Manufacturer: Concrete Minerals
Availability: beginning winter 2011 through the webstore
Contains: 3 stacks each containing 7 eyeshadows
Cost/Amount: USD$4939.99 per stack
Would you purchase again: yes - at the lowered price, and if I didn't already own all but three of the colors

Three sets, all with seven pre-existing CM colors, so if you already have a large-ish CM collection, these might not be such a great deal. However, if you’re looking to make a gift to someone, or if someone is just getting started with CM, they can be nice. (You also don’t save any money buying these stackers, than if you bought the individual colors by themselves. About the only place you might save money is if you bought the colors over multiple orders - and would thus pay more for shipping.) NOTE: as of today, January 22 2012, this kit is on sale for $9 less. So *now* you would be saving money if you purchased these. Embarrassingly enough, there are only three colors out of the 21 listed below, that I don’t already own. (There are a few that I own, but haven’t swatched as of January 2012.)

There are three stacks:

Blackest Black

Black Metal — silvered black sparkle
Ether — dark pewter sparkle
Kinky — deep midnight-blue shimmer
Nocturne — dark cool forest-green shimmer
Sabotage — black with pink sparkle
Seance — medium-deep violet shimmer
Souljourner — medium-deep lapis blue shimmer

Rainbow Bright

Bang-Up — bright cerulean shimmer
Brat — medium-deep hot pink shimmer
Hearts — deep dark red shimmer
Juvenile — neon yellow shimmer
Napalm — medium-dark pumpkin shimmer
Unity — bright indigo-purple with gold sparkle
Zealous — medium aqua-blue shimmer

Nudie-Pie

Blitzkrieg — bronzed brown shimmer
Deviant — cool medium-deep brown shimmer
Doe-Eyed — blackened brown pearl
Lolita — metallic silvered taupe shimmer
Revolver — metallic chocolate brown shimmer
Smut — dusty bronzed purple shimmer
Troublemaker — medium-light gilded brown shimmer

In case you've been following Concrete Minerals for some time, and are wondering if you're going insane...yes, there used to be a six-piece set called Nudie Pie. I don't know exactly when this collection was removed from the shop, but I'm betting it was removed because these stackers were to be released, and CM wanted to re-use the name and slightly reconfigure the set. There also used to be a six-piece Peacock collection - Vegas, Juvenile, Bang-Up, Zealous, Unity, Brat - which was apparently replaced by the Rainbow Brite stack. The Peacock collection was in the shop as recently as December 8, 2011. (Google Cache is my buddy!)
