Revlon ColorStay 12 Hour Eye Shadow

I have this quad in Sultry Smoke. I swapped it with a lady on Make Up Alley. I was quite excited about receiving it because I do love a smokey eye (as most people do!) The quad is tiny. I thought it would be quite large and was quite disappointed at the size of it. I use it a lot anyway, regardless of the size. Sultry Smoke is all the colours you'd need to create a dramatic smokey eye. There's a black, a dark grey, a dark blue and a very light purple. The formula is very good.

I love this eye shadow. No, it doesn't last for 12 hours, but even if it did, I'd have to refresh it just because I'd have to refresh the rest of my makeup before 12 hours.
