Hi everyone, I have a review of Glamour Doll Eyes today! The owner, Vanessa, had put up a status on Facebook asking if there were any bloggers interested in reviewing her products. Obviously I jumped at the chance; I've purchased from GDE before and enjoyed it. I shot her an email and she responded really quickly asking which shadows I already had so she wouldn't send me duplicates. I received my goodies soon after and was pretty stoked that she sent me something from her Super Shadows! collection (I love comics).

| Soul Sisters |
Soul Sisters: shimmery champagne with blue sparkles

| Unveil |
Unveil: matte cranberry with purple and red shimmer
 |
| Junkie |
Junkie: bright red with TONS of pink and orange sparkles
 |
| Bella Donna |
Bella Donna: shimmery seafoam green
 |
| Bird? Plane? |
Bird? Plane?: blue with gold sparkles. The name really made me chuckle haha. This color actually reminded me of Shiro Cosmetic's TARDIS; I have a comparison swatch below.
 |
| All Nighter |
All Nighter: beautiful purple with blue shimmer. This was my favorite one and I thought it was similar to Notoriously Morbid's Poisoned Grapes. I also swatched them side by side below.

As you can see from the comparison swatches, TARDIS is a bit cooler, bluer, and more sparkly. Since TARDIS is supposed to be a limited edition color, Bird? Plane? still might make a good enough dupe. They're both very pigmented and sparkly. With All Nighter and Poisoned Grapes, I found that Poisoned Grapes is slightly bluer/cooler and shimmery. They both seem to have the same base purple color , Poisoned Grapes just has a LOT more blue shimmer (as you can see in the third picture) which gives it a bluer sheen. Since Poisoned Grapes has been discontinued for awhile, All Nighter is a great dupe if you're itching for that beautiful cool purple.
I'm really glad I was given this opportunity to try this company again. I love all the different colors that were sent to me and they were all nicely pigmented. The sample sizes were also very generous and I can get so many uses out of them. If you haven't checked out Glamour Doll Eyes yet, I strongly urge you to. There are a lot of color and size options. Vanessa is also very quick to respond to emails which is a great thing for a company owner. I hope my review and swatches helped you!
