FEVERshadow Hunger Games Inspired Eyeshadow Review



Indie polish maker FEVERlacquer decided to get into the eyeshadow game, and let me tell you, we are all winners because of it. 
Recently Casandra sent me a trio of colors based on the Hunger Games and I knew when I opened the envelope that I had something special.

(All swatched on bare skin, with no primer)

L-R: Rue’s Wildflowers, Effie’s Trinket, and District 12 Soot 
 
Rue’s Wildflowers is a delicate iridescent lilac purple with hints of pink shimmers in it. It’s very sheer, but build-able. Here I used three heavy handed swipes. 
Effie’s Trinket (my absolute favorite of the bunch), is a brassy and bold metallic gold with pink sparkles. It’s smooth like butter to apply, with ultimate color payoff.
District 12 Soot is a basic flat/matte black shadow. It’s much smoother than the average pressed matte blacks I’ve used before, and it is a lovely crease and liner shadow.

Here I used Rue’s Wildflowers in the corners, District 12 Soot at the crease and a lining of Effie’s Trinket, (Unfortunately it was raining and I had to use the flash to get a good shot). I had a time getting Rue to build without primer, but that was my own fault. 

In this picture I wore Effie’s Trinket and District 12 Soot, it is by far my favorite look. Effie glided on smooth as can be, and blended perfectly with District 12. 
I ended up wearing the last look for the rest of my day today with no drama or fall out, and had quite a few complements on it. My favorite of the trio was Effie’s Trinket followed by District 12, mainly because I like bright and bold. Don’t get me wrong- I don’t dislike Rue’s Wildflowers, I just don’t see myself wearing it as much as the other two. 
This trio will cost you $12.50, should you decide you want it (and you should), or, you can also buy them individually with a choice of loose shadow for $5 or cream shadow for $5.25. Also, they’ll be in pots, and not in sample baggies like mine.
