Been using this almost daily for a few weeks now! That's how much I love this palette.

This palette of colours can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion you're using it for. Just use the darker, richer colours for more formal occasions and the lighter colours for informal stuff. I love that it comes with black as well because I use it to line my lids after the eyeshadow and it works just as well as eyeliner, with no smudging onto the lower lids!

For people who complain that the Revlon eyeshadows are unpigmented, here's a trick for you: wet your eyeshadow brush with water before applying eyeshadow. not so much that its soaking wet but just a little to make it damp. this really makes your eyeshadow colour pop and last much longer. Its best if you use an eye primer as well if you want the colours to stay well throughout the day.

Application-wise, I usually use an eyeshadow brush but I had to use the little sponges once when I was out and it went on fine as well. Not as precise as with the brush, but I managed to get the effect I wanted.

This was a little expensive in SG (but then almost everything is expensive here) but well worth the money.

Another great buy from Revlon!

For the $7 price tag of this palette at a drug store, I would purchase this again. It contains a nice family of warm/rusty/shimmery colors ranging from light to dark. These shadows worked wonderfully with my skin tone. There is quite a bit of glitter fallout, but the pigmentation isn't bad. It comes in a sleek, black case and a 2-sided sponge applicator. For beauty on a budget, this isn't a bad investment.

This was overall a very very successful product of mine! it was very cheap but in a very good quality and packaging so i was overall very impressed! the shadows are very pigmented like the NAKED PALETTE, so i totally fell in love with it. the only downside is the brush! the tip should be quite stiff, but its very soft so it is kind of hard to apply!

I am a blue eyed NW10 (NW20 when tanning from a bottle).

This quint is just one of many drugstore shimmery brown palettes I have purchased (Maybelline's Chai Latte and Copper Chic are very similar). Revlons quint has 5 shadows, but to be honest, the two darker brown shades look incredibly similar.

I like the amount of shimmer, and how soft the shadows are, but they are not pigmented. These shadows have the same problems as Maybelline's Copper Chic quad, meaning, like some other reviewers have noted, too much shadow comes off on the brush, so it's hard to use these without smearing them all over your eye. But the compensation factor is that once you begin to blend, the pigmentation disappears : ( Especially the charcoal shade in this palette.

Not worth it, in my opinion, especially if you have another drugstore shimmer brown quad.

These are a great palette of muted bronzey metallics which work well individually (the darker shades) over smudged black pencil or used exactly as shown as per diagram on the back of package a great neutral wearable smokey day eye incorporating the black-brown liner and pearly off-white brow tones. A complete eye look in one package just add your black liner and mascara.There are dupes of Revlons Sienna perle shadow and Mac Bronze/Patina in this kit. I have hazel/olive eyes and these shades just work so well against my coloring.They apply very smoothly buttery soft and just metallic enough without being overly glittery or frosty.

So I must admit, I only picked this up because Rite Aid had 40% off Revlon products. But I'm really glad I did. At first swipe, the shadows look very powdery and unpigmented; however, I've used this straight for about a week now and I'm very impressed with the quality and staying power.

The shimmery cream/beige shade in the middle is the only color that is not as pigmented as the rest of them. It makes an OK highlight shade, but I wouldn't recommend using it all over the lid b/c I had to pack it on about 4 times before it looked like I was wearing anything.

The two tarnished brown colors look too similar to eachother. They also remind me a bit of MAC's patina but with better pigmentation.

My favorite shade is the coppery/burnt sienna color. I love wearing this all over the lid and slightly into the crease, blended out for a simple smokey eye look. And especially layered over Maybelline's Pomegranate Punk color tattoo!

The black is nicely pigmented, but not the blackest black out there. Still dark enough to use as a liner though.

Great everyday palette for simple smokey looks!

honestly, i wasn't too impressed by this product. although it does have some pretty colors (i love the reddish-brown), the colors are so unpigmented that it makes them almost impossible to work with. i was really excited about trying the liner color, but i can barely get the color to show up on the brush, never mind on the eyelid. overall, i was not impressed and won't be buying this again.

Great drugstore palette. I mainly like it so much because of the colors. It has 5 shadows: A brownish black, bronze, champagne, copper, and a golden brown. They all have a bit of shimmer in them, but it's nothing sparkly. It just gives a nice sheen. They're very soft and last long on me. For its price, the pigmentation is decent too. It also has a faint sweet smell to it.

Good points:

The price; it is a lot less expenscive than what a lot of brands would charge for a product like this.
The colours are flattering, and there are five so you can use this for the day or night.
The packaging is sleek, compact and so efficient. This packaging is perfect for travelling.

