thebeautycupboard: I love Haight. Possibly because I love turquoise. This is actually a little lighter than it looks in the picture and has a beautiful shimmer to it. Maui Wowie (top marks for cute name) is a light gold with bucket loads of shimmer. Nothing like Half Baked from the naked palette though, its far paler. I swatched Smog and sat thinking I REALLY recognise this colour before realising oh yeah that’ll because its the same Smog that’s in my naked palette! It is a beautiful deep bronze though and i’m pleased to have it twice! I can’t make up my mind whether Bordello is pink or purple but I love it either way and this is coming from someone who thinks pink eyeshadow is a thing of the devil. I think i’d describe it as pink shimmer with a hint of lilac. Radium is similar to Haight but is slightly more of a deeper blue and has far less shimmer. Snatch (haha!) is a pale pink/ nude shimmer and is like a truly pink version of Bordello (which then makes me want to call Bordello purple!) Suspect is a light bronze with a hint of glitter. Almost an exact dupe of Sidecar. Psychedelic Sister is the main colour I used for my purple smokey eye and it is just so beautiful. A perfect mid tone purple with enough shimmer to notice but not enough to be overpowering. So there we have it! I really hope my swatches have been useful, please let me know if you liked them!
