Ellana Mineral Mesmer-Eyes Eyeshadow Quad

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...

What I like about the product: 

It's 100% mineral... so it’s non-comedogenic, fragrance and paraben free
Great choice of shades to achieve a neutral eye for everyday makeup
Easy to blend texture
Very pigmented and has a silky finish 
Staying power is 8 hours without primer and without touch ups but I stay in an airconditioned area the whole day :D
Price is affordable 
Lightweight packaging 
Comes with a mirror and a secure magnetic closure  
Available locally and delivery is within 2 days depending on location with shipping fee
Free samples if you purchase more than P1,500, like what I've experience
15% discount off your first purchase if you purchase thru an affiliate link like what I did 

What I don’t like about the product: 

Packaging shows accumulated dirt 
Slightly powdery 

Will I repurchase? 

Big yes... I wanna try the other quads!
