Formula Overview
$6.25/0.06 oz. - $104.17 Per Ounce
The shimmer eyeshadows are more consistent in pigmentation with the majority of shades having opaque color coverage. The more metallic/sparkly the shade is, the creamier and more emollient the eyeshadow felt in the pan, which often yielded really smooth application and good adherence to the lid, though a few worked better with a fingertip or a dampened brush for true-to-pan color or to get a truer finish/sheen.
Most shades, however, worked well with brushes, and I didn't have trouble applying or blending out most of the shimmer shades. The more satin to pearl like finishes tend to feel a little thinner but blend out well. These shades wore between eight and nine hours on me with some of the more foiled-like shades creasing noticeably at the end (and the less foiled-like ones fading).

Again, another sterling set of shades from SG – who goes from strength to strengh in the eyeshadow department. Angelic caught my eye and so did Celestial Sphere – that light pewter shade is beautiful.
So many beautiful shades! I hope they will be around for some months so I can get some of them.
Have I missed when all of these new SG shades are going to be available? I’ve been checking the site and haven’t seen them and don’t see any mention of them under new products.
They are possibilities in the grab bag option!
Will these be sold as singles, or are they only available through the grab bag? Thanks!
Just in the grab bag as far as I know!
