Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Silk Eye Shadow #28.





a few weeks ago i made my order for the new Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Silk Eye Shadows from the Acqua Collection for summer 2012. i went for #27 and #28, and today it's about the latter.
i ordered on douglas.de (only the shades #27 and #29 are still available on there, GA always sells out quickly -.-) and as always, frau-shopping.de was overly helpful to grab some great GWPs.
these contain 4g each and cost ~30€/32$.




packaging is as always, a glass pot with the plastic stopper inside that should prevent the loosely pressed eyeshadow to crumble up. i haven't experienced any of these ETK eyeshadows drying out or crumbling up yet.


GA ETK #28 swatched heavily and sheered out


shade #28 is a mix of golden bronze and reddish purple crumbles, the result is an exciting and complex bronze with gold and crystal microglitter flecks and pink shimmer.
the result is very sparkly and dimensional, it has a medium pigmentation but is easily buildable to an opaque intensity. it blends beautifully and doesn't cause fall outs, the microglitter particles adhere well on the lids once pressed on.
i am totally in love with this shade at the moment, it's perfect to wear on it's own and since it's a neutral with lots of dramatic sparklelicious going on, it's both great for day and night time. not only does this have an amazing staying power (lasts 12h+ even without primer), but it even looks better and better as the time goes by! after a few hours, the eyeshadow starts to merge with my natural oils or so and the finish becomes reflective, metallic and almost gloss-like (but without the creasing). together with the complex pinky bronze mix of colour - super pretty.

  1. Very flattering colours for you! I'd love to know what lipstick or gloss you are wearing.

    P.S. I managed not to buy any of these, though I like using a single colour for the eyes. I was never sure about the shade (brown eyes, olive-yellow skin, wearing glasses). Any suggestion? Should work at the office/daywear...

    1. thanks so much Andreea! i was wearing Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in #52 Génie on the lips.
      i think you'd be on the safe side with shade #4, especially since you're wearing glasses you can go bolder than without, definitely take a look at #1 and #3 for the evening ;)

    3. das klingt fantastisch - vllt schafft ihr es ja auch kurz nach Sa Pa ;) ich bin wohl erst wieder im frühjahr oder nächsten sommer in VN. meist schaffe ich es aber nicht so viel urlaub reinzuquetschen in den heimatbesuch wie ein normaler tourist z.b., denn man kommt ja sozusagen um die familie (bei mir schwiegermama, opa etc) zu besuchen bei gleichsam begrenztem aufenthalt.

    4. Leider geht sich sapa nicht mehr aus, obwohl wir es shr gern gesehn hätten! Inder "heimat" macht man ja eher selten sightseeing, deswegen hat mit mein freund zum geburtstag eine touristenbusfahrt durch meine heimatstadt wien geschenkt! ;)
