I have wanted to make a palette of the Inglot Rainbow eyeshadows for sometime. It was so hard to decide how exactly to place them in the palette.

I know this is an older release but it’s new to me! I like the colors in this quad but they are a tad chalky. Enjoy!

Recently I picked up the Wet n Wild I ❤ Matte palette which is a Walgreens exclusive limited edition palette. It contains 8 matte eyeshadows and runs $2.99 in the US.

The packaging. I appreciate that it’s sealed but by 3 stickers? Really? It was difficult to open! Haha

All of the colors except the purple are super pigmented. The purple leaves a lot to be desired and I had to really work to build it up for the swatch. The quality of these shadows is amazing especially considering the price! This was the last one my local Walgreens had so if you find this I highly suggest picking it up.


This is my last part of my Darling Girl Cosmetics haul. This is a review pack that is available for purchase on their site for a discounted price for bloggers and you tubers. You get to pick 5 product samples. I really like that you get to pick the colors because you know it’s something you like and can use. Enjoy!

I’m so happy with my review pack and I’m pretty sure I will be purchasing full sizes. If you haven’t checked out DGC yet then you certainly should! Their shop is offline until the new year so that all orders could be filled but you are still able to browse all the offerings.

What’s your favorite item from my review pack?


This is part 2 of my Darling Girl Cosmetics haul/swatches/review. In the shadow swatches the top swatch is dry no primer and bottom is over NYX Black Bean. Enjoy!

Overall I am extremely pleased with my purchase. All of these go on smoothly, blend easily, and are not gritty at all. I am super excited about using these as highlight shades because I think they will be more interesting than the usual highlighter shades.

Which are your favorites?


This is part 1 of at least a 3 part post. I don’t want to do it all in one post cause it would be super long and picture heavy.

I recently placed an order at Darling Girl Cosmetics after seeing swatches and reading reviews from Mandy. I placed the order on November 18th and received it on December 3rd. They are very upfront about their processing time and you can always find updates on their blog and twitter. Part 2 of this series will be swatches and review of the Rainbow Brite collection and part 3 will be swatches and reviews of the review pack I received. Here’s what I received along with swatches of 2 samples and a gwp that were included!

This was written on the outside of the mailer that my order shipped in. Such an awesome added touch! I’m a sucker for stuff like this!

20111204-161050.jpg
Zebra print and lime green?! Delicious!

20111204-161155.jpg
Again, love added touches!

20111204-161731.jpg
The 2 extra samples and gwp (gift with purchase) were in this adorable little bag.

Mustang eye shadow. This shade is not available on the site so no official description. It seems like a medium taupe. It is very soft and blends well but I usually wear brighter colors.

Persuasion eyeshadow. I do not have an official description for this one but it is a very glittery light purple. I love this shade!
