Giorgio Armani 'Eyes to Kill' High Voltage 24-Hour Eyeshadow ($32.00)
The Eyes To Kill eyeshadows are great if you haven't already tried them. I reviewed another Giorgio Armani 'Eyes To Kill' eyeshadow HERE. The colors are richly pigmented, they work both wet and dry, and like I said earlier they last all day. The texture is not like any other eye shadows I have, the Eyes To Kill shadows are both cream and powder, the shadows are smooth to the touch and even though they can be a little chunky they still apply smoothly and lay flat on the lids. For some reason I got the idea in my head that #10 Airy Jade was going to be a Tiffany Blue color or a least a pretty blue/green color. I was surprised the first time I used #10; the color was actually frosted blue with silver. I'm not crazy about the color, it's pretty but not for me. I don't think it's something I need in my collection, I look better in warm colors.
#10 Airy Jade was a little different than my other GA Eyes To Kill. I noticed quickly that I had to layer more of the shadow to get the right consistency which I didn't have to with my other ETK shadows. The color didn't look as vibrant and I had to apply more layers which was weird because my other ETK lay perfectly on the first application from a brush. Since I was having difficulty using this particular color dry I decided to try using the shadow wet. I sprayed my brush with MAC Fix+ and tried this method on my opposite eye. I had the same difficulty and ended up going over both eyes again with the shadow dry.
Overall, I love my Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill eyeshadows but #10 Airy Jade gave me just a little too much grief. It wasn't blue/green and the application process left me annoyed. I'll stick with my other colors for now.
Please excuse the red eyes, I have been sick the last few days.

Aww, it's too bad that this one doesn't perform as well as the other shades - it looks just lovely on you! :)
This color is STUNNING!
I prefer warm colours too, but this still looks beautiful on you :) Application is make or break for me though, I might check out the other shades.
@Rae, thank you! Yes all my other GA eyeshadows work great, this one was questionable. Is it possible I just got one from a bad batch?
@Tammy, thank you!
@Ishah @ Beauty Mamas, Check out the other shades, GA eyes to kill are totally worth owning. Just sad this particular color seemed to come from a bad batch.
I have #8 and love it! I want to get another one-which one is your must have?
Oh my goodness that looks so gorgeous in the pan!!
Everyone is talking about these Armani items they look INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! amazing swatches and i love seeing ur fotd!!! Ur B40 in Chanel Aqua? How are u liking it?
@Tracy Beauty Reflections, #8 is my favorite too! I also like #9 and #15, #15 is a beautiful gold color.
@Lilladylife, Yes I was color matched to B40, I think it's a little dark. I'm not sure I'm still testing it but so far I'm liking the foundation.
I simply just love the name of the eyeshadow line... "Eyes to Kill"... it's so intense, I love it.
I really like this colour! too bad this product is so expensive I can't think of giving it a try ;___; I'm in love with the texture and the purple shade...
Diane - I love the pairing with the MAC shade. Spectacle Of Yourself looks so dark in the pan, but the way you sheered it out is perfect. Well played!
I've heard so many raves about the Eyes to Kill! This shade looks really pretty even though it's not as good the other color!
What if you smeared a ton of it and layered the color heavily? I saw it worn on a You Tube and it looked a lot more pigmented than the pale silvery blue which I wouldn't like either.
The You Tube Lady (donnashorts1) looked amazing in it. I too, like warmer colors, but I'm looking for something different than I normally wear.
Your thoughts? Thanks!!
