Revlon Shadow Links | $3.50
After seeing so many reviews on the Revlon Shadow Links and seeing many people kind of say they are hit and miss I dedicated to pick them up at my local drugstore while they were on sale. I purchased four of the shades and these cost me about two dollars and fifty cents, which isn't a great deal up compared to close to four dollars it is! I wanted to purchase a variety of shades and finishes so I could compare them to each other but also find out which shades and formula Revlon hit the mark on!
After seeing so many reviews on the Revlon Shadow Links and seeing many people kind of say they are hit and miss I dedicated to pick them up at my local drugstore while they were on sale.

I wanted to purchase a variety of shades and finishes so I could compare them to each other but also find out which shades and formula Revlon hit the mark on!
I chose to pick up the colors (left to right): Bone, Greige, Gunmetal & Sea Foam.
I was very worried to purchase these because I had heard many bad reviews on these saying they were dry and lacked pigmentation and overall were just not a super great eyeshadow. While I believe some of those claims from other reviews I also find these to really work for me! I also love the unique click together idea which allows me to easily travel with the products and to make any different looks!
I wanted to try a few different colors and finishes from this line so the first two colors in my collection (Bone & Greige) are both matte shades while the last two shades (Gunmetal & Sea Foam) are both satin finishes. I do have to say although I really enjoy all of these overall the satin shades have won me over the most.
The first shade, Bone, is a very neutral cream/white color and has VERY little pigmentation (as seen below), I did however use this in a look today for my browbone highlight and it did look very pretty, where its matte and only a few shades lighter than my skintone it worked well to bring light to that area. The second shade, Greige, I used as a crease for transistion color and this worked very well, it did remind me of the Tease shade from my Naked 2 Palette, but a bit more grey which I tend to like a little bit better than the more brown toned shades. The third shade, Gunmetal, is the most pigmented of the four and is the first satin finish in my click palette, I used this as an outer v color and slightly into the crease, it really blended well and did deepen my crease very nicely. The fourth shade, Sea Foam, is a very nice minty blue sea foam color and this is very shimmery and does swatch very nicely, I did apply this in the center of my lids for a super bright pop of color, although it worked when I finished my eye look and blended everything together this color did just blend away, but I was able to build it up and get a nice wash of the blue shade.
Overall I was very impressed with all the shades that I picked up and although some of them weren't as great as others, they did apply to the eyes with pigmentation and blendability. I find that when swatched these are dry, which swatching with your fingers I kind of expect. I do however feel like these apply one hundred percent better with a brush (like they are meant to). I do want to try a few more of the brighter colors along with some more of the deeper shades because I do think those shades will be more pigmented and work better on the eyes.
Have you tried the Revlon Shadow Links? What colors do you have? What are your thoughts?
