Review : Palladio Herbal Eyeshadow Quad in Copper 'N' Chic

Hey dears!

I love wearing makeup with colors that are in nude and peach shades. Those colors are my go-to ones for my everyday makeup when I go to the office. 

So even though I have enough eyeshadows to last me for a long while, I just couldn't resist getting this quad when I saw that it was on sale at Beauty Bar a few months back...

Palladio Herbal Eyeshadow Quad in Copper 'N' Chic

I was able to get it for only PhP 166.25 from its original price of PhP 475.00.

I just find this palette really beautiful, especially the peach one at the upper right corner. The shades are very wearable and it's a palette that I can bring with me when I travel because the shades can be used to create many looks and it also suits many of my lipsticks.

Let's get to know the product from the product description from the website:

Enhance your eyes with 4 highly-pigmented Eyeshadow Quads.  Compacts come in matte and shimmery shades that can be used year-round.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Extract, Beeswax, Synthetic Beeswax, Cyclopentasiloxane, Polyethylene, Synthetic Wax, Polybutene, Sucrose Tetrastearate Triacetate, Stearyl Dimethicone, Pentaerythrityl Tetrabehenate, Boron Nitride, Isodecyl Neopentanoate, Tocopherol ,Stearalkkonium Bentonite, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Propylene Carbonate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, DI-PPG-3 Myristyl Ether Adipate, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer. May contain:   Preservatives, Antioxidants, Sunscreens, Fillers (eg Talc, Silica, Alumina, Kaolin, Clay), Dyes (Inorganic and Organic Pigments, Lacquers).

This is available in six shades.

It comes with a small applicator. One end has a pointier end. I can use it to create strong lines using the darkest shade! It doubles as an eyeliner.

The packaging is very simple. It's a compact makeup and the top is made of clear plastic so you can easily see the shades of the quad. It's non-bulky so it's easy to carry around.

Here's a closeup of the product. I like that the peach is almost matte because it's my favorite and I like my eyeshadows matte most of the time.

The shimmery shadows at the bottom gives a dramatic finish to my eye makeup.

The lightest shade is perfect for highlighting the eyes as well as other areas of the face that you want to highlight!

Here are the swatches.

I'm very surprised at how pigmented each shade is, especially the lightest shade! They are very smooth but it can also be chalky.

Anyway, check out below how I usually wear the shades:

It's a simple everyday look. I just add the darker shades when I want a more dramatic look at night.

It's a pretty good compact, especially since I got it in a very affordable price! It already is very pigmented but I still need to add a good eyeshadow base so that it wouldn't crease on my oily lids.

To summarize:

What I LIKE:
- Pigmented
- Very affordable
- Doesn't test on animals
- A combination of matte and shimmery shades
- Very wearable colors
- Simple and easy to carry packaging
- Locally available
- Smooth texture

What I DON'T LIKE:
- I don't think there is. Perhaps they can improve the applicator? I rarely use it. I would also appreciate if it doesn't crease on my oily lids... but almost all eyeshadows do, so I just get a good base!

And that's all for this post! Any thoughts on the Palladio Herbal Eyeshadow Quad in Copper 'N' Chic? 


Cheers,
