I got two polishes, a fat balm, and a jar of Eyeko Cream.* I'm really pleased with them all!
*The cream was free with purchase as part of a promotion, but accidentally got left out of my order. After emailing them, they sent it off straightaway and I ♥ it, but that's why it's not in the pictures.
I got these two cool-toned polishes, Eyeko Vintage and Eyeko Pastel (shown here with Eyeko Rain, the other Eyeko polish in my collection). I was really wavering whether to get Pastel or not, but they sold out of the other ones I wanted, so I ended up getting it and was pleasantly surprised. On the website, it looks really similar to Eyeko Rain, which I already have (and love). After all, they're both light blues. In person, they are COMPLETELY TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Not even close. Here, look at the nail wheels.
Rain is grey-tinged, with hidden shimmer. Pastel is bright baby blue, with a true blue duochrome shimmer. They're totally different colors, though I can see how they might photograph similarly. Also, Rain is a one-coater dream to apply. Pastel is much more sheer, and would take 3 to 4 coats for full opacity. They're very different beasts.
Vintage is a really awesome polish too, but you'll hear all about it when I do the NOTD post. It's a true greeny turquoise, very pretty indeed. Less opaque than Rain, sadly, but I think I got away with 2 coats.
The fat balm is nice, too. It's Eyeko Fat Balm in toffee, a moisturizing lipstick in a fat little tube. It's meant to have a toffee scent, but it just smells lipsticky to me. It's a browny tan color, and I like it quite a bit. I've worn it several times and it seems to have good staying power.
Eyeko Cream is really versatile -- I'll post a full review soon -- and I'm finding myself using it almost every day. It's not a real skin cream, to be sure, but it's a great highlighter cum cream eyeshadow.
More Eyeko posts to come, as I start using these products!
