Persephone Minerals Swatches!

During the craze of the holidays I decided I needed some Persephone Minerals. Who doesn't? Victoria makes gorgeous duo-chromes so I couldn't help but snag some more pretty things. To see all the pricings and everything check out my original review!

These were all swatched dry with no primer.

Fallen Angel - is another gorgeously gorgeous duo-chrome. This is a really light blue that shifts to a pinky orange. Heaven in an eye shadow. 

Winter Wonderland - is a really pretty ice blue with blue sparklies. It almost has a slight purple shift. 

Silent Night - is a beautiful dark blue shadow with light blue sparklies. 

Chione - is a new absolutely gorgeous product. These can be used not only on the eyes, but on your face! Chione is a white with an intense blue/purple shift with some pink and purple sparklies.

Ceres - is a white with an amazing green shift and some green sparklies.

OMG. I love these so much! These are just so gorgeous. Victoria has outdone herself here. Truly. There are also some Persephone Minerals samples in my giveaway! =]

Love,

Dead Ringer - is a really gorgeous brown with copper, red and gold sparklies. There is a slight copper shift in some lights. 

Spirit Realm - is probably the most gorgeous shadow I have ever laid eyes on. It is grey in the jar, rubs to a bright green with slight blue accents then suddenly without warning shifts to a bright blue. Please, just buy this color. 

Cotton Candy - is a really pale almost metallic pink with a slight blue shift. 

Delusion - is a satiny purple with purple sparklies. 

Trance - is a slightly greyed pale blue with a slight purple shift. 

Asteri - is a dark navy with some copper sparklies. I adore this color.

Escort - is a bright butt blue with light blue sparklies. Its so bright it almost hurts my eyes. 

Smoke - is a greyed out purple with multi-colored sparkilies.

Bicurious - is absolutely gorgeous. It is a baby blue with a peach/pink shift. 

Another angle of Bicurious.

Pluto Planet Power - is a gorgeous emerald green with green and light blue sparklies. 

Dead Scream - is a sating plum with silver sparklies.

Sailor Pluto - is a darker emerald green with green sparklies. 

Mars Crystal Power - is another gorgeous duo-chrome that starts as a bright red and shifts to a peach/gold.

Rei- is a blackened purple with purple sparklies. 

Elysian - is a brown with some gold accents.

Kore - is a blackened red with some red and gold sparklies. I love this color. 

My Favorites - Kore, Mars Crystal Power, Sailor Pluto, Bicurious, Asteri, Spirit Realm, and Dead Ringer. 

Persephone Minerals is a fantastic company that has some of my favorite colors. Their colors range from fairly simple to the extremely complex and this store is my go-to place for duo-chromes. Victoria is also the sweetest person and is extremely accommodating. If you haven't already, go grab some samples and try some stuff. She also has her new collections out. I ordered some =]. 

I will be posting my giveaway when everything gets here. But I have lots in store for everyone!

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

I rather enjoy/love/adore Grimm. Its a fantastic show. Its a realistic spin on Grimm's tales and when the gorgeous Cassia from Trinity Designs wanted to do a colab on this show with me, I was thrilled! Also, I do not have my laptop back unfortunately, but my parentals sent me a replacement (My brother's beat up, the control key doesn't work, laptop) to use for the time being. So, when the sun peeks out, I'll so some swatches. Back to the colab =P. Cassia and I decided we were going to each do an episode we felt passionately towards. I rather enjoyed Goldilocks and the Three Bears as a child and I was really excited to do this look. I hope you enjoy it. Also, I attempted to tightline on my water line!

Things I used:
Virus Insanity Eyeshadow Crazy Primer
Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy
Shu Uemura's Ultimate Expression Mascara
Essence Brow Designer in Light Brown
Tick:Tock Cosmetics Infinity Eye Shadow Base in Black Hole (as liner)
Glamour Doll Eyes in Skin of a Killer (used to blend, at lower lash line and at brow line)
Persephone Minerals in Elysian (crease) (review coming soon)
Sugar Pill Goldilox (at tear)
Unknown shadow in Dubloon (used on lid and lower lash line)

Onto the Pictures!!!

The only natural light photo that I could achieve. 

Please don't mind the eye booger.

Yay tightline!
