Hello from rainy Cebu!
This Quad was part of my first haul post here. If I am to choose three makeup products that I can't live without, it would be Lip balm, Blush and Eyeshadow!!! I am so in love with blushes and eyeshadows... I'm not really that skilled on applying them but I see to it that it's presentable enough to look at..

I will be sharing my most favorite eyeshadow palette which I have been using daily for 3 months now. Mostly, I only get to use maximum of 3 colors in an eyeshadow palette but not with this palette because I used all of the 4 shades in this one. Awesome right??? It is also from my most favorite organic makeup brand, which offers a variety of great products..
I ordered it thru Ellana Mineral online last August 14 and received 2 days after, August 18, 2014..
The Quad is priced at P400.00 + 120.00 shipping fee = P520.00 less Affiliate Discount of P60.00 = P460.00 total price I paid.
What
It Is: (from Ellana website)
Open up your eyes with our Mesmer-Eyes Quad Shadow Palette! Light, frosty eyeshadows smoothed over your entire lid and inner eye corners instantly give a brightening effect to your eyes that makes you look refreshed and well-rested. Contour the eye crease with some copper shadow, and draw a bronze line to create dramatic definition that mimics soft, thick lashes.

As I've checked their website for info, I found out that the quad has 4 shades namely: Brilliance, Inspiration, Charisma and Sensational so the one in the packaging is incorrect. The packaging states that the quad has Charisma, Brilliance, Wish and Sensation. Based on the website, Wish is a different shade in a satin copper shade. Perhaps, Ellana will correct the one in the packaging not to cause confusion.
The neutral shades with its description: my favorite is Charisma!!!
INSPIRATION
- soft beige frost
BRILLIANCE
- soft bronze frost
CHARISMA -
soft copper frost
SENSATIONAL -
iridescent gold
Swatches without primer...
