In the spirit of the season I have been on the lookout for some good go-to drugstore palettes. It's no big surprise the main players that line our CVS, Walgreen and Target shelves have really stepped up their games with regards to pigmentation, longevity, and overall formula. Drugstore products aren't what they used to be so when you find a really really great one you want to shout it from the rooftops. Well guess what? I have found one and I'm shouting!!
The Revlon Colorstay palette in 515 Adventurous is be-a-u-ti-ful!! I can't even begin to tell you how much I love love love this little drugstore gem. This is my first Revlon Colorstay palette and I can see myself going back for more of these.
First let me say that this palette will look amazing on any skin tone. It is a quad palette that comes with a frosty golden off white, a golden olive, a shimmering bronze with slight gold shimmer suspended throughout, and a matte medium brown. I have to say I was really excited to see three shimmers paired with such a beautiful matte brown. This gives the palette such versatility as far as creating different looks.
Another point that really impresses me is the packaging. It is really great considering it is from the drugstore. I am BIG on packaging (as I have mentioned in previous posts). It add something extra to the product and there is nothing worse then super flimsy drugstore packaging. It causes all kinds of problems. Ahem....product destruction inside purse or favorite makeup bag. Grrrrr
I swatched the colors with the Urban Decay eyeshadow primer potion underneath, because you would more then likely want to use an eye primer with most eyeshadows, especially those from the drugstore. You can see from the photo above exactly how pigmented these shadows are and what great colors for the Fall/Winter season. I am already planning a tutorial for my beauty channel using this palette so stay tuned!
I really do recommend this one- it is a great neutral palette with rich colors that will create gorgeous looks for this season. [Shop the Revlon Colorstay Adventurous palette below.]
Have you tried this palette? If not, would this be a palette you would use over Fall/Winter?
We have not seen this one but it does look gorgeous! Such beautiful, rich shades! Will deff be on the look out for this one! :)

I love it so much-I think it's definitely worth going back for!
DeleteThis is a great color combo! I love that green/olive shade. I haven't tried this newer version of the Color Stay shadow, but I have a couple from the old packaging (4 in a row) and I love the quality of those.
