REVLON PHOTOREADY PRIMER + SHADOW PALETTES & L'OREAL BRAZEN BOLD SHADOW QUAD

So in case you are just starting to read my blogs or for those that aren't aware. Eyeshadow is by far my favoured choice when it comes to buying cosmetics. I think that nothing makes a bigger statement then our eyes because they are the windows to our soul. I do feel that you should emphasis what ever feature you feel is your best, so for me it is eye's.

Yes that's what we are talking about today more beautiful delicious eyeshadows.

First up is Revlon Photoready eyeshadow with primer.
My first pick was the palette called BOHEMIAN which you can check out my Instagram to see my eyes of the day I did using this palette.


 
I love these colours and the name chosen for this palette I think is perfectly suited. These are very shimmery and colour payoff is excellent. The thing I like most about these shadows they are super soft like suede and go on flawlessly. The other thing I like is that if you leave out the blue you can make a very nice neutral eye with the remaining colours. The one thing I don't like is the concept within the palette of the eye and lid shape. Yes its esthetically nice to look at, but a flaw in my books because colours transfer between each other when working with them unless your super careful.
 
My second choice is the palette called POP ART this palette leans more towards a smokey sultry eye with the rich gold and deeper black with a gold glitter infused throughout and a very unusual silver/blue shade. There is also a very neat glitter shade which is a small square its a green/yellow base with very pretty green glitter that would look amazing for a New Year party look.
 

 
Each palette is 2.8g which is about the same quantity if you bought two MAC single pan eyeshadows, except with this your getting five colours. Each colour in these palettes has a specific use such as a lid primer, bottom lid shade, crease, highlight and sparkle top coat.
The best part is that this week in the "Rexall Pharma Plus" flyer all Revlon eye products are $6.99 so I priced matched that at my local WalMart. This is a great buy because each palette is normally $12 WOW $$$ BIG SAVE
 
The last item to share today is L'Oreal's colour riche BRAZEN BOLDS quad in the colour NEON SKIRT. I have been looking at this for a while and finally decided to get it only because I had enough SHOPPERS DRUG MART Optimum points to cover the cost of it. There are a couple more I would like to eventually get and try, but in the cosmetic world or with anything it's never ending.
 

 
The pink, white and yellow gold tend to be quite shimmery and the green is a bit more matte, but with a super fine glitter that you must look very hard to see. Again this type of palette is all complimentary colours intended to all work seamlessly together. So if your a novice at makeup these simple quads are a good starting point. They also provide step by step instructions on the back to help you achieve a flawless look using all the colours.
These quads are 4.8g/.17oz and cost normally about $12-$14 depending on where you shop. It was on sale at Shoppers Drug Mart for $10.50, but again I used my points so for me it was essentially free.
 
 
So that sums up today's review on all things "SHADOW"
