Well, these are all the wow! I remember MAC did something similar (for three times the price) and was pretty wowed by those, too. The light catching ripple effect relies on magnets in the base that pull the particles into that pattern. I did sacrifice one of these to see what lies beneath the product, but it’s componentary that doesn’t easily come apart and it’s a flat base under the product with the magnets presumably underneath that.
Because of the base magnets, most of the product is packaging – you have quite a thin layer of actual powder on the top. Not that it matters – a little goes a very long way with these. Some of the shades are shifty meaning that they have a dual colour aspect.
There are six shades in the collection which I’ve split into two lots of three below.
In this picture, it’s Brown, Black and Burgundy.
In this picture, it’s Gold, Copper and Green.
You can see the shade shifts going on… from bottom to top: Burgundy, Black, Brown, Gold, Copper and Green. The swatches came out more softly than the shades look in the pots but they’re still impactful – also… it’s quite fun to do this with the flat of your finger tip:
You can also tip the pots completely upside down and the magnetized powder stays in – I promise! There’s so much you can do with this technology – hearts for Valentine’s shadows or blush, sunshine for bronzers, stars for Christmas. The Revolutions Magnetize Eyeshadows are £5 each HERE. You’re getting more than a fiver’s worth of entertainment in my view!

These look so cool. I want to play with them all! The black shade has some really intense silver going through it from the looks of your swatch and I like that a lot.
It’s hard to get excited about a black eyeshadow, but the shimmer in this one makes it interesting. It actually reminds me of a Chanel moussey eyeshadow that I have to google now…
Illusion D’ombre! In Mirifique that has long dried up but I can’t part with it because it was this beautiful shimmer strewn black.
I love a black eye shadow – I’m sure Urban Decay does a flecky one – or at least, used to.
Does this mean that there’s lots of metal in the shadow? And if so, is that maybe even a normal ingredient in usual shadows? I had never thought about the ingredients of shadow before tbh.
The gold and copper are simply devine!
I think they magnetize the metallic particles but I have no idea how that’s done!
Oh woah these look amazing!
Those look amazing! I love revolution, such good value for money.
However, they’re not the most standard colours. As in it would not really be something for everyday use.
Have you got any recommendations regarding glittery all-day eyeshadow?
I always use an eyeshadow from the Netherlands but I’m ready for a change 😉
I have one of the MAC ones. So much fun to play with. I love how they go back to that ripple pattern even after you’ve poked them about.
