Quo Limited-Edition Fall 2016 Collection

For the past year and a half, I have exclusively been using makeup from a particular direct sales company starting with a Y.  
*ahem*

After leaving that company, and needing a few products, I set out to Shoppers Drug Mart to find what I was looking for.  

I had no idea I could find a good quality mascara for under $10.00.  

Anywho,  Shoppers Drug Mart reached out to me and offered me a few products from the Quo fall line to try.  I had a Quo brush set years ago but never tried their cosmetics, so I was eager.  

Let me share a bit about each product, and then give you my honest opinion.

So that’s all the technical details of the products; now here’s my opinion.  

Love the lipstick.   Super funny that the rep for the company sent me the Brandy shade, seeing as that’s my name.  I love the shade, the smell, the texture, and it’s my new favourite lipstick.  The fact that it is matte is a huge bonus. 

Face palette is okay.   The highlighter is a tad on the pink side, but otherwise, the blush and bronzer make the palette worth buying.  It had the right amount of pigmentation without looking clownish.  

The eyebrow palette; did you see the picture??  I wasn’t able to keep my hands off of it long enough to take a presentable photo.  I’m not even sure how to describe my love for it.   I didn’t even love the eyebrow products I used to sell as a direct sales rep! I’m beyond picky, and I found the perfect brow product with Quo… for only $12!!

The eyeshadow palette is great.  The eyeshadows themselves are matte and apply beautifully.  I wish there were more colour options as to what I would personally wear.  But alas, not everyone likes dark/black smokey eyes – so that’s a personal suggestion more than a judgement of the company.  

The brush set is beyond gorgeous.  Do you see it? Ah! I do have to say; I wish there were more eye brushes.  Aside from that – the brushes are perfect.  I’ve been using them for a week now, and the lipstick and eyeshadow brushes I just find myself using without conscious thought.  

All in all, I think these products were a hit.  Would I buy and pay for all of them?  Maybe not, because of personal preference.  Do I believe that they’re quality made and worthy products, absolutely!
