I was having a beauty drawer clean out back at the beginning of March and I came across this Rimmel Quad, completely untouched. I put it in a "to use" pile, and said if I didn't use it over the next four weeks I'd give it to a more deserving home.
I pulled it out a week later and gave it a whirl, and I was actually really pleasantly surprised. The shadows themselves are seriously soft and really pigmented, much better than most drugstore shadows I've tried. I've only tried these with a primer underneath since I always apply one anyway, but they last really well! There's a champagne shade that makes an amazing inner corner or browbone highlight, or all over the lid. There's a warm light taupey shade that is my favourite all over the lid, and a dark brown that is great in the crease or as a liner. The only shade I haven't really used is the warm bronzey copper shade, but that's because it's a colour I tend to favour in the summer.
I feel like these four shades can give a real variety of looks, and that they'd suit a lot of skin tones. I've actually been wearing this quad a lot, I think it would be great for travel since it's compact but you can create a lot of looks, and the quality is really impressive considering the price tag!
Have you tried any Rimmel Eyeshadows? What are your favourite drugstore eyeshadows?
This quad was one my first eyeshadows many moons ago! Looking back, it is actually a great little palette and so versatile especially if you are just starting out with shadows. Chantalle xceceandgrace.blogspot.com.au
