Dupe Alert: Affordable Dupes to the Kat Von D Metal Crush Eyeshadows! ( Thrasher & Raw Power!)

Great Formulas!

Today's post is really exciting because I found an affordable alternative to the Kat Von D Metal Crush Eyeshadows! :-) I have a review on the Metal Crush Eyeshadows so if you want to know more about them click here! They are an amazingly pigmented gorgeous metallic shadow but they are $21 each which can get expensive really quick. Even though they are worth it (in my opinion) I was so excited to find something very similar at a drugstore price to share with you!

I recently reviewed the NEW City Color Cosmetics Shimmer Shadows and noticed that they were really similar to the Metal Crush Eyeshadows. If you want to check out that review click here! The Shimmer Shadows are only $6.99 each and there's tons more colors to choose from. They are slightly different in formula; the Metal Crush Shadows are creamy but not a cream to powder hybrid like the Shimmer Shadows. On the eyes they're both stunning and stay on all day!

The Metal Crush Shadow formula is on the drier side compared to the Shimmer Shadows. But like I said... twinning on the lids! haha. I wanted to find some shades to compare, the colors are not spot on but just so you can get an idea of what they look like! :-)

There's minimal fall out with both formulas and they blend so easily. Another thing to point out is that you get a little more product with City Color Cosmetics. 

I love both formulas! On the eyes you can't tell a difference. If you love metallic shadows as much as I do either one would be great. If you're looking for more options for your money I highly recommend the City Color Cosmetics Shimmer Shadows! :-)

Review: Kat Von D Metal Crush Eyeshadows! ( Synergy & Raw Power!)

New Obsession!

I prefer my shadows in palettes because you get more bang for your buck....but these Kat Von D Metal Crush Eyeshadows are worth every penny! :-) My obsession is quickly multiplying so stay tuned for an upcoming post on some more shades I hauled haha. Today I'll be sharing my thoughts on Synergy and Raw Power so let's get into it!

The Metal Crush line released fairly recently and there's a total of 10 shades on Sephora's website. They're pretty much a highly pigmented metallic shadow which is right up my alley. They are so saturated in color that the tiniest bit goes a long way. The shadow pan is larger than most shadows which I truly appreciate as well!

Synergy and Raw Power were the shades that spoke to me immediately. How gorgeous are these shades?! They feel so smooth and there's very minimal fall out when applying them. They can be used wet or dry which is cool too!

 Here's a close up of the shades. Let's get into the swatches (the best part!).

*jumping up and down* Yes. This is how they swatch! They are gorgeous! They go on so smooth and they blend so easily. I really don't have anything negative to say about these. Maybe the price... because I want them all but I would be poor afterwards haha.

Here's a quick look I came up with when I first got them. This is them while dry. stay tuned to see the other shades I hauled worn wet (so intense!). 

Bottom line: Obsessed... I'm just obsessed with these! I'm infatuated with these shades because I'm a warm-toned lover but I also love that the line has a nice mix of colors so I can step out of my comfort zone. These are similar to a pressed pigment with how much color payoff you get but without the mess. What more can you ask for? :-)
