Giorgio Armani Eye Tint Liquid Eyeshadow Swatches (x10)

I've been meaning to review Giorgio Armani Eye Tint Liquid Eyeshadow ($30.00 for 0.13 fl. oz.) at some point (I think I initially bought only a few shades, but I recently picked up several more when all the retailers were doing 25% off beauty).
