02.19.13 - Darling Girl: Cute de Grace

This is my most recent order from Darling Girl Cosmetics (made over a month ago -_-; I'm so slow on swatching things...). I made this order because there were a few colors I really wanted...


 Everything was swatched over TFSI and most were swatched under an LED light.

My order had two samples...

Trust Fund

 Coco Loco
 L-R: Trust Fund and Coco Loco

Trust Fund 
 Trust Fund - Soft beige-gold

Coco Loco 
Coco Loco - Soft muted brown that has purple and blue shimmers

Eclipse (gift with purchase)

I'll be starting with the ones that aren't in the Cute de Grace Collection.

This was super hard to photograph. That's why I took it with a flash... It still doesn't show the amazingly awesomeness of this color :(

 Top-Bottom; L-R: Eclipse, Sirena, Don't Teal Me You Love Me

This color is gorgeous and almost impossible to photograph :( This was an extremely limited edition shade.

The swatch that the owner posted in the FB group

I couldn't get any of those colors to show up when I took my photos. They do look like the product photos, btw. It's probably just my lighting :(

Anyway, Don't Teal Me You Love Me is a deep violet that has a strong (when I say strong, I mean you don't even see the base color) turquoise sheen in certain light and a strong blue sheen in other light. 

It's truly a gorgeous color.

Now, onto the Cute de Grace Collection.

 Here's what the label looks like...

 KABOOM!

The End...

L-R: KABOOM! and The End...

 KABOOM!
 KABOOM!
 KABOOM! - This is a muddy copper (only way to describe it -_-; Words fail me!) that has a purple sheen and red shimmers.

 The End...
 The End...
The End...

This photo shows it more true to color. It's a purple shade that has a blue and purple shimmers

 The Countdown

Rapture

 
 Prophecy

L-R: The Countdown, Rapture, and Prophecy

 The Countdown
 The Countdown

 Rapture
 Rapture
 Rapture - Lavender with a hint of red sheen and golden shimmers

 Prophecy
 Prophecy
 Prophecy - Copper that has a golden-green (only way I can think of to describe it) duochrome

 Hope & Renewal

Winter Solstice

L-R: Hope & Renewal and Winter Solstice

Hope & Renewal 
Hope & Renewal 
Hope & Renewal - Soft golden beige that has a purple sheen

 Winter Solstice
  Winter Solstice
 Winter Solstice - Burgundy that has blue and purple shimmers. 

Honestly, this color is the most disappointing. It's sheer and patchy and kind of rubs down to a strange golden brown color. Maybe that's not a bad thing but I kind of wanted it to remain that burgundy color. :( Oh well. Only one color out of many that was a disappointment. ^_^
