electric cool eye shadow

[Spanky]

Oh my god. Highly Charged looks amazing.

Shellygrrl,

I can't even tell you how pretty these are in person! I think if you are a purple fiend, you will love this color! Enjoy.

 

[Spanky]

Thanks Spanky!! How exciting! They look awesome!! Need to figure out which ones I want...

Pixie,

Hey girl! They are so exciting, but I think once you all see them & play around for yourselves you are really going to be excited! The choice factor was very difficult because they are so beautiful in person!

 

[Spanky]

Thank you, Spanky. Great swatches!

Highly Charged is a definite, Superwatt and Electroplate, and possibly Love Power are going on my list too

Rockin,

No problem with the swatches!

Superwatt & Electropower are going to be great for those of us who like taupe & earthy colors.

 

[Spanky]

if these are still around in a few weeks, I'd go back for the coral and the cobalt.

Aradhana,
Glad u like the swathches! Weren't you totally blown away by these? I love GA ETK shadows (own a few) & the one of the spongy Chanel's so I was really not expecting much from these. I'm not comparing these to either one of those brands because the texture is so unique & the pearlized pigments are so mesmerizing.

Agreed, Fashion Circuit is not kelly green & Dynamo is not anything I gravitate towards, but someone posted earlier that they really liked it (yeh!) but it did photograph well.

I don't think the pictures quite pick up the sparkly factor, so I think for a lot of people they are going to have to see them before they get exctied, you know? That's what happened to me & HC. I was really trying to put a hold on my buying & liked the swatches but really fell for some the MSFs & a couple MESs in person.

I can't wait to wear mine to! We'll have to compare notes. Enjoy!

SHELLCAT & ALL OTHER YOUNG VENUS FANS...YOU ARE GOING TO GO BANANAS FOR LOVE POWER!

ENJOY.

 

[Spanky]

I'm so glad that I was able to post swatches, as I always appreciate seeing everyone's & taking the time to post & share!

I know a lot of people are curious about these, so I'm anxious to hear what you all think of them when you get them.

 

[valkolak]

Thank you for the lovely swatches, Spanky!

All of these are drool-worthy!
I think my picks are Brilliantly Lit, Blacklit (so happy that the sparkle shows up!!), and Electroplate. I like Fashion Circuit but I only want it if it's teal and some teals are straight up green on me. I need to compare Brilliantly Lit to Tarina Tarantino Tokyo Hardcore, a stunning chartreuse I have that might be similar. Although Idk whether it being similar would make me want it more or less. Superwatt looks so familiar to me...hmmm...

 

[Shellcat]

OMG! Spanky! Thanks for the swatches...WOW! I need at least four. Crap!!!

Electroplate reminds me of Moth Brown from your swatch.


Electroplate, Coil, and Superwatt for sure!

SHELLCAT & ALL OTHER YOUNG VENUS FANS...YOU ARE GOING TO GO BANANAS FOR LOVE POWER!

ENJOY.

Fashion Circuit is GORGEOUS. And I love Dyanmo. I am calling tomorrow to put the purple and superwatt on hold.

Well then I'll have to get it! I loooove greens

 

[Audrey C]

I'm going to be good and skip these - I'm holding out for the Style Seeker duos and the Marilyn VP. Thanks for the swatches, Spanky!

 

[Richelle83]

Those bananas really explain my heart after seeing those swatches Spanky!!! I'm screwed.

 

[lmcmullen]

I was going to skip this (yeah like I skipped $150 worth of Hey Sailor LOL) but these swatches have sold me. I love the L'oreal infallibles, can't resist anything like those.

I hope Electroplate doesn't pull blue on me - I'm a total gray eyeshadow ho' and feel compelled to get every one of them that comes out but so many of them end up looking light blue on me, and it's not my best look....

I think I'm in for the champagne colored one, Superwatt, and maybe Electroplate and Coil.

 

[honey on boost]

Thanks for the swatchs spanky! Dynamo is my favorite. I can't wait to order some.

 

[baghdad81]

May skip or end up buying electroplated and superwatt. Money is a bit tight ATM.

 

[Babylard]

AHHHH SO PURTY!! As long as they are not goo in a pot LOL ;D I already see that I might get that pewter shade

 

[duckrodeo]

They all look gorgeous, but nothing is really grabbing me right now! I'm intrigued by Infra-Violet though, so I'll await a swatch of that! I have a feeling that if I'm going to buy any of these, I will probably give in to Infra-Violet and/or Fashion Circuit.

Also, about a month ago Allura posted Estee Lauder's Fall promo pictures. I did not take my normal route to the MAC counter and I swear this display jumped in my path, seriously...as it's release date is listed as August. I have never bought any EL MU, but was very intrigued by the Violet Underground palette because I think it is supposed to be similar to the ED shadows formula (correct me if I'm wrong). It was beautiful to look at, but didn't feel like I couldn't live without it. The bronze color is beautiful, so hopefully EL or MAC will release something similar to this. I was very interested in the two matte lippies with the collection, as they looked really beautiful in the promo pictures. Violet Crush is not a color I would ever gravitate towards & Black Cassis is something I would have died for in the late 90's/early 2000's but just fell out of wearing such goth, vampy colors. Well...both of them somehow made it into my bag...they are both beautiful & the matte texture seems really nice (I like mattes, Ruby Woo being one of my favs). I think that Violet Crush might satisfy some of the longings for intriguing violet shades and/or those of us who missed the boat on some of these type colors in MAC's LE releases (there have been so many). Black Cassis will be a great fall shade or those of us who don't mind a little walk on the vamp side. I can't wait to wear these, as they are so different from my red lip obsession.

Spanky! Thanks so much for posting about the EL collection. I've been searching the web for weeks looking for info on this collection and all I found was zilch. I did read that it might be out for the Nordstrom anniversary sale. Not too many post about EL products and I haven't used any of their products since my college days. But I have a renewed interest in the brand and have bought several products this year and a few last year. I was eager to check out this purple collection. I can't wait to go check it out. Hopefully, some bloggers will have some pics but I doubt it. EL needs to get on board with the bloggers. There is a bronze color in the palette or are you talking about a separate bronze color? I don't recall any bronze color in the palette. I'm off to search for any new pics. Thanks again.

Hi there icecaramellatte! Great name =)...glad I posted about the EL fall collection, even if ur the only one who is interested! If u have a Nordstrom's near u, I would give them a call & see if u can pick one up. This was not in the 'Nordies Card Holder Only' Anniversary sale section, it was just out on the counter. Now that I think of it even if u aren't near a Nordies you can call the beauty stylist line at 800-723-2889, they can locate one & order it for u & have it shipped to ur house. Great service...Free shipping & returns. Maybe the bronze color wasn't bronze, I was in such a daze over the Electric Cool shadows, I didn't fully swatch the palette with focus. If u look at the promo picture the color between the blue & pink was really pretty- that was the one I was referencing in the palette. Now I'm wondering if I didn't give it a fair shot... Whatever, I need to save for Style Seeker, By Request & Marilyn. I'm super excited about the 2 EL Matte LSs & of course the Electric Cool Shadows, so my goodies should be able to hold me over for a little bit! It's nice to branch out into other lines, but ur right there isn't a lot of info about these & I would have never been aware that they had such great, beautiful colors & interesting products if I had not done a little research. HTH. Let me know ur thoughts on the Fall EL line & tell me if I'm missing out on anything!
