COMPARISON: 5 Champagne Eyeshadows

One of my new obsessions is champagne eyeshadows. I think they make perfect all-over lid colors. Today i want to show you the 5 champagne shadows that I own. Some, as you can see, are almost direct dupes to others. *Photos are mine.

Swatches, L to R:
Urban Decay - Sin
Wet N Wild Walking On Eggshells - Eyelid shade
MAC - All That Glitters
Wet N Wild Comfort Zone - Eyelid Shade (left column)
CoverGirl - Mink

The first two are super similar, as well as shades 3-4. In my opinion CoverGirl Mink doesn't really make a dupe for any of these although it has been a supposed MAC All That Glitters dupe. Now that I own both i dont think it is exactly.

So what do you ladies think? Do you love or hate champagne shadows??? Some of them tend to be super reflective and/or metallic and others can be very soft and feminine.

EOTD: Too Faced Natural Eye "Classic"

Today i'm re-creating the 'Classic' look from the Too Faced Natural Eye palette, steps and swatches are shown above. The cards in this palette make it incredibly easy to create a fast & easy look on the go or at home. This is definitely my favorite look from the palettes (i pulled this one from my tumblr blog: threelilbears) and i'l be showing you some more very soon!

EOTD: Naked & Natural

Today I combined some shades from my Urban Decay Naked, and Too Faced Natural Eye palettes. I started by using UD Primer Potion then I applied....

'Silk Teddy' from Too Faced as a highlight on brow & inner corners
'Push-Up' from Too Faced on inner half of lids & on bottom lashline
'Toasted' from Urban Decay on outter half of lids
'Cocoa Puff' from Too Faced shaded into outer corners.
'Creep' from Urban Decay as eyeliner on top lashline

I used Good Karma eyeshadow brush from Urban Decay, Ecotools shading & eyeliners brushes, and finished it off with CoverGirl LashBlast mascara in black and black eyeliner from AVON.

Too Faced Natural Eye Palette

A couple months ago I purchased this Too Faced Natural Eye palette from sephora.com. I had been wanting it for so long but couldnt justify spending $35 on a single eyeshadow palette. 

It comes with 9 neutral eyeshadows in shimmer, matte, and glitter, as well as a pullout compartment hiding an eyeshadow/eyeliner brush combo and 3 cards detailing different eyelooks for the palette.

PROS:
The 3 'look cards' that come with this palette are called Day, Fashion, and Classic. If you're a beginner or in a hurry, its best to use these cards at first. They are labeled and come w/ instructions for easy use. Natural Eye palette's eyeliner/eyeshadow brush is small but nice, and still good quality. I use the eyeliner brush quite often. All of the shadows are highly pigmented and very flattering. I use this palette nearly everyday and am pleased with it.

CONS:
Packaging is bulky and not suited for carrying in your purse or travel if you're looking to keep things compact. Three shadows are large, and the other six (the most used ones for me) are small. I wish they were all the same size. 'Nude Beach' is a glitter shadow and has MAJOR fallout, it gets all over my face everytime so i dont use it anymore.

Overall, i would definitely recommend this palette for anyone who loves nude/neutral eyeshadows, or beginners who want a soft feminine, easy to accomplish look.
