I ordered both the Bronze Green and the Lilac Gray. I just couldn't pass these up even tho they were on the expensive side. There is a special brush that comes with each one. I feel they could of left the brush out since I was able to buff down to the second color just fine with my finger. I get why they did the brush but I don't see it as an absolute nessessity even tho a good tool is a good tool. Then they could of offered these at a more affordable cost especially given they want 'all' of us to experience this. This 'Future of Color Changing Technology' is truly amazing. I'm not using 'that' word lighty here either. As in some presentations, the shows really did nothing for these. These shadows are packing a big ole punch.

The minerals themselves actually look like the High Shine form and how the color is within them. They pat down/buff down just the same. Then everything changes... OMG! I've just spent a good time swatching and its going to be very hard to do color comparisons to these. Then I thought to try the HShines' themselves and yet still, very hard to color compare

The Bronze Green...The Bronze is not like what is usually thought of as its not brown nor has any red in it, nor is it 'gold' either. If anything it might be closest to HShine Sand Dune then HShine Gold Medal. Its very pretty and a wearable color. The Green is like nothing! I own. Its a very unique color in the sage family of colors. Thats about a close as I can get. This Bronze Green is a beautiful sharp neutral combination.

The Lilac Gray...This is really a beautiful Lilac color. HS Flash is way to light for any comparison. I thought to try Metallic Lavender from the FF kit Wild Spirit. While ML leans to the blue purples it made it apparent that Lilac is a PINK purple. The buffed down Gray is just as pretty. Its like an antiquey silver metal. I did try Sterling Silver to it and not even close. Also HShines' Frost and Pewter tried here once again brought nothing close. Another unique color. So for you purple girls out there, I'd highly reccomend this.

Both...Both are in a medium color range being not light and definately not dark. Both buff down and show undertones of their original color. And unlike in their presentations both have a distinct contrast to each other. You can definately see their two colors.

As much as I don't like to admit this {re: cost} these were definately worth getting! I'm not feeling buyers remorse here. I think so many of us are so used to getting brushes with everything in lower cost per item kits, that at least I know that I think of them more like addons, or freebies. However if Leslie doesn't bring these out into open stock {far away from the Q} at some point in time, without the brush as well, I think it would be unfortunate. They really are remarkable. I also really hope she continues on and developes more colors like this. Besides being so very pretty, they are quite frankly...FUN too!
