Dupes? Brown/Blue comparisons

Here I am looking for dupes. I love dual shades and brown-blue (and sparkles!) happen to be my favorites.

Make-up Geek Insomnia (~$9)
Urban Decay Solstice (~$20)
Darling Girl Sierra (~$5.90)
Backstreets Algae ($6)
My Pretty Zombie Trepanation ($5)
Glamour Doll Eyes Dinospotz ($6, discontinued) 

The jars. Do note they differ in volume. All were purchased by me in the past 12 months. 

I was totally expected to see some of these look exactly like each other (they have on my hand swatches!). I used these over a glitter adhesive (Glamour Doll Eyes Glitter Fix), a primer (Urban Decay Primer Potion) and bare skin.

I am surprised at how different these all came out. While the sheen is there, they each stand alone. Perhaps it is because the brown bases differ, or the added sparkles differ. I left these on my arm (but I am sadly too tired to add the detailed descriptions at this time) and although they rub down to a less dramatic changes, they still stand alone. Although this could be due to glitter fix drag, all but the Glamour Doll Eye shadow preform nearly identical on the UDPP as the glitter fix. 

Check out the video and see if you agree I can justify having all six shades for now.

Once I discovered Ojo de gato was back in stock I knew it was going to be mine. I wanted a sample of Mr. pickles and I made the move to get full sizes of a couple of the samples from last order. I also feel in love with a shade promoted by their model, biohazard beauty. Side note, she's so beautiful! I'm so glad I found her blog as the eye swatches are great for displaying the colour of the shadow but looking at them 100+ times to pick my shades I started to imagine it must have been a cow covered in make-up to get such large images. I can see her face now, it's so much less weird!

Arrived very well packaged. 

A personalized thank you!

Which was really nice because I requested to change a shadow a few hours after the order. They were so great helping me change. 

Three samples. Hopefully I don't fall in love and order full sizes again... 

All items were carefully packaged. And yes.. a plastic finger.

I picked out 8 shades and took a risk on the full size Dr. Pickles green correcting powder. I just thought a baggie might be too ackward to really get to know if this product works for me. I believe it should dust in on before my foundation (if I'm doing that) to help minimize the red. 

Isn't Dr. Pickles so cute!?

Bottoms of jars. Trepanation was the change that I needed to add.

More Dr. Pickles and the "must have" Ojos de Gato eyeshadow. It helps charity! Let's get those kitties back in good health!

I am so excited to play with these! Check them out at My Pretty Zombie. What shades do you love? Anyone want to see me swatch these pretties right away?

Again, very fast TAT especially considering the main women behind the game was very pregant when I ordered and had her baby before it arrived. The magic of being in groups on facebook. 

The finger DID scare me! Stupid baby hormones. :P

Samples and a lovely card. 

The best sellers box. Recommend!

I'm already loving Anthrax, and not just because I spend years researching it. It's a beautiful purple/green.

My lot of seven. I love the name "cookie pants". Swatches hopefully to come soon.
