Editor's Review

MAC Mysterious Influence Spellbinder Shadow ($22.00 for 0.02 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark olive green with warmer, brown undertones and a frosted sheen. It had good color payoff with a soft, finely-milled texture that blended out without too much work and didn't appear patchy on bare skin, and it was fully opaque and applied with ease over primer. The color wore just over seven and a half hours on me, and it had no signs of wear with primer after nine and a half hours. Dior Jardin #3 (PiP, ) is less shimmery, darker (95% similar).

Claims / Ingredients

Black, ionized pigments are magnetically charged, fusing the loose powder together so it magically maintains its form and dimension with a rich, meteoric metallic finish. Specially designed in shiny black packaging with multicoloured glitter and the M∙A∙C logo in rose gold.

While the idea behind these might seem like a gimmick (and it is) and you don't get a lot of product for your money (you don't), I love this shadow and I'm sorry I missed out on Dynamically Charged (it was sold out when I picked up Mysterious Influence). I have a real weakness for this type of colour - murky bronzey olive type shades - and even though I have about 5 dupes of this, I just couldn't resist. It applies and blends so nicely and even works with regular shadows that don't have the magnetic thing going on.
