Maybelline Eye Studio Fall 2013 - Violet Femmes, Fall Temptation, and Desert Fantasy - Swatches and Pictures

Maybelline has some new Eye Studio quads out for Fall 2013. I purchased three of them and I have to say, these were a lot better than the Wet N Wild Trios I reviewed last week. For the most part, these three quads have great pigmentation. They swatch wonderfully and have a silky feel to them.

First Up, Desert Fantasy

This is probably my favorite of the three. And, it's funny because I didn't purchase the other two first and went back for this one. The first shade is a light peachy gold. Followed by a true yellow gold color. The third shade is an awesome olive. And the last shade is black. It's not a true black though and applies almost as a matte shade. The first three shades are metallic, but they are not glittery. 

Next up, Fall Temptation

Probably my second favorite. Starts off on the left with a really nice metallic sand shade. Then there is that peachy gold shade. It swatches similar to the first shade in the Desert Fantasy quad. Followed by a metallic reddish brown and ending with a matte dark brown. These shadows all swatched smoothly and had great pigmentation.

Last up, Violet Femmes

This one is just gorgeous in the pan. I wasn't as in love with it after I swatched it though. It starts off with an icy almost white pink metallic shade. Followed by a light violet brown metallic. Then when you get to the last 2 shades, they didn't swatch as smoothly. They had great pigmentation, but I sense there could be some fallout with these two if you aren't careful. Even though the third shade looks violet in the pan, it applies as more of a cranberry color. The last shade is a metallic dark purple. This quad does not have a matte dark shade like the other two. 

All in all, I'm really happy with these quads. I would recommend these over the Wet N Wild Trios that are out. These were much easier to work with although slightly more expensive. If metallic shadows are not your thing though, then you'll want to pass on these quads. I'm planning on putting these in my upcoming makeup basket for the week and giving them a good test drive. Stay tuned for reviews at the end of the upcoming week.
