Revlon Colorstay 16-Hour Eyeshadow in Addictive: Review & Swatches!

There must be something special in the air this season, because drugstore brands seem to be nailing their spring collections. A few days ago I spotted another new display from Revlon for new Colorstay eyeshadow quads. This is the product featuring Olivia Wilde in the all of the ads, and the colors were so pretty I couldn't resist picking up some of the quads. After all, Revlon and I have such a great track record together that I'm willing to try pretty much anything from them!


The featured quad in this post is Addictive, a neutral brown, mostly matte quad. It features satin highlight and lid shades, a semi-frosty golden taupe, and a matte warm brown. The color selection of this quad is perfect for the business professional, student, or anyone who likes sticking to neutral shades with minimal sheen.


As expected, these colors swatch beautifully. They have high pigmentation and last all day (I've been layering them over the new Maybelline Color Tattoo eyeshadow in Tough as Taupe for a cool matte brown look).


The back of the quad features a diagram with suggestions for where to place the different colors. I like that the actual size of the quad is small/slim enough that you could easily keep this in a travel makeup bag as the perfect on-the-go color selection!

Overall, I'm absolutely thrilled with this purchase. The colors wear extremely well and the price was certainly right: I found these for $7.50 at Rite Aid, but at BOGO 50% off, I saved a bunch buying several at a time! Next time I cross one of these displays, I may even pick up a few more quads, as I am so pleased with them. Expect more posts on more quads from this release!

Have you tried these?
