Give Me Glow Deep Waters, Jade, Blue Jeans, Bubbles, Satellite, Icicle Foiled Pressed Shadows Reviews & Swatches
Deep Waters
Give Me Glow Deep Waters Foiled Pressed Shadow ($7.00 for 0.105 oz.) is a brighter, medium blue with slightly warmer, green-gold shimmer that gave it a shiny, metallic finish. The eyeshadow was richly pigmented with good adhesion to bare skin while blending out well along the edges. The consistency was smooth, lightly creamy, and moderately dense but picked up well with a dry brush. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before creasing faintly.

Formula Overview
$7.00/0.105 oz. - $66.67 Per Ounce
The brand offers matte and foiled finish eyeshadows, though the descriptions are largely the same: "highly pigmented," "blendable," and "finely milled." The difference is with the foiled finish eyeshadows, the brand cautions to use less because they're that pigmented and going in with a heavier hand could cause flaking.
The foiled eyeshadows are incredibly pigmented with a very smooth, creamy consistency that was dense without being too stiff or too firmly-pressed into the pan. I didn't have any issues picking up product with a dry brush, and they also worked well with fingertips or a dampened brush an even more intense, metallic finish that was ultra-shiny.
I found this finish to be more consistent, too, and it was rare to run into major issues with the shades in this finish. There were a few with a touch of fallout or that might have creased a bit faster over time, but by and large, they hit all the high notes for those who love pigmented, metallic eyeshadows. They wore between eight and nine hours, often creasing more than fading on me.
They come in oversized pans (relative to average size) at 37mm, and they contain double the product (0.10 oz.) the average eyeshadow does (0.05 oz.).

Jade
Give Me Glow Jade Foiled Pressed Shadow ($7.00 for 0.105 oz.) is a darker aqua with subtle, cool undertones and a bright, metallic finish. The texture felt more loosely-pressed, so I had to be careful picking up product to avoid an excessive amount of powder that resulted in fallout. It was very pigmented, so using a lighter-hand was very doable as a workaround. It lasted well for eight hours before creasing a little.

Bubbles
Give Me Glow Bubbles Foiled Pressed Shadow ($7.00 for 0.105 oz.) is a bright, medium blue with strong, cool undertones and a metallic finish. The consistency was a little thicker and more loosely-pressed, which resulted in light fallout during application. I’d recommend patting or pressing it into place and then blending, which helped to minimize fallout. It had nearly opaque color coverage that stayed on well for eight hours before creasing visibly.

Now this is my kind of finish on an eyeshadow! Love these foiled shades of blue and silver and the brand has done them really well. Jade, Blue Jeans and Deep Waters are my favs.
As someone who only occasionally wears blue metallic or shimmery eyeshadow, only the very clear water looking shade called Jade is one I’d love to get.
OK I like all of these!!
These are all lovely and well done. The two silvers are gorgeous.
I almost never wear blue eyeshadow but some of these are really beautiful and the finishes are what’s really grabbed me.
