I'd had a hectic month, so went on a wee spending spree: got a few shadow colors, got one nail polish, picked up some shampoo...and saw this at the checkstand. Normally I don't buy pressed shadows any more; but the outside of the case caught my eye. If you're a female and were older than 10 by 1983, chances are high that you had at least a pair of earrings out of this metal-mesh stuff (and odds are 50/50 that you still have those earrings somewhere even if you haven't worn them in over 20 years.) The colors in the tester also looked interesting, especially the gorgeous Flipside and the much-talked-about Midnight Cowboy. I added that to my splurge and headed home, thinking that I might use this perhaps a dozen times in the next year.
I used Oil Slick two evenings later as an eye liner. The staying power was good, and there wasn't much transferrence to my heavy eyelids - so that was good. I put on Midnight Cowboy this afternoon, after getting out of my painting clothes - more to see what it looked like, than anything else. It's very glittery, but I like it. Flipside is a duochrome shadow - teal with a blue flash, so not *too much* duochrome, but enough of a change to be just slightly different. Oil Slick makes a nice liner shadow with a bit of glam.
And admit it. It's as much about the box as it is the shadows inside. Because we're such 80s children, it's totally awesome.
