Swatches or EOTD of new matte shadows?

I looked around a little bit, but I can't find swatches or EOTDs of the new matte colors. What's going on ladies who bought them? Show us what you got! hahah

O wow thank you very much! My search skills are failing me on this quest. I love mattes but I just don't know if I could pull these off. They are so pretty tho.

Thanks!

I think I was thinking of that when I thought there were swatches.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Lagoon might be really pretty though with some of the more neutral matte shades. It's rare to see such bright colours without tons of sparkle and fall-out. (:

Decided to try and swatch these since the sun came out. These are the first swatches/pics I've posted so hopefully I've done them right and you get a good sense of the colors! The first two are in light from the window, the third is indoors so normal natural light. These look true to color on one of my computer monitors and dull on the other, so if they look a bit dull to you, rest assured, they are actually rather bright in person!

The more pigmented swatches are with a damp brush, the lighter ones were lightly brushed on with a regular brush to show how blendable they are. I used Vanilla and Raven to help give something to compare them to.

Nice swatches superwahz! I really like the way these colors look foiled.

Thanks for the swatches superwahz. They look lovely, but actually pretty similar to colours I already have, whew!

Darn it, I had it in my head that they were too similar to colours I already have, but some of them I NEED now!
