Swatches : W7 In the Buff Palette & In the Night Palette (pic heavy)

Γεια σας κορίτσια μου όμορφα! Ελπίζω να είσαστε καλά. Σήμερα σας έχω swatches από δύο αρκετά δημοφιλείς παλέτες της αγγλικής εταιρείας W7, την In the Buff και την In the Night. Η πρώτη είναι με γήινες αποχρώσεις, ιδανική για χρήση από το πρωϊ μέχρι το βράδυ και η δεύτερη με ροζ/μοβ κάπως πιο σκούρες αποχρώσεις. Όπως πάντα τα swatches έχουν γίνει χωρίς κάποιο primer/βάση από κάτω και οι φωτογραφίες έχουν τραβηχτεί σε φυσικό φως της ημέρας.

Swatch Time : The Body Shop Colour Crush Eyeshadows (Sweet Pea & Blackcurrant Affair)

Hola chicas! The Body Shop has new single eyeshadows out called Colour Crush and I’m gonna swatch two of them for you, Blackcurrant Affair and Sweet Pea. Both swatches were made on bare skin with no moisturizer/primer/base underneath as always, so that you can see the colors on their own. Also, keep in mind that the swatches are packed with product, so that you can see what the colors really look like, and you can definitely sheer them out to get a softer look. Let’s take a look at the swatches (click on the pic for a bit larger view) :

Blackcurrant Affair is a quite dark purple with slight fuchsia shimmer. You can use it either as regular eyeshadow on your eyelids or as eyeliner, since it’s pretty dark. The colour you see in the picture above is true to life and I tried to capture it as best as I could, purples are SO hard to photograph.

Sweet Pea is a quite light green, especially when you blend it out, and it has a slight metallic finish. Don’t let the “metallic” word scare you though, it’s really discreet and not in your face, as you can see in the picture above. It's more of a sheen than a metallic finish actually.

What do you think of the colors? Would you wear them and if so combined with what? Let me know in the comments below! Since I’m obsessed with purples I’m gonna wear the purple eyeshadow more, especially to smoke out my black eyeliners and to make them softer.

Swatch Time : Sleek Makeup Sparkle 2 Eyeshadow Palette (LE)

Hey girls, Happy Holidays! Today I’m gonna swatch the Sparkle 2 Eyeshadow Palette by Sleek Makeup, which is Limited Edition. This is your glittery, smokey mixed with some neutrals palette, perfect for the Holidays or for nights out! Wanna see the swatches? ;)

Starting from the left : Chocolate Penny, Blue Spruce, Mulled Wine, Truffle, Mistletoe, Illusion, Festive, Gold Ribbon, Glitz & Glamour, Tinsel, Twinkle, Starry Night

All swatches were made on bare skin with no primer/foundation/moisturizer underneath. Most of them are glittery, except for 4 colors (Chocolate Penny, Truffle, Gold Ribbon and Tinsel) that have a metallic finish. In the swatches you can’t really see the glitter (you can definitely see it in the picture of the palette), but I didn’t want to use flash, because it would wash out the colors. The 4 metallic colors are my favorites, because generally I’m not a huge fan of glitter. Maybe I need to start experimenting though, because this palette is so pretty! What do you think of it? ;) Would you buy it or is it too glittery for you?

Swatches from all the Essence nail polishes are coming up soon, I'm just waiting for some nail art wheels I've ordered off Ebay. Have you bought anything recently? :)

Swatch Time : Elf Studio Cream Eyeshadow in Bronzed

Hey again girls! Since I don’t have a lot of time now, I thought I’d do another Swatch Post for you, which doesn’t take long, but I hope you still enjoy it and find it useful. This time I'm swatching Elf Studio Cream Eyeshadow in Bronzed, which is a very pretty metallic bronze color. I think it would suit tan skintones very well, since we all love a little bit of bronzey glow when we’re tanned. Here are the pictures :

The swatch was made on bare skin with no primer/foundation/moisturizer underneath as always and the picture was taken in natural daylight. The color is true to life and it shows up on your eyes the way it shows in the pictures. Are you thinking about getting it? I might do a look with it today, since I got a slight tan! ;)

Swatch Time : Wet 'n Wild ColorIcon Eye Shadow Single in Penny

Hey girls! A couple of days ago I mentioned on twitter that I've been addicted to Penny eyeshadow single from Wet 'n Wild lately and some of you wanted to see swatches, so here I am. Your wish is my command! lol. This post is dedicated to the lovely Penny for obvious reasons (aka same name as the eyeshadow). Here are the pictures :

I'm not giving you the finger lol

You can see a bit of the pink undertones around the golden sheen

Gorgeous golden sheen, huh?

The swatch was made on bare skin with no primer/foundation/moisturizer underneath as always. The color is true to life and it shows up on your eyes the way it shows in the pictures. When you wipe it off you get some pretty intense pink undertones, which I find extremely beautiful. What do you think of it? Do you own this or something similar? ;) It kind of reminds me of NARS Orgasm Blush and Sleek Rose Gold Blush!

Swatch Time : Stila Shadow Pot in 05 Lime

Hey my lovelies! ;) Here's another swatch post for you. Today I'm swatching Stila Shadow Pot in 05 Lime, which is quite lovely, yet I've never used it. I should start using it though, because it will propably start drying out soon, since I've had it for a long time. Anyway, wanna see how it looks like? Then keep reading! ;)

The swatch was made on bare skin with no primer/foundation/moisturizer underneath as always. The color in real life is a little bit more green with fine green sparkles, in the pictures it looks kinda silver-ish. No matter what I did I just couldn't capture the true color. What do you think of it? Do you own this or something similar? ;)

Swatch Time : Elf Duo Eyeshadow Cream in Butter Pecan

Hi my lovelies! Here's another swatch post for you. This time I'm swatching Elf Duo Eyeshadow Cream in Butter Pecan, which is a neutral and therefore quite popular duo. Wanna see how it looks like? Then keep reading! ;)

The swatches made on bare skin with no primer/foundation/moisturizer underneath as always. As you can see both colors are pigmented and they have a kinda metallic finish. Keep in mind that I've done the swatches quite heavily, so that you can see the colors clearly. What do you think of this duo? Would you buy it? I think it's lovely! ;)

Swatch Time : Sleek Acid Eyeshadow Palette

Hey girls! ;) This time I'm gonna swatch Acid Eyeshadow Palette by Sleek. This is your super bright palette, so definitely not for everyday use, unless you can support the whole style of course. Wanna see the swatches? ;)

All swatches made on bare skin with no primer/foundation/moisturizer underneath. Most of them are matte, except for 4 colors (1, 5, 6 and 11) that have a metallic finish and these 4 colors along with the purple one are my favorites. What do you think of this palette? ;) Would you buy it just for fun or is it too bright for you?

Swatch Time : Sleek Chaos Eyeshadow Palette

Hi girls! ;) This time I'm gonna swatch Chaos Eyeshadow Palette by Sleek. It's a palette with a variety of colors, it has some neutrals, as well as some blues and greens and the colors aren't super bright. Wanna see the swatches? ;)

All swatches made on bare skin with no primer/foundation/moisturizer underneath. As you can see they're pretty matte and you know it's hard to find good matte eyeshadows that are pigmented and that don't cost a fortune. Do you like them? ;)
