Dawn Eyes Cosmetics- Rising Sun, Seaweed, etc. (Part 3)

Hi Everyone!

I realize this post is long past due, sorry about that. I haven't been feeling well, but hopefully this will kick-start more blogging from me.

All swatches are over LA Splash Eyeshadow Sealer/Base.

My Little Pony- "Light poodle pink pearl loaded with silver sparks, and more subtle sparks of violet and pale green, sweet and feminine!"

Electrified- "Bright electric blue base with a strong purple/pink overtone that has a slight shift to gold, littered with pink/purple/aqua color-shifting glimmers."

Hellenic Fire- "Gorgeous red based orange with a strong golden overtone, naturally shimmering but no added sparkle!"

Tropic Reef- "Brilliant green/aqua loaded with color-shifting sparkle that runs aqua to purple! Fun and fabulous!"

Seaweed- "Lush and bright yet deep green, loaded with brilliant blue and green glitter! Stunning and fresh!"

Stormfront- "A lovely lavender/grey sparkling with blue and golden gleams! Strong yet soft!"

Extraordinary- "A lovely pink base glows aqua then deep pink then deep coral, sparkling with aqua to purple to pink color-shifting glimmers."

Rising Sun- "A lovely pink/orange shifting to a golden/orange, with beautiful pink/coral/gold color-shifting sparkle. "

Seaflower- "Forest green shifting to deep teal then on to rich dark blue, dripping with color-shifting glitter that ranges purple/pink to gold. "

I really love Electrified, Tropic Reef, Seaweed and Seaflower!

An Update: Life!

Hi Everyone!

Sorry I haven't been around much! I recently found out that I'm pregnant with my first child! It's SOOO exciting! I'm still in my first trimester, so I have a while to go until my baby is here. I had been dealing with horrible morning sickness for about a month, but it has gotten better for the most part.

I realize I haven't posted Part 3 of my Dawn Eyes swatches. I'm going to try my best to have them up within the next few days. It seems like every time I say I'm going to do something blog related I jinx myself and I'm sick for a few days. Blah. But I promise it will be up!

I have some eyeshadow I completely forgot to swatch when I got it a while back and recently found those again, so I will have those up eventually.

I've been thinking about my blogs a lot and what new stuff to add. I may start adding reviews of products I love or hate. I've also thought about re-doing some of my older swatches. I hate looking back at them sometimes! I know people from all over the world see them since the colors are still being sold, so I'll hopefully be re-swatching those. Also, thoughts on makeup looks? Maybe just the eyes for now? I'm not the greatest with eye looks, but practice makes perfect!

I think this is all for now! I'm so excited for the future! Thanks for being followers/fans/friends! I appreciate everything!

Dawn Eyes Cosmetics Swatches- Creep, Echo, etc. (Part 2)

These are more random swatches from my last order. You can see Part 1 HERE.

All are swatched over LA Splash Eyeshadow Sealer/Base.

Midnight Bloom- "Dark grey/black matte base has been turned into a blue/purple/pink shifting glitter powerhouse through the use of copious amounts of color shifting sparkle, primer truly should be used!" 

Firestarter-"Red base that glows with a copper satin overtone, sparkling with bright golden glitter and tiny pink sparks."

Creep-"Bright yellow/green with a shift in one direction to a nearly neon green and in the other to a coral, scattered with golden and blue sparks."
*I don't really see this as a neon green. Although it is a nice color.*

Green Gables-"Fresh green frost fancied up with golden glitter and laced with color-shifting glitter that ranges blue/purple/pink."

 

Own It!-"Incredibly lush purple base drenched in blue to purple to pink color-shifting glitter!"

 

Echo-"This mysterious color looks nearly taupe head on, but has strong shifts to pink and green, and loaded with silver glitter!"

 

Fresh-"Light pretty green with green sparks and red/gold color shifting glimmers."

 

Coraline-"Beautiful coral peach with a shift to a more orange coral, loaded with lovely pink to gold color-shifting sparkle!"

 

Sunkissed Cloud-"Rich red base with beautiful aqua to purple to pink color shifting overlay, glittering with gold and purple sparkle!"

 

 

 

I really love Midnight Bloom and Sunkissed Cloud. I'd really love to see Dawn make more color shifters/duochrome-y colors like Sunkissed Cloud. It's not glitter packed and it's just gorgeous in my opinion. I can't wait to see what she'll come up with next! I will have my last part (Part 3) up later this week!

All are swatched over LA Splash Eyeshadow Sealer/Base.

 Sinister Urge- "A light blue with a red sheen." Part of the Not Another Zombie Collection.

Medusa- "This deep green glitters away worn dry and shimmers like scales when worn wet."

 

Fearless-"rich lavender that shimmers away with aqua sparkles."

 

Insect-"This is a sparkly shimmery light neutral brown with lots of iridescence. Strong notes of green and gold give this one depth."
