Essence Cosmetics: Quattro Eyeshadow Palette

I bought these palettes from Watson's Store. I feel like the new formula eyeshadows are buttery soft while old formula is not as soft to touch. However, I have to say that I prefer the old formula~ It is because of the old formula has two different textures. Refer to the 'To Die For' palette, there are 3 satin textured eyeshadows and 1 matte colour! Which is great~ On the other hand, the newest formula only has one texture which is shimmers. The shimmers are not the regular shadows you can see in the store.. It is quite similar to the ELF Cosmetics's Prism Eyeshadow (not as pigmented and shimmery as ELF though).

I had hard time to use this palette. The shadows are overall smokeys~ I mean, it works best for smokey eyes in my opinion. However, it is not common for me to rock smokey eyes..

This is just nice for everyday natural eye makeup. Although the swatches are not as good as the newest formula, but it surprisingly super blendable on the eyelids~ Really impressive.. No wonder so many people like it. But just bare in mind, they are not highly pigmented. I would say.. light to moderate pigmentation only.

In conclusion, still worth buying..
