Addiction Elvissa Dream Spring 2014 Eyeshadow Finger Swatches

From left to right: 3AM, Dizzy Love, Private Beach.

No visit to Lake Town is complete without a trip to Cosmeme. Two weeks ago, Cutiefishball requested swatches of Addiction's Spring eyeshadows. Luckily Cosmeme has an Addiction counter.

3AM: a semi-frost vanilla with a soft yellow gold sheen.

Dizzy Love: a frosty ivory loaded with silver flecks.

Private Beach: a frosty nude-champagne loaded with gold and silver flecks.

From left to right: Morning Squall, Meeting at Dome, Cafe Mambo.

Morning Squall: a frosty lilac with gold and silver flecks.

Meeting at Dome: a dusty lavender-taupe with micro multicolored sparkles.

Cafe Mambo: a dirty olive with a satin finish.

Out of the six eye shadows, I found the flaky texture of Dizzy Love and Private Beach to be disappointing/problematic. You'll definitely need to invest in a product like Too Faced Shadow Insurance Glitter glue and use a patting motion to prevent fallout. Meeting at Dome, Cafe Mambo and 3AM were instant loves. Morning Squall is also beautiful, but it also suffers from a slight flaky texture.

Okay beauties, I have a very bad cold/fever and I'm starting to feel drained. I have a job tomorrow, so, I'm going to call it an early night and hope I feel better in the morning...cross your fingers for me.

Looking gorgeous one lipstick at a time.

3AM is a gorgeous highlight shade! Besides looking beautiful in the inner corners, #am also works on brow bone, Cupid's bow, cheekbones, bridge of the nose, etc.

Thank you for the get well wishes Toby :) I'm better now, but I still have this horrible cough that I just can't get rid of...annoying.

Safari Mode is a brighter green and Cafe Mambo is more muted/dirty. Oh, when's your birthday?

How is the cough now? Better, I hope?

Hmmm, I suppose I'll have to get both. My birthday's June 1. :)

Hey Toby, Happy Unbirthday! Did you pick up both shadows?

TobyJune 14, 2014 at 1:59 PM

I did end up picking them up, thanks! Now looking at fall collections (SUQQU! Addiction single shadows!) & weeping softly into my wallet.

So sorry to hear how ill you were -- my health also tends to tumble into disaster if I don't give it a chance to heal properly. :( Please take care of yourself!

I love both of those greens <3

If you want me to pick anything up for you, just let me know Toby :)

They are beautiful! Cafe Mambo actually ends up more of a dirty silvery taupe on me, & Safari Mode surprised me with the gold sheen. :D

That is incredibly kind. I may have to take you up on that for Suqqu fall -- that palette looks irresistible! :)

On me, Cafe Mambo is a dirty taupe-khaki green with a subtle silver sheen. It's the gold sheen in Safari Mode spectacular! Beautiful for Summer and Fall :)

I don't know why I never offered to get products for you before, sorry! No more extortionate prices for you! Actually, there were a few things I forgot to get from Dior Summer that sold out here. So, if you want to swap, let me know :D

You had offered, actually! I just felt bad about taking you up on it. What Dior Summer did you want? I can certainly take a look. Canadian prices are a bit higher than US ones, though, fyi. D:

No need to feel bad Toby :) I'm still on the fence on the Dior products, so I'll let you know.
