What I Say:
As soon as I saw these colours from across the room I fainted with delight then sprinted to the Maybeline stand! I'm having a really big purple moment right now and am attracted to said hue like a moth to the flame! I mean seriously how INSANE is the top left purple!? SWOOOOON!
I've swatched the shadows in artificial light:
So as you can see, the colour payoff is not that great when swatched, but when applied to the eye the colours seem to explode off the lid! I'm not sure why... because the skin is of a different texture? Anywho, here is my look:
This quad was a dream to use. The colours were very easy to apply and the explanation of how to blend the different shades really helps when you're having a blank moment. There is a bit of fall out with these shadows to ensure you do your eyes before your foundation. The black shadow needed to be watered down to get a good pay off, but I can deal with that!
I will definitely be purchasing more of these shadows- I love them! They are really great for a girl on a budget and they are easily accessible!
This quad retails for $16.95 at Target, Kmart, Terry White Chemists, Priceline, Myer and David Jones!

Sweep the lighter shade onto your lid. Blend the medium shade into your crease. Apply the lightest shade to your browbone and the inner corner of your eye. Blend the darkest shade into the outer corner and long lower lash line
