Good afternoon! Darling Girl Cosmetics does a holiday collection each year and the theme for this year's release is Edward Scissorhands. Although you wouldn't necessarily think of the film as Christmas-related, there are a lot of winter-esque qualities to it and I think it's a really unique approach for a holiday collection. There are 12 eyeshadows, 2 pucker paints (DG's version of a matte liquid lipstick), 2 creme blush/lip colors, and a lip conditioning treatment in this set. 

On an unrelated note, Theindiemakeupblog reached 100,000 views this week! December 13 will be the one-year anniversary of this site so it couldn't have come at a better time. I want to take a second to thank each and every one of you who have taken a moment of their day to read my posts. Blogging has been an awesome experience and I truly appreciate all of the sweet comments I've received in the last year. I ordered the ring light I've been drooling over finally and I'm excited to be bringing you better quality eye looks and hopefully more tutorials as well! 

Getting back to today's post, I have swatches of 11 of the 12 shadows. Unfortunately I cannot for the life of me find the 12th shade, I'm Not Finished. I used it in one of the looks below and it's nowhere to be found now. If/when it shows up, I'll edit this post to include a swatch of it as well! 

Products were provided as press samples. All thoughts and opinions are my own. For reference, my skin tone is slightly lighter than an NC15, fair with warm undertones. Please view my disclosure policy for more information. Swatches are done half on Urban Decay Primer Potion, half over Darling Girl Cosmetics Glitter Glue. 

Hi readers! Today I'm finally getting up a complete look at my pressed palettes. I've previously posted a tutorial on how to press your eyeshadows and also an in-depth comparison on the different palette brands I own that you can view here. 

Pressing my collection has been a huge labor of love. However, I'm very happy with the results I've gotten and I feel like I get more use out of my eyeshadows this way. I've been fortunate in that I've only had a few shadow casualties (DO NOT press FF Star's Sorrow guys!). At this point, I've basically pressed all of my shadows except for mattes and shades that are heavy on the glitter or ultramarines. I didn't go over each shade name except for my Darling Girl palettes so if you'd like to know which any of these shadows are, leave me a comment below and I'll let you know! All of my palettes except for the large flower one are divided by brand. I know some people like to organize theirs by color but I found myself forgetting about a lot of shadows that way so by brand works best for me. 

Hi readers! I've taken a couple of weeks off from posting but I'm back today with a couple of eotd's I've done recently. Just as a sidenote, I post all of my makeup looks on my instagram account, even if I haven't posted them here. If you're on IG, let's be friends! Full product lists will be provided for each look.
