Glamour Doll Eyes Big City Colors – Swatches & Review

I just received eye shadows from the newest collection from Glamour Doll Eyes (affiliate link) collection, Big City Colors. The colors sent to me were Chicago, Denver, New York and Las Vegas.

I was really excited by them, so I had to swatch them right away.

I love the jars that they’re in! They’re so cute with the silver lids!




Chicago is a gorgeous shade of blue with a slight purple undertone. It also has some gold and silver sparkles.

To me this looks like a pretty wintery blue with a slight purple duochrome.

New York is a metallic white, almost silver color with blue and silver reflects throughout.

This color is a bit of a chameleon! It looks silver, silvery blue, white, iridescent. I really think it’s lovely.

Denver is a pearly black with red, blue and purple sparkles throughout.

This is a pretty soft black with rainbow iridescence. It’s reminiscent of Fyrinnae’s Immortality.

Vegas is a darker green with purple, gold, turquoise and red sparkles.

This is a really nice darker green shade, and I really love the multi-colored sparkles in it. I want to try it with Pixie Epoxy as I think it will make a great holiday shade.

There are 4 other colors in the collection.

Miami is a gorgeous shade of yellow that also has red reflects in it.
Philadelphia is a gorgeous brick-ish type red with TONS of gold reflects.
Pittsburgh is a blackened gold. A very dark gold with black undertones.
Seattle is a light gray with an blue tint as well as purple, blue and green sparkles.

The other two colors I want to try the most are Pittsburgh (with my gold obsession lately I’m sure no one is surprised) and Seattle.

I’ll be doing a look soon with New York and Chicago.

I think these are gorgeous, well made eye shadows. I’m constantly impressed with how Vee is always improving her eye shadow quality and the depth of the colors she now makes. She’s come so far from when I first tried her shadows!

These eye shadows are $9 for 1 teaspoon of shadow in a 10 gram jar.

So tell me, what do you think of the Big Cities collection? Have you tried them? Do you see anything you like?

Sample products were sent for my consideration. All opinions are my own.

      Vegas looks like it will be really intense on the lid!

    Loving these, especially Chicago!

    Do you use any special camera settings for your swatch photos? Mine always turn out kind of blah at best, no matter what I try!

    I have still yet to purchase anything from them yet. . . ugh . . a combination of no money, and I keep forgetting.

    Now that I make my own shadows mainly I find it hard to buy from other, but I do every once in a while because I like supporting them.

    Thanks for the lovely swatches!!! I may have to head over there soon, and pick some stuff up!!

    I think Vegas looks the most enticing to me. I’ve never tried any of the Glamour Doll Eyes makeup before, although I’d like to.

    I actually really like the look of Denver, considering those kinds of shades are usually my worst enemy XD
