Sephora Magnetic, Striking, All Day Charged Up Liquid Eyeshadows Reviews & Swatches
Magnetic
Sephora Magnetic Charged Up Liquid Eyeshadow ($10.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a vivid, deep orange-gold with strong, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which made it more pigmented than marketed. The texture was lightweight, creamy, and spreadable without taking too long to set into place for 10-hour wear.

Formula Overview
$10.00/0.16 oz. - $62.50 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "lightweight, buildable" and set "without creasing, fallout, or fading for comfortable" wear. The coverage was more semi-opaque to opaque for many shades, so for those wanting a sheerer effect or to really build up the layers, I'd recommend deliberately using less than you expect to need as these felt more pigmented than sheer from using them.
The texture was lightweight, emollient, and creamy--more mousse-like--and they had 10-15 seconds of working time that enabled me to apply, blend, and place without having to work at a breakneck pace. Once the formula dried down, it was quite set and would flake off if one tried to keep working with it. Left alone, then they lasted for 9-10 hours without fading, flaking, or creasing on me.

All Day
Sephora All Day Charged Up Liquid Eyeshadow ($10.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a medium, rosy copper with moderate, warm undertones and a lightly sparkled, more metallic finish. It had opaque color coverage in a single layer, which could be blended out and diffused for more of a medium-wash of color if desired.
The texture was lightweight, almost mousse-like, but quite creamy and easy to work with on bare skin using a fingertip or a brush. It set within 10-15 seconds and stayed on well for nine hours before fading slightly on me.

These are clearly great shadows at a great price (and with the discount on Sephora’s house brand coming up, the price is even greater!). Striking really caught my eye – it looks like a shade I could wear. And it’s got the Temptalia “Rec’d” stamp of approval!
These are gorgeous shades – loving the rose gold gold Striking the best. Excellent ratings too.
All Day and Striking could be so perfect together for a simpler rose-gold/copper eye look, I think. All 3 shades do look excellent!
