Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Shadow Creme in Silver Leaf

Silver Leaf is one of my first cream shadows from Estee Lauder, something that I have in my stash for more than a year. I just checked the EL website and I could not find the shade anymore. So, I'm guessing this is LE, not available online or it has been discontinued(I hope not). But, I just thought I'll put up a swatch, since, I love it so much especially all over my lids with a darker color in the crease.
  

This is a very unique shade with a mix of silver, purple and a good amount of multicolored shimmer. It is quite easy to go overboard, looking frosty especially for medium-dark skin tones. But, when blended well or layered over another shade, this one looks absolutely gorgeous. These eye shadows are almost similar to MAC paint pots in the texture and staying power. Sometimes, I even think they are the same since they are both from Estee Lauder :-) But yeah, whatever it is, the formula is smooth and super easy to blend. Also, compared to MAC paint pots, these have a wider range of shades and look classier in packaging which is probably why there is a dollar difference in the price($17.50).
I highly recommend you check it out if you can get hold of this shade. It's a lovely shade to have especially, if smokey eyes are your thing since it pairs well with quite a few darker colors.
