Darling Girl Cosmetics

I placed an order with Darling Girl Cosmetics during a flash sale.  I ordered a ton of samples and one full sized mineral shadow.  With my order I also got a free full sized color of the week mineral shadow.  A pretty good deal!

The pictures of the shadows on the website were gorgeous.  I had such a hard time narrowing down my choices.I ended up going with mostly sparkly, shimmery colors and duo chromes.  And I am not disappointed.  The colors are just as gorgeous in person. They're thick, lush and a little goes a long way. I will definitely be order from them again.  For so long my go to brand has been Sweet Libertine, and while the colors are beautiful the shipping times can sometimes be a little off putting.  I'm excited to find a new brand with totally different palettes.

Below I swatched all the colors I ordered.  I applied a primer to one side of my hand and applied the shadow to my naked skin on the other.  If you look closely you can tell the primer is on the part of my hand closest to my knuckles.


From left to right: Uprising, Boom Boom Pow, Fireworks, Joust, and Teenage Dream.

From top to bottom: Scarab, London Calling, Black Hole Sun, Jack's Lantern, Eclipse and Black Moon.

I do have a couple very, very small complaints.  1. The website can be overwhelming.  There is so much to choose from and it's mostly organized by color, which isn't bad, but a little frustrating when you have to keep going back to the beginning to add stuff to your cart.  And 2. The eyeshadows were a little messy when I first opened them.  I'm not sure if they just weren't packed well or if they got knocked around in shipping and a little spilled out.  But I would like to stress that these are very petty complaints and almost not worth mentioning.

Overall verdict:  I love this brand! All the colors are beautiful and I can't wait to order more.  I'm an eyeshadow junkie through and through. I love finding small business brands with good quality products.  Though I still buy things from big name brands I would rather support the little people. :)

I have a feeling I am going to come back to this brand and pick my favorite color to review more thoroughly after I have a little wear time behind me. So, keep your eyes peeled for that.


If you love eyeshadow as much as I do, give  Darling Girl Cosmetics a try!
