GCC: Rocky Horror Picture Show Limited Edition Halloween

Hey Ghouls;
I know i've been posting a lot lately but that is because as i mentioned in my Glamour Doll Eyes post eight packages arrived on my doorstep. So here is a little swatch and review about two colors from the Limited Edition Halloween Rocky Horror Picture show collection by Geek Chic Cosmetics.
I can't exactly remember what colors there were in the set so if i make a mistake please forgive me but there were three eyeshadows, one lipstick and a blush.
The blush was called Touch Me and was a bright hot pink.
I cannot for the life of me remember what the lipstick was called but it was a cool tonned brown red, that appeared in the swatch to be very creamy. I have not yet personally tried any of the GCC lipsticks however i have heard good things.
The eyeshadow i didn't get i believe was entitled time warp and was a soft shimmery gold cream, the gold is very subtle.
Now on to the two eyeshadows i did get.
I got 'I'm going home' which is an amazing bright sky blue with teal shimmer, the teal is very present in the light.
and 'Madness takes it's toll' which is a minty shimmery white color, it appears to be a very very pale mint green and then shimmers a lovely richer color in the light.



I am very happy i purchased these two colors, the reason i did not purchase the blush is because i very rarely wear blush, i didn't purchase the lipstick because i have many redy brown colors and i did not purchase time warp because it did not speak to me. :3
Along with my package which was prompt as usual i recieved a free sample which i am loving the new packaging of. Instead of the usual baggy which i got last time i ordered i recived my sample in a tiny tub, i'd describe it as a pill tub of some sort. It is a tiny press together container that i find much more effecient than the baggies.
The color i got was Solid Snake which i believe is a single player color. It is a beautiful black wih blue and purple shimmer in the pot but on the skin it is viewed as a brilliantly dark purple with blue glimmer. From far away however this may have a black appearance.

That's all for this post guys.
Until Next time.

Glamour Doll Eyes: Circus Collection with MyEyeShadowIsOdd

Hey Ghouls;
So I love it when I come home and find eight packages on my doorstep :3.
I'm a subscriber of the lovely MyEyeShadowisOdd on youtube and have been for a while and when she uploaded her video about her collaboration between herself and Glamour Doll Eyes I had to purchase it. Not simply for the amazing colors that she has helped to create but also to show support and congratulations with a favourite and most fortunate youtube guru.

The collection is entitled The Circus Collection and if i'm not mistaken this is because of Myeyeshadowisodd's multiple carnival/cirucs make-up tutorials that she had been uploading.
The collection includes seven shadows and one eyelight; one of the shadows was an already established color that is favourite of Natashas.

The colors are all inspired by the street carnival or circus and are as follows;

The eyelight is entitled 'Fire Eater' and is a metallic orange, yellow and red fine glitter that doesn't feel too gritty. Obviously inspired by the old street carnival performers.
Big Top is a vibrant lemon yellow inspired of course by the circus tent in which the entertainment occurs. It is might lighter more of a lemony tone than Sugarpills buttercup, if anyone wanted a comparison.
Fiji Mermaid is probably my favourite color in the collection, it is a wondefully dark teal color but it is so much more than that. You need to see the color to believe it.
Bearded Lady a mediumish brown with a goldish and almost purple shimmer to it.
Electric Chair is the white in the collection, which is a very bright pure white color
Sword Swallower is a traditional silver with some pastel blue tones to it.
Cotton Candy is a vivid sky blue inspired by the blue cotton candy you can get mixed in with the pink.
Oddity is the color that was already established and was then added to the collection. It is a lime green with some lemony yellow shimmer to it and this is an amazing color.
My camera hasn't managed to pick up the pigments well so i've also included the picture from Glamour Doll Eyes of their swatches.






When you purchase the entire collection it comes in a gorgeous box which features a vector of Natasha on it and subsequent promotional items.


You can also get either Cotton Candy poprocks or a Cotton Candy lolipop. I got a Cotton Candy Lolipop which i can proudly say was gluten free and delicious and two carnival tickets that could be your chance to win see the Glamour Doll Eyes facebook for more details.

Over all though my personal swatches look washed out i would like to note that this is simply because of the flash and no because of the actual color. These are highly pigmented and very easy to apply.



I will be expecting more packages over the coming weeks because of Christmas and i'm getting a heap of presents mailed to me.
Until next time.
