The price was 5.99. As a gold card member at Rite Aid, I get 20% off regulars priced merchandise. I think it scanned as $4.80. I had a $1 off MFC so it brought the price down to $3.80.

he blue really stood out to me. I liked how it was labeled as use for the crease. I think it would look great as a pop of color there. I usually play around with my palettes and try each shade on my lid, eye crease, etc.

The lid is a matte lilac. It is pretty sheer when you first put it on. It takes a while to build up. It is a little patchy after building it up. This is my least favorite color in the palette.
Shadow 3 is the reason I bought the palette. It is a royal blue with purple undertones. It is definitely not as bright on as in the palettes. But it is a bold blue that I can't wait to play around with. It can get a little patchy but I'm ok with it since I will be doing a lot of blending.
The 4the color is a matte black. There really is nothing mind blowing about a matte black. This is a decent matte black. It actually goes on smoother than the blue and Lilac.
Below are swatches. The first 4 have no primer and the last 4 are over E.L.F eyelid primer. ($1). The first picture is without flash, the next one is with flash.
The quality is a still a little disappointing. The shadows are dry and not soft and buttery like their EyeStudio Eye shadows. I LOVE those shadows. Too bad they can't make their Expert Wear shadows similar to the EyeStudio palettes. My favorite colors are the bold blue and matte black. The blue is a unique blue to see in a EyeStudio Palette. It swatched pretty well so I'm excited to try it over the weekend.
After buying a 2nd Expert Wear shadow quad I still don't think I can recommend them. I like this palettes a lot better than the last one in terms of color. Some of the colors had better application than the previous quad I purchased. These just don't 'Wow' me or make me want to add it to my daily makeup routine train case. For $4 more I recommend getting the Maybelline EyeStudio shadows. They are a million times softer, smoother, richer and more pigmented.
