I'm not sure if I've mentioned this on here, ever but one of the jobs that I'd love to have is being the person who gets to name these make up lines and products. And when I saw this on the catalogue, I just could not believe that it was called Blushing Raisin. It's a beautiful eyeshadow quad and there is not one color on their that I wouldn't wear; this quad is like a beautiful girl named Petrifica--it just doesn't fit. :)) But ah, well. What's in a name?
The four colors that come in this quad are Brulee (top left), Rose Nude (top right), Raisin (bottom right--why, Avon, why?) and Plum (bottom left). All these colors are awesome and are super soft; I swear the texture of these is super creamy. The only thing that sucks about these is that the color pay-off isn't too good. You have to really get in there and build these up if you're using them alone. However, I've found that these go on really nicely on top of the Avon Simply Pretty Marbelized Shadow Sticks which are similar to the NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencils. :)
This quad cost me P 249, also from their February catalog and it's worth it, for the most part. But if you're looking for absolute bang for your buck, then maybe this isn't the quad to get? For an additional hundred, you could get the big palette from Fashion21 or for a couple hundred more you could get one of the big ELF palettes so...yeah. This is great for stashing in your purse though and again, I love that mirror. So I'd give this a total rating of 3.5/5 because despite some of the drawbacks the colors are just too gorgeous to be pissed off about. :D
Great post. will try it :)
