What Lovely Colors My friends - Package review from Dark Heart Designs Cosmetics

Hiya exceptionally special blog followers :)

I am here with you today to show off a package I just recently purchased from ( well 2 months ago just getting around to it though ;)) Dark Heart Designs . I have actually been a customer for over a year now, but also starting promoting for them last year as well, however that does not affect how I feel and giving my honest opinion.

 

Lets start with what I ordered shall we...

I think one of my favorite things that got me about this company to boot, was the makeup packaging. You can not see it here, but the full size jars come plastic sealed, red string attached with makeup ingredients. You also get a plantable thank you card. The name of the colors are on the bottom of each jar. The full size (pictured below) has the name and DHD on the sticker. These hold and mine always have from 1.75-2 grams of product stuffed inside :)

The sample size containers come in clamshells and have the name and ingredients on the bottom.

However I do believe now she packages your entire purchase and adds a "scroll" inside with the ingredients for full size containers, instead of tying little strings on each individual jar. Which to me is now a lot easier and less time consuming, untying all the little strings and pulling ingredients off :) But I did think that was adorable and drew me in..lol

The only thing I did not like was sifters inside, but they have now made the option to get them with or without, so my problem was solved.

 

And on with the swatches - It's my favorite part, so it must be yours..lol

NOTE: All swatches and photos have been taken with a flash by my window.

 

The first color I would like to share is Transparent

Store description: A medium to light natural brown shadow.
Inspired by Porcelain & The Tramps Transparent.

I would like to add that it also has a beautiful shimmer - it tends to give a gray looking hue as well, I guess depending on the lighting and photo.

 

Next one I will do is Carnival Queen

Store Description: A vibrant lemon yellow shadow with yellow sparkle. Inspired by my life in the carnival industry and the bright colors and beauty of the shows. I find this description very accurate.

 

This one is Absinthe
Store description: A bright cool-toned green shadow with a champagne sheen. Inspired by the liquor Absinthe, and the green fairy myth.
This color was a bit tricky to me to capture, this photo is with a flash, but without a flash it was quite a bit darker. I also like to use it with a foiling serum and it makes a gorgeous liner.

Okay and one of my favorite colors I'm going to show you is Shallow Grave
Store description: A medium brown shadow with red sparkle and red & green undertones.
This color sparkles like no other! for a brown/champagne color as I like to call it, it is stunning.

my next pick to show you is Wine red
Store description:
A burgundy wine colored shadow.
Inspired by the Hush Sound's Wine Red.

I find this to be between burgundy and rose colored with silver sparkle

This color is called Storybook
Store description: A pale rusty red with green sheen and aqua sparkle. Inspired by the popular new fairytale t.v. show, Once Upon A Time.

 

This color is called Pumpkin King

Store description: A dark orange/bronze shadow. Inspired by Tim Burton's Jack Skellington of The Nightmare Before Christmas.

I think the description matches, but more of a bronze then an orange with the flash on.

 

And last, but certainly not least I have here Strange Boy

Store description: A smokey forest green shadow with green sparkle and copper undertones.

I find this color to be more of an aqua color, than forest green, but none the less still gorgeous :)

 

Dark Heart Designs eyeshadows are smooth and blendable and I have a ton of them, but this was just a few I recently received, so I thought I would share :)

Almost everything that is sold is vegan and cruelty free, if there is a product that is not vegan, it is marked as so (which I think there is very few, like the reds).

 

I also as a consumer highly recommend this company.

They were having a bit of shipping delays during and from the holidays, but will be back on schedule very soon. Oh and if there is delays, the owner always contacts you to let you know, so I find that to be amazing customer service :)
