I seldom blog unless I really like something and what brought me out of my blogging rut is the recent release of these face palettes from GRWM Cosmetics. I mean, just look at them! They're 4 stackable and interchangeable palettes that cater to both warm and cool undertones so, of course, I had to try them, right?
GRWM Cosmetics Quad Goals Ultimate Face Palette - MEET ALL 4! Highlighter, Blush, Contour, and Bronzer Quads!
What are the GRWM Cosmetics Quad Goals Ultimate Face Palette?
The GRWM Cosmetics Quad Goals Ultimate Face Palette is the brand's answer to the clamor of requests for more face products from their loyal customer base (I'm one of them!). They are 4 palettes with 4 powder products each. Each palette revolves around a theme or type of face product. So there is a palette for blushes, a palette for bronzers, a palette for highlighters, and another one for contour powders.
What Sets These Palettes Apart from Similar Products from Other Brands?
Aside from being a proudly Pinoy brand, GRWM Cosmetics is cruelty-free. They're also vegan and paraben-free and do not simply rebrand existing products. You can witness their product development on their social media pages too. These pieces of information are a big deal to me when I'm choosing which brands to support and purchase from but these details are not all.
Can we just talk about how painstakingly and lovingly designed the product packaging is? I mean, from the individual boxes alone (they're holographic and tinted to allude to the products contained inside) up to the inclusion of each shade's specific ingredients, you can see that the brand doesn't cut corners.
Each palette is only P749 pesos which might seem a bit stiff for a local brand but remember, we're paying for quality here as well. If you do the math, that is less than 200 pesos per shade PLUS you get a reusable palette in the end. I say this is a bargain!
Where to buy: You can buy in Shopee HERE or Lazada HERE if you want to avail of brand promos. The brand doesn't have a physical store as of now but maybe soon!
Do you know that the individual pans for each product are labeled and can pop out? I hope they're going to offer these individually in the future because I'm pretty sure I will run out of my favorite shades quite fast while the rest of the colors remain intact.
Since each pan can pop out of the palette, you can technically customize your palette and mix and match the specific products and shades that you want. No need to worry about mixing them up because as mentioned earlier, each pan is labeled with the product name and types, so yay!
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL SWATCHES BELOW WERE APPLIED WITH A LIGHT HAND

SHADES:
- No Shame - matte bubble gum pink that can brighten sallow complexions. This works well for both fair skin and morena gals. You can just layer the application
- Sun and Moon - frosty nude shimmer blush that can double as a highlighter for medium and deep skin tones. I used this over bronzer and gave myself a sunkissed look so I suggest this is for those who are fans of nude glowy look.
- 143 - warm golden coral shimmer blush. This works so well over tanned skin and you can use this for the body too for shimmery legs!
- Pablo's Latte - My favorite in the bunch for daily use. I have mature skin and shimmers don't look great for me. Since this is a matte nude pink, it gives my cheeks a healthy glow without drawing attention to my imperfections.
FINAL VERDICT: Will update after a month. What I can say for now is that the formula for these blushes seems to be formulated to be easy to use for beginners. The reason I say that is not just because of the color selection but also because of the degree of color saturation on the pigments. At first try, they might seem not pigmented enough but I personally prefer this formulation when it comes to face products because it allows me to layer them better.
GRWM Cosmetics Quad Goals Ultimate Face Palette BRONZER
Price: Only P749 for all 4 pans plus the palette and has a total of 16 grams of powder products. All matte shades are warm-toned.

SHADES:
- Sand Dollar - A warm-toned matte light brown shade for a subtle sun-kissed glow.
- Island Gal - An almost neutral tone light brown shade that can work as both bronzer and contour for fair skin individuals.
- Tan Lines - A warm medium brown that really makes me think of tan lines!
- Coco Crush - A deep warm brown that can honestly work great for body bronzing too.
FINAL VERDICT: Will update after a month. I'm not a fan of bronzers usually but I am slowly warming up to this palette. I actually use the shades as an eyeshadow since warm shades don't flatter the skin tone on my face and only apply them as bronzer sparingly. The main selling point of this palette for me would be how versatile the palette is. The lasting power is about half a day but then, I do touch my face too much.
GRWM Cosmetics Quad Goals Ultimate Face Palette CONTOUR POWDER
Price: Only P749 for all 4 pans plus the palette and has a total of 16 grams of powder products. All are matte shades and are mostly cool-toned browns.

SHADES:
- Check Mate - A neutral light brown that can work as both bronzer and contour for very fair skin peeps. I love this so much. It looks a bit washed out in my swatch but also note that I am swatching under direct sunlight. The good thing with the color being on the light side is that it can be worn during day time yayyyyy!
- Don Ton - A cool-toned matte light-medium brown. I have fair skin and this is what I will probably wear for evening makeup
- Clap Back - A medium ccol-toned brown shade
- Snatched - A deep neutral brown that can work for those who are about NC 25-40
FINAL VERDICT: Will update after a month. I LOVE this palette so far! I know that the first shades look too pale on the swatch and they probably are for most people...but for someone pale like me, they are heaven-sent! I love how I can use them to create subtle shades and also use them as bronzer. If you are nagtitipid and unsure between the bronzer palette and this, PICK THIS! The deeper tones are not very harsh so they're good for subtle contouring. Simply layer them up if you are into dramatic looks.
GRWM Cosmetics Quad Goals Ultimate Face Palette HIGHLIGHTER
Price: Only P749 for all 4 pans plus the palette and has a total of 16 grams of powder products. All are shimmer shades.

SHADES:
- High Beam - A frosty silvery white that can give you chok-chok skin look if applies sparingly
- Sakura - A neutral frosty pink shade that will look great as a highlighter for fair to medium skin tone
- 11:11 - A warm frosty champagne that can look peachy and sunkissed under certain lights. I think this will be a universal favorite. I wish they sell this as an individual shade.
- Goal Digger - A warm frosty golden caramel that will make you look as decadent as the dessert if you have warm and deep skin.
FINAL VERDICT: Will update after a month. It is so strange for me to like this because I am not a fan of highly pigmented shimmers but I find that I can use these highlighters on the body too so now I like them. If you have pale skin and unsure about purchasing this because of the two darker shades, just know that they work well as body shimmers. I'm thinking those who are morena can use the lighter shades for the same purpose too so overall, I would say this is a good highlighter palette for both the face and the body.
I really enjoy the fact that I can pop out individual pans and sort of create my own palette. Very helpful for someone who is always on the go.
My current favorites are the above!
