So here's another set of swatches of eyeshadows from GlamourDoll Eyes. This time around I swatched the 4 eyeshadows I purchased from the 80s Child collection, which are a set of e/s inspired by cartoons and shows from the 80s era. The shades I got were Shimmer which is inspired by Rainbow Brite, Jerrica which was inspired by the show Jem, Brewster which was inspired by Punky Brewster and finally Mutant inspired by the legendary Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles.
Here is the link for the 80s Child Collection Page where you can get the shades mentioned, and other eyeshadows in the collection:
You can purchase these as single shadows for $9 or get the whole collection for $72, bear in mind these come in 10g jars which is why they are a little more expensive than the regular 5g shadows which are $6. So your basically getting 50% more shadow for only an extra $3 :) And GDE ships internationally too, for more information about the shipping visit this page:
Now onto the prettys!
Heres what the funky labels for this collection look like, with the special pink lids =^.^= (click on all following images to enlarge)

I really can't describe how unbelievably pretty this colour is! Its a frosty white shadow jam packed with micro multi coloured shimmer particles in it such as purple, blue, green,pink & gold.
Without a base this one is pale enough for use as an awesome highlighter shade if you want a really sparkly pop of shimmer on the brow bone area.

On top of a base the white frostyness is intensified and you can definitly still see the gorgeous shimmer particles. I also tried this shadow over a black eyeshadow and O M G soooo gorgeous!
I really am in love with this one, it makes me paint my whole face with it just so I can stare at the shimmery prettyness all day xD
Jericca

I got this eyeshadow because yellow is one colour of shadow I don't own a whole lot of, and it has made me realise I need more yellow in my life, haha. The thing that makes this one unique is that it has lots of aqua shimmer particles and a few pink sparks throughout.

I'm really looking forward to trying this with some blue eyeshadows, I think it would look super pretty. The yellow is a shimmery almost golden tone, when not applied over a primer or base it brings out the golden tone, but with a base its definitly more yellow toned.

I couldn't stop staring at this one when I swatched it. My camera seems to have a hard time picking up the shimmer in all these eyeshadows, but on the skin they really stand out and glimmer when the light catches them.
Brewster

This is a stunning pinky coral shade with aqua sparkles throughout. I could eat this colour its that good! Another one of those shades I don't have a lot of but will soon be getting more of after purchasing this one.

Without a base this one is a more peachy toned coral made really special with the little aqua sparkles, no matter what angle or lighting you look at this one from they really stand out. Then when you pop iton top of a base....Wow! It brings out an awesome pink tone out in the shadow that brings out the sparkles even more. This would look amazing on the eyelid on its own with just some black eyeliner on the lid and waterline.

Mutant

This colour is Special and mega awesome. Its a beautiful green shadow that has a slightly golden sheen to it and is loaded with red, blue, green and orange sparkles. Its by far the prettyest bright green I own!

When I applied it without a base it has that gorgeous golden sheen to it. The sparkles in this one are a little less noticable, but still create a gorgeous shimmery effect. On top of a base the green is a lot brighter, and the golden sheen is less obvious but with the tiny flecks of coloured sparkles running through it.

Overall, all 4 of these shadows are gorgeous. I definetely need to get some of the others in the collection at a later date! The other one I really wanted is Vanity which is inspired by The Smurfs and is a really vibrant bright blue with silver sparkles. I'll have to get that one next time I order from GDE :D.
Shimmer & Mutant are my favourites of the ones I purchased, but they are all equally as beautiful. Whats best of all is all the GDE eyeshadows apply very easily and have great staying power, and there is a huge range of shades to choose from!
If you haven't purchased any GDE products, you don't know what your missing...quick go order now! Haha :) Below is a link to the homepage where there are links to all the different categories and collections:
Stay tuned for the next two posts where I'll have swatches of the Art Deco &Twilight inspired Twi-Shadow collection! And also here are links to my other GDE swatch posts:
