Aqua Girl
Give Me Glow Aqua Girl Foiled Pressed Shadow ($7.00 for 0.105 oz.) is a medium, green-leaning teal with subtle, cool undertones and a bright, metallic finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, cream-like texture that was moderately emollient, dense but not too thick or too firmly-pressed into the pan. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half 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.).

These are really nice looking. However, I feel like between my having your SG palettes and Menagerie Cosmetics Flight Club, I have far better quality dupes for every last one.
Aqua Girl and Blue Moon are beautiful and Iāll buy them. I love the idea of foil shadows. I remember eons ago when Bare Minerals launched on QVC and Leslie Blodgett would show how to foil her shadows, I immediately did it upon receiving them. To me and for me makeup should be not matte or one dimensional. These are perfect!
Beautiful jewel shades – especially Aqua Girl. But yours, Christine – Earthbound and Flying High are my favourites.
Aqua Girl is very pretty and I don’t have a dupe, but I love the peacock, mermaid shades. Have TM Grapetini, SG Boy Crazy, and the SG x Temptalia palettes, Aurora, Glossover, Earthbound, Jealousy’s Descent and Galactic Muse mixed with a single do come close to these shades. My faves have been using Glossover with Earthbound, which creates the prettiest blue-green tinged pewter, and Glossover with Jealousy’s Descent to make icy aqua. š
Iām to royal and blue moon are going on my list for my next purchase. They will look great with unicorn skin, dragons blood or zenon.
