The Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Intense Silk Eyeshadows are some of my favourite products and the one I find hardest to write a review on. For some reason, every time I try to, I fail or I just can’t find the words. Well I’ve had quite a few queries on these by now, so I thought its time I seized the bull by the horns, as it were, and tackle these glorious little pots of eyeshadows.
When I started out a year back, I had 2. Since then, its grown to 9 shades which I’ve picked up over time. We do not get Giorgio Armani Beauty here in Malaysia as of now (they pulled out a few years back) so getting these have been an expensive affair involving dependancy on online swatches (thank God for beauty blogs!), willingness of friends to pick them up for me when they travel, travelling, and online shopping! 🙂 For readers in Singapore (or those going to Singapore), rejoice! for GA is now available in DFS Galleria at Scotts Road.
The GA ETK as these are affectionately known, look like potted cream shadows but are in fact, powder shadows. It is rather like a hybrid between loose pigments and cream shadow where they have the strong, intense pigment of loose pigments, but apply like a cream and set like powder to last you pretty much all day long. Yes, they do last all day for me but do note that I have little trouble with creasing and fading in general. If you wear these over a base or apply them wet, the colour is much more intense. Worn on their own, it can be applied subtle or intense – your call 🙂 Here are the colours I have and some general thoughts on whether they are worth the hype (yes!) and the price (ouch, but YES!)
