Interesting discovery about #10 Senso...while it swatches brown, it is 100% plum on the lid! At least on me. So I'm curious if others experience the same thing. I did see this shade described as plum in promos online so I'm guessing it's not just me. Fortunately I love plum so I still like the shade. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up because it does look quite different if you swatch it on your arm!

Here's Sara's review of Senso http://www.colormeloud.com/2015/01/giorgio-armani-eye-tint-10-senso-review.html Another rave review!
Not as plum on her as it is on me, though still a plummy brown. Maybe because I'm so warm it's pulling really cool on me? No idea! It's so cool on me in some lighting it looks silver lol.

Thank you - what wonderful swatches! I definitely need Emeraude. I still can't decide between 9, 11, and 12. I'm drawn to 11 but I don't think it will show up well on me.

I'm trying to look at the shadow but I'm getting distracted by the beautiful colour of your eyes! I have a feeling this is going to be an expensive hobby for me. Thus far, my list looks like Emeraude Onyx Green iron Shadow Cold Copper Senso I notice in the Natural & Chic review, she says she got shimmer migration, but I haven't experienced that at all. (Wearing Rose Ashes for the third time in ten days today.) maybe some of the ones with heavier shimmer have this problem.

Aww Katred it's the plum!
Like you, I haven't experienced any shimmer migration, but I've only tried Green Iron and Senso on the eyes so far so we shall see. So far I'm over the moon with this formula and with the applicator. It does such a great job of applying the product. I even used the applicator on my lower lashline today and just smudged it out with a brush and it worked perfectly.

Although my local store is showing stock, no testers yet at the local counter. Fail.

To distract myself from the Eye Tints, I've been shopping my stash. I wore Rose Popillia eyes to kill. Oh my! I forgot how amazing this color is. I'm wondering if the eye tints would play well with the eyes to kill. Could you layer one on top of the other? Many of the colors look like they would coordinate well with the eyes to kill but I don't know how well the different formulas would play together. I'm eager to check these out.

Beautiful swatches! Makes me want #9 too. Also #11, 5 and 6. 6 looks complex. 7 is a unusal shade, I have not seen anything quite like this before. Love these.

It's not the one that looks like Rose Popilla, unfortunately. That one is Shadow (possibly Flannel). Sorry for the confusion, but I only had a couple of minutes access to the testers, since they weren't officially "there" yet. But if you feel badly about missing RP, this one is a perfect imitation, just slightly different in the final texture.
Here are a few photos of me in Rose Ashes:
Here it is on my lids, blended with plum shades all around it. You can see how easily it blends with other shadows, I think.
Here I have it on the lids, not blended so much, which gives a better idea of the way the colour looks on its own.
Thought I'd include this one too, since I find it shows how it brightens the area around the eye from normal viewing distance.

Love love love! I love that whole eye look. That whole makeup look for that matter. You look gorgeous! And you're right - it really does brighten the eye.It's not the one that looks like Rose Popilla, unfortunately. That one is Shadow (possibly Flannel).

Regarding the Rose Popillia dupe, I just received Shadow tonight but it's dark outside so I can't swatch it unfortunately. I feel like it could be Shadow or Flannel actually. Which makes me want to buy Flannel now so I can mix the 2 together. Somebody stop me. No forget it, I can't be stopped.

I need Green Iron! Each additional swatch makes me fall more and more in love with this color. I didn't get a chance to see if my local Nordies or NM had this is in stock yesterday. Grrr... All of my other errands ran too long. I may just pick this up online instead.

Shadow is such a unique colour. I think Flannel is a closer dupe to RP than Shadow, I don't remember RP being too purple.
