Jesse's Girl Antique Green

Normally, I'm obsessed with green eyeshadows.  It's one color that pretty much always looks good with my brown eyes.  However, Jesse's Girl eye dust in Antique Green just didn't have a lot of oomph for me.  As soon as I opened my pot, my finger slipped and I ended up with a chunk of it under my nail.

Look at all that sparkle.


Okay so sun time

In the sun you can see that it doesn't really have much punch behind it which granted, this is one swipe, dry, no primer.

Sun take 2 and you can see the dark base of the green without all the pretty sparkles.

The shade is pretty lackluster as well.  I'm very sad about this because I absolutely have loved these eye dusts but this one fell short.  It was already too dark green for my tastes but the lack of opacity and pigment just didn't hit a home run.

Jesse's Girl sells for $4.99 a piece online or at Rite Aid stores. You can visit Jesse's Girl on their website, Like them on Facebook and Follow them on Twitter.

ManGlaze Butt Taco

This is another upcoming color from ManGlaze so "ignore the bottle, ignore the name" - just check out the color!  It's a bright orange matte with a bit of red in it - not really a tomato color but not carrot orange either.  This is 3 thin coats with no base or top coat.

Sorry for the blurry shade picture.  But you can see the color - just squint a little...


And because I can't leave stuff alone, here's a top coat over it.

Mmm, pretty shiny stuff that's all kinds of good.  Even if this color's name reminds me of a bad day at a Mexican place.  

And then in the shade.  Fun times!  This color isn't out yet but can you stand the wait?!

Jesse's Girl Trouble Maker

Another Eye Dust for you today from Jesse's Girl - this is Trouble Maker, a light blue that has a bit of white mixed in with it.

Once again (heh), the pot looks much darker than the actual swatch.  With pigments, you only need to use a little to make a big statement.  I really should have swatched all these wet too (using a primer like Urban Decay Primer Potion) in order to show the difference.  I'm still new to the whole cosmetics swatching.  I have been an avid fan of Temptalia and FrmHeadToToe and well, I'm learning.

Side shot in the sun for opacity.

Here it is in the shade, and the payout isn't as pretty as I hoped but it's still a nice blue.  I'm still new to wild colors as eyeshadow.  :)

Jesse's Girl Starshine

Today's Eye Dust from Jesse's Girl is Starshine, a snow white glitter pigment.  Not much surprise there - good for the inner eye or just to layer with another color.

Pure sun, and you can see that just one pat (no primer) has a lot of payout.

Shifted slightly to show opacity.

And once in the shade for good measure.  ^_^  If I was still in my early 20s, I'd probably wear this a LOT as a highlight, but I'm just going to have to see how I want to use it now.
