New from MAC comes a limited edition 16-shade shadow range called the Electric Cool Eye Shadows ($26 CAD). Featuring a frosty and creamy formulation, these shadows have a springy texture with high blendability and pigmentation. To see some swatches, click......
Packaging:
The Electric Cool Eyeshadows come in a black plastic eyeshadow compact with a twist-off lid. I guess the formulation of these made them unsuitable for the traditional flip-cap shadow compacts but the twist-off cap is definitely not as convenient as the flip-caps.
Formulation:
The Electric Cool shadows are pressed shadows with an almost spongy, creamy texture. The texture is absolutely delightful and buttery. Both shades are packed with shimmers, "In Orbit" is a golden champagne with more sparkles than pigments while "Electroplate" is a soft grey with equal amounts of pigments and silver shimmers. These apply and blend really nicely and they give a really pretty metallic sheen to the lids.

The formulation of these is superb! I love the buttery soft texture and the metallic sheen. I'm very interested in how the brighter shades from the range fare but these two neutrals are definitely worth checking out.
