A while back at the recommendation of friends, I decided to try out Virus Insanity Eyeshadows. They had some interesting looking duochromes and other colors. So I placed two orders in quick succession, picking up several samples and a few full size colors.

These were all swatched on top of Gosh Eyeshadow primer.

Techno
a peachy orange with tons of iridescent rainbow glitter and silver rainbow hologram glitter

My Take
Vibrant peachy orange with iridescent glitter and pink iridescence.

XTC
a pinkish purple with tons of rainbow iridescent glitter and silver rainbow hologram glitter.

My Take
Vibrant purple with iridescent glitter

Glowstick
a blue toned teal with tons or rainbow iridescent glitter and silver rainbow hologram glitter

My Take
Vibrant teal blue with iridescent glitter

Unicorn Puke
a deep blackened green that shifts to a rose color

My Take
Deep, rich green on a charcoal base with mossy green iridescence

Four Leaf Clover
a teal with iridescence that shifts from turquoise to blue to purple

My Take
Midtone warm coral pink with golden green iridescence

Superbia
a pinkish purple with iridescence that shifts from red to copper to gold

My Take

My Take
A blackened navy base with teal iridescence.

a shimmery medium brown with iridescence that shifts from green to gold to purple

Would I recommend?
Yes. I found the eyeshadows to be beautifully pigmented. The color descriptions were fairly accurate. I couldn’t coax all of the duochromes to show up, but I did the best I could. The colors last forever on primer for me. I hit the 20 hour mark without showing wear. The colors blend easily, too.

While I do find the website design to be unique, I dislike that it has no search functionality. When I let the company owner know that, she told me that the site was being redesigned. So rejoice! There will be better navigation soon.

Virus Insanity has a good mix of colors; there’s something for everyone. With multiple collections ranging from True Blood to Disgustingly Cute, there’s a lot of fun product names. Fangtasia, Haunting, Pinch Me, Cotton Candy, Rave, Lollipop and Medusa are all on my ‘Must Try’ list.

Have you tried Virus Insanity? Are you a fan?
