Rave Review: 4U2 Splash Velvet Eyeshadow in shade 4!

Rich Velvet Eyeshadows! This super fun looking palette was purchased in Bangkok, Thailand some time ago. It's by a brand that's under Bel Air Cosmetics USA but is made in Thailand. This line has great products, all which seemed pigmented, smooth and really good quality when I swatched them in store! I felt that the quality of this quad was so good I bought a different one to give to my blogger friend Pam when we did a swap in the past! 

Don't be doubtful of this quad just because of the sort of teenage looking designed packaging! The quality of the eyeshadows is seriously superb! If you love shimmery/metallic eyeshadows do check out this brand if you're in Thailand (at watsons/beautrium), it's also sold in the Philippines, or on this website for those in Singapore/Malaysia!

Packaging & Product!

At first look the packaging for these quads look quite young, teenage like and almost sort of like a young rebellious type of fashion. I personally am not a huge fan or would just normally be interested in products packed like the design on this quad but since I was on the hunt for brands that I couldn't get in Singapore I looked at everything in the shop and came across this!The packaging itself is very sturdy and and although the quad is fairly small in size you get a mirror that's the full size of the lid which is rare for small quads!

Let's just say that if you are a lover of metallic or shimmery shadows you will fall heave over heels for any of these quads! Surprisingly despite being so affordable these shadows are all so consistently smooth, buttery, pigmented and their metallic/super shimmery finish is just so damn stunning! 

These shadows were so stunning that I got one quad to give to a blogger friend of mine in a swap some time ago! I just couldn't just buy one. These quads came in mostly neutral tones and they all swatched amazingly well. This quad comes with four shades, a smooth metallic beige, a golden olive toned brown, a walnut dark brown and  a shimmery platinum grey tone! 

The only downsides to the shadows is that all the shades are so crazy metallic and shimmery that a look using all of the shadows sort of leaves you with a look that's overly shiny, so I'd use maybe one shade that's a satin or soft matte in the crease/under brow when I use this quad!

4U2 Splash Velvet Eyeshadow in shade 4!
Paid: About 150- 200 Thai Baht or about $6-8 SGD (I purchased this at Beautrium in Thailand)

(if you live in Singapore/Malaysia you can order this on Hishop.com for $13.35 SGD)

Repurchase: YES. If this brand was more readily available or if I wasn't trying to limit my spending (like right now) I totally would buy another quad, I absolutely love shadows like this!

Recommend: YES! If you get a chance to browse this brand or you want to order this, I say go for it! If you love super shimmery/metallic shades and a buttery and pigmented shadow these are great!

Bottom line: These shadows are seriously comparable to the shimmery shades from Urban Decay and Dior, they are insanely good and so affordable! The only downside REALLY is that the quads only come in all neutral type shades! Other than that, these are some seriously amazing shadows!

Do you love metallic/shimmery eyeshadows?
Have you came across this brand?
Let me know!

Thank you!
