electric cool eye shadow - Page 36

Infra and Dynamo are up now. Finally!

About time!

 

 

I went in search of Dynamo today.  After checking 2 stores, while I was out, I checked the mobile site and saw it was added and promptly ordered.  I didn't get Infra Violet.  I have bought more of these than I originally planned.  I'm still on the fence on the purple on.  I did get Electroplate too.

Don't feel bad about missing out on the purple, it is my least favourite of the four I bought.

 

It didn't blend as well as the others and was also harder to get even coverage.

I didn't even buy the purple - seeing it in person, it was a very average purple color, not rich or complex. There will be better purples this fall/winter for sure!!

 

I DO love Infra Violet, though - I love that kind of pink with my coloring, but as I get older, the more powdery or glittery versions really aren't as flattering. Meanwhile, Infra Violet has the perfect texture on my skin so it looks beautiful and youthful, while still looking nice and bright. I wore it last night, as a matter of fact, with LoveCloud on the cheeks and Shift to Pink Lip Gelee (from Lillyland) and it was such a good look, I think it's going to become a standard in the repertoire!

 

Edit: I forgot to mention I used SP Goldstone as a bronzer too, lightly contouring cheeks and on forehead, across nose, plus a little on the shoulders too!

Today was a coraly type day. Love Power on the tear duct, Infraviolet on the inner 1/3, Dynamo in the middle, coil in the outer 1/3 and blended in the crease with naked pigmet to the brow.  I patted on more dynamo after I was done blending. I used the 242 and 213 to apply and the 286 in the crease. I used Whiskey liner from UD and did a gradient with the EC shadows in the same order on the lower lash line with EL Sumptious Extreme mascara in Copper.  I wore Stunner for my blush and slight contouring with Strada. I wore Flamingo on my lips with Paper Lantern in the center for a pop of shimmer. LOVED it and forgot pictures!

Crap! I got Fashion Circuit today and It's gorg! I couldnt stop touxhing it, it was so cool feeling. I was telling myself stop that, dont want to waste it lol Havent tried it on my eyes yet. I'm scared I might love it and want more!   

So, how many eyeshadows have you all bought? I only bought 4.

All but the blue one and backups of 4.

Thanks!!  I ordered both PF and SW to see which one is closest on me...  I have my fingers crossed that one of them is close to my beloved VS!!

I bought 7 and am considering going back for yellow one after seeing a mua wearing the yellow as a wash of colour on the lid and fashion circuit as a liner below the eye- the contrast looked fab

That sounds very pretty. DO you remember the kind of lippy she wore with it?

Finally tried my Fashion Circuit. It didn't last very well and I have dry lids. And I used a pp. Going to try and set it with a shadow on top. Maybe that will help

I haven't bought any of these yet!

I think I want one, but I'm not sure which - what are people's favourites??

Thanks lovelies :)

My favourite is Dynamo, it's my first coral then Superwatt, a great everyday shade. Fashion Circuit is gorgeous but I don't wear it too often and Highly Charged was causing me come trouble, streaky/uneven, but I think I figured it out. Really I like them all.

Since we don't get these in Belgium i was about to skip them, but i just couldn't get them out of my head lol

A lovely Specktrette is cp'ing them for me now, can't wait to get em so excited

I ordered Superwatt, Fashion Circuit , and Highly Charged :)

I used mine with TFSI and it lasted all day.

 

 

It depends on what colours you like. If you want neutrals, Superwatt is very pretty. I also love Electroplate, it's a nice taupey colour. Fashion Circuit is very bright teal, but very pretty. It's pretty much the same as L'Oreal Endless Sea Infallible though, which is much cheaper (although not available in the UK). I didn't get Dynamo because I prefer the new coral-pink Chanle Illusion D'Ombre instead as that's shimmery and Dynamo isn't.

 

I haven't bought any of these either. I keep going back and forth with getting them. The colors are pretty and they felt nice after being swatched. Now that I've finished hauling from By Request with a few more items added from Heavenly Creature, I've made my final decision to skip. I just don't have the funds. And I know I want some items from Style Seeker and Marilyn coming up, plus I want stuff from Chanel, YSL and now Inglot. Something's gotta give!

I had difficulties with application at first but yesterday I put Coil on with just a finger and it was perfect. These are not waterproof though. My eyes are teary - tears go into my crease and the e/s is offff... a stikier primer does not help because the e/s still comes off and the sticky base clues by lids together!
 

I will be getting/receiving superwatt after all! yay!

Just swatched Superwatt at my MAC counter and it is gorgeous but sold out! I'll order one when I get home I think

My favorite is Pure Flash, hands down. I bought a backup of it even.

Meee to! I wear it a lot.

Most of them are still available from Debenhams and Mac online. The counter in HoF in Guildford only had 2 colours left when I went there on Saturday though. Don't order from HoF though as they still have them priced at £19 for some strange reason.

 

My MAC counter is almost sold out of all of the colors. When I was at the mall today they had Switch to Blue, Infra Violet, Electroplate, and the yellow color left. That is it. But on a happy note, I went into Sephora to swatch the Buxom cream ES's and Golden Retriever was a close dupe to Coil. Temptalia mentioned some other dupes from the Buxom shades that I will try when these are gone.

Mine so far is Dynamo b/c it's my only coral. I love all of them I have worn tho. I need to wear the other two lol. I am really glad I decided to try these. 

 What others did you get?

 

I think my favorite is Fashion Circuit, just because it's the most pigmented and easy to apply of the ones I own. It's so effortlessly fabulous for a summer night - just slap it on the lids with bright blue eye liner on the lower lid and some blue mascara - instant glam without any work. With some bronzer and that fantastic red lipglass from Hey Sailor, it's a guaranteed look with a red dress!

 

Then again, Infra-Violet makes a super flattering look that doesn't look overdone - good with shimmery pale lips.

 

Blacklit will be my most used year-round. I haven't opened my Dynamo yet - waiting until things are a little bit more fall-sy before breaking it open. I'm going to love that one with Cusp of Dawn and Strictly Plutonic.

 

I didn't really get into the neutrals from this collection, even though they'd be lovely on others. For neutral eyes, I figure I'll just wait for the pressed pigments!

I bought 2 (Electroplate and Superwatt) and a friend bought me Highly Charged as a gift. I like them, but don't love them. For some reason my brush seems to just push them around rather than getting enough color on it. They seem to work better with natural fiber rather than synthetic brushes. 

 

And like all grays Electroplate pulls blue on me --sigh--. I'm still looking for my perfectly neutral gray shadow.....

I just ordered Superwatt, but Liba has me dying for Fashion Circuit and it's sold out everywhere :(
