Gosh Quattro Eye Shadow Review

Gosh is the first make up brand that I have bought a mascara from. They are a brand that does not use parfume in there products, even though they are a drugstore brand they are in the high end of the price range. 

Gosh is a brand that has a good quality and I think they have a lot of good products, the things that I have had from Gosh or still have from Gosh is products that I love using and things that I do reach for. 


Today I would like to talk about their Quattro Eye Shadow. As you properly can guess from the name then it has four eye shadow in each of them.  I have two that I want to talk about and I'll start with the one that I bought first, which was at the time where smokey eyes just had arrived and was the brand new thing to do with make up. 



This one is called Q 24 Platinum which is a very suited named for all of these colors. If we look at these for colors then it is a very good combination of colors put together. We have this white color with some shimmer in which will be perfect as a highlight just under the brow bone, but you could also use it as a highlight on your face if that's what you wanted. 



The color next to the white is a kind of brown grayish taupe color  which is the color that I have used the more from this palette because it is so beautiful and it kind of reminds me of "40 Permanent Taupe" from the Maybelline's color tattoo collection, which I also just love. 

Under the taupe color is a silver eye shadow which has a very nice finish, it's not metallic, but its more soft yet you can still see the silver. I have used this color a lot like highlight in the inner corner of my eyes, or made it very sheer and placed on the middle of my eyelid to make it pop more. 

The next color is the dark gray color that is next to the silver. I like that they didn't put a black into this little palette, because that can be too harsh sometimes, and this dark gray is really beautiful and it goes really well with the silver color, just those two colors by themselves looks so gorgeous. 

All in all this is a really good palette to have because it is so easy to create different looks with this one, like take the white shadow all over your eye lid and use the dark gray as an eyeliner and you have a beautiful look for a night out.  What I also like about this palette is that you can make a soft look, but you can also build the grey color so it looks like a black color.




The other palette is a more natural everyday use type of palette this palette is called Q 22 Driftwood, in some way I kinda of like that name for this little palette. 22 Driftwood was the second palette that I bought from Gosh and it is the palette that I have had the most use out of. My pallet is totally warned out and one of the colors is totally gone, because I have used it so much and I have loved it all the way and I still love this palette because it is so easy to take with and you can use it in a lot of different ways.


If you don't like buying a lot of make up or you don't use a lot of make up, but you would still like to have something around to use once in a while then this one is perfect.





I would like to start with saying that this picture is not a creation of mine, I tried to take a picture of mine, but it's such a mess and color number 3 on my is completely empty so I found another picture to show you the colors in this palette. I also think this pictures shows the colors of this palette very good.


Color number 1 is a shimmery, creamy white color. It is not as white as the one in the Platinum palette this white is more warm toned and fits with the other 3 brown colors and I really love this creamy white color. It is a really beautiful highlighter and I think they hit spot on with this color for this palette.


Color number 2 is this medium brown color. This brown is more warmed toned than the darker brown is in this palette.


I have often used color number 2 as a crease color or alone on my lid, it's a really beautiful brown color that isn't too dark and it isn't too light if you want a natural look, with a twist of party in it.


The next color is color number 3 and that is a really nice matt brown, it looks like it has a bit of shimmer, but it doesn't come of as shimmery when you place it on the lid. This color is amazing when you need a natural everyday look, but it can also be used to help create that natural smokey eye. I don't have any more left of this color in my palette because I have used it so much because it's such a useable color.


Color number 4 is a cold toned dark brown which is a perfect color in the crease and if you like a dark look then number 2 and 4 is good together, because one is warm and the other one is cold, so it does make a difference in the colors and it gives a beautiful look.


I have enjoyed both of these palettes and I know that Gosh has making these small palettes even better with a new formula and a new packing, which is even smaller than then one I have now. If I had to choose between these two palettes then I would differently choose Driftwood because thats the palette I have had most use out of and because you can both make a dramatic look,  but you can also make a beautiful natural look, which is very import to that you can use it for more than one purpose. 


I would repurchase Driftwood, because it has some really good colors, but on the other hand if you have the Naked eye palette 1 or 2 then you don't need this one at all, but if you just need a little palette to use once in a while or everyday with good quality then this is a perfect thing to buy and if you buy both then you can make a lot of different looks. 


I hope you all have a good day :)
