Victorian Disco Review: Crystalline Affections 'Wakka x Lulu'

Hello dear readers~ I am excited to bring you another Victorian Disco Cosmetics review. This brand has quickly crawled its way into my heart ♥ I love the geekiness of them and of course the eyeshadows themselves. After talking to the owner, Ashley, for a bit I can tell how dedicated she is to her customers and to her business. I highly suggest that you check the VDC Facebook page for daily updates, swatches, and more.

Crystalline Affections Collection 

 A collection inspired by Final Fantasy. Specifically, these are duos that represent some of the characters as a romantic couple. Super cute and unique!

Price and Availability

You can find these at the Victorian Disco Cosmetics Etsy store.

Full Size Duo - $8

Mini Size Duo - $4    

(I bought this on sale for $5)

Packaging

Super cute! Love the stickers on the jars! Remember that only the full size jars come with the stickers.

This is actually Tidus x Yuna but you can get an idea of what the packaging looks like.

 Review

     I originally purchased this duo because of Lulu. I am a fiend for anything purple, and Lulu caught my eye. But the star of the duo is most certainly Wakka! It is soooo pigmented and lovely. I have various coppers/oranges, and this tops most of them. The unqiueness of Wakka comes from its brightness and glowy nature. I mean, look at it! It looks fiery and and metallic!
     Lulu is absolutely stunning it its own way too. It looks different from different angles. As you can see from the swatches, the shimmers and glitter really pop at certain points, and at others, it looks more silver. I couldn't capture it well on my camera, but this also has a blacker and more purple look in most angles.
    I could only think of one negative thing of this duo and it is about Lulu. Lulu is pigmented like Wakka, but it tended to blend out a little more that I wished; I had to be a little careful not too over blend it. Other than that, there two are perfect!  And I surprisingly love the using them together. I will have an eye look up soon.
