I got this over the holiday season in a limited-edition palette of ten colors ("warm and toasty") that caught my eye in Target. The colors are beautiful, nice and sheer, but don't last very long. I would not purchase again.

I got a set of these a while back (Va va va Bloom) and unfortunately they creased badly and had no staying power at all. I don't have particularly oily lids and I use a base but I still find them just plain messy. The only way I can wear these is along my lashline or on my browbone. Applying these to my crease is just asking for touble.
Truly a pity. The colour combinations are really pretty and I have been tempted to try them again (thinking "maybe they've changed"...) but I'm gunshy.
They're also pretty pricey for a drugstore line. It's hard to spend $10 in the name of experimentation for 4 tiny pots of creame e/s...

These shadows crease horrible, even with foundation and powder. The shades are really pretty, but this product is almost unusable. After about 3 hours this stuff ends up halfway down my face.

I really, really want to wear this and am hoping that someone can tell me how. Because the colors are so, so pretty, and that's the only reason it got 2 lippies instead of 1. I bought the quad in 'skinlights'. It consists of a pale apricot shade, a rosier golden shade, a neutral white shade and a darker brown shade. The first time I applied this, I applied with nothing under it. It creased within 5 minutes (no joke!). So, I tried putting it over a primer -- crease city. Tried foundation under it, still creased. In fact, I find that when I apply this, I can't even get to the end of applying all my makeup without seeing it crease before I'm done! Is there some "Revlon secret" that I'm not privy to? I don't even think I have oily eyelids, but with this shadow I definately do! If anyone can tell me how to apply this so it STAYS, I'd be grateful. I can't buy this again because of it and that's sad, because the colors in this line are so, so pretty!!

I got a very neutral palette "Skinlight"---Wonderful colors, but it doesn't have ANY staying power...it creased very easily.
I won't buy it again even though I like their color combinaision a lot.

i have these in precious metals and must say wow! the colors are so pretty! the gold and bluey/silver look awesome mixed together or alone and the copper really brings out my blue eyes. the burgundy color is my favorite for a smoky eye look because i can get that smoky eye/red lipstick look without looking overdone! and i have fair skin! love, love, love and will definately repurchase!

i have about 5 of these and i intend on getting them all. they blend so smoothly and they have great staying power. i have oily lids and these stayed on for over 6 hours til i took them off. i don't have a problem with creasing because i have no eye crease.

What pretty colors these are. Only gripe is, they can be a bit cumbersome and messy to use; you either have to use a separate applicator (Revlon doesn't provide this) or your fingers. I bought one of the first ones that ever came out which had a Scandinavian them with neutrals and a pretty, understated blue shade. These got me thru four weeks in Europe this summer; good staying power (even in heat), nice colors, and a good deal for the $. Would buy again.

Lovely colors, and smooth formula. Too bad there is absolutely no staying power whatsoever. I love playing with my quad, but my work is all for nothing because these simply slide off. =(
