Silk Naturals

Oxana, thanks for the great swatches! They are always helpful.

All of the shadows look amazing, but taupes look horrible on me. Cameo, Exposed, Goddess, Sepia, and Grainy look like great neutral-warm colors.

Shutter, Reflect, and Infinity look right up my alley too. I had never paid much attention to Engage or Beguile before, but now I am taking a second look at those too! Does Beguile have a sort of raspberry/brownish undertone to it? The picture (or maybe the computer I am using) makes it look like it has a reddish-brown base with a pink shimmer overlay. Either way, very pretty!

Glad they are helpful!
I don't think there is brown in Beguile, there may be a tiny bit of red, but it's a cool red, because usually reds look bad on me, so there is not enough red in this to make it unwearable for me. I think it looks that way next to Fast since Fast is sort of milky, so that makes Beguile looks deeper, but on it's own I would say it is a cool deep pink.

Got the new gumball and doing some swatching, the second gumball shadow Whim is more brown and a little warmer as well than the Curious one that was the first gumball. It goes on smoother, because it has less shimmer, it is also more pigmented and applies more opaque. It has a smoother finish and shine if that makes any sense, I think this is just because it is is more metallic, whereas the first one was more shimmery. There is still some shimmer in Whim but much less and finer.
I loved the original gumball cream shadow, but I love this one even more. Still have to wear it to see if it lasts as long. The color doesn't work as well for me as it is darker than a typical all over lid color I would wear, but everything else is great.
Here are swatches. Curious(original) is the lighter color that is on the left, and Whim the new gumball is on the right.

gosh, whim looks like it's right down my alley i can't wait for my order to arrive!! thanks oxana for swatching them side by side!!

Thank you for the lovely swatches !

Auughhhh, I must have taken Sunnyville and Roxbury out of my cart and put them back in a million times before ultimately removing them... looks like it's back into the cart they go!!

These are gorgeous swatches! The quality of a swatch really helps me decide if a product is something I want to try out, and yours are really lovely!

Wonderful swatches as usual! Thank you Oxana! Ahhh, I'm so excited - my order should come tomorrow!!

Sunnyville is so beautiful, definitely a perfect one color wash for spring / summer. Oxana thanks for the swatches, I checked out your blog as well such pretty colors! I am anxiously awaiting my package should be here tues or wed I ordered 3 of the new glosses and some other goodies.

Did some more swatches of all the cream shadows, this time blended out. I applied only one layer, made a dot on my arm with applicator wand and blended with finger. I think these give a better idea of how it would look blended out on the eyes, of course you could build them up too by doing more than one layer.
