Darling Girl My Three Witches Collection: Looks

Re-Witched, Love’s a Witch, Witch Way Now, Hell Hath No Fury, Painted World / The Apocalypse, Not, Woogy, Just Harried, Blinded by the Whitelighter, Scry Harder

Yesterday I posted my swatches of Darling Girl’s My Three Witches collection . Today it’s time for the looks. This collection is very cohesive, in that all the colors are sparkly but somewhat subdued (especially when applied over just primer), so all the looks are in a similar vein, which should make them easy to wear.

Look 1: Hell Hath No Fury, Witch Way Now, Just Harried and The Apocalypse, Not

For this, I primed my lids then patted Witch Way Now all over the lid. I placed Hell Hath No Fury in the outer corner/crease and blended. I used Just Harried to highlight under my brow and mixed The Apocalypse, Not with superstar serum and applied it to my lower lashline. I finished with dark brown liquid liner, drawn with a strong wing, and mascara.

Look 2: The Apocalypse, Not, Just Harried and Re-Witched

I primed my eyes, including beneath and then patted Pixie Epoxy on top of my lids. I covered the Pixie Epoxy with The Apocalypse, Not, and used a pencil brush to apply some to the lower lashline as well. I blended out the edges using Just Harried and patted Re-Witched onto the inner corner. Then I lined my entire eye with black pencil liner and smudged it out with a brush. I used some of the liner on my brush to darken the outer corners. Then I finished with lots of black mascara.

Look 3: Woogy and Scry Harder

This is an attempt at a very subtle halo eye. I patted Scry Harder into the center of my primed lids, and applied Woogy to the inner and outer corners and blended it up towards the middle. I used a clean blending brush to soften the edges. I lined my eyes with pencil liner to finish it off.

Look 4: Just Harried and Love’s a Witch

For this, I applied primer and then patted Just Harried over the lid. I applied Love’s a Witch to the outer corner and blended. Then I finished with black winged liner and mascara. Easy and simple.

Look 2: Painted World and Blinded by the Whitelighter

I started by priming my lids. Then I applied Blinded by the Whitelighter all over the lid. Next I added Painted World to the outer corner and blended. I lined my eyes with a shimmery dark grey pencil liner and smudged it out with a brush. Then I applied Blinded by the Whitelighter to my lower waterline. I curled my lashes and put on mascara. This look feels Cinderella-y to me.Those are my five My Three Witches looks. All of them are pretty classic and easy to wear. The second one’s my favorite, because it’s the boldest and I love the hidden purple glitter in The Apocalypse, Not. Also, I’m just on a smoky eye kick right now. Which one’s your favorite?

Darling Girl My Three Witches Collection: Swatches

Today I’m reviewing the My Three Witches collection from Darling Girl Cosmetics. It’s a ten shadow collection, based on the TV show Charmed. I definitely watched Charmed with my sister when we were younger and have a soft spot for the show. Unlike some of the other collections I’ve reviewed, this one is more subdued, with a lot of neutrals and more subdued colors. Everything is super sparkly, though! It’s worth noting that the website swatches are more intense and saturated than I found the colors to be. To my eye, it’s an entire collection of subdued shades with a lot of sparkle.

Now for the swatches. Everything is swatched in natural light, over Urban Decay Primer Potion on the top/left and Pixie Eposy on the bottom/right. The lower right picture in each collage is in direct sunlight. Everything else is indoor natural light.

The colors: Painted World, Witch Way Now, Hell Hath No Fury and Re-Witched

The neutrals: Blinded by the Whitelighter, Scry Harder, Woogy, Just Harried and The Apocalypse, Not.

Re-Witched: “Shiny bright yellow gold with yellow gold iridescence and sparkle.” The description for this is spot on. It’s a sparkly bright yellow gold. It’s by far the brightest color in the collection, but it applies much sheerer over just primer if you want something less intense

Love’s a Witch: “Bronze pearl with pink undertones and a glint of pink sparkle.” To me this color is more of a reddish brown. In the bag it looks super red, but in looks it reads as a subtle reddish-orange brown on me.

Hell Hath No Fury: “Rich, sizzling burgundy filled purple undertones and sparkle.” I see this as a subdued purplish red. Over pixie epoxy it becomes more magenta and has a much stronger sheen.

