A drugstore dupe for the Smashbox VIP eye quad
Great to see you again! Please consider subscribing to the RSS feed, as well as following Retrodiva on Twitter for even more fun stuff. Thanks for visiting!
I was playing around with my makeup stash today, trying to get somewhat organized (which is pretty much an impossible task – I simply have too much stuff), and I realized that I had never even used my Smashbox VIP quad that came with my Nordstrom exclusive set from the holidays. Needless to say, it’s beautiful and I don’t know why I haven’t used it before now.
Included is a carbon black, metallic silver, metallic gold, and a matte ivory, which is perfect as a highlighter. The black, when applied with a wet eyeliner brush doubles as an excellent eyeliner.
But that’s not my big discovery. I went ahead and swatched the quad, as you can see here:

And while I was swatching it, my eyes fell on another quad I had in my basket. Find out which one it was after the jump!
Here is the mystery quad swatched:
Cover Girl Exact Eyelights for Brown Eyes Quad
Yup, it is the CoverGirl Exact Eyelights Eye Brightening Shadow, Vibrant Browns
It’s almost exact, don’t you think?
