These shadows come in three finishes. Matte, Shimmer and Glitter. You get 0.042 oz of product and these eyeshadows are made in Italy or France depending on the finish. The colors I have above are Diving In (blue shimmer), Black Lace (matte charcoal) and Sweet Lollipop (coppery glitter). These shadows retail for $10.00 CND while the older eyeshadows were $7.00 for double the amount of product.
The packaging on this eyeshadow is actually quite interesting. You can open the bottom to remove the pan that isn't glued down, to put into something like a Z Palette. In theory this is a good idea however it does make the pan move around the compact which could potentially damage the product.
As you can see these aren't really that pigmented. Diving In was the least impressive of the the trio. It will literally blend away into nothing and it takes many layers to make the color even close to what it is in the pan. Black Lace is the next disappointment. The formula feels fine but this is actually supposed to be black when in reality it's just a charcoal. I was hoping this would be a true black as I only have one in my collection that is limited edition and was hoping that this could be a backup. No such luck sadly. Sweet Lollipop looks much more red toned on the website but in real life is more orange. Even though it swatched ok this isn't really that pigmented either. You have to really dig your brush in to pick up very little product. Once on the eyes it looks like nothing and I would put another copper shimmer on top.
I am not at all impressed with these eyeshadows. They really lack pigment and cost more for basically less product. Currently Sephora still has some of their old eyeshadows on sale, I recommend that you try those over these new ones. These newer eyeshadows feel and perform like, dare I say it, children's makeup.
