TKB Trading’s Irish Eyes collection

When I originally bought this kit (over a year ago, now) the three colors were only available in this kit. Now you can buy them separately…but if you want all three, buying this kit saves you some money.

The color makeup reminds me of BFTE’s Miss Behavior: two deeper shades that are also a bit close to each other; and a highlighter-ish shade. Both of the more colorful greens are cooler shades, almost turquoise-green or aqua-green. All three colors are straight micas, so if you wear them without a primer and possibly a base of some kind, expect a bit more fade and fallout than you typically get from loose-powder eyeshadows from Shiro, Sugarpill, Morgana, My Pretty Zombie, or most other longstanding reputable indie companies who, if they do sell any shades that are close to unblended micas, generally add base mix to help with application and adhesion.
