-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


From the website: Graffiacane has a deep warm brown plush matte base with an intense color traveling duochrome effect that ranges from gold to chatreuse green.

These are eyeshadows, not formulated for use on your lips.

Personal Comments: To me, this shade is a cocoa brown matte base with a ton of acid green glitter. I don't see the gold referenced in the official description, but geez are these some bright green sparkles! The shadow looks pretty much identical over bare skin, a silicone primer, and a sticky base, though I think the glitter is a little more densely packed over a sticky base. Applied over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. This picture was taken outside in natural light.

From the website: Libicocco has a greyed violet plush matte base with metallic copper undertones and a strong copper to red to violet color-traveling duochrome effect.

Personal Comments: I see a cool-toned tan taupe base with a million sparkles that shift from pink to bright fuchsia. The official description says the base is matte, but I honestly can't tell from looking at it because there's so much shimmer packed on top! It looks completely identical over bare skin, a silicone primer, and a sticky base. Applied over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. This picture was taken outside in natural light.

From the website: Malacoda has a deep purplish taupe plush matte base with an intense color-traveling duochrome effect that ranges from copper to green to aqua. It’s extremely complex! 

Eye Shadow Ingredients: Mica (CI 77019), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Carnauba Wax,  Ferric Oxide, Nylon-12, Silica, Magnesium Stearate May contain: Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Ultramarines (CI 77007, ), Chromium Oxide (CI 77288), Ferric Ferrocyanide (CI 77510), Tin Oxide (CI 77861), (Silica (+) Bronze/Copper Powder)

Personal Comments: Steampunk lovers, do not pass go, do not collect $200, just buy a full size of this shade immediately. It's got an amazing metallic copper base with a bit of a smokey charcoal gray haze and a surfeit of pink and green shimmers. It was love at first sight for me! I don't see much of the charcoal haze over a sticky base, but it shows up more over bare skin and silicone primer. Applied over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. This picture was taken outside in natural light.

From the website: Malebranche is a rich midtone copperish brown with slight metallic effects, and overlaid with a pale blue to silver duochrome effect. In different lighting, the duochrome can appear to blend with the base color, giving this shade a purplish lean. 

Eye Shadow Ingredients: Mica (CI 77019), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Carnauba Wax,  Ferric Oxide, Nylon-12, Silica, Magnesium Stearate May contain: Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Ultramarines (CI 77007, ), Chromium Oxide (CI 77288), Ferric Ferrocyanide (CI 77510), Tin Oxide (CI 77861), (Silica (+) Bronze/Copper Powder)

Personal Comments: I see a muted burnt orange with green and copper shimmer. This shade reminds me a lot of Shiro's limited edition Halloween color Ragdoll (reviewed here) but with less shimmer. The finish is very lightly metallic. The shade looks nearly identical over bare skin, a sticky base, and a silicone primer, though I think the metallic finish is slightly more prominent over a sticky base. Applied over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. This picture was taken outside in natural light.

From the website: Rubicante is a muted rich red plush matte base with violet tones. It is overlaid with a strong duochrome effect which ranges from blue ro violet. 

Eye Shadow Ingredients: Mica (CI 77019), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Carnauba Wax,  Ferric Oxide, Nylon-12, Silica, Magnesium Stearate May contain: Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Ultramarines (CI 77007, ), Chromium Oxide (CI 77288), Ferric Ferrocyanide (CI 77510), Tin Oxide (CI 77861), (Silica (+) Bronze/Copper Powder) 

THIS COLLECTION IS VEGAN.

These are eyeshadows, not formulated for use on your lips.

Personal Comments:  This shade is similar to the previous shade (Malebranche) except it leans more pinky-red than orange. It's got a ton of pastel blue and copper shimmer. I can see a metallic pink duochrome appearing in the base color at the edges of the swatch. The color is notably more glittery and metallic over a sticky base or a silicone primer - both effects kind of pull a disappearing act over bare skin. Applied over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. This picture was taken outside in natural light.

From the website: Scarmiglione is a muted midtone purplish grey taupe plush matte base with a very strong color traveling duochrome which ranges from vibrant gold to chartreuse.  

Eye Shadow Ingredients: Mica (CI 77019), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Carnauba Wax,  Ferric Oxide, Nylon-12, Silica, Magnesium Stearate May contain: Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Ultramarines (CI 77007, ), Chromium Oxide (CI 77288), Ferric Ferrocyanide (CI 77510), Tin Oxide (CI 77861), (Silica (+) Bronze/Copper Powder)

Personal Comments: Oh my gosh, this shade is bending my brain a little bit! Both the base color and the shimmer keep shifting and I can't quite wrap my head around them. Sometimes the base color looks gray, sometimes gray-brown taupe, sometimes a very cool, muted lavender. The shimmer started out silver, but then totally surprised me when it turned a soft, creamy gold. Then I stepped into a different lighting and suddenly the shimmer was green! It's too cool. The shade looks identical over bare skin, silicone primer, and a sticky base. Applied over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. This picture was taken outside in natural light.
