Recently I was contacted by the lovely Shantle who created the Face Candy Couture eyeshadow range. Her company is just starting out and she asked if I would try a few products and let you know what I think so here goes…
Over the last week I’ve worn all 6 colours I received (sometimes combining 3 colours in 1 look) and I’ve got compliments every single time I’ve worn them. Gotta be a good sign, eh? :)
Carribbean Dream, Lavender Fields and Smurfette
Each pot comes with 1.2 grams of powder and the jars have a little sifter so you can shake out what you need, making them much less messy to apply than some loose powders (Yep, that means you Dazzle Dusts!)
The little sifter on each jar - very handy indeed but I removed it from the jars so you can get a good look at the colours!
The powder is extremely finely milled so it’s easy to apply and blend; even though there’s quite a lot of glitter in some of them they’re still seriously smooth. I always use a primer when before I apply loose powders and I’ve found these to be so highly pigmented that the colour comes off on my lid exactly as it looks in the pot. Dunno about you but I often find you need to apply LOADS of product in order to make the colour come off as strongly as you’d like!
Pinky Star, Harvest Moon and Copper Bliss
To be honest I haven’t found a single fault with these so far – I love everything from the cute names to the beautiful shades and I shall be ordering a few more as Christmas pressies for my makeup obsessed friends
Did I mention you can get free samples from the website?
Oh oh oh!! Nearly forgot! I'm gonna be posting a giveaway so you can win some of these fantastic shadows so keep an eye out ♥

These sound promising, and I agree - it was a very short weekend!
xo
Hey lovely, you should do an eye of the day post so we can see for ourselves?? Pretty please :)
Just went to the site, the colors look nice and well pigmented.
Checking out the site for sure!!! I'm in major need of some new eye shadow that, you know, actually shows up!!
And yes, it was an incredibly short weekend...
Harvest Moon looks gorgeous! I hope you'll be making a post with their swatches ♥
Never heard of them before. They are pretty!
These sound great, i've not heard of them before either. I've just been reading your foundation post too. You have a lot there that i've been wanting to try xx
OMG OMG OMG giveaway (:
thanks Joy :P
The colours look really nice! And I love how a lot of powders are now coming with a same kind of sifter, as I think it is more hygienic and so much easier to use...
Wow another giveaway! You're too nice ^^
They look lovely, I'm off to have a look at the site! :-)
Oh wow, these look awesome!

They look like such great eye shadows! Thanks for introducing them to us :D
Ooooo these look like fun! I'm going to order some! Thanks!
the colors are so pretty... too bad i dont know how to use eyeshadow..i luv these tho
Thanks for all your fantastic comments!
Apologies for the lack of swatches…It’s been dark when I’ve been leaving for work and dark when I get home which has been a nightmare for taking pics cos I need natural light to ensure the colours look accurate. Pfft, doesn’t the weather realise it’s getting in the way of my blogging?!
Cheeky Beauty I’m building myself up to do an EOTD or FOTD post! Kinda camera shy so I’ve been putting it off for AGES!
Bibi I couldn’t agree more. I adore Barry Ms Dazzle Dusts but the little pots are a bit tricky, esp for a clumsy oaf like me. I’d love to take credit for the giveaway but it’s actually the lovely Shatle from Face Candy Couture who’ll be providing the goodies. Hurrah for free eye shadows!! :)
