MAYBELLINE QUADS & EYESTUDIO CLEARANCE COLOR

Welcome back,


                 One item I will share with you today I got on a deep discount which is a Maybelline Eyestudio quint. On a separate shopping day I also picked up two more of the new formulation/ new packaging Maybelline quads. I already did one review on 3 of these new formulation quads if you want to take a look at those colours click on the link below
Maybelline QUADS 1ST REVIEW


MAYBELLINE EYESTUDIO-15 FOREST FURY
I really like the greens offered up in this quint. They are super soft and have excellent colour payoff. I don't know why I have not tried these sooner, very pleased.




At the top is a creamy champagne highlight that has noticeable iridescent glitter. The dark green in the middle has a satin finish. The lime green to the left and the sea foam green to the right are both very bold colours that run more metallic along with the yellow at the bottom that has a tiny hint of a green undertone.
I highly recommend these eyeshadows especially if you like big impact colour


MAYBELLINE EXPERT WEAR QUAD- NATURAL SMOKES
A very pleasant nude quad that can be used for day or night looks. This quad consists of two matte and two shimmer shadows.




I feel this is one of the very best of the new formulation quads out of the five I have purchased. The texture of the shadows are all really soft, even the ones with shimmer. The pigmentation is excellent especially that dark chocolate brown on the right end. I hope you all give this quad a try. I feel this one will be a hot seller for those that love their neutrals. The shimmer on my middle finger is a slivery taupe and the bronze on my ring finger has an ever so slight burgundy tinge if you take a look in person.


EXPERT WEAR QUAD- CHAI LATTE
This quad has a soft dusty beige base colour, a rich cooper that is a little deeper then Maybelline's single pan colour called "Copper Craze". The crease colour is a gentle cocoa powder brown and the liner shade is a warm moka brown with goldish/red fine glitter.





From L2R-This quad has a satin base colour, the lid shade is shimmer, the crease shade is matte and the liner shade is fine glitter.

I am more satisfied with the purchase of these two quads then I was with the three I purchased earlier in December. I say these should be on your list of inexpensive quads to get soon.



HAVE ANY OF YOU PICKED UP THE NEWLY FORMULATED QUADS, IF SO WHAT COLOURS DID YOU PICK???

THANKS FOR READING AND HAVE A GREAT DAY

XOXO:)

HIT & MISS WITH THE OLD FORMULA (MAYBELLINE EXPERT WEAR QUADS)

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


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
