Hi everyone,
So my local Shoppers Drug Mart was doing a clearance on Maybelline expert wear quads at $4.50 each so I picked up 4. I have read mixed reviews on these shadows, but in the grand scheme of things I would rather try it for myself unless the general consensus is a "Fail".
Jumping right in the first one is
LUMINOUS LIGHTS QUAD IN OPAL LIGHTS 75Q
So my local Shoppers Drug Mart was doing a clearance on Maybelline expert wear quads at $4.50 each so I picked up 4. I have read mixed reviews on these shadows, but in the grand scheme of things I would rather try it for myself unless the general consensus is a "Fail".
Jumping right in the first one is
LUMINOUS LIGHTS QUAD IN OPAL LIGHTS 75Q
This particular quad I would recommend using the shades for highlighting. They are all very light, airy and ethereal and leave a beautiful glow. Just a hair dusty when rubbing your brush across them.
STYLISH SMOKES 08Q EMERALD SMOKES
Perfect quad of greens with a micro fine glitter in the darkest shade
MODERN METALLICS 24Q ENCHANTED FOREST
I love the green in this quad as it gives off a steel blue undertone in different angles of light, also the brown is a true rich coffee brown that can be used with many other shadow colours.
and to round out the Maybelline expert wear eyeshadow review is
MODERN METALLICS 50Q SUNLIT BRONZE
This is probably my fave out of the four that I purchased, I love anything reminiscent of sand, sun and glowing skin.
I probably would not pay full price for these as I do find the lighter shades a bit dusty and the pigmentation is a little weak. However they do wear well throughout the day and they are good for more everyday use because the colour is a little more gentle. I also think that to get 16 colours for $20 is a good deal and it works out to be 19.2g total product so that's definitely a plus as well.
LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THESE MAYBELLINE QUADS OR ANY OTHER COLOURS IN THE COLLECTION????
THANK YOU ALL FOR CONTINUING TO SHOW YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT TO MAKEUP'ASYLUM
XOXO
These look so pretty, I love the Modern Metallics 24 Q Enchanted Forest, the pigmentation looks great.

Yeah that brown and green are so delish. Thanks for reading sweet heart. Xo
DeleteI don't have any of these. I have only one Maybelline quad in Amethyst smokes and it gets pushed aside for others that have a bit more pigmentation. I got a great deal on it, so I'm not terribly disappointed. Great post. Thanks for sharing your finds with us dear!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any of these but I'm with you...I like the last quad the best. I'm a sucker for neutrals. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteJust wait for my two posts coming up on the new formulation ones, some good ones to be had there;)
DeleteI have two Maybelline quads that I ended up passing on to a friend who's beginning to experiment and dabble with makeup. I had a browns one and a black/grey/purple one. They weren't nothing to rave over for me =( I'm glad that you did get these on clearance! That's a really good deal! Thank you love for sharing this with us! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI hear that. However some...not all of the new formulation are a little more promising. Those reviews coming up:)
