MAC Eyeshadow in Creme de Violet

Bold pinkish/purple hue 

If you're like me who's VERY much into lilacs, lavenders or anything from the violet family, then this shade is definitely a nice addition to your collection.

It glides smoothly and blends easily. Lasting power is ok and didn't really crease much. I use this for my middle lid and pair it with shades of pinks, plums and deep purples...the colors COMPLEMENT each other so well!

It has tiny golden shimmers

The pigment is infused with flecks of gold that gives a sparkle that is not over the top. Just subtle microglitters.

With flash

I only used Creme de Violet here

In certain lighting the glitters become visible

 

I would highly recommend using an eye PRIMER prior to this one to make the color really standout. Eventhough the shadow is ok worn alone, I noticed that the violet doesn't really stay true. It applies quite sheerly so I had to layer it over several times. But it's no biggie anyway!
 

Color is  FUN  to play around with!

Although the color is very pretty, don't expect to achieve the exact same shade from the pan. Color payoff varies depending on your skintone. Some might show up looking as if they have bruised eyes whilst some may end up with a VERY flattering eyeshadow. So better test it out first before purchasing it. Personally, I really like this shade:-) 

Will definitely repurchase!

Thanks for spending some time here ladies. I really enjoy sharing and posting stuffs for you guys. Cheers! :-)
