Here's another, better photo, courtesy of Latin Minx 79. (My camera is broken so I borrowed my mom's and hers isn't very good).

Blush Duo in Hungry Heart

These are swatches done on my hand. I noticed that the consensus of reviews on the internet are negative and claim that this product is just a glorified glitter. The two colours aren't very different from one another and when applied, they only provide a faint coat of micro-glitter. BUT...this is what I love about it! The micro-glitter is so pretty! It looks great pretty much anywhere on the face or body.

Again, look how crappy the photo is. Plus, my pan is just a mess!

So I borrowed this photo from Temptalia, who always takes spectacular product photos!

The quality of this eyeshadow is really sub-par for me, which is probably why my pan is so gross. I have to dig into it about 7 or 8 times just to get an even coat of colour on my eyelids, and of course that results in tons of fall-out. Even applied wet, it doesn't work for me. But I just love the colour so much that I refuse to give up on it. I will swatch these at a later time...perhaps when I get a new eyeshadow primer to show you the difference in application.
