First Thoughts
Cheeky Cosmetics is one of the first mineral makeup companies I ordered from. They are Canadian, which is what first attracted me, and I've ordered twice now. My experience has been all positive – great customer service, fast shipping, and nice products. Shipping is also reasonable - $2 in Canada, $2.50 to the U.S., and $5 everywhere else.
Eye Shadow (3 gram jar $6, 5 gram jar $12, samples $1)
Overall, I’m impressed with the quality of Cheeky Cosmetics eye shadows. They come in a variety of finishes (matte, glow, shimmer, and sparkle) and there is a good selection of colours. On their website, sparkly eye shadows are described as sheer if applied dry and metallic if foiled. I find that a lot of these really do need to be foiled to show up vibrantly, otherwise a number of them end up looking kind of silvery and pretty similar to one another. Also, while some colours exactly match what’s shown on their website, some don't, so samples are a good idea. Samples come in clamshell containers. I'm not sure exactly how much product they contain - they aren’t the biggest samples offered in the MMU world, but they are plenty big enough for several applications and to see if you like a colour.
All swatches are dry on bare skin. Sorry for the less than perfect quality of some of them - I'm still working on lighting to make them show up the most true to colour.
