Hey everyone, today is Sugar Skull Minerals swatch time! This is my first official order, as the other two I received were complimentary for review. I purchased 12 sample baggies for $1.25 each and received a free sample as well. I already have another dozen in my cart, waiting for whenever I have some spare money. ;3
Now, please ogle these fabulous eyeshadows and don't forget you can click to view them better!

Swatched with my fingers over Darling Girl Glitter Glue:
Indirect natural light: Ego, April, Classy. Bottom row: Indian Summer, Crystal Ball, Sandman.
Direct natural light: Ego, April, Classy. Bottom row: Indian Summer, Crystal Ball, Sandman.
Flash: Ego, April, Classy. Bottom row: Indian Summer, Crystal Ball, Sandman. This one shows the "glow" best; these colors are so glowy!
Indirect natural light: First Date, Insomnia, Velocity. Bottom Row: Vegas, Back-Sass, Conundrum.
Euphoria was my free sample shade; it's a gorgeous grape with fun pink and blue sparkles.
Euphoria, direct light from window.
Direct natural light: First Date, Insomnia, Velocity. Bottom Row: Vegas, Back-Sass, Conundrum.
Flash: First Date, Insomnia, Velocity. Bottom Row: Vegas, Back-Sass, Conundrum.
Flash: Euphoria

All the colors are super smooth and pigmented. Euphoria is a tiny bit gritty because of the glitter, but I haven't tried it on my eyes yet. Classy is described as a 'darker mauve shade' and I guess it sort of is when blended out; you can see my swatch is pretty rich because it's over glitter glue and not really blended out. It is suuuper smooth and dense with a slight satin finish, so pretty. Crystal Ball is one of my favorites so far, I love the red duochrome and coppery glitter. First Date is a great neutral, kind of a silvery pinky-taupe that looked almost metallic over glitter glue. Back-Sass is a nice minty aqua shade with a bit of violet sheen.

I highly recommend trying Sugar Skull Minerals if you haven't yet; they often run sales for their Etsy shop on their Facebook page, so be sure to give them a Like!
