I've done an eye of the day using just this product. The light grey colour is all over my lower lid, the grey/plum colour in my crease and outer-v, the white as a highlight for my brow bone and inner eye, and the mint under my lower lashes. Apologies for the mascara failure onto my lids - I should have covered it up with eyeliner!
So what do I think of this product? Well for £5.99 it's not a bad price and I like the colours. BUT, and it is a big but, the shadows are not very good quality, although they are quite pigmented. Maybe I've been spoiled by Urban Decay and Mac, but I found them to be flakey, powdery and full of fall out. They are also really hard to blend and to get an even application. I found myself over-blending which left me with a slightly muddy look. I also found that even using UDPP, they tend to separate out a bit as the day goes on.
So on the plus side, it's a cheap and cheerful quad, with lovely colours and you can do a full look from it. However, I'd expect better quality from Revlon, and ovarall, I wasn't impressed with this.
What are your experiences with Revlon? I find them a bit hit or miss myself!
Thanks for reading. xx
It looks lovely :)
ReplyDeleteI tend to stay clear of eyeshadows unless they're Mac or UD, as I always find the same as you described, flaky and not very *stay on friendly*..
I ahve 1 good Revlon product, which is a mascara, called Double twist, very very good ..
It's abit light, like you say for Revlon I would want something that comes out a bit heavy in colour and tone. Even for the price it should still be good, maybe try damping the lid first this well help the shadow to stick better. I do this with some of my palettes that come out transparent, to try and bring out the colour. I love the shades in the palette, you should try sleek, I am a sleek addicted same price range but the colour is amazing. You can get it online as well, if you want any advice on Lush stuff just give me a shout. You have beautiful eyes by the way xxx
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of the neutral ones - Coffee Bean and... um, I think one called Neutral Khaki or something similar. I like them well enough - they're good for work. However, here in Australia they're about $20 each and they are definitely not worth that much.
ReplyDeleteYours is pretty, but I could never pull off a green that light.
It does look a little bit light, but it still looks pretty...your eyelashes are lovely and long!

ReplyDeleteThanks for all your comments - I might try them dampened! I've just had my eyelashes permed, so they look really long! x
