I love how compact these new eye quads are! I was immediately attracted to the new packaging and bold colors of the newly launched L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Eye Shadow Quads ($7.95 each) in my local drugstore.

To know that TWENTY new trend-driven, wearable hues were specially developed to create not just one eye look, but endless opportunities to show off your personal creativity was mind-blowing to me. I was simply excited at my various options!

I was sent Smoky Eyes in So Over It and Brazen Bolds in both Neo Skirt (shown above) and Hollywood Icon, and realized there were both pearl and matte finishes; the twenty new quads were split into categories being New Essentials, Brazen Bolds and Smoky Intensity. There are five smoky palettes designed to create a smoky eye look!

I always love goof-proof instructions, which are found on the back of every quad suggesting where you can place your color, brightener, contour color and definer. Each quad is set in a 4-sweep pattern, making it very easily understood. There is always room to do your own thing — mix and match, or simply use it as instructed/suggested. Available now at mass, food and drug retailer nationwide.
