this is the second shade of the newly released Eyes To Kill Silk Eyeshadows i ordered few days ago on douglas.de. (the other one, #9 i reviewed here)
these are creamy loose powder eyeshadows, lightly pressed with a plastic insert that come in a glass jar. the finish is highly shimmery and metallic. this sort of eyeshadows was already introduced to us by affiliated group mother L'Oreal and sister Lancôme, now under a more luxurious brand of the clan.
they contain 4g and cost 29.95€.
shade #6 is a bronze with olive green and light sandy taupe flecks. it is a very rich and very very shimmery greenish bronze with multicolour glimmer. in some angles it looks like a golden brown, in other angles it's a bronzey olive. it is much more pigmented in finger-swatches than it is when using a brush, the sheerness was quite surprising to me (but only in a relative way. the colour is rather transparent also due to it's shimmers).
i got minimal to almost no fall outs with this shade, less than with the other shade.
the wearing time is very good, even without an eyeshadow base it didn't cause any problems and stayed intense and shimmery many hours.
not something for friends of matte shades, but definitely beautiful. i find it overpriced, though, but unfortunately the other (cheaper) brands of the L'Oreal group don't offer such nice colours.
in my order i got another Eyes To Kill Excess mascara sample & a Chloé pouch (like here).
i have compared it to some similar colours in my stash: it's a more sparkly version of a mixed colour of both lookalikes. so you don't really neccessarily NEED it. but i don't think we NEED any make up at all hahaha ;)

Die Farben sind richtig toll, aber 30 Euro sind wirklich übertrieben :(
ReplyDeleteDie Farbe ist schön :-)
ReplyDeleteI was considering ordering this as my first GA ETK eyeshadow and now I see how close it is to Abyssinian Catbird which is in the mail on it's way to me know. Am I safe skipping it?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great review and comparison!
@perilouslypale: as you can see on my swatch the RBR is a bit darker than GA. also the shimmer in GA is much stronger. but they're definitely very close, but maybe the difference is more apparent on your fair skin.
