wearing the new Giorgio Armani fall 2014 fade to Grey Eyeshadow Palette, $88 (!)
Words one does not expect to hear at a Giorgio Armani appeal counter: “Where’s, like, the dollar menu?”
Because everything is pricey! — like this new $88 eye palette from Giorgio Armani’s fade to Grey fall 2014 collection.

That’s a lot of glow, yo.
The sleek, elegant black packaging houses two absolutely stunning eye luminous shimmer shadows, side by side — one, a warm, shimmery golden peach, and the other a purply taupe-ish grey.
On lids, these shadows are like Buzz Lightyear, reflecting light to infinity and beyond. The incredibly shiny finish makes my eyes look BIG, doe-eyed and bright, and the effect is even a lot more pronounced when I incorporate a dramatic mascara, like Armani’s new Black Ecstasy, which I’m wearing here.
With a MAC Lipglass for scale
I’m also wearing Giorgio Armani Cheek fabric in Daybreak on my cheeks and NARS velvet Lip Pencil in Anse Soleil on my lips
When I’m wearing these shadows, because of how shiny and shimmery they are, I feel like I must also wear something matte to balance things out, add depth and keep things interesting. For these pics, that’s a matte warm brown, which I’m wearing in my crease.

Without that matte, I dunno… I just feel like the shimmer is a little much, you know?
