Almay Subtle Eye Shadow Squad, The World is My Oyster

I received the Almay Squad Eyeshadow Ambition for free in exchange for an honest review. I'm actually not a huge make-up fan and only wear it for special occasions. As a result, I'm not a make-up coordinating pro, and I prefer a natural look. This Almay product was perfect for my needs! Ambition was a great pallet and allowed me to use a few different hues and colors that were pre-matched and guaranteed to look great together. I loved the naural tones and hint of shimmer in two of the shades. Just enough sparkle to be subtle and not obnoxious. Great for my taste! This product does NOT come with an applicator, but I keep a package of applicators handy and sometimes even just use my fingertips for eye shadow application. Almay happens to be my personal choice (and my dermatologist's top choice) for make-up due to its high quality, hypo-allergenic qualities, and reasonable price point. I hope Almay continues to carry this color combination and product for years to come. Will definitely purchase!

I received the Almay Shadow Squad Eye Shadow from the Walmart Spark Reviewer program in exchange for my thoughts and opinions on this product. I am reviewing the eyeshadow color they call, “Ambition”. When I first opened the compact, I was worried about the color. It looked very brownish. Once I applied to my eyelids, it looked different on the skin then in the compact. Instead of being shades of browns it appeared it was different shades of purples. The Quad is not as large as I had expected considering four colors were in it. The height and length are the same as a AA battery. No applicator came with the eyeshadow compact, so you will have to get one of your own. I was not happy about that since I didn't have one on hand. When it came time to apply the eye shadow it went on very smoothly. The colored lasted throughout the day. I had no creasing in the center of your eye lid. I liked the four colors that came in the compact. They complimented one another and allowed for mixing and matching the colors as the time of day (lighting) called for. Even if you plan to use all four colors at once, the different shades will look great for shading etc. I'm very please with this product and would highly recommend to others.
