Metal-X Discussion

[erine1881]

ok, so the metal-x cream shadows are:

virgin silver- white w/ silver pearlized pigments
pure ore - metallic green gold
goldspice - metallic coppery gold
fusion gold - light pinky beige w/ gold pearlized pigments
pink ingot - mid-tone blue pink w/ gold pearlized pigments
metalblu - navy blue w/ silver pearlized pigments
cyber - metallic silver w/ silver pearlized pigments
6th sin - forest green w/ silver pearlized pigments
plum electric -deep purple w/ red pearlized pigments

these are a cream colour-rich full coverage shadow. they are made with waxes that are flexible so they adhere to the skin well. a little goes a long way, so they can be sheered down with a little amount, or piled on for maximum coverage and opacity. they are NOT crease-resistant.

and the glitter eye liners (gel based) are:

blitzed - yellow gold w/ multicolour glitter
wonderwhite - silver white w/ multicolour glitter
enbronze - deep brown w/ multicolour glitter
pewterpink - blue purple w/ multicolour glitter
lime dandy - mid-tone yellowgreen w/ multicolour glitter

the working names for these ironically were (in order from top):
glamour gold
spunsilver
oxidate
pinkphonic (new one is purpley blue tho, much darker than pinkphonic)
divine lime

so this gives you an idea of what the colors look like.

I have Pinkphonic, and it is hardly pink. It is actually a skyblue glitter, with subtle pink and silver thrown in as well.

I hope that the Metal-X Creams are opaque and thick enough to be used as bases!! I dislike how Pixel goes on, but want a shimmery metallic base!! D:

 

[Krasevayadancer]

Hearing more about these, im not too excited anymore...

 

[komischkatze]

Great, there goes more of my money.

I think I'm going to need cyber, 6th sin, and plum electric cremes and blitzed, wonderwhite, and pewterpink glitter liners.

I imagine lime dandy will be similar enough to divine lime that I won't need it.

Sigh. Come on new job with bigger pay!

Is this only going to be released at the freestanding MAC stores and not counters,such as Macy's?

Me either. I wouldn't use it on my face and it's not crease resistant, so I'll pass. I am so happy I can save my money. Whoo hooo! Although, I am glad others are excited.

It may not be crease resistant on its own, but I wonder if it would avoid creasing if you put it on top of a light layer of paint, shadestick or paint pot?

I will be picking up a few anyway. I would love to try them and the colours sound pretty hot.

Good point, I bet you could use it over a UDPP. I don't see a highly metallic eye being anything I would want to do, but it could be really dramatic and nice for those more into metallic eye looks.

 

[shadowaddict]

How do you think these would do as liners?

 

[ledonatella]

I personally cannot wait for these as I am obsessed with cream shadows right now, I wonder how it would compare to Laura Mercier's Metallic eyes one, that's my current HG.

 

[allan_willb]

ouuu these sound like fun

 

[lipshock]

Played with these at Update ... they are very, very pretty in person. Kind of crunchy in texture, my Trainer and the other MAs found them a little hard to work with. They dry down very fast, so you have to work quick.

 

[Risser]

I pre-ordered metal-x cream shadow in Pure Ore, Pink Ingot, 6th Sin and glitter linear in Blitzed!!

 

[Glassdoll]

I can't wait to see how this actually looks on skin.

 

[BloodMittens]

Okay. Damn, now I want a few of these. Maybe the Royal Blue one there and the Green & Blue Glitter Liner (I love glitterliners)

 

[MelodyKat]

I got to play with them at update. I'm diggin them . They have flexible waxes to allow them to move. They ARE NOT crease resistant. but they are thicker than ccb's so they wore pretty well.

 

[starangel2383]

Risser,

do you have anymore pictures of the metal eye creams because those pictures have me drooling and i was wondering if there were anymore available to view?
