The weather is finally cooling down in Toronto (well, it WAS… today it’s like 30°C again – UGH!), and I am sooo happy that I can start talking about new fall launches. Nothing makes me happier than the cool autumn air mixed with the scent of dying leaves (well that came out weirder than I expected, but you know what I mean!).

Quo has launched their most recent seasonal collection to help get you in the mood for the cooler season and I’m allll about that life.

They’ve released three new eyeshadow palettes, and I have the one called Plum Perfect ($18 CAD). I was pretty damn happy when I saw this palette because I was a little bit worried this would be yet another neutral palette. But I can happily report that although there are neutral shades in there, there’s also some gorgeous purples and a mid-tone red/pink that I am absolutely adoring.

Even better is that this palette swatches and wears incredibly well. Quo‘s eyeshadows can be hit and miss for me so I’m never sure what kind of quality I’m going to be getting. This Plum Perfect palette definitely gets the thumbs up from me though!

With every Quo launch, the item I get the most excited about is their face palettes. I’ve never found a dud amongst these palettes! The colours always work really, really well for me and I love the layout and size of the pans. This Sweet Illusion Face Palette ($20 CAD) has a more coral toned blush as well as a bronzer and a highlighter.

The blush shade is the kind of shade that makes me giddy with excitement. I do think it’s a weird pick for fall, but hey, not everything can be vampy deep cheeks! The bronzer is warm, but not too much so and works well on my (roughly) NC/NW20 skin. The highlighter isn’t overly reflective, so if you just want a bit of a highlight, this is a good option.

They re-release this brow palette ($12 CAD) with every season and they just don’t work for me due to the colouring. Here’s a look at my swatches of it from an older collection:

And lastly, I’ve got the limited edition matte lipstick in Mysterious ($14 CAD).

Looking to get into deeper, darker lips for fall? Look no further than this beautiful shade. Since it’s a matte, I did find the formula was a little bit stiff to apply, but the colour payoff was so, so worth it! It also has a lovely vanilla scent.

I decided to go all out with the deeper plums and red tones for my look. I wasn’t sure how the coral cheeks would work with this look, but in the end I feel like the lipstick shade ended up affecting how the cheeks looked so it really tied everything together.

The blush is definitely quite pigmented, so go easy if you don’t want a lot of colour. the bronzer and highlighter are quite subtle, which works for us faired-toned folk as we lose our summer tans.

For the eyes, I used the mid-tone pink/red on the upper crease, the silvery-purple on the lid and the deeper purple on the outer half of the lid. Everything blended well together and I had no issues with pigmentation. All these shots were taken roughly 6 hours after application so you can see that everything has held in place and stayed quite pigmented!

I was really happy with how this collection played out on my face. Let me know if you’re into this new fall release by Quo, or if you’re lamenting the end of summer! 😉
