Tropical
Glaminatrix Tropical Foiled Eyeshadow ($8.04 for 0.06 oz.) is a vivid coral-red with warm undertones and barely-there gold and cool pink pearl. It had opaque color payoff paired with a slightly firmer, moderately dense texture that was smooth to the touch. The product applied well to bare skin and diffused nicely along the edges without losing its intensity. It lasted well for eight and a half hours before showing signs of fading.

Sherbet
Glaminatrix Sherbet Foiled Eyeshadow ($8.04 for 0.06 oz.) is a bright, pink-red with subtle, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. The texture was slightly firmer compared to most of the brand’s shimmers, but it wasn’t “firm” or stiff at all, so I had no trouble picking up product and applying it to my lid. The eyeshadow had rich pigmentation and wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading visibly.

Sprite
Glaminatrix Sprite Duochrome Topper ($8.77 for 0.06 oz.) has a peachy-coral translucent base with duochrome sparkle that shifted from pink to cooler violet. It had a soft, more loosely-pressed texture, which still picked up well with a dry brush so long as I’d pressed/patted it into place first, but it had the least fallout when applied with a fingertip or a dampened brush. I didn’t experience additional fallout during wear, though, and the color stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours.

Formula Overview
$8.77 -
The brand doesn't have any real specific claims on their eyeshadows, but the swatches they showcase show their line of eyeshadows to be pigmented. The exception would be shades classified as "Duochrome Toppers," which have a translucent base, though they are packed with shimmer and tend to show up more opaque as a result (both my in experience as well as in their swatches).
The brand has three primary finishes: matte, foiled, and duochrome topper. The matte eyeshadows, which sometimes are classified as matte pressed pigments, are very pigmented, silky-smooth, and blendable, but they are incredibly powdery in the pan. I was surprised that I didn't get much fallout during application, but there was a lot of excess powder kicked up in nearly every matte shade I tested out even when I tried to use a light touch. I found that the ultra finely-milled formula tended to adhere well to bare skin and was more forgiving of dryness than the average matte eyeshadow.
The foiled eyeshadows are high-shine with soft, more loosely-pressed textures (on the whole) that picked up readily with a dry brush, had good adhesion, and had minimal to light fallout, depending on the shade. The shades were higher shimmer seemed more loosely-pressed, while the shades that yielded more of a metallic sheen/pearly sheen were more firmly-pressed (in comparison).
The duochrome toppers are similar to the foiled eyeshadows, but they had higher sparkle/shimmer in them with a translucent base, so the more it was sheered out, the more translucent it appeared. If one picked up and patted it onto the lid, the effect was fairly pigmented. I had a little bit of fallout during application using this finish dry, so I'd recommend using them with a fingertip or a dampened brush for application.
Overall, the formulas are impressive across the board with only a few shades that were under-performing--and they typically were shades that tend to be harder to get perfect (e.g. matte purple). I enjoyed working with the eyeshadows and putting together looks, as they were easy to work with, delivered on pigmentation and blendability, and wore between eight and nine hours on bare skin.

Glaminatrix is one of my favorite indie brands. They make superior eye shadows. I buy their palettes but these singles are pretty too. Glad they scored well.
Sprite! Both the soda and the eyeshadow! That is some kind of beautiful magic right there!
Just ordered Glaminatrix’s Christmas eye shadow palette ” Silent Night”. It looks real pretty. They usually sell out fast so I’m happy to get mine early!!
Yay! The palette looks so pretty!
Sprite is a gorgeous shade and all of these, whilst too reddish for me, look beautifully pigmented. So pleased that they have rated well.
I really like Sweetheart and Tropical. I’d probably not use them together though. I’m also not sure if I could get away, using Tropical.
Unfortunately the brand seems to only have the Christmas palette at the moment. It looks lovely especially the blues, however I very rarely, if ever use orange-y shades.
Bloom is so so so cute in the pan! I love a marbled pan so much.
Never heard of this brand, so must checkout. But can anyone tell me it they use much red, strawberry colors on their eyes? Truly I can’t see it and I do like bold looks.
