The Revlon Colorstay quad is pretty pricey,
but luckily my local Rite Aid was having a sale with 40% off of the Revlon
products, so I ended up getting this quad for only about... $4.674→$4.67.
Now the swatches:
(I had a lot of trouble with taking the picture
because the colors weren't really coming out, but this is probably the truest
one to the colors that I actually took, except the pink, beige and black are
sparkly)
Pros
1. The colors are neutral
2. The matte off-white and the dark glittery
brown/black are somewhat pigmented
3. If you don't want the most vibrant color,
then the shimmery salmon color and shimmery pink/beige aren't really pigmented
4. I only got this for around $4.67
5. Packaging isn't too bad/ Compact
6. There are many unique shades of the quads
(Addictive, Luscious, Precocious, Adventurous, Brazen, Siren, Seductive,
Goddess, Inspired, Attitude, Enchanted, Moonlit, Serene, Bombshell, Decadent,
and Delightful)
Cons
1. Pricey if you didn't get it on sale
2. If you wanted very pigmented shadows, the
majority of these shadows are not pigmented
3. You really have to build up on the shadow
if you want it to appear exactly the way it is in the packaging
4. The shimmery salmon and shimmery
pink/beige are pretty chalky
Overall
This product isn't absolutely terrible but I
don't feel like it's worth the whole $8 and so I wouldn't get it again because
it's price and the shadows aren't really pigmented, unless if the one I got was
a mess up and maybe the other quads are better and I'm just having bad luck
with them. But I do like the ideas of the unique shades that each quad comes
with so maybe I will one day try them out again later and I might fall in love
with them and have better luck.
Revlon Photoready Cream Blush is very pricey and it
runs around $15 at drugstores. I luckily had 2 "$5.00 off"coupons for
my local CVS, so I ended up getting this product for only $4.79.
Now the swatches:
(Sadly, my camera didn't give the product justice
because I had trouble sticking out my arm while taking a photo)
Pro
1. It can be used on the cheeks or lips
2. The color comes out almost just like the way
it's packaged, so it's pigmented
3. The packaging is really nice; I've heard it's
like MAC's tendertone's packaging
4. For me at least, the label is somewhat centered
because some of the labels aren't and when it's not centered it can kind of
bother me
5. If you don't mind a little scent, then this is
fine because it has a tiny scent
6. It has a creamy and silky texture
7. There are 3 different unique shades in total
(Pinched, Flushed, and Coral Reef)
8. I got this product for only around $5
Cons
1. Pricey if you don't have a coupon there's no
sale for the item
2. If you don't like any scents, it may bother you
because it has a tiny scent
3. If non-centered labels bother you, it might be a
problem since some come not centered
4. Only has 3 shades, it's be nice if they had more
Overall
I am loving this cream blush because the color is
true to what it looks like in its packaging and can complement different skin
tones as well as give a flush of color (as if grandma had PINCHED your cheeks,
get it? 'Cause that's what the color is called). Anyways, I also enjoy how you
can use this product on your cheeks or lips if you want to give a bit of a
peachy tint and simply using your fingers or brush to apply this silky/creamy
product. Sadly, this product is very pricey and so I would wait until I get
another coupon.
Let me know what you think about these products and
maybe you had a better chance with the quads than I did.

p.s. After writing this post, I ended up trying the
quad on my eyes and it actually doesn't look half bad.
