Glamour Doll Eyes Swatches

I really wanted to do the Persephone swatches but I figured I'd get these out of the way since it's a much smaller collection. :)

Here is a bunch of colors I ordered from Glamour Eye Dolls. I've heard about them through Phyrra and decided to purchase when they were having a sale. I had a hard time meeting the minimum purchase amount because there weren't that many original colors that interested me. The unblended colors interested me more.

Unblended colors are basically straight mica mixed with GDE's base.

These are the lovelies:







The last 2 colors were unblended colors. They were also my favorites. Love Affair was a pretty color and I think I would've liked it more had it not been a cool pink. I don't look good with cool pinks so I tend to be all "hiss! boo!" at them. Lol.

I know a lot of people like this store but considering how many unblended colors there were and the fact that GDE's original colors didn't really appeal to me much, I think I might just pass on a return purchase. I already shop a lot at TKB (love that store) so when I purchase from indie companies, I do it to support them and to also get my hands on colors no other stores have. Summer Skies did swatch on very creamy (which means GDE's base seems to be very well-formulated).

What do you think of this store?

Persephone Minerals, Glamour Doll Eyes, Evil Shades, + Aromaleigh

Back from my weekend of less than a day with my family and then running around going to a wedding and preparing to come back to my apartment so that I could work today. I miss my mommy and daddy already. :(

I did come home to some fantastic lovelies though. These two came in on Saturday and I picked them up from my apartment concierge late Sunday night.



I heard about their specials through Phyrra and figured now was a good time to take advantage. I ordered these from Glamour Doll Eyes 10/27 and received them 10/30.



I was most excited about these eye shadows from Persephone Minerals based off of Naoko Takeushi's popular manga (and anime) series, Sailor Moon. These are the full sets (each) for Sailor Mars, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus. I'm loving Sailor Mars' collection especially. Still, they ALL look gorgeous in the little baggies, I can't imagine how they must look swatched. I am super excited. :D Shipping was also super fast. Ordered 10/27, received 10/30.



Freebies! Can I tell you how much I love being able to try out different colors than what I ordered? It's always so unexpected. :)



And what might this ominous looking baggie be?



GASPERS. It's my elusive Evil Shades order! I ordered 10/20, received my shipping notification 10/25, then received my package 11/1. I got the entire Halloween LE collection along with the very much raved about, Mythology collection. Fun times swatching ahead.

And last but not least...



My Aromaleigh order consisting of Eggnog, Mistletoe, Mulberry, Candytuft, Rule 42, Hearts A' Plenty, Frumious. I purchased so I could take part in their contest. Results were revealed here and dagnabbit! I was #6. Sadface! Congrats to #1-#4 though. :)

I am getting slammed at work this week but hopefully I'll find some time to get away and do some swatching. :D

P.S. In reference to this post here...It wasn't the blush. I think it was because of me touching my face like crazy that week. Lol.

P.P.S. That red/black Gothic backdrop for some of the photos is my awesomely awesome bedspread. I was chatting with my friend when I was opening my mail and didn't want to move to take the pictures. :D
