Darling Girl Cosmetics: Life's A Beach Swatches and Look

Today I have a look I did using four shades from the Darling Girl Life's A Beach collection that came out Summer 2013. It looks like Freedom Rings isn't on the Darling Girl website anymore, but Susan has many other lovely white shadows you could use instead.

**The eyeshadows used in this post were bought by me with my 20% Darling Girl discount. As always these are my 100% honest and personal thoughts. I am not being compensated in any way.**

Shadow Descriptions

Freedom Rings: "Somewhat opaque white with very subtle blue undertone and loaded with color shifting blue and soft red iridescence." The pinkish red sparkle is very subtle.

Tank Taupe: "Light matte taupe brown." My swatches came out much more brown than in my look.

Boom Boom Pow: "If you love golds this is a must!  Brilliant metallic gold with gold iridescence." Spot on!

Fireworks: "Black base with an explosion of gold and pink color shifting sparkle and copper reflect." Pink and gold sparkles shift to gold and green at an angle.

What I Used:
ELF Eyelid Primer
Darling Girl Glitter Glue
Wet n Wild Brulee on browbone
DG Freedom Rings on inner corner
DG Tank Taupe on lid
DG Fireworks on outer corner
DG Boom Boom Pow in crease
WnW Liquid Liner in black
Maybelline Great Lash Mascara Lots of Lashes

 

Quick Dark Heart Design Swatches

Alright, this is the cherry on top of my late posts. Are you ready? I bought this Christmas time 2011... Yah... Long time ago right? This collection is based upon The Nightmare Before Christmas movie by Tim Burton (one of my favorites!)

Wet n Wild Sparkly Refresh-Mint Mani!

I'm wearing 1 coat of basecoat, 2 coats of Wet n Wild I Need A Refresh-Mint, and 1 coat of WnW Speak When Spoken To. I'm pretty sure this mani was from a year ago >.>

This was 2 coats of WnW I Need A Refresh-Mint alone.

A look from Mother's Day

Sensing a trend here? Lol I'm trying to go through the back log of pictures on my computer. This look is from Mother's Day. All I know is that I'm wearing all Meow Cosmetics, but I don't know what specifically. The only thing I do know is that the Lipstick is Hot Paris Pink from Wet n Wild.

Enchanted Polish Octopus's Garden

This was the first Enchanted Polish that I bought and the indie polish that kicked off my indie polish addiction. Octopus's Garden is sooooo beautiful. Like, #1 favorite nail polish of all time, beautiful. Sigh. I could look a pictures of this all day! The predominate color is a red toned purple/blurple that shifts magenta to fuchsia to copper to red to orange to golden yellow. Under artificial light and flash it looks bright indigo (which is also super pretty.) And of course, holographic sparkles!

The first 7 pictures are 3 coats in sunlight. Picture 8 is 3 coats with flash and picture 9 is 3 coats in windowlight.

 

The next 4 pictures are 1 coat of Octo Garden and 1 coat of topcoat over 1 coat of Sinful Colors black creme in windowlight. The duochrome effect is more obvious over a black base, but the holo sparkles aren't as noticeable with just one coat.
