City Color Shimmer Shadows are my holy grail single eyeshadow...they're just perfection in a compact. They're rich, buttery and insanely pigmented with almost no fallout to speak of, leaving even higher-end formulas in the dust. At $6.99 each, they're super affordable and yet they could be a $21
Kat Von D Metal Crush eyeshadow and you would never know the difference.
So I was really excited when I heard that City Color was releasing 8 new shades this summer, and even
more excited when I found out I was getting them ahead of the June 1st launch to give you guys a sneak peek!
I'm not going to do a full review on these today since I already did that back in August (
click here to read all about it)...I mainly just want to swatch the new shades for you, and man are they
stunning. They're like the perfect eye popping summer colors with cute names to match...just wait until you see them. Okay, I'll shut up now- enjoy!

What do you guys think? Are you loving the new shades? Are you already a fan of the Shimmer Shadows, or have you not tried them yet? (If you haven't you're totally missing out!).

How gorgeous! They kinda remind me of Kat Von D Beauty's single eye shadows!
ReplyDeleteLove from Indonesia,

Yes, exactly! They perform like them too...they're so beautiful! :)
DeleteThank you soo much for the swatches. They do look like the Kat Von D eyeshadows. Did u use a primer or just swatch these? I have never ordered from City Color, do they have sales or decent shipping rates?
ReplyDeleteNope, this is over bare skin, NO primer...crazy right?! I didn't have to build them up either, they're just amazing. City Color has free shipping over $25 and they have 25% off sales pretty often. I also have a coupon code for 10% off (BudgetBeautyBlog) and a lot of times, you can use that on top of the sales they're having. :)
DeleteGreat colors!
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed...perfect for summer! :)
DeleteI need these in my life, OMG. So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI know right?! :)
DeleteOMG, these are gorgeous!! The last 4 on the far right have my attention....I'm just drooling ! (Katherine T.)
ReplyDeleteThose are the ones I swatched first and I was amazed...that kind of pigmentation in one swipe with no primer is just crazy! :)
DeleteCould you do some comparison swatches with their current shades? I love City Color Shimmer Shadows!
