So I’m basically in love with these new Kat Von D Metal Crush Eyeshadows. I’m giving serious thought to buying all ten, even though that would be expensive and take up a lot of room. They’re just that awesome!
So far I have these two colors. Iggy, the greenest green there ever was, and Synergy, a really rich bronze. Both are really smooth, beautiful, and hyper-pigmented. They provide an intense metallic effect on the skin that matches what they display in the pan. I’ve only worn Iggy so far, but it held up well to an evening of goofing off in the New Mexico desert. Look at how obscenely green it is.
These are intense enough that even if you don’t normally use a primer, I’d suggest putting down some sort of base layer to prevent your eye lids from staining.
On a weird side note, the flavor text on Sephora says there are 11 shades, but there have only been 10 available on the website. So what is the mysterious 11th shade? Will it be released later, maybe for the holidays? Or is it a typo?
As a bonus, please enjoy this video swatch that I took after first finding these shadows at my local Sephora. They didn’t have Iggy in stock, so I swatched Synergy, Raw Power and Danzig.

Pretty! What size are the pans? If they are bigger than a standard MAC shadow, I won’t be able to depot them into my palette and I will be saved from my impulses.
