Disclaimer: I purchased this.
Flock Party is the second of the eyeshadow quads from the Flights of Fancy summer collection by Wet
n Wild (overview post
here) that I have to show you. Very pretty colors, but probably the most disappointing of the 3 quads in terms of performance. There is some good in here, however, and I still managed to get some pretty eye looks out of it.
The strong point for all of the quads for me are the transition shades, as I found them easy to work with, smooth, and nice colors for my fair complexion. The transition color in Flock Party is a nice peachy beige and is just dark enough to darken my crease for a natural looking bit of definition. The weakest link in this palette is the large eyelid plummy shade, as it just did not want to build up color for me. Even using my finger did not yield opaque coverage with several passes, and even using a liquid with it (Mac's Fix Plus), I still had to work harder than should be necessary. The brass colored crease and brow bone shades are much easier to work with.
All that being said, I can't say I was disappointed in the eye looks I got from this quad, although it took a bit of work. The lovely gold glimmer on the center of the lid below is from J.Cat Beauty's Pris Metal Eye Mousse in Electra. Those things are phenomenal.
Here I'm wearing the quad without any other shadows, although I did use Mac's Fix Plus with the plummy shadow to build up the color. It's a bit patchy, but it works.
For $2.99, I've really got minimal complaints here.
