Give Me Glow Foiled Pressed Shadows Reviews & Swatches (Part 4 of 5)
Electric Mint
Give Me Glow Electric Mint Foiled Pressed Shadow ($7.00 for 0.105 oz.) is a bright, minty, cooler green base with warmer, green-gold shifting metallic shimmer. It had nearly opaque color coverage paired with a smooth, lightly creamy consistency that felt almost liquid-like to the touch as it was so finely-milled and silky.
The eyeshadow applied evenly to bare skin and blended out with ease. There was a little bit of creasing visible after eight and a half hours of wear.

Formula Overview
$7.00/0.105 oz. - $66.67 Per Ounce
The brand offers matte and foiled finish eyeshadows, though the descriptions are largely the same: "highly pigmented," "blendable," and "finely milled." The difference is with the foiled finish eyeshadows, the brand cautions to use less because they're that pigmented and going in with a heavier hand could cause flaking.
The foiled eyeshadows are incredibly pigmented with a very smooth, creamy consistency that was dense without being too stiff or too firmly-pressed into the pan. I didn't have any issues picking up product with a dry brush, and they also worked well with fingertips or a dampened brush an even more intense, metallic finish that was ultra-shiny.
I found this finish to be more consistent, too, and it was rare to run into major issues with the shades in this finish. There were a few with a touch of fallout or that might have creased a bit faster over time, but by and large, they hit all the high notes for those who love pigmented, metallic eyeshadows. They wore between eight and nine hours, often creasing more than fading on me.
They come in oversized pans (relative to average size) at 37mm, and they contain double the product (0.10 oz.) the average eyeshadow does (0.05 oz.).

Pool Party
Give Me Glow Pool Party Foiled Pressed Shadow ($7.00 for 0.105 oz.) is a brighter, medium teal with subtle, cool undertones and a frosted finish. The texture seemed slightly thicker compared to most shades in the formula, so I preferred pressing it on with a moderately-dense brush or using a fingertip to help smooth the product out.
It had rich color coverage that adhered evenly for the most part but had light fallout during application. The color started to crease a bit after eight hours of wear.

The consistency was smooth to the touch, almost like a cream-powder as it didn’t feel too dense/thick, but it wasn’t powdery at all. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Beautiful, bright jewel shades – but then I have your palette Christine with the most interesting teal kind of shades in Earthbound and Flying High.
However I don’t care for the name of the purple shade – Ultra Violence – why not Ultra Violet?
I love the colour of Ultra Violence, but really dislike the name. I mean, why?
I don’t know if there is a connection, but Lana Del Rey has an album/song titled Ultraviolence. (This is the exact shade my slightly synesthetic mind pictures when listening, too!)
That teal Pool Party, plus all 3 purples are absolutely swoon-worthy! I do have dupes for Ultra Violence and Peri, but I’m less certain about the other two shades I’m eyeing.
I do not need more eyeshadow, I do not need more eyeshadow, I do not need more eyeshadow… *repeats infinitely*
