Isn't the overspray on these so cool? I love when MAC puts out their bigger shadows, and I love when they put a design on top, regardless of how short lived the design will be.
The MAC Jeanius Eyeshadows have .10 oz of product, making them double the size of MAC's regular eyeshadows, for five dollars more. The colors, are of course, built around the colors of denim blue jeans. The jeans stamp across the surface is, of course, only on the surface. As soon as you start using it, the stamp will go away.
Stovepipe Black and Motorhead are very smooth and easy to blend. White Jeanius is a bit less so, but still awesome. Blending took a bit extra effort with it, but nothing that would really inconvenience me. I didn't experience any fading, fallout or other problems with these colors.
Though I'm not reviewing Diva in Distress, I'll just throw in that while I was swatching it at the counter, I found it lacked pigmentation and the shimmer was piecy. I didn't like it, so I didn't buy it.
On to the colors:
White Jeanius is a frosty white. It's silvery and snowy, but more difficult to blend than the other colors (which blend like a dream). The color is also less pigmented. I only ran my finger down my inner arm twice for the other two colors, but four times for this one.
Motorhead is a dirty, denim-y blue with a sheen and some copper pearl to it.
Stovepipe Black is either soft black with copper to it or very dark grey with copper to it. I'm leaning toward the first. If you're into dark shadows, you should definitely try this out, it's really interesting!
The Good:
These are currently available at MAC counters, stores and MAC's website for $19.50.
