There are 12 eyeshadows in this collection, which is awesome in and of itself. Be still, my heart! I truly adore holiday collections from indie companies, and DGC always seems to have extensive and beautiful holiday collections.
On with the swatches! Since there were 12 colors, I swatched them in two groups of 6. All of these colors were swatched over Darling Girl Cosmetics Glitter Glue on clean skin. :)
As you can see, the colors in this collection are incredibly beautiful! My favorites so far are Tapestry of Obscenities, Red Ryder, The Flagpole Incident, Electric Sex, and Pink Nightmare.
Pertinant Information:
I just wanted to post a couple things about Darling Girl Cosmetics for your guys' convienence. DGC will be closed from around December 10th to the new year. That being said, if you want to purchase any of these colors with the cute Christmas Story logo on them, you'll need to do so before December 10th. After December, the collection will still be available, but it will have the original DGC packaging. I know the packaging isn't a big deal to everyone, but I just wanted to throw it out there because I read it on the website. :)
The DGC eyeshadows come in full and petit sizes. Full sizes contain 3/4 tsp of product in a 5 gram jar, while petit sizes contain 1/4 tsp in a 3 gram jar. Both sizes have the Christmas Story packaging for this collection (as long as you grab it in December). You can also purchase the full and petit sets for this collection. I purchased the petit set for $27.00, though it was originally $30.00. The full sized set is $70.80, and $63.72 while it's on sale. I checked earlier this morning, and both sets were still on sale.
Everything I swatched and discussed today can be viewed and/or purchased at www.darlinggirlcosmetics.com
I hope you guys are staying warm and having a wonderful week!
Great swatches! I like the Christmas tree in the background!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! That means a lot to me :) I thought it would be fun to have my Christmas tree in the background. Though, if you saw the whole tree, you'd probably laugh at me. It's like Charlie Brown's sorry little tree. And one of the rows of lights won't work, haha!
DeletePink Nightmare and Tapestry of Obscenities look gorgeous in your swatches! Plus the special Christmas packaging is really cute:) I kind of really want to get them now but I've been buying too many Christmas presents lately so I can't haha
ReplyDeleteThanks hun! I've been wearing Tapestry of Obscentities as a neutral look lately, and it's so pretty with all the sparkles! And I know exactly what you mean, I've been buying stuff like a madwoman as gifts and just because there's so many cute Christmas stuff out, especially with indie companies! Did you get any of the holiday scents from Solstice Scents? I ordered Snoeshow Pass perfume on Saturday because I really wanted a Christmasy perfume. Plus, I love a lot of their scents, and their TAT is super quick! :)
DeleteNope, my brother bought me Manor and the Manor collection samples as a Christmas present so I'm waiting to try those first at Christmas before buying from Solstice Scents again :)! Their Winter collection is really tempting though..Snowshoe Pass sounds lovely from the description! That and Sugarvale are seriously making me want to just go and buy everything. And yeah, I love that they ship really fast..not like OHWTO haha.
DeleteOh yeah! I think you did tell me that. Please forgive me, I honestly have a terrible memory. I hope you love Manor as much as I do! I think Snowshoe Pass will be a winner, and you're right about Sugarvale too. The comments on their Facebook page went on and on about Snoeshoe Pass and Sugarvale! I'll do a review when I receive Snowshoe Pass (which will be soon, since it was already shipped, haha!). And yeah, I wish OHWTO had a faster TAT. They just released their holiday scents, but no one will get them before Christmas since it's 18-20 business days. Kind of disappointing!
