Victorian Disco Cosmetics - Still A Better Love Story Collection Swatches and Review


Facebook | Shop

Today I'm bringing swatches of another Victorian Disco Cosmetics collection! This is a miniature collection as well and comes with the following colors:
  • I Should Be On Fire: Hot pink with rainbow sparkles. 
  • I'm 100 Years Older Than You, But That's Okay: Deepened plum with turquoise sparkles and a slight shifting red-green sheen.
  • Angry Italian Vampires: Deep black base with a blood red sheen. 
  • Bella's Range Of Emotions: Deep neutral brown, with more neutral brown and not a sparkle or sheen in sight.

If you haven't gathered by the names, the collection is based on Twilight
Also, if you are oblivious to sarcasm, the collection is a complete spoof.

If you need me to spell it out for you: The collection is a joke, and it is made to poke fun at the movie. Ashley is not genuinely in love with Twilight except for the fact that it has provided fodder for her spoof eyeshadow collection.

BFTE - Eyeshadow Swatches/Review Part Three

This is the last installment of BFTE Eyeshadows! This is a mismatched set so I wasn't even sure what to label it. I've got some green-ish shades, some grey, some clay-ish colors, and a darker crease color I love which is the standout from this batch. This installment has 7 shadows (I've reviewed 5 shadows in Part One and 6 in Part Two previously)!

To recap the BFTE series that have been featured on my blog, I'd like to make some quick universal notes on how the shadows have fared in my opinion!

  1. You cannot skip the primer to use these shadows. Applying over bare skin = not smart. You need pixie epoxy, mixing medium, a damp brush, a cream shadow base, and/or primer - whatever your methodology is, you're going to need something for the colors to stand out true to jar color!
  2. Because this is loose and finely milled shadow, you must apply to the eyelid by patting on the color rather than sweeping it across. That will get you nowhere!
  3. Some of the matte shades were disappointing =/ I'm much more satisfied with the matte shades from Pumpkin & Poppy - Don't worry, I'll get to them soon :)
  4. My favorite BFTE shades from what I own have been Wanted, Marigold, Whimsey, Riveted, Navy, and Paranoid :)