Bad points:

The colours really aren't that pigmented.
The texture is so dry and chalky to feel. I strongly dislike applying this to my eyelids because it is almost irritating. It is not at all silky, like urban decay shadows are. I think this is its biggest flaw.

This is great. The white is totally unpigmented but the other colours are good, the blend well too.

I follow Zoe foster's youtube video on this (search zoe foster smokey eyes)- it looks pretty- soft but nice n smokey- oh i like to use the vanilla all over, the taupey brown on lid, the copper brown on outer v, burgundy layered on top, darkest wet to line. And definitely black kohl on waterline- it completes the look. Super useful. Also another tutoriAl that i can use this with, and it looks good, is maggiealex8380's smokey day look.

Beautiful palette with elegant and versatile brown, nude and copper shades that flatter every skin tone and eye color. I love how there's a shade for each section (outer corner, lid, inner corner, brow bone, line) and it's all perfectly coordinated. Just one warning: be sure you never drop these palettes or the shadow will break! I unfortunately had to replace mine because I dropped it. So be careful :)

This is such a wonderful palette. It has all the staple colors necessary for a warm toned person for that natural look. The texture is so soft and velvety. I just also love the pattern that the shadows have. The colors include-

-A dark brown with a beautiful and noticeable shimmery red/gold. The glitter looks microfine and won't fall out. This is the darkest color in the palette and is the eye liner.
-A dark copper colored brown.
-A pealized white color.
-A dark shimmery brown with heavy red undertones.
-A light shimmery brown with a silvery microfine glitter.

I am so impressed with this. All the colors are well pigmented and go on super smoothly. I like how it is densely packed and the powder doesn't go flying all over the place. I usually read reviews first before I pick anything up, but just picked this up on a whim since there was a $2 coupon and it was bogo (i luv sales). But anyway, I am so glad I picked this up. I will be using this often, check it out.

I so wanted to love this. The colors in this palette are fantastic, they go on smooth and nicely pigmented, the case is good quality for a drugstore product, the shadows have a nice pattern on them similar to designer shadows, and the price is fantastic. I love how you can mix and match all of the various shades plus one is dark enough to use as an eyeliner. I have tried them for 2 days now over Too Faced Shadow Insurance and both days the color had seriously faded by the time I got home from work at 5pm. I never have that problem with MAC or even other Revlon shadows. My next move is to try a different shadow primer because this palette has the potential to be perfect if only I can get the color to stay on my lids for a reasonable amount of time.

I had seen these on the Revlon.com website and was very curious, so I went seeking them and I found them in a grocery store, of all places. I just tried these this morning, and love, love, love, them! I used Ulta's eyeshadow base before applying them, and they are soft, but very pigmented, which is okay. Definitely a keeper. I am jonesing to try the other ones. A great buy!

Great eyeshadow!! I was browsing at Target and saw this and, wow! I am super glad I picked it up. It is cheap (about $7.50) and has five luxurious colors. I am very pale, with dark hair and blue eyes. I was unsure f the burgundy color would look okay (or turn my skin red), but it really does look fantastic and lasts all day wonderfully. I will without a doubt pick up more of these little gems.

I love this palette. I agree with everything cefrei said. The darkest shade can be used as liner and to darken the crease. What I do is draw a V on the outer corner of the eye with this shade, and then brush one of the lighter shade (whichever) on top. The reddish-brown is excellent because it's not too red. This comes with the regular sponge applicator. I don't usually use these applicators, but the fine end of this one does a good smudging job. Very pleased with this prod.

I started seeing the new Revlon quints called CustomEyes Shadow & Liner in my local CVS and Rite-Aid. Now, I normally do not purchase drugstore e/s...I just have had really bad experiences with all of them. So instead of wasting money, I only use department store e/s (mainly UD, BB and Burberry).

However, I had a coupon and something about these quads just caught my eye. I love the texture of the shadows...each one has a different sweater-like texture. Plus Revlon has been impressing me lately with its Colorstay foundation and the new Colorburst l/s and l/g. So I figured to give it a shot.

Boy, am I happy I did! The shadows are pigmented, soft and smooth. In fact, they're a bit too soft IMO...if you apply your brush to the shadows too hard, you end up picking up way too much shadow. Just one tap on each shade picked up plenty. All the shades have a bit of shimmer to them, but nothing over-the-top. It just gives them a nice glow when applied.

The colors include (sorry, (I'm not the best at descriptions!):
*Deep, dark chocolatey brown
*Medium brown
*Off-white with gold shimmer, makes it look more like a light antique gold.
*Reddish brown, but not so red it's unwearable IMO
*Light-medium brown

All in all, I'm very impressed with these new quints so far and will be picking more up!
