Shine by SD said, “Pat McGrath, hold my drink.” ** The “Golden Hour” name is not a misnomer. Shine by SD’s Golden Hour Series 2 is all about the golds! But, as you’ll see from my swatches and review below, these are not your mama’s gold eyeshadows!
I’m excited to be continuing my Shine by SD swatch party today with the Dynamic Duos collection. The collection features five pairs (duos) of dynamic duochrome shadows (duos). Duo(ble) entendre!
Devinah may have discontinued their Butterfly Kaleidoscope collection, but they made sure to replace those with even shiftier and shinier multichromes. I’ll take it! The Aurorae Flares, which were added to Devinah’s catalog in the fall of 2020, are bright and beautiful multichromes. They aren’t as flaky or textured as some of Devinah’s older multichromes. … Read more
Adept Cosmetics decided to end 2020 with a bang. In November, they released a brand new formula of their eyeshadows — ACI. With this new formula, they released their first premade eyeshadow palette, the Plain Jane palette, and four singles. But that’s not all! They also dropped a brand new empty magnetic palette with a … Read more
To close us out of the Stained Glass segment of this Clionadh swatch party, we have the Vibrant Multichromes. The Vibrant Multichromes are another new formula from early 2020. These shadows are true to their name. They are the brightest, most vibrant shadows in the Stained Glass collection. When I received the order containing these … Read more
Finally! My favorite part of the Stained Glass collection from Clionadh Cosmetics. The moment we have all been waiting for. The Jewelled Multichromes! I consider the Jewelled Multichromes the “crown jewels” (pun intended) of the Stained Glass collection (and probably the entire Clionadh collection). They are 20 rich, vibrant, ultra-metallic shades of color-shifting beauty. This … Read more
Clionadh released a few new Stained Glass formulas in January 2020, including the Hybrid Multichromes. These multichromes are considered hybrids of the Glitter and Jewelled Multichrome formulas. The colors are similar to the Jewelleds, but the textures are closer to the Glitters. If you like the intensity of the Jewelled Multichromes but want to play … Read more
This stop will be short and sweet. While the last stop of this swatch party covered the largest group in the Stained Glass collection, this one covers the smallest — the Pastel Multichromes. The Pastel Multichromes are four grungy pastel, muted multichromes. I personally love subtle multichromes like these, because I feel I can “get … Read more
With a whopping 23 shadows, the Glitter Multichrome shadows are the largest group of shadows in Clionadh’s Stained Glass collection. Don’t let the name fool you, though — these actually are free of plastic glitters. The textures of the Glitter Multichromes make them stand out among other multichromes. They kind of remind me of the … Read more
In January 2020, Clionadh Cosmetics launched the Deep Iridescent Multichromes as part of the Stained Glass collection. I’ve posted some of these swatches on Instagram, but recently decided to update my swatches of this collection. So more photos, more lighting conditions, you know the drill. This formula is a unique concept in the multichrome market. … Read more
