Eyestudio Diamond Glow Quad Review

Hi everyone :)

today I wanted to do a really quick review on something that I've been really enjoying recently. I've had the Maybelline quad in coral drama in my collection for some time now however since spring has just started were I live, I've recently started using it again.

The quad contains a shimmery vanilla highlight, a sort of golden peach lid colour, a gorgeous coral shadow and a golden chocolate brown shade.

I'm pleased to say that all the eyeshadows are fairly pigmented- the coral and brown shadow more so that the other two.

They also have a lovely soft texture and are very easy to blend to create a beautiful everyday look. 

My only criticism is with the two lighter shades. The highlight is way to shimmery for my liking. I personally prefer matte highlights so of course I wasn't going to like this one; but I guess this is all down to personal preference. I also found that the lid colour doesn't go on evenly which is really frustrating because It's so pretty (maybe I have a defective pallet?)

Although I've had problems with the highlight and lid shadows, I'm glad I brought this quad. The coral and brown eyeshadows are super pretty and I love the overall look this quad creates. A definite staple in my spring makeup must haves.

I wouldn't describe this colour as electric pick at all, more like a bright coral- perfect for spring/summer :)

Glee Eyeshadow pallet swatches :)


Late last year I purchased the Glee eyeshadow pallet; at £1.50 they aren't bad eyeshadows (however they aren't amazing. As you can see from the swatches below they are fairly pigmented especially the bottom row, however the tan shade (top row, second from the left) doesn't seem to go on evenly on my eyelids and they all seem to be quiet powdery but this can be resolved by applying them wet. Other than that these are pretty good shadows and I'm looking forward to using this pallet in my upcoming looks :)
