GlamourDoll Galore! (Part 6, Greens!)

Olivia Green was an Immature Drag Queen, a Trend Setter and known Backstabber who lived on the Upper East Side. her Big Brother was fraught with Jealousy, even though he was considered Greased Lighting, while he sipped his Apple Martini.


Kay, so that one didn't work out too well. And i apologize for the HUGE hiatus. I've been MIA this whole semester due to school and personal life etc. You know how it is. 


But! I may start doing youtube videos. I have 2 up that are just slidshows for a makeup contest held by Nikkie, (of Nikkietutorials,) Klairedelysart, and Frmheadtotoe. And i also think that it'd be a heck-of-a-lot easier to just say colour descriptions rather than type them all out. Whaddya think!?


Here'sLINK to my first Glamour Doll Eyes post.. it shall tell all!


-Drag Queen * - A matte bluish green base with gold and purple shimmer in it. Not a TON of shimmer, but enough to get the look across. A base might be nice to get the shimmer to really show.


-Radioactive * - Matte teal greenish that's pretty decently bright. This doesn't "stick" as well as some of the other mattes, so a sticky base would be handy. Like a NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil or something.


-Immature * - Kelly green shimmer tinged with a bit of teal, but the gold shimmer that's in it makes it look more green than teal when it's on.


-Shamrock * - This great colour is a bright-light true green shimmer/frost finish. Its super smooth and blendable. You can use it dry, no base for a wash of colour, dry with a base for a stronger hit of blendable colour. Or! use it wet for super strong, punchy green.


-Backstabber * - matte black base with a TON of true green and a bit of gold shimmer in it. This makes it a super fun and versitile colour. If you pat it on dry, it looks like a dark green shimmer, but if you blend it our dry, it looks like a grey with some green and gold shimmer on top. But if you use it wet it looks like a super strong green with a touch of gold colour, while still being dark.


-Trend Setter * - This look like the same blend of a black base and shimmer as in Backstabber, but instead of green and gold shimmer, this one has green and bluish aqua shimmer in it which makes it a completely different colour.


-Upper East Side - Muted matte dark olivey green with silver shimmer throughout. It does look very Gossip Girl, does't it? 


-Jealousy * - A tad bit of matte black works with the green and gold shimmer. It is just enough to darken the colour when used wet. Actually, the green/gold shimmer looks a tad bit duo-chromey. Like turn the swatch one way and it looks green, turn it the other way and it looks gold. This is one of my favourites out of all of them!


-Martini Olive * - Flat, velvety matte dark olive green. This was released in one of GlamourDollEyes' holiday collections previously, and they worked it into their permanent collection. It almost looks blackened, but it doesn't look as if she added any matte black to it. p.s. the swatch looks like it has some shimmer, but that was just some really stubborn shimmer that i couldn't get off from the previous swatch.


-Olivia Green * - A matte Green green, with a little bit of yellow undertones, which gives it that olivey feel. 


-FrankenGlamour * - This colour is suppperr amazing! Its almost a lightish lime green, but it has a yellow sheen. Its very fresh and bright, and it has shimmer without being *I HAVE SPARKLES ON MY EYES*....which i guess is why Vee describes it as a sheen rather than shimmer. This colour came out with the  2010 halloween collection, but now tis permanent! 


-Big Brother (Emmett) * - *this isn't in their permanent collection, it's part of the Twi-Shadow's collection!* Its a muted grey shimmer colour. Its warmed up a bit with a touch of a yellow tone.


-Sarcasm * - Matte blackened olive green base with a greened up gold shimmer. Super pretty!


-Oddity * - Matte olive green base (like Olivia Green) with bright greened up yellow shimmer on top.


-Apple Martini * - A matte apple green base with silver shimmer on top. Just like an apple martini! The colour description on the glamourdolleyes site says it also has purple and pink shimmer, which may show more when applied wet.


-Grease Lighting * - Blackened Gold shimmer. So fantastic! Its moody, and it looks as if it has a touch of green to it? It may just be my eyes though. Lovely colour!


* Colours marked with an "*" are Vegan


>Midterm Exam!
These exams will be a touch different since I didn't buy the full-size jars of every colour, and also, i'm reviewing one colour family at a time. I'll score the product as an overall rating, according to the range of colours in this particular family, and also the overall quality. I'll score the value according to the price of full jars. I'll score the packaging according to how well they were packaged for shipment. And finally, i'll score ease of use
 according to use out of the plastic baggie, but otherwise normally.


Product: 51/60
Value: 18/20
Packaging: 8/10
Ease of Use: 8.5/10

>Did they pass?

 All of these greens lean a but yellow for me. I'd love to see her add in more true greens or blueish greens. But I LOVE all of these, since i have green eyes, they really compliment them well. These got an 85.5%


>Photos time!

The colours look a tad bit washed out, its just because they're mostly shimmer colours and my remote flash was NOT having it.







Tell me what your favourite green shadow is!
