WHOOP THERE IT IS MAYBELLINE
It would seem that Maybelline is doing some revamping of their packaging. I saw these quads at my local Walmart on rollback for $3.96, so hey! why not and there are some beautiful colours to be had here.
This first set is called LUMINOUS LILACS, here are the swatches
I find the highlights are pretty, but weak and gritty in texture, the taupe is strongest for colour payoff and the purple is too but is chalky and skips when applying. This quad offers 2 shimmer, a glitter and a matte which is the purple, which is why I imagine its a lot dryer.
This next quad is called LAVENDER SMOKES, here are the swatches
The two darkest shades are nice and buttery and the lightest shade is dusty and the pink at top right again has that gritty texture, but the colours are beautiful. I figure even if I use mainly the darker shades it was still worth $4. 3 of the shades are shimmer and the top pink one is a shimmer with fine glitter, which is probably why it feels gritty :/
This quad is called Electric Blue and speaks for it self. It is amazing in terms of colour and out of the three the most consistent in terms of texture for all 4 colours. All very soft, a little chalky, but I think what people will love about this particular quad is that all the colours apply matte.
I already have a matte black so that's not a plus there, but the rest of the colours will be a lot of fun to play with, especially as I have been wanting more matte shadows as of late. The cobalt blue is the clear winner here.
I would say if you love nude/rose/neutrals grab the Lavender Smokes. If you want high impact matte shades get the Electric Blue. As for the Luminous Lilacs I would say skip it because the only really stand out colour in that set is the taupe/grey.
I HAVE NOT ACTUALLY USED ANY OF THESE YET TO DO A LOOK WITH, SO I CAN NOT SAY HOW WELL THEY PERFORM ON THE EYE AND THE OVERALL STAYING POWER. (I WILL TRY TO UPDATE AT A LATER TIME)
Like I said for $4 its fine if not all of them turned out to be completely awesome and I am sure I will put quite a few shades to good use over all.
There were a couple of other quads that caught my eye so I may get them and see how they work out as well.
LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS IF YOU HAVE SEEN THESE REPACKAGED QUADS AND IF YOU BOUGHT ANY?????
THANKS FOR COMING BACK TO MAKEUP'ASYLUM
