Very nice color selection, nice price, the matte brown is so pretty and the shimmery one too. I use the lighter color under the brow bone to highlight.The packaging seems so fragile, I prefer something with a little bit more weight.

I am really impressed with this coffee bean eyeshadow. I find this to be long lasting and the color selection is pretty! It has such pretty browns in the palette. The lighter shades are nice and all blended together they seem to result in a subtle smoky look.

This is pretty nice. The colors aren't that dark though so you won't get that much color payoff. It's a nice, neutral daytime look and you can't beat the price. I've been using this when I'm in a hurry and need to look finished, fast.

Love it. Perfect for my pale skin/olive eyes. natural for day, can make it dramatic for night. The new version in the Colourstay formulation is just not the same, good but different formula and colour depth. A favourite of mine. Love it. Packaging hinges always break on these. but still a winner in my books.

I love this quad. The colors are perfect and if you don' want to buy a high end neutral quad, this is for you. I like to think of this as the "poor girl's" alternative to the bb neutral palette. Love bb's line but spending a lot of money for eye color isn't me. Now, her lip colors are worth every penny.

I also like that only one color is a shimmer. otherwise, you could look "overdone." each color works together beautifully so there is no way you could mess up---great for daytime and if you are running around on the weekends.

it's the perfect "no makeup" look.

This eyeshadow is very pretty. As far as quality, I was impressed for a drugstore brand. I am used to Christian Dior/MAC/Keven Aucoin eyeshadow and I am trying to cut back on my makeup spending, so I thought I would give this a try. It has okay pigment... some of the lighter shades require a heavy hand. I always use eyeshadow with a base or primer, so I can't say how this would look on a bare eyelid. For the price, I definitely can't complain. The colors blend well and it is nice to have them all together in one palette. I will try some different looks with these.

Brown chalk. Not improved by applying wet. Flat colors,Even the frost is flat. Will not last more than a few hours before fading away.

When my first Revlon wet/dry quad in Coffee Bean ran out I went back to where I purchased it to buy a few more. This was seriously the first time I have ever used a whole eyeshadow quad and not just ran out of one colour. I was then informed that they don't make it anymore and I had to buy the Colorstay 12 Hour Eyeshadow Quad in Coffee Bean which is nice, but just not the same texture. I miss the revlon wet/dry shadows they are amazing and I hope to see them back in BC someday:(

I have been using this quad for years because it creates the perfect daytime professional look. I like how 3 of the 4 colors are matte because shimmer does not look good on me. I use the lightest neutral all over my eye area as a base, the slighly darker tan in my crease and the darkest brown as a liner. If I want a more dramatic look I will put a little of the shimmery bronze color in my crease as well, although I find it works great as my daily eyebrow filler because the shimmer really isn't that noticeable. It does crease on me after about 6 hours and the colors start to wear off. But until I find a better quad, I'm going to stick with this. I tried straying to Milani, but found all the colors I picked up were much too shiny/sparkly even though they looked matte in the pan.

These look as beautiful in the pan as they are on my eyes. Gives a nice, bronzy glow to my eyes thats perfect for the daytime and for work. the foam applicators suck, but fingers work just as well.

I bought this quad because I saw it some time ago in ALLURE magazine. I love it. The colors are well coordinated, soft and pigmented, I don't find them to crease, but I do find they don't last 12 hours. The lasted like 6 hours on me, after this time the colors began to fade. I don't reapply shadow during the day, so I didn't think the fading was so cool. But I love the colors, so I guess I won't mind reapplying every 6 hours.

I didn't think I needed more neutral eyeshadow but since it was on sale, I decided to try it. I have many "single" packs of eyeshadow and I liked the idea of everything in one compact.

I used 3 shades for going to a wedding, and was happy that they blended well because I didn't have alot of time to fuss over my makeup. After 10 hours on a warm day, the colors still looked good, with maybe a tiny bit of creasing. I used the darkest shade as a liner on both the upper and lower lid, and it stayed in place without turning into a ring around my eye. Best of all, the shades weren't glittery, as so many seem to be lately.

Love this quad!!! I did not buy it for a long time because I thought it might be too dark for me since I'm not used to wearing colors that look this dark in the package, but I bought them after seeing that a model w/ my similar coloring was wearing them in "Shop, Etc." this month. I love the colors. Like another review says, the dark colors are great for a more dramatic look, and the light colors are awesome for a really nice neutral and light look.

Love this eyeshadow quad in Coffee Bean. I got these this weekend have and worn all four colours to dramatic effect at dinner on Saturday night and lightly while out shopping on Sunday afternoon. The shadow lasts and lasts, the colours are neutral but can be built on for a dramatic smoky look, so versatile and very sexy. Love it. Would buy again.

Hi!I am a huge Revlon lipstick fan,and I love brown eyeshadows,so I was in love when I saw the Coffee Bean quad at my drugstore a few years back!All four of the colors in this quad are gorgeous, wet or dry,and really go well on my super pale skin!Like most eyeshadows,they do crease,but only after several,several hours of wear.Yes,they are kinda expensive for drugstore makeup,but they're worth it!

Revlon Wet/Dry are among the best low-end eyeshadows on the current market. I find the Coffee Bean quad are lovely neutral shades for everyday wear, and are pigmented enough to show up on my NC20 skintone without having to apply the shades wet. Long lasting, silky smooth to apply and blend, and never creases.

First I loved this. I wanted to collect them all and received lot of different colors in the swaps. However I came to see that darkest colors did not look like they look on the pan. The browns come more yellow and muddy that what they look in the pan. This one just looks muddy. It stays all day though and never creases. Wont buy again.
