Melt Cosmetics Baby Girl Eyeshadow Stack Review, Photos, Swatches
Baby Girl
Melt Cosmetics Baby Girl Eyeshadow Stack (x5) ($58.00 for 0.50 oz.) is a coral and copper-themed set of shades with two shimmery shades and three matte shades. I liked the shades overall, though one was more of a miss, though I think the set of shades worked better when mixed with a few lighter or more mid-tone shades as using these shades together ended up being very one-note in a way.

Hopeless Romantix
Hopeless Romantix is a sparking, peachy-brown base with iridescent pink-to-gold shifting sparkle. It had a drier, more loosely pressed texture that had fallout when applied as the larger sparkles did not bind well with the underlying base color. It was best used with a dampened brush. On me, it wore well for seven hours with fallout.

I’d buy Scammin’ right now but it’s not available as a single. I’m not up for this set — I have dupes for all other shades, and it’s too costly for ‘why not’ decision. Money saved
I actually thought this was a blush stack when I first saw it. I cannot wear these colours.
Not a big fan of this colour scheme!!
You are quite right with your assessment of the shades Christine, they are all one note and really look pretty indistinguishable from each other. One lighter and one contrasting shade would have made this little stack more usuable.
If I weren’t duped to the gills, I *may* have been much more interested in this Stack. That first shade looks so gorgeous in the arm swatch, that it’s a dang shame that it doesn’t apply as nicely to the lid!
I’m curious about the ‘mechanics’ of the stacks. Do they swing out, or pop away from each other? And if they are ‘pop away,’ are the singles made so that they can be stacked on one another?
They’re magnetic, so you can take it apart and have individual pans or you can move them so they’re staggered but held together.
I don’t own this stack and I’m not sure I’d ever seriously consider buying it. These aren’t my colors, though it does look like all but one (the namesake of the entire collection, no less) performs well.
