Quo Matte N Metal Eyeshadow Palette

hello everyone, today i will be reviewing the quo matte n metal eye shadow palette.

this product is exclusively sold at shoppers drug mart in canada. i'm sure it must be somewhere else online but for those of us that live in canada, you can get it at your local shoppers drug mart. in this you get 12 eye shadows, 6 of those are matte and 6 are metallic. it costs $25 CND and you get 1.2 grams of product per eye shadow. i also want to point out that this was made in taiwan.

here is the first row of swatches. they were done with a finger and no base used what so ever.

here is the second row

and here is the last row.

as you can see the three light shades are extremely light on my skin, you can barely see them! anyway formula wise these are kind of chalky and from the mattes you do get a little kick back in the pan. now i got this as a christmas present but i personally wouldn't have bought it myself. the color story is just meh, it's been done before by everyone else. the mattes you need to build them up on the eyes, which for some people isn't a problem. a couple of the metallics aren't that pigmented, mainly the lighter ones so they take a bit of work. these do blend but with the lighter shades they can blend into nothingness so you need to be careful about that. i feel like many of the shades also look very similar once on the eye. all in all i'd maybe skip out on this palette. there are so many other natural eye shadow palettes out there that are way better.
