Darling Girl Cosmetics has released a new ten eyeshadow collection called One Hit Wonders V.1 The 80's
From the website!
Our tribute to all the gloriously bad one hit wonders from the 80's!

| The packaging was super cute |
Can you make it through this review without getting songs stuck in your head? I definitely didn't. I was surprised to find out that not only had I heard of most of these songs but well enough to get the main tune stuck in my head. Thanks a lot Susan. ಠ_ಠ
But these are DGC's standard beautiful formula. My personal favorites are 99 Luft Balloons (and there's the song again...) and Turning Japanese. The colors work really well together and despite having a bright green and several bold shades, those seem to take a backseat to the other glowing eyeshadows.
Since this is labeled as "V1," I think it's safe to assume that there will be at least one set following this one. I'm a huge boy band fan and I'm excited to see what comes of a "the 90s" set.
From the website: Purplish blue with red color shifting sparkle.
Eye Shadow Ingredients: Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxide, Carnauba Wax, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Tin Oxide, Silica, Synthetic Fluorophylogopite and Magnesium Stearate.
Personal Comments: This is one of DGC's Diamond Dust shades! Make sure to use a glitter glue to capture all of the extra shimmery goodness. It's a blue-purple that takes on strong purple notes in direct light. The shimmer does have a red tint but it blends in to make the purple look lighter. Applied over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. This picture was taken outside in natural light.

Stay tuned for part two!
Every time I fill orders for these I sing the songs LOL and your welcome! :p
ReplyDeleteXD Have you started thinking on V2?
DeleteI have. I don't have a time frame yet on when I'll do it but a few that I know I want to include are Baby Got Back, MMM MMM MMM (Crash Test Dummies) and Let Me Clear My Throat. I feel like I could do so many collections from 90's music! I loved grunge and boy bands equally and could so do collections for both haha
DeleteGreat swatches as always and I really liked how you put them all together at the top! did you do this for the darling girl Xmas Collection (2013)?
ReplyDeleteThanks
I did! http://www.indieknow.net/2013/11/collection-spotlight-twas-night-before.html
DeleteI really like showing the swatches together to get an idea of how everything complements each other. :)
This theme is so fun! I love Electric Avenue (both the song and the eyeshadow, heh.)
