The formula of these shadows is really cool to the touch (hence the name I suppose) and they feel like a cream to powder formula. They are a bit bouncy and remind me of the Chanel Illusion D'Ombre shadows (see Epatant here) I’m not the biggest fan of the screw top lid as I think it looks and feels a little cheaper than the standard MAC fare, but the colour is very pretty for a neutral and I can see it being a hit so I don’t mind it so much. I find that it takes a bit of work to apply this with a brush as it struggles to deposit the pigment evenly, so I think a finger application is the easiest way to work this taupe shade over a well-primed lid.

Taupe is so wearable I love it:)
DeleteThis shade looks gorgeous, and the texture seems interesting although I agree about the convenience of their powder shadows. I have a huge wishlist of those to begin with!

The powder eyeshadows from MAC are among my faves, such great quality
DeleteLovely shade, I do like a taupe. Might give it a look, although definitely don't need it!
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice 'wash over the lid' shade
DeleteI want to fill up a clear-top palette, too, lol, but it would take me years!
ReplyDeleteThe clear tops are just so pretty - I have a full old style palette and a heap of quads but I want an all-neutral one, I think it would serve me well. Am thinking of those prefilled neutral palettes I've seen from MAC sometimes?
DeleteIt's pretty pretty! I've never tried this formula from them, but they sound like a bit of a bother. Still, I might have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteThey aren't my fave for formula, nice colours though. Would rather splash on other things from MAC to be honest
DeleteGreat choice! I love the Electric Cool formula - so bouncy and cute. I had Superwatt but gave it to my sister after realizing I had too many similar shades. I did get a different colour from A Novel Romance though. :)
ReplyDeleteSuper bouncy :) What colour did you end up getting this time around? :)
DeleteThat black shimmery one - forgot the name. Not the most unique, but I figure it's a good solo to haul around in case I need to amp up the face now and then.
DeleteWhat a lovely shade :)
ReplyDeleteI have told myself that I do not need any more eye shadows by MAC. I have 21 of them and I do not think I need anymore :D *just you wait, soon I will have more anyway ;)*
I really love the look of this one though but you are right, the packaging of the powder ones are much better :)

It's such a nice brown-taupe. Haha collection MAC shadows sounds like an obsession haha.
