I typically only write reviews if things are overwhelmingly bad or good. Unfortunately this falls into the bad category. The colors seem really nice in the package, but that's where it ends. To get even the slightest bit of color to show up on your lids you literally need to cake this on. And even then it hardly looks like you're wearing anything. And I have a very pale complexion, so usually makeup looks very pigmented on me that I typically need to use an extra light hand when applying shadows. I'm probably going to give it to my little 6 year old cousin as playtime makeup. I'll never buy it again.

These have no pigmentation! The look in the pan looks alright, but when I put it on, it does nothing! Never again, actually the whole Rimmell line I dislike, don't like any of their products.

Cute package, but wicked dusty product! My lashes were coated in this powder so bad, I had to clean them before applying mascara. Never again.

As described by others, this quad is chalky, very little colour payoff, no staying power - and almost seems like 'play' make-up. No glide, no stick and makes your lids dry - which I have never had. This is the second time I bought Rimmel shadow with the same result - and they are probably of lesser quality than Wet N Wild.

Wow - very sheer, no staying power. Will be returning it, I am that disappointed in it.

I really regret buying his eyeshadow quad. The eyeshadow is chalky and has minimal coverage. I had to go over the colors 3 to 4 times to get solid coverage (and that's over an eye primer).

Even if it was only $6 I still wouldn't recommend it.

I really like how these shadows look on my eyes. I used all 4 shadows the way the package describes, with a light hand, and the look was very subtle, but effective. I have brown eyes and the package says that this quad complements Green Eyes, but I think these shadows are flattering on me as well. I dont think the color pay off is any thing amazing, but they are adequate. I use TF primer and Clinique Lid Smoothie as bases for my really oily, greasy eyelids. The color shows up nicely against this.
I like this Smokey Purple quad because it is made up of more muted "nude" shades, it doesn't scream purple, it just has a purple hue to all the colors. If you want brighter vibrant colors this palette is not for you. Target had these on sale for $3 + change, so I feel the price was right.

I wanted to really love this quad, because I've always been looking for a product that resembled Jennifer Aniston's Rumor Has It shadow palette. This comes very close but the only problem is the eye shadows don't have such strong staying power, and they come off a little lighter than I expected. The packaging is pretty basic. I paid $7 for it.
