Glamour Doll Eyes - More Swatches!

At the beginning of this past week Vee at Glamour Doll Eyes had a superb sale to gear up for their relocation. All products were 50% off for the first 100 people to use the coupon code she provided. So naturally I hawked my computer like a hungry vulture (I'm totally okay with that analogy too) on Sunday night so I could take part in this great offer. I ordered 23 jars in all and I wanted to share them with you. <3




Graves In May, Dinospots*, Backstabber, All Nighter, FrankenGlamour & Stellar
Super Shadows: Recruit, Feline Fatale, Spider Sense & Twi Shadows: Premonition, Just Bitten & Mind Reader
I really like every color I purchased in the above pictures. All of them swatched well except for Mind Reader. Its a beautiful blue/black shade with a hint of silverish glitter, as you can see in the above picture with the jar opened.


Drag Queen, Lace Panties & Sarcasm. I love chartreuse eye shadows!

 I also ordered some Eye Lights!

Glamour Doll Eye Lights. Swatched over NYX White Eyeshadow base (L) & Black Bean Jumbo Eye Pencil (R)
Top Row: Rave, Bachelorette & Techno
Second Row: Hot Mess, Cashed Out & Glowstick
Bottom Row: Casino & Monster Mash
The Eye Lights are pretty fun. They can really transform a color as you can see with Glowstick over white & then black. I advise using a mixing medium with cosmetic glitter so they adhere better to your lid with less fall out. I would typically use Beauty From The Earths Mix & Fix or Liquid Luster to achieve this.

Hope you enjoyed the swatches! Thanks for reading! XOXO

Glamour Doll Eyes

Recently on my Facebook page I inquired to my followers what brands of make up I should check out and one of the suggestions was Glamour Doll Eyes! I had read a bit about this company and really liked the swatches I was able to find on the internet. With so many positive reviews I decided to place my order on Tuesday and it was here to greet my mailbox on Friday afternoon!


Inside the package was one of the most impressive packing and promo material I have ever received from an "indie" company. A brochure detailing a lot about the company, How To Create look card, stickers, business cards, Thank You card from Vee (the owner) & samples!

 After taking a few moments to look over all the materials in the package I dove right into the eye shadows. I had ordered 11 sample jars of eye shadows that were all blended by Vee and not listed with an *. I have quite an extensive eye shadow/mineral collection and didn't want to chance getting a dupe color. I wanted to see what amazingness Vee had concocted up!

From Glamour Doll Eyes website:
What does the * next to the shadow name in a listing mean?
The colors that are listed with a * by their names means that they are unblended. This means that we take minerals/pigments in its truest form besides adding powders (on most occasions) to improve slip, adhesion, blend ability and longevity. This allows us to offer a wide variety of colors at the customers request while still being able to spend more time creating more complex colors. This might also mean that some of these colors are close or exact dupes to other companies that offer unblended shadows as well, so please read descriptions and swatches carefully.

I had ordered the Art Deco Collection (Tattooed, Island Chic, Oddity, Juicy Mango, Phyrra & Pistol Pistol) $10.75 and 5 other samples (Undead, Ahoy Sailor, Girlfriend Sweater, Veteran & Sex Appeal) $2.50 ea jar.

Veteran, Sex Appeal, Oddity, Juicy Mango, Undercover & Unicorn

Veteran, Sex Appeal, Oddity, Juicy Mango, Undercover & Unicorn
I'm really impressed with some of these colors. They all swatched smoothy and had great color pay out. I was even more so wowed with colors like Veteran, Undead & Sex Appeal because they looked pretty in the jars but OMG when I got them on my arm I just stared at how stunning they are. I will most definitely be ordering from this company again to get a few more colors that caught my eye.

For all of you thinking about trying GDE: Glamour Doll Eyes has a great Sample Section where you can get all their eye shadows and collections in sample bags or jars. Shipping is free on all samples and if you dig your colors enough they will credit the balance paid for a sample jar or bag towards a full size one - just send them an email prior to ordering.

Thanks for reading! XOXO
