omg u all were right again :} awsome pallettte for my asian skintone...texture is smooth and creamy...great pigmentation...very little fallout. and does not irritate my uber sensitive eyes WOW. TIP on how to use the green so its not wasted...i apply my physicians formula black felt pen booster eyeliner then using a eyeliner brush swoop up some of the green and apply over the black. o my goodness the coolest effect ever not navy blue and not green..like a dark turqoisish? with tons of depth not washed out at all...try it! going to get copper chic next since its so highly rated as well :}}

This is the first time I've used any pallet from the eye studio collection ,I'm so glad that I did the colors are bright, pigmented and buttery.These don;t even need a primer the lasting power is impressive esp with minimal fading.
The quad comes with a cream dark brown, cranberry and a blueish green which doesn;t goes with the rest of the palette but is just as pretty .
If you haven't try these palette these are a must if you want vibrant colors, nothing classic or muted about them.

This quad is beautiful! I bought last year and didn't really use it. Now I'm forcing myself to use what I have and found this. The colors are pigmented. They are soft and silky. I have found very little fall out. The best part for me is they last all day without a primer. There are very few drugstore eye shadows that can do that. I will be purchasing more of these!

When choosing amongst the Maybelline eyeshadow quads, the green eyeshadow really stood out and I just had to have it. I've always been a fan of Maybelline eyeshadows due to their great selection of colours and great pigmentation but these quads are la creme de la creme.

These eyeshadows have a velvet-like feel to them and its application and blending are flawless.
The first colour is a champagne beige. I only wish it showed up a bit more but I would use it as a highlight and on the inner duct for a simple natural eye.
The second colour is a light orange-copper. Great pigment but it doesn't go well with my skin tone so this one I hardly touch.
The third colour is truly that irresistible ivy green. It's a bit cool toned but absolutely beautiful.
The fourth colour is a deep brown. I love this colour and I often use it to blend other looks together as it gives such a beautiful warm tone.


All in all, I've hit the bottom of the pan for the green eyeshadow. I only wish Maybelline used the same silk formula for all of their other eyeshadows and that they sold the green and brown in singles.

This product line was 50% at CVS so I picked up a few. The only one I kept was this one "Irresistibly Ivy". The pigmentation of this quad is outstanding. All four shades are vibrant w/ or w/o primer. Also, all shades look very pretty together and blend very well. This quad is very long lasting as well. I am so happy I picked this up on a whim. This particular quad series from Maybelline is hit or miss but I do recommend Irresistibly Ivy it is that amazing.

I like this quad quite a lot. All 4 colors have great pigmentation, and blend well. When used with my E.L.F. primer, they stay all day (even through hot Las Vegas summers!). There is a lot of fallout, which is why I subtracted a star. The fallout is not easily removed with makeup remover or a brush, and leaves an unflattering shimmer under my eyes. I will repurchase this.

i bought this because the trio in bronze glitz appears to be discontinued and i wanted something similar. The gold, bronze and champagne shades are very similar and i also got a gorgeous teal shade in the mix.

very pigmented, long lasting, like the shimmer. if your not into shimmer you could maybe add a matte to the mix but other than that...

if you loved bronze glitz you will love this!

Great pigment, the aqua/green was very bold.I just didn't really like the gold one. It was supposed to be gold, but it turned out copper.

This quad has excellent color pay off. The texture is smooth...so butter like and I like the green shade. It adds a lot of oomph. I didn't think I could initially pull it off with my cool skin tone but it worked. I just have to remember to always use the green shade. I find that it balances out the warmth of the other colors for me.

I have a little collection going of the Eyestudio quads. Irresistibly Ivy was one of my later additions, because the colors are sort of out of my comfort zone. I don't wear a whole lot of browns or golds, but these were actually quite fun and easy to wear. If you're having a problem with pigmentation being too light or wearing off after a few minutes, try applying a primer on your lids and under eyes before applying the shadows. I find that this keeps the pigment brighter and lasting longer. The shadow is so smooth it's dreamy. I love these!

I really like this eyeshadow. It has this nice shiny, almost metallic look to it. Even if you apply just one of the colors over the entire lid, it will give a nice elegant appearance. I use the lightest color on this palette as a highlighter. I would say pretty good quality for a drugstore brand. Nicely pigmented, i just put my finger on the teal color and picked up a lot of product. i would recommend using a primer first tho. Just because i have oily lids and i know it would crease by the end of the day if i don't use it.

Maybelline's Eystudio Irresistibly Ivy 90 is a lovely quad with a shimmery champagne beige, orange-copper with gold shimmer, gorgeous teal-green with gold sparkle, and a dark reddened bronze brown with gold shimmer.
This quad is absolutely amazing. The pigmentation is fabulous for a drugstore quad, and definitely on par with UD and Stila. They are soft, blendable, richly pigmented,and very smooth for drugstore shadows. The pale shimmery champagne beige is a gorgeous highlighter and all-over wash. the orange copper is gives the most intense payoff and is great paired with the darker (slightly reddened) bronzey-brown. My favourite color is the bright teal-green with gold sparkle. In my pictures, the colors are more true to life in the non-flash picture, but the flash picture shows the color of this teal-green the best. The shadows lasted all day ontop a prime (UDPP Eden)
The price is about $12, which is a nice way to try 4 colors at once, especially for such quality eyeshadows. The packaging feels a bit flimsy, and the 'arrow' design isn't as aesthetically pleasing. I have a bit of an issue with the fact that the beige champagne highlighter shade is the biggest, I'd prefer it if all shades were the same. Still, for $3 per shadow it can't be beat.
Overall, a fabulous drugstore buy. I really love that teal color as a pop of color along the lower lashline, and the rest of the quad works spectacularly together. And, of course, the price for this kind of quality can't be beat.

These new Maybelline Eyestudio quads are fantastic eye shadows. I've read around here that people are not too crazy about the regular mayb eye shadows but I have a feeling this formula is different.
Of the four colors that come in this quad, only the highlighter color is disappointing, and it is not the color but the fact that it is not pigmented enough. I put quite a bit on and it didn't really show up.
However, the other three colors for the base, crease, and liner are HIGHLY pigmented. I got no fallout and they did not move around on my eye or get muddy. The package suggests the placement of the colors, although I played around and switched the base & crease colors.
There is a coppery gold, an intense green, and a golden burgundy. The colors are extremely shimmery, and the consistency is quite velvety. I did a look using all four colors and I loved the way it turned out.
This is one Maybelline e/s product that does not disappoint. Highly recommended for a drugstore eye shadow.
