Silk Naturals

I got mine today too! I posted swatches in the swatch thread comparing it to the first gumball eyeshadow.

I like it a lot, the texture is even smoother and creamier. Would love some lighter color without shimmer, still pearly or metallic, just no larger shimmer particles. That would be my ideal cream shadow, in colors like a pale nude, pale golden/yellow, baby pink. I look best when the color I wear all over my lid is my skin color or lighter, then I can wear darker colors in the crease. So that's why I request some lighter colors
Also, this new version is more pigmented and goes on more opaque, really an excellent formula. Will report on how it wears once I can test it for a whole day.

I am loving the new shadow! The consistency is great, and it went on very easily. I haven't specifically checked how it has been wearing today, but the few times I was in the bathroom at work I didn't notice it obviously creasing.

The color is beautiful, too!

The cream shadow gumball sounds wonderful. I missed out on it, but would love to see it come back. Based on everybody's descriptions, I think I would like it!

MBlovesSN, I opened mine up and just swiped it on the back of my hand and it's not something that I think I will wear. If you would like it, PM me your address and I will be happy to send it to you.

Oh, that cream eyeshadow gumball looks so pretty I got the first one (Curious) and really liked it although it was a little more shimmery than I usually wear. I missed out on Whim sadly but I'm really interested in what Karen comes up with as I have sensitive eyes so usually prefer cream shadows (less risk of fallout from powder to irritate my eyes). I love any taupe shades as always, but I also second the clear cream idea if feasible, as I'd love to be able to mix Lurid and Idolize into cream shadows

I got all the gumballs, I haven't had a chance to test most of them yet (the baby stuff will be tested in 8 weeks when I have a real live baby to test it on But it all looks great. I have the cream shadow on right now, but I just kind of swiped it on over what I was already wearing, so I can't tell what it would be like worn on its own. I like the texture though, it feels like it wouldn't crease, if you know what I mean
I might try out the baby wash on my other 2 kids, my oldest has pretty sensitive skin, so if it doesn't make her itch that would be a really good sign.

Die Marchen I feel so honored! I can't believe your LO is already that old...to you, and Packgal, and the other Mom's on here. It does go by so fast! They say it, but when you have your own it just unbelievable.

It's good to hear that you're liking the cream shadows. We sold quite a few of the gumballs...how are they holding up? I've been playing with them since before Christmas- and have built and rebuilt the recipe a hundred times over. There isn't anything that I could really change to improve them at this point.

But what is important is that I describe it accurately, and make sure people get the right product for them, and help them use it in a way that works best.

SO, good, bad or indifferent- let me know!

Karen,
For me, the shadow could have been described as golden metallic with sparkle. If it was applied with a brush, it was a very golden color for me and it could have been the metalic/sparkle that made it so golden? When I applied with my finger and sheered it out, I could see a bit more of the base color. It was a bit strange because my finger seemed to show more of a pearlized taupe, like Oxana's swatch. It's holding up great and I can't imagine it could be improved on. I just hope it can translate to other colors with not so much bling for those of us who are showing their age just a little A nice neutral taupe along the lines of taupetastic maybe?

Yep, and before you know it, you have a six foot tall high school junior with a driver's license!

Same here! They are beautiful!

I have really been enjoying the new gumball version. It goes on so easily and wears really well. I can't wait to get more colors!
