is perfect for professional ladies looking for subtle tones. That leads me in to the next product.
 
 
The ULTIMATE BAKED COLLECTION. This collection was introduced for the Spring line. This palette opens like a book which I personally like. On one side is directions to achieve a look and the other side houses 12 baked eye shadows and two baked blushes and a full size eyeshadow brush. That brush alone is a great deal in this kit because Quo brushes are not cheap and they are so luxuriously soft.
 


 
 
 

EYESHADOW'S
 
BLUSHES

 
So as you can see from the previous palette to this one the pigmentation of the colours in this set is phenom. I would love these shadows in the animal print case that would be perfect.
This baked palette normal is $32, but I scored mine for $18
 
 
Also from the spring line I purchased one of the "Pearl Kisses Lip Glosses" in the colour PASSIONATE PINK
I really like Quo's packing every collection they have brought out has offered up something unique and different from one to the next. This lip gloss has a rose gold cap and matching chain tassel with a small pearl and high heel charm, very cute idea's.
 

 
I really like Quo's glosses they apply nicely and are quite smooth and don't feel tacky on the lips. This is a very sheer gentle pink that can be worn alone or over top your favorite pink lipsticks.
This gloss is 6.5ml and normally they retail for $12, I got mine for $3.
 
Then also from the Spring line and on sale were two of the eyeliners the first colour is PATINA
and applies a very icy blue tone. I love these types of colours because they really add that extra something to the lash line and make anyone`s eye`s stand out much more.

 ICE PINK
 
I put the Ice Pink next to the blue to show how light and delicate this colour is. I personally feel I will have more fun using with the blue. These are very soft pencils so you do not need to press hard and that applies to all Quo pencil`s. The thin pencils are about $8 I paid $3.
 
 
I also bought one of the jumbo "Electric Eye's Pencil" in the colour SPARK at first I saw they were on for $5.99, but it only applied to this shade. I originally wasn't going to get it as I did prefer another one that was more a pistachio colour. However that was not on sale. So the reason I bought this is because it turned out not to be a boring white pencil after all. When applied it flashes purple/pink which is gorgeous and fun.


 
 
I wore this as my eye liner today and I love the shine out in the sunlight. There are about 7 different colours to choose from. This jumbo pencils are regularly $12. I personally think that's a bit much, but then again anything over $10 I usually complain. ;P
 
Finally the last items are two nail polishes both are glitter based one is called SUPER CUTE and the other is MY MUSE. Super cute is a really nice pink with golden pink glitter laced through it. My Muse is a purple and silver glitter combo. I find the glitter in "Super Cute" a little finer or it might merely be the colour making it look that way.
 
 SUPER CUTE
 
 MY MUSE
 
Quality wise these are great nail polishes as this is a Quo collaboration with Orly so its right up there with the like's of Opi and China Glaze. There are new colours coming out often and when the less recent one's go on sale you can scoop them up for about $4 like I did with these. They are full size at 14ml and new colour collections are $10.
If you love nail polish this is a polish worth looking at.
 
So that is my QUO haul for today, hope you all enjoyed it.
