Silverthorn Eyeshadow – Not similar to my other grey eyeshadows at all

Finally the sky cleared up and I could take the swatches of Silverthorn compared to my other grey eyeshadows from the comparison picture in my last post.

Word of Mouth MES
row 1: Alum, Cumulus, Knight
row 2: Swan Lake, Silverthorn, Anti-Establishment

The sheen of Silverthorn is really pretty and this eyeshadow is not similar to my other greys at all. I dare say that Silverthorn is the Solar White of grey eyeshadows. :D

Colored bases in tubes like MAC Paints

Colored bases make me weak! In my traincase I have a few cream eyeshadows from bloom (6,5 g) and NIVEA (7 ml) that remind me of MAC’s Paints. Unfortunately the NIVEA Creamy Metal Eyeshadows will be discontinued soon and the ones from bloom are hard to get here in Europe.

NIVEA Creamy Metal Eyeshadows – 01 Silver White, 03 Chromic Lilac, 04 Metallic Rose, 08 Rusty Brown, 06 Soft Gold
bloom Eye Paints – Rose, Chocolate

In direct sunlight


The texture reminds me a lot of the texture of MAC’s Paints. The smoothest of them are NIVEA’s 08 Rusty Brown and Chocolate from bloom. All of them also dry to a dry finish like the Paints.
