I have another swatchfest of Dawn Eyes shadows! It's true, I decided to create yet another Kate's Color; this should be the last, I promise! I based this one off of my other favorite legendary Pokemon, Giratina, and I asked for the color to be a dupe of Shiro's discontinued "Party Escort" shadow with additional yellow/gold sparkles. I wanted the shadow to be predominantly charcoal with strong red sparkles though. While I was creating this shade, Dawn also put up several of her discontinued shades up for sale, and I bought all of them so she shipped them all together. She generously gave me a ton of Kate's Colors samples AND two full sized discontinued shades as well!

| Giratina |
Giratina: shimmery dark charcoal with red and gold sparkles. I know the sparkles look silver in the swatch, and that's because it's taken under a daylight bulb which brightens the gold sparkles a lot. The picture in the jar is a more accurate representation of the color.
 |
| Alena |
Alena: shimmery white with pink sheen. This is a very beautiful and pigmented shade, I believe it would be really popular on the site!
 |
| Reason to Smile |
Reason to Smile: light pink with pink sheen and pink sparkles
 |
| Big Stupid Jellyfish |
Big Stupid Jellyfish: shimmery mauve with blue sheen and pink sparkles. What a cute name! The blue sheen was a huge surprise as well.
 |
| Triton of the Minnows |
Triton of the Minnows: gorgeous rosy copper. This is such a stunning shade with a beautiful finish, I'm considering getting this if I don't have similar things in my collection.

Daisy: matte plum with violet shimmers.
This was made by /r/IMAM's resident DEC lover /u/daisyismydog aka Rebecca! This is a very pretty shade with a great duochrome. *
Edit: Rebecca just told me it was actually made by another user as a present for her. How sweet is that?*

I'm really happy with Giratina, even though the shimmers look silver in some lighting. HOPEFULLY this will be the last custom color I order from Dawn, but I hope she does keep up the Kate's Colors fundraiser going. The discontinued colors are also beautiful and I'm glad I got them when she put them up.
