TKB Trading’s Shimmer Apple Pop

TKB's replacement for Green Apple. The Shimmer Pop collection of colors was sold as “ready-to-wear” eyeshadow, where the original Pops were straight mica. This means that it contains ingredients to help with application and adhesion. Still, I get better results with this and with the other Shimmer Pops when I use a base and a sealant.

A montage of three images: top left, close-up of the eyeshadow in the pot; top right, the eyeshadow mixed with water and applied to bare skin; bottom left, the eyeshadow applied dry over primer.
This color is a tiny bit brighter than the "original" Green Apple; and there's a bit of gold shimmer as well. I like this color just a little bit more than Green Apple, because of these little differences. Still, it's extremely close to Green Apple, so if you're looking for a replacement for that mica...you now have one.
