Looks - Global Goddess Serengeti Tribal Eyeshadow Quad
For months, I have been drawn to Global Goddess’ products, because they just look so pretty. I recently received a few items from the brand to try out, and I am glad that I didn’t fork over the bucks myself. The review will follow this entry, so you can read about my experience with it, but suffice to say I wasn’t impressed and I think this look can even show you some of the trouble I had with it.
On a more positive note, it’s Thursday! The week is almost over — hang in there ladies 🙂
I used Global Goddess’s Sizzling Serengeti Tribal Eyeshadow Quad in Arusha on the eyes. I used the lightest color on the inner lid, the light purple on the middle of lid, and the brown color on the outer lid and crease. I used the lightest color to highlight the brow bone, and I finished using Graphblack technakohl and Plushlash mascara for lashes. I wore global Goddess’s Goddess Glow South Pacific Shimmer on cheeks, over Gentle mineralize blush (LE). I wore Cafe Matte Mattene (LE) with Red Romp lipglass (LE).

Gentle = Plum Foolery; Cafe Matte = Spirit; Red Romp = Venetian
Love the lip combo! The shadow is pretty however it doesn’t look like it’s anything special based on your review.. I think you did the best job you could with what you were workin with though! =D
Thanks, Trace! Cafe Matte is sooo brown on me, so I was like, “how can I pump it up?” Red Romp to the rescue!
Love the lips and cheeks. . . but I think you’re right about color payoff on the eyes! I’ve been intrigued by this brand myself, but maybe not so much anymore. Thanks for the review, Christine!
Thanks, Nicky! The pay off is OK, but you definitely have to pack it on, AND you get a lot of fall out (which is the real problem).
Luvin the cheeks an lippies.yea i agree with Trace shadow doesnt seems so unique.
Zzainy…
Thanks, Zainy!
never heard of that brand.
looks gorgeous as always.
Thanks, Kensie! It’s not a totally unheard of brand (it’s available at Nordstrom’s), but I’m not surprised you haven’t heard of it!
so pretty and soft!!
love the lips 🙂
gentle looks like coygirl believe it or not as well lol..i have plum foolrey as well..so “yay!!” either way 🙂
Thanks, Lala!!
Hm, Coygirl may be the better dupe! Plum Foolery is a bit darker!
I really didn’t think that it looked bad at all. I don’t know what trouble you’re talking about. I think it looks good. I mean, it may not be anything special or unique but it looks good I think. If you said you used MAC products instead, I probably wouldn’t have noticed a difference to tell you the truth!!
Hi Lil,
Oh, I don’t so much mean it looked awful or anything, just that it took a LOT of work to get it look as it did, you know? It’s hard to see the trouble I was having with the finished product, LOL, since the frustration came before 🙂
ur brows are also gorgeous!
Thanks, Can!
Hi Christine
I’m in love with your blog, you are such an inspiration!
I have to say everything tend to look good on you 🙂 but thank you for being so honest about your feedback. It’s such a nice and great change with these “all advertising” blogs.
Awesome!!
Cheers
Hi Fanny,
Thank you so much! 🙂 I try not to post too many of my total mistakes, LOL. I mean, I don’t want them to be memoralized for all eternity on the interweb!
I’m more of a positive person, so I don’t like to bash products, but I try to be honest if I don’t like a product or it didn’t work for me.
I love the lips but your eyes seem to get lost in this look. The shadows kind of blend all together- maybe it’s just the flash but are they too soft metallic? With the description of what you used, I thought it would look different. I can’t see any purple tones.
Hi Stephanie D,
They are all pretty soft and subtle colors, so I’m not surprised that they blend together a lot!
