Curiosity killed the cat… Having misplaced a lovely khaki eyeshadow my friend Wendy sent me, I went searching in Boots for something similar and picked up this little quad. I’ve barely tried any L’oreal products at all but somehow this found its way into my grubby mitts.
The quad is slim and compact – it’ll fit easily in your makeup bag. It feels very light – no heft to it at all really - and doesn't have a mirror, but I always carry one with me regardless so not a problem in my opinion.
The khaki colour was pretty much what I was looking for! It didn’t have the olive sheen of the one I’d lost and was looking to replace, but I liked the shade and I thought I could probably get away with it for work. The blackened cranberry colour looked interestingly vampy too. The black and gold colours I was less impressed with, but as this little quad was so compact I didn’t mind two colours I wasn’t overly impressed with.

I don’t really know what to say about this quad… I kind of don’t have any strong feelings about it either way. The khaki and gold colours look lovely layered together, and the cranberry shade either has the bonus or the downside of blending out to a reddish brown, depending on your preference. Applied over a black base or brown base it retains its cranberry-ness, and is a decent colour to put in the crease if you're wearing a rosy shade on your lids. The charcoal colour is nothing to write home about at all. The texture of the whole set is pretty decent but again, nothing to write home about. "Trésors Cachés" translates into "Hidden Treasures" and for me that's not really true. "Alright for Work, Not The Worst" isn't such a catchy name really though, is it?
I have nothing negative to say about this palette, but I can’t find anything overly positive to say about it either. Do you ever feel that way?

Same feeling on this one for me . I have this one for quite some time now and i barely used it . When i first saw it , i thought: "Wow i have to have this " , but i wasn't very thrilled after i used it once . The "Trésors Cachés" name is overrated . It's not bad indeed , but not wow either .
ReplyDeletePretty! I get that meh feeling with a lot of MAC shadows, they do have some really nice ones but some of them are so stiff and crappy
