2nd Rock and Republic Eyeshadow Haul & Swatchesl!!

So I made one more R&R haul on hautelook last month and picked up a few more eyeshadows since they are being discontinued! Here's some pics and swatches of what I got!

Ambition (will have to re-do this pic!): shimmery yellow- gold that flashes yellow and gold and cream
Chronic: forest green
Envy: dark emerald green
Twisted: blue based purple
Ambition, Chronic, Envy, Twisted
All my R&R babies

Tried to show some comparison swatches above!
-Ambition: couldn't really find a dupe in my shadows. Mac Creme de miel is not as shimmery and is more yellow
-Chronic: Nouveau Monde is much more olive than green
-Envy: same color family as Mac Humid but richer and darker
-Twisted: Nocturnelle is more red based. UD Purple Haze is in a similar color family but has more of a sheen and is a bit lighter. Twisted also has more blue in it than Purple Haze.

The quality of the shadows is really wonderful. Buttery, blendable, pigmented, and long-lasting. Get your hands on them if you can!
