You're not a boring shopper you just feel safer in these colors. And well yes I have been in the same position, that is until I found wonderful sites like specktra and others where I've found inspiring looks and tutorials. Now I've bought several other colors, today i even tried green eye shadow. Which i never thought I'd wear!! So... my recommendation is that you find a look that you love with shadows you'd never wear and start trying it at home. Then venture to other places and you'll see how much compliments you'll start getting. Just start with one color like a dark blue or green and that way you won't feel like you're wearing something too bright. I hope this rant helps
