| Rimmel Glam'Eye Quad Eyeshadow in Precious Crown |
Rimmel's Glam'Eyes Quad Eye Shadow in Precious Crown looks like it could be a distant cousin to
Urban Decay's Smoked Eyeshadow Palette. With four deep, blackened blackened jewel tones, it has the makings of the ultimate drugstore smoky palette. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be.
Starting at the top and going counterclockwise, the palette comes with a matte black with silver glitter, a blackened navy, blackened forest green, and blackened plum. Of the four shades, the green performed the best, but none were stellar. All were a little chalky and hard to build up to get the pigmentation seen below. When put to use, the shadows take a lot to pack on so most of the color is lost. Ultimately you are left with four grey-ish shades that hint at the color of the pressed powder they originated from.
Unfortunately, this wasn't the first quad to let me down. I had a similar disappointing experience with the
Green Sapphire. Truthfully, I shouldn't have expected more from quads that were priced 50% off in the semi-annual CVS beauty sale, but a girl can hope! If you are tempted by this, I would steer clear - even at $5 a quad.

I, too, have been disapponted by the oh-so-tempting Rimmel eye shadows. (post here: http://wp.me/p1Z8Rq-B6) However, I love their lip glosses and my daughter loves their mascaras. Finding a good (affordable) eye shadow seems to be rather difficult...
