Review: Elf Brightening Quad~Blue Moon

Hello everyone!  I have hit pan on every single shade in this quad almost right after these pictures! lol  I will go from right to left. Navy: this is the most pigmented of all these shades! It is basically a matte navy with mild pearlesent ness.  I love it to set eyeliner. Pale Blue: This is perfect for a lid color because it is so rich and the mild shimmer makes you look awake and ready for the day!  Brown: This is a nice brown that could be better but I like it because of that.  It is easier to work with and I love it for so many things.  Champagne: This has a little bit more shimmer in it than the rest but is a nice translucent color perfect for a wash all over, the brow bone, toning down white eyeliner, or for the lid!  I love how this is perfect for beginners exploring more colorful shades!

All of the eye shadows in this are very smooth and gorgeous. they glide on easily and are not chunky on the eyelid!  This is nice for beginners because it is $1 and the shades have an amount of pigment that is good for experimenting.

I could find this at Dollar Tree, Big Lots, and Target stores.  If you can, this is really good! Especially for blue eyed girlies! Luv Y'all!
Pros: inexpensive, great texture, good colors, great for beginners, not chalky, perfect pigmentation, portable
Cons: hmmm....none?

Review: Elf Brightening Quad~Drama


The ELf quad in Drama is perfect for a dramatic smokey eye in one palette. The matte white is nice in a pallett of shimmers. The gunmetal is perfect for the crease and the silver on the lid. Then all you have to do is pop the black in for definition and you're good!



white: as you can already see, this is a very pigmented white. this was only one swipe and this is the only eyeshadow in this quad that I have not hit pan on. gunmetal: This may look pigmented, but it is not. I practicaly scrubed for this much pigment. this is also chalk full of glitter. black: Again this is not the best because it has major fallout and a lot of glitter but is more pigmented and workable than the others. silver: Mostly glitter and it fallsout so easily unless used wet. Looks really pretty on the eyes. These shades can all be worked with except the gunmetal.........



So even though this is a good palete, it is difficult to work with because of all the glitter and low pigment. My tip: use wet.

Pros: its great to have everything in one palette. The white is exraordinary and the rest can be dealt with. Inexpensive

Cons: almost every shade is glitter galore! this causes so much follout and low pigmentation.
