Quo Summer 2016 Bronzer in "Sunny Days" |
Quo Summer 2016 Bronzer in "Sunny Days" ($22 CAD):
Housed in a round plastic compact printed with a gorgeous nautical pattern, the "Sunny Days" bronzer holds a three-tone powder pressed with a wavy pattern. Included is a soft satin taupe, a pale champagne shimmer, and a soft bronze shimmer. All three shades are very soft and powdery; the pigmentation is a bit weak on the satin taupe but the other two shimmers all apply very well.

Quo Summer 2016 Eyeshadow Palette in "High Tide" |
Quo Summer 2016 Eyeshadow Palette in "High Tide" ($22 CAD):
This is a very compact eight-shade palette with the same nautical packaging as the bronzer. The shadow pans in the palette are all very long and thin, which makes application a bit tricky.

Included is a satin plum, a dark satin violet plum, a gunmetal metallic, and a dark satin brown. The formulation for these is fairly pigmented and creamy but the eyeshadows are extremely prone to fall-outs. The texture is so soft that small chunks actually fall out when I swipe my finger across the surface.

The other four shades included are all a bit too similar to each other. You get a silvery white shimmer, a creamy satin, a sheer light grey, and a sheer silvery white shimmer. Overall I am not very impressed with this eyeshadow palette but the "Sunny Days" bronzer is great, especially because you get 19 grams of powder!
