Darling Girl Cosmetics: Miscellaneous Eyeshadow Swatches

Today I have a few Darling Girl Cosmetics eyeshadows to swatch for you, two Diamond Dusts, one of their Rainbow Brite colors, one from their Not an 80s Band collection, and one from their Spring Social Collection. I always seem to swatch a few of their eyeshadows here and there so it's honestly a little difficult coming up with a witty title for the set. 



After You've Gone: "The hazy blue-gray smoke of a freshly discharged gun, shot through with silver and white flashes of sparkle" This is from her "Not an 80s Band Collection". The description is pretty spot on though I think it isn't as blue.

Limelight: "Bright chartreuse with pink sheen and sparkle" This is one of the diamond dusts and I think the pink sheen and sparkle benefits from the use of a glitter fixative (like Darling Girl's Glitter Glue or Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy). The base color is SO pretty though and the combination of the bright green with pink is different but works so well together.

Lucky: "Pale white with turquoise iridescence in the jar, but when swatched a beautiful green flash is seen along with blue, green, and red/pink sparkles" 

I tried to capture Lucky's pretty duochrome but my camera was not having it so I suggest you pop on over to Beauty's Bad Habit where her swatch blows mine out of the water. The duochrome in Lucky is so strong, the turquoise shift is just as apparent when not over a black base. If you're curious as to how it compares to Sugarpill's Lumi, Lumi is a little smoother and more of a straight turquoise duochrome whereas Lucky has some smatterings of other sparkles and the turquoise duochrome is slightly greener than Lumi.

Socialite: "Rich royal blue with strong turquoise flash". This is a super bright blue with a turquoise duochrome. At first, I thought this might be similar to Sugarpill Cosmetics Royal Sugar but it's not since Royal Sugar has a much darker base and has a turquoise sparkle whereas Socialite has a duochrome that lightens up the base in appearance and is really evident around the edges of the eyeshadow. This did feel a little drier compared to the other eyeshadows.

Totally Teal: "An almost matte teal base with red/pink 'diamond dust' glitter" The best for last. This was easily my favorite eyeshadow from the set. The listing color and the swatch is spot on. I wish the camera picked up the pink diamond dust glitter better but I really don't mind the base color by itself. The diamond dust glitter isn't like a duochrome the way it is for some of the other diamond dusts, just a very pretty sparkle that makes it more than a teal.

Darling Girl just released their Halloween collections so are you guys thinking about picking anything up? I really had my eyes on some of the Zombie Apocolips but I gotta hold off buying it myself and maybe asking for them at Christmas.
