To be honest I didn't expect much as that is exactly what I got, the pigmentation is not great and there is a lot of fallout. This would be a good option for a teen who is just starting out with makeup.

Tips: If used wet the pigmentation is a lot better
I like ELF - and I use alot of it But unfortunately the color pay off was not that great so I had to pile it on - and then it looked caked on - not a pretty sight! I tried it with a primer but alas still not a good color pay off The price was good but I would rather spend a little bit more and actually be able to get a good look
Tips: Spend a little more on a better color pay off
But nothing to rave about. I have had this in Nouveau neutrals and butternut and each quad has two good workable shades which are frosty but not sparkly with good payoff and a couple which are glittery chalky and just not for me. Also bear in mind how little these are and getting your brush in the corners is a real hassle. Not expensive but not the best value for money either. If you love one give it a try but don't go buy the whole range without trying first!
I purchase this off iherb for approx $3NZD. I do agree with the reviews in that it is doesnt stay on long enough for my liking. You definately need to build the colour up but thats the joy of this product is that you get four shades. The size is a little smaller than normal, however it suits me because it fits in my handbag.
Overall, E.L.F is an inexpensive brand, so dont expect too much.
I originally bought this because a friend said she used it for her eyebrows... Great, except for the fact it's shimmery, so it was absolutely fine during winter.. But the moment the sun decided to show up, I looked like I had mini discoballs on my eyebrows. Okay that might be an exaggeration but yeah. It doesn't work for an eyebrow filler if it's going to be sunny.
So I decided to put it to the test for what it's meant to do... Here is where it got really average. I wanted to like it, because the colours were so nice, but it's just SO shimmery. And i'm not one to ever want anything shimmery on my face. So it sits at the bottom of my makeup drawer, and occassionally I might pull it out to use the white if I really want to brighten my inner eyes. But i've got so many other whites that this is a real backup.
These eyeshadows are seriously dirt cheap!! Some shades has amazing pigmentation and some are really bad quality. Overall it's a little bit more on the powdery side not buttery at all, but for the price you pay for they're still good products for sure!
The most pigmented one is probably "Day 2 Night" out of the whole colour range!
Nice colours but not the best. The pigmentation is not all that great but good for the price though and very easy to blend. Definitely need a good eye primer to make it stay properly.
This is a bit of a meh product, i don't reach for it but it is decently pigmented, the colours are pretty, i have the palette in butternut its good, its meh though now that i have a bigger collection of palettes it kind of just gets over looked but great for a begginer or someone on a budget, its got 4 pretty neutral colors that can create a great everyday look.
Tips: Use a primer, use your finger to pack on color
I think that this little eyeshadow quad is great for the price, but is a little bit difficult to work with. I found that the first two shades were decently pigmented, the third colour was incredibly pigmented, and the fourth shade wasn't very pigmented at all. I also found that the third shade was quite difficult to blend if too much product was added, so that one should be used very sparingly. Overall, I thought it was average, but definitely would be one to pick up if you want a cheap eyeshadow quad.
Obviouslly it has a great price point which was why it originally why it appealed to me. But I found the pigmentation to be terrible and was quite a chalky consistency. I could have had a bad batch but I wouldn't repurchase
