The impending release of the Shop Shop Shop/Cook Cook Cook collection, which will feature a number of eyeshadow quads, has caused quite a bit of discussion about the merits of quads vs. single eyeshadows.
Personally, I'm a "singles" woman, though I recognize that the quads have their advantages.
If I'm not mistaken, a quad retails for $38.00, and individual shadows (in compacts) are $15.00 each, so in that respect, quads are a better value.
However, in a typical quad, there will be at least one color that I rarely or never use, so it essentially goes to waste.
Also, the quad palette takes up precious space, in comparison to the single compacts.
I like to "mix and match" my shadows, not often wearing them in the same combination more than maybe two or three times.
Having the shades I love in individual compacts lets me combine them freely.
What does everyone else think?
Are you, like I, single and loving it, or can you not get by without your quads?