Witch Way Now: “Pinky champagne beige.” This is a nice champagney pink with a fair bit of sparkle. It’s a type of neutral color that I love and find super easy to wear.

Painted World: “Warmed  pearly blue melded with khaki and silver tones and a scattering of blue sparkles.” I see this as a light blue with a silvery sheen, that turns warm in certain lighting. It feels like a Cinderella color to me, and is pretty sheer over primer.

Blinded by the Whitelighter: “A thousand orbs of silver dancing in the sunlight.” This is a straight ahead, slightly sheer sparkly silver. It works well in the inner corner.

Scry Harder: “Gunmetal taupe with champagne tones.” I see this as a taupe with a green sheen. The sparkles in this one look almost purple. It’s noticeably more opaque and shiny over pixie epoxy, but it also stained my arm slightly blue where the pixie epoxy had been.

Woogy: “Deep brown with champagne tones.” This is a pretty straightforward sparkly brown. It’s the darkest color in the collection, but it’s still just on the deeper end of medium to me.

Just Harried: “Champagne with subtle blue sparkles.” This is a really pretty, easy to use champagne. It’s sheer over primer, but the sparkles still show up. The sparkles are sort of blue-violet, but their color is only noticeable if you look closely. This is the lightest color in the collection

The Apocalypse, Not: “Rich antique gold with contrasting blue sparkles.” This is a bronzy tarnished gold color with big purple sparks. It’s almost equally pigmented over primer as over pixie epoxy. It’s one of my favorites since it’s so rich and the purple sparkle is unexpected.

Overall Thoughts: I think this would be a really good collection if you wanted something with a little bit of color and sparkle but that was still on the conservative side. All of the colors fit well together, but there’s not a lot of contrast. Most everything is medium-dark and everything has a very sparkly finish, which led to a fair bit of fallout during application. (But, this was only a problem for me during application, not when I was wearing them.) The looks I created all had a similar vibe, with a lot of simple, subtle looks. Nothing too crazy here! It’s also worth noting that the collection is no longer available in sample bags (at least all at the same time), since Susan now limits samples to five per order. The bags I got are a variety of sizes and thicknesses, with some being of noticeably better quality than others.

Stay tuned for the looks. They’re all easy and wearable, cuz that’s this collection’s thing.

And the looks are here!

FOTD: Sparkly Teal Smoky Eye

When I sat down to do this look, I thought “I’ll just do something simple, like the smoky eye I did the other day, but more colorful.” Wrong. It started out simple, but then I made myself feel slightly extraterrestrial, like a weird robot-alien hybrid. So much sparkle. So many cool colors. Plus then I pretty much erased my lips. It’s a little weird looking, in a fun “I’m pretending I’m an alien” way.I do like it, though. Makes me want to watch space movies. Eyes:

• Notoriously Morbid Jupiter Rain
• Hello Waffle Mozart
• Darling Girl Blinded by the Whitelighter
• Stila Air (from the In the Know palette)
• Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
• Urban Decay Primer Potion (Original)
• Kat Von D Tattoo Liner
• Maybelline Great Lash

Face:

• MAC Face and Body foundation in N1
• Laura Mercier Secret Concealer in 1
• MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Light
• Shiro Revive

Lips:

• Smashbox lip gloss in Pout

For this, I started with the same smoky eye over pixie epoxy tutorial from a few days ago, but then I branched out. I primed my eyes, added the pixies epoxy, patted Jupiter Rain, a sparkly teal, all over the lid and under the outer half of the lower lashes and blended the edges out with Mozart, a steely grey. Then I added Blinded by the Whitelighter, a bright pale silver, to the inner half of the lower lashes, and highlighted under my brownbone with a matte vanilla shadow. I lined my upper lashline with black liquid eyeliner but did not add a wing. I curled my lashes and added mascara. Then I did my usual face stuff, using Revive, a super pale shimmery blush, on my cheeks. I finished with a very, very pale milky pink lipgloss, which pretty much turned my lips the same color as my skin.

Not at all what I planned on for today, but it’s fun and I like it. I’m gonna keep playing with this smoky eye over Pixie Epoxy technique, and see if I can do it with a bright color that looks a bit more normal than this. (Also, I’m totally not sure I actually look like an alien to anyone who’s not me. But I feel like one for sure!)
