Hey everyone! Today I have a post on dupe comparisons of my shadows. I've been wanting to do this post for a long time and it was a lot of fun testing out colors I suspected to be dupes. Some turned out to be right on and others not as much! Nothing is better than discovering that you already have a similar color to a shade you've been wanting. This is only half of the possible dupes, stay turned for a part 2 soon. All of these shades are shown over Urban Decay Primer Potion (left) and Darling Girl Glitter Glue (right).

I finally got a chance to play around with Femme Fatale Cosmetics Mood Ring eyeshadow, a gorgeous deep berry with a soft blue shift. I have a hard time pulling off bright red and pink eyeshadows, but I'm totally zen with berry shades, particularly when worn in the crease. I got lots of compliments on this look, which like NEVER happens irl, so it's pretty safe to say Mood Ring and I are about to get pretty serious :) 

I decided to pair it with Hello Waffle Cosmetics Heavy Breathing Cat, an interesting silver taupe with gold shimmer and some of my trusty matte neutrals (Thirteen as a transition shade, Half Full as a eyebrow highlight) from Blackbird Cosmetics pressed line. Right before getting ready for work, I received a lovely package from my exchange partner containing some products from a new-to-me indie cosmetics brand, Life's Entropy. Inside were a couple of pretty looking eyeshadows and two Lip Theory lip paints in Chaos (a beautiful brightened berry) and PKA (a warm marsala red). I decided to wear Chaos to compliment the wine tones in Mood Ring. HOLY CRAP. It's now been over nine hours and this color is STILL hanging on. I've been drinking water all day long and ate a salad for lunch so it has faded slightly into more of a stain but this pigmentation and longevity is outstanding. This is exactly what I wanted the OCC Lip Tars but from an independent business woman and at half the price. I've yet to try PKA but suffice to say, if the experience is similar to wearing Chaos, I'll definitely be purchasing some more! They have a new shade called Catalyst that looks to be in the same griege family as LC Cashmere. They offer sample test tubes of the different shades here, which is a great bang for your buck!
