(excuse my un-plucked brows - whoops!) 

Inner Crease - Seahorse Discourse 
Middle of Lid - Atlanteal 
Outter Lid/ Crease - Nautilus Prime (mixed with Jade-O-Lade from China Doll Palette
Above Crease - Coral of the Story 
Brow Bone & Tear Duct Area - Anonymous (from UD Vice Palette) 
Lower Lashline - Pearl-ple mixed with Atlanteal 

How would you wear these colors?! I can't wait to play around with them some more and post more looks!

Lime Crime China Doll Palette Review

I ordered Lime Crime's China Doll palette along with the Aquataenia Palette and I can't decide which I like more! Their both such different palettes that I can't decide more! I picked this up because I've always wanted a good matte red and yellow eyeshadow and the other colors in this palette are spectacular!
The China Doll Palette - Retails for $34.99. This palette comes with 5 amazing matte eyeshadows, perfectly blendable for any intense look you want to create!
Fly Dragon Fly, Parasol, Goldfish, Jade-O-Lade, Lotus Noir 

These eyeshadows are totally unbelievable! For matte shadows I couldn't believe how pigmented they were and how perfectly they blended out! These eyeshadows are just as smooth and buttery as the ones in the Aquataenia palette and I could go on and on! Below I took a close up of "Goldfish" to show you the gorgeous shimmer that is in it! And I'm obsessed with "Parasol" as well.
I could rant and rave about this palette all day, as well as the Aquataenia one! I am more than impressed with Lime Crime's products and I'll be purchasing more in the future! Are any of you hooked now that you've seen my past two posts?

Lime Crime Aquataenia Eyeshadow Palette Review

I'd been eyeing Lime Crime for the longest time and I finally took the leap to try out some of their eyeshadows! When I saw this palette, I automatically thought SPRING! SUMMER! And had to have it - of course.
The Aquataenia Palette - Retails for $34.99. 5 eyeshadows fit for a mermaid come in the always beautiful Lime Crime tin packaging. I will say, the actual piece that that holds the eyeshadows is just a flimsy piece of plastic - which I wasn't too impressed with, but I'll let it slide.
Nautilus Prime, Coral of the Story, Seahorse Discourse, Pearl-ple, Atlanteal

The eyeshadows themselves are amazing and make for any essential summery look. They're all smooth and buttery and glide on like a dream. Color-wise, these shadows have been compared to Sugarpill's Heartbreaker Palette, but as you can see in the swatch above these are much more shiny and frosted than Sugarpill's signature matte finishes. 

I love this palette already and am more than impressed with the quality! I can't wait to do a post with different ways to wear all of these fun colors!
