Indie Spotlight: Glamour Doll Eyes!

Hey guys! Coming at ya today with another Indie Spotlight post! This time, I'll be reviewing the popular indie brand, Glamour Doll Eyes!

Glamour Doll Eyes is a pretty popular indie makeup brand, they sell eyeshadows, lip glosses, blushes, and a bunch of stuff in between! You might recognize this brand if you've been following my Sample Saturdays series, as I've featured them quite a few times! The owner, Vee, has recently contacted me and asked if I would like to do a review on some shades from GDE. I was overjoyed and of course said yes! Prior to that, I have purchased, and used GDE myself, so I already knew I loved the products!

I choose six eyeshadows, and below I've swatched them over Urban Decay Primer Potion, NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk, and finally foiled with just plain ol' water.

Here's a look I wore the other day using FrankenGlamous, Tattooed, and Heedless Heart (As well as Sugarpill eyeshadow in 2am, and Wet N Wild eyeshadow in Brulee)

The shadows are smooth, blendable, and gorgeously pigmented! I already knew I liked Glamour Doll Eyes, but the shades I chose this time around were just incredible! At $6 for a full sized jar, you really can't complain! GDE also offers TWO different sizes of samples you can purchase, which is amazing, because you all know, I LOVE me some samples! ;D Glamour Doll Eyes is also Cruelty Free!

I'd love to know if you're already a fan of GDE, or if you've been wanting to check them out! If you're already a fan, what are some of your favorite shades?!

Indie Spotlight: Geek Chic Cosmetics

So, I know it's Saturday, and you're probably all like 'Where's the Sample Saturday post?!' Well, shit, I'm thinking the same thing. Unfortunately I've fallen victim YET AGAIN to an allergic reaction to a product, this time, a latex free (I know, like, seriously?) eyelash glue, and am not able to wear contacts, eye makeup, or film for a few days while they heal. BOO! 

ANYWAYS! I wanted to still do a focus on an indie brand, and this is one you've seen a few times if you've been watching and reading my Sample Saturday episodes! This post is gonna be all about Geek Chic Cosmetics!

Geek Chic is an indie cosmetics line, that focuses on creating cosmetics around all sorts of geekery. If you are into certain fandoms, you will INSTANTLY recognize names and collections from some of your favorite video games, anime, tv series, and movies! Their products are 100% vegan AND cruelty free.

I had ordered 9 sample eyeshadows, just to try. They also sell lip products, a few face products, nail polish (seems like they're getting ready to relaunch those soon), and solid perfume. They looked incredible on the website, and damn, do they look just as incredible in person! Sometimes there are just eyeshadows that BEG to have their macro, close-up shots taken! I just chosen a few samples of shades that REALLY stood out to me, (or with names that I just couldn't possible pass up!)

Collections: The Game is On, This Isn't a Democracy, and Go Boldly

High-Functioning Sociopath

Clementine Will Remember

Blood Wine

Swatched dry with no base or primer!

Collection: Fellowship

One Ring

Samwise The Brave

Swatched dry with no primer or base!

Collection: Timey Wimey

We Are Coming

Bad Wolf

Swatched dry with no primer or base!

Collection: Witchcraft and Wizardry

Golden Trio

Mischief Managed

Swatched dry with no primer or base!

Some of these shades are just brilliant, unlike any that I currently have in my collection! Samples can be ordered of most colors for $1.25. While that's a pretty cheap price, I will say that some of my samples seemed to be a little lighter than others. Full sizes are only $5.99, which is a great price, but you only get 1 gram of product inside. I still personally chose to purchase samples, because I rarely go through a full sized eyeshadow, and if I end up using up a sample, THEN I'll purchase a full size for sure! 

I have since order more samples (and admittedly, a couple full size) shadows from Geek Chic! I have been loving them, especially the ones with the stunning microglitters in them, I can't get enough! I hope to try MANY more colors from this brand, and hell, I'd even be down to try their lip products, blushes, and solid perfumes too! 

I'd definitely recommend checking out Geek Chic if you're into any nerdy fandom, OR if you just like really, really pretty colors! 

Which the fandoms immortalized in makeup from Geek Chic calls the most to you? Also, what other brands have you seen me use in Sample Saturday (or any!) tutorials that you'd like to see an Indie Spotlight post on?
