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).

Delivered Freely reminds me of a Lancome eyeshadow that I wore near constantly and used up back in the late 70’s because of it having a deeper plummy coppery tone, like a light mahogany tone, it went with almost everything I wore and made my eyes pop!
Restored Fully is unique – pan looks like a typical burgundy, but the swatch is complex. The base appears warm brown, with warm and cool plum/wine tones, and that pretty cool pink shimmer. Beautiful!
I do so very much like these! I think fhe first few shades are quite similar to each other, but Delivered Freely and Cranberry Boy are just divine.
I don’t often wear these shades and I’m pretty well stocked for those times when I do but, honestly, these are SO pretty – all of them!
I am so happy to see I received Violet and Cranberry Boy!!
