Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Intense Eyeshadow in Rock Sand

I've had my eye on these Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Intense Eyeshadows for a couple of months now, but I didn't want to dish out $32 for a single shade.  Well I broke down and bought just one to see if all they hype was worth the money.

Here is what Giorgio Armani's website says about their product:

HIGH VOLTAGE 24 HOUR EYES TO KILL SHADOWS

This innovative hybrid texture, which is not a powder, nor a cream acts like a smooth, lasting color film. Each shade is intensified with a second pigment for a multi-dimensional effect. In just one swoop, create a wet, shimmering smokey eye. Base color covers eyelid, and second pigment adds drama to the contour.



The technology: Color-FilTM, for the first time in an eyeshadow. A new high resistance bi-polymer enables the formula to perfectly fit the color to the eyelid with cushiony suppleness, for a never seen comfortable long wear.



Twenty four hour color wear, crease proof, flake proof, waterproof and sweat-proof, Eyes To Kill Intense Eyeshadows slide on, stay on, but wipe off in an instant. Apply wet or dry with fingers or the Armani large eye contour brush.

 Rock Sand #9

L-R: dry swatch and wet  swatch

Rock Sand is frosty champagne color.

This product is so luxurious feeling, when I first dipped my finger into the pot I felt like I was swatching velvet.  I tried using a brush but it wouldn't apply well so I used my finger and viola it was heaven.  I wore it from morning until bed time and it still looked pretty good no touch up necessary.  I'm going to have to buy some more shades and use them together to see how long they last that way and if the look lasts without the colors melting into each other since I have oily lids.  If the price is too steep for you consider splitting the cost and product with someone.  There is so much product in the pot and a little goes a long way.  It would probably take me a couple of years to finish this product. You can purchase the product at Nordstroms.
