Out of pure curiosity, I picked up these Avon Cool Bliss Eyeshadow among other things during a super sale. I think Avon makes nice blushes but crappy eye shadows, and out of the several I've tried, only one, the Avon 8-in-1 Palette, intrigued me enough to write a review for a few years ago and even then, it wasn't a good review. The rest I didn't even bother with.
So I've got to give these Cool Bliss Eyeshadows some brownie points for reviving my interest after such a long time. I'm not sure if there were other colors available, but there was only 2 when I made my purchase, N01 Pebble Stone and N701 Sparkling Plum. I bought both.

My first thought upon opening these up is that they look very dry, perhaps because they are old stock. Or more obviously, like all other cream eye shadows they are (stupidly) packaged in a jar with a twist cap that isn't exactly air tight, and even left alone without opening they would eventually dry up. Thankfully, they haven't been rendered useless and still work okay with decent color pay off when swatched. I haven't actually used them yet, only played with them a bit and swatched for pictures so far.
- N01 Pebble Stone: looks like a pearly off white white but in fact has a pinky iridescent sheen and a greenish tint when looked at from an angle.
