These quads are of great quality. The colours all work wonderfully together to create either a subtle or bold look depending on how heavy-handedly you work. The highlighter shade in my quad which is the "07 Over The Taupe" is excellent. Very creamy and not chalky at all. I find the 2nd darkest and darkest to be my favourite though although I must say the transition colour is wonderful as well.

I do find though that you have to layer the product to get a very pigmented look as they are not as intense as some of the other essence eyeshadows. They work wonderfully on the go as a travel quad. You get 2 mattes and 2 shimmers which are your basic shadows for creating an eye look with some depth.

I just wish they had a much wider colour variety. I have only spotted 3 so far. Mine, a warm neutrals one and an emerald one. I would love to get one in Maroon shades, purples and blues and maybe one super shimmery, glittery one to add dazzle to your eyes.

This product can be purchased at Dischem at R52.95

I have mine in the shade of 13

"Laugh, love, lime"

Which is a green collection.

It comes with 4 colours.

Mine has white, light green, dark green ( very dark ) and a turquoise type of colour.

These 4 colours go very nicely together. I purchased this to do a "Poison Ivy" look and it worked very well.

Only negative: These colours are also not that intense so you have to apply a lot.

I just love pre-selected eyeshadow kits! It makes choosing colours that work together so much easier. Having a kit like this saves space and you don’t have any unwanted colours that will just go to waste.This set has 4 beautiful colours that are great to use for a smokey eye.

Packaging of the product:



The packaging is small and compact making it space friendly and easy to carry around when you are on the go,

or traveling. It is a circular see through case with black branding giving it a element of class.

Eyeshadows:

I took the No.14 magenta and me! which is extremely cute but sophisticated colours.

Two shades of nude and two shades of purple, one being very bright and the other being very dark,

making it great for a summertime day to night look.
The lightest shade of nude, which has a pinkish tone is very light pigmented making it ideal for higher up the eyelid.

The second shade of nude looks more silver/brown but when applied it is a very strong pigmented silver.
The bright shade of purple is what attracted me to the compact but disappointed when I applied it,

it was not as pigmented as expected and more of a pink then purple, but its not the end of the world.

The dark shade of purple is easily applied and you do not have to “force” the shadow on.

Overall I am happy with the product especially for R52.95 which is GREAT value for money.

This particular set is very versatile and can be worn in a myriad of ways! For fresh faced natural the pink and the charcoal grey as a liner! For an evening out use the charcoal and real to build a smokey eye and use the pink as a highlighter! For a soft romantic look pair the pink and the pastel blue! My only drawback here is that the eyeshadow seems to disappear into my skin after a few hours!
