I would definitely not make any final decisions only after seeingthese pics: they're only good to get an idea about the colours!
These pictures were most likely taken a bit sneakily with phone cameras; most eyeshadows have lids closed, which distorts the actual colour of the shadows and doesn't let you see the texture really well (besides, maybe, that close-up of the purple shadow); the lighting might have been a bit crap, like Teresita says...
Plus, since these are mega METALS, the texture of the shadow in the pan hardly reflects the actual look of it when swatched. That's why we loved HerGreyness' photos!
I can't wait for the swatches!
