Addiction by Ayako Flash back, Twig, Sandbar Eyeshadow mono

A couple of weeks I was crawling all over the internet, catch rare Swatch Addiction shadows, studying, comparing, trying to choose ... and hit two of three.
upd. if you read this post before, do not be surprised that something had to be supplemented and corrected.

Addiction by Ayako Flashback 030 ME, Twig 041 P, Sandbar 011P. The letters in the marking - it's texture. ME - metallic, P - pearl, and still have a M - matte, to them I have not even looked, because the mosaic Tuxedo Moon is enough.

Flashback ME 030 brown-pink-gray metallic cold. More suitable green or blue eyes, but Karim is also good.
Reviews flashback in a great variety of network and all the rave. I subscribe to delight. Shadows pigmented fine, do not crumble, does not raise dust, it is easy and shaded stretch to full transparency. From a flashback can draw a languorous, humid glazishchi.
Resistance beautiful shadows, on the basis of Artdeko hold with all its special effects well into the evening, nothing slips and does not crumble.
Metallic - and a strange code name for this texture. I would call it a liquid or oily metallic. Gloss is so complex and subtle that its language does not turn called vulgar.

Addiction by Ayako single shade Twig 041P. Colour in the box more than the green, the skin turns black and gray-green with silvery-green, very weak pearly glow. Where there I do not really understand nacre. Shadows pigmented medium, dryly, very demanding wrists. Few crumble during application. Resistance is good.
Even correctly picked the brush they are not so easy to shade and stretch. But if possible, some of these shadows can make eyes Cold Faith.

Addiction by Ayako single shade Sandbar 011P. On tanned or dark skin, this color will be a miracle as well. "To plow", highlights brown eyes. On pale yellowish skin can be as the sand of the beaches of Goa. Nacre here is not quite nacre. Rather, it is a translucent, very light, noble pearl glow over the yellow-gray sand. Shadows pigmented medium, easily stretched and shaded, not crumble in extreme conditions a little roll.
Sandbar - shade, in case it is necessary to go out after 5 minutes with a fresh face and sleepy eyes. Well, or even laziness when painted.

Although labeling and marking some texture in the shade of a completely different behavior. For the frame I'm pretty generously scooped out of boxes, and see how different they are formed (calm daylight).

And one more attempt in bright sunlight. Look how beautiful and complex Flash back, how gentle and how Sandbar mysteriously flickering Twig! But it is only in direct contact with the sun in his eyes.

And now about the strangeness. As paletka Tuxedo Moon, single shade is not very friendly with brushes. For each pattern for each color had to pick up his technique and its application brush.
For the Sandbar it was the old, barbed and brush curve avon (pony). It is quite loose, elastic, but not particularly soft.

For Twig eventually had to buy a squirrel.
Flashback normally applied to any brush, but to get it oily metallic luster have to skive.
Best of all, all three applied with your fingers.
The photo next three tests: the top coated brush Valerie - D of the ponies, medium - brush Valerie - D from the column, the bottom - with your finger. Daylight.

Worn out with Twig I tried to put it (and then it is all the rest) wet, sloping flat brush. And look what a beauty. At daylight Flash back became really metal, the Twig dense, smooth and satin, Sandbarsnova shone all available nacre (but to see it, you need a magnifying glass).

But this is probably the most informative picture on the color rendition.

Here they are the same in the bright sunlight.

The conclusion is simple.
beautiful shadows but require skill. Do not rush to get upset if some of the shadows can not be properly applied. Experiment with brushes and techniques.
Try Addiction nowhere, so watch Swatch, read reviews. If for some shade silent, then it really is not worth attention. I bought Twig looking at a single inferior Swatch, and now I will think what to do with shadows, which can be drawn only smoky eyes.
Bought in the shop ichibankao.com, he looks strange, but the service is pleasant, there is shipping by EMS, which is now flying from Japan for 5 days (2 of which parcel sorting spends in Moscow).
Boxes Addiction shadows single very primitive. It is expected of them remove shadows and put in a special case mosaic of their choice. But I do not gather up on pallets, and not the fact that I will gather. I would have to deal with the fact that I have acquired.
