Swatching me eyeshadows

Am thinking to declutter a few of my single eyeshadows.... so I made some swatches comparing with some from palettes

Wonderland (cougar beauty)- Irridescent shimmer of purple, gold, white and silverrrrr
starfish (100% pure)- warmer brown-purple
precious (cougar beauty)-cool medium brown purple with small flecks of purple shimmer
Rusty steel (zoeva)-warm yellow ochre brown with gold shimmer
Alloy (zoeva)- Not very pigmented meh....
Mermaid (cougar beauty)-bronze with bronze shimmer

Honestly all these shades are unique, but I don't have the time to go through them given i have so many palettes now! Am keeping Wonderland for its sparkling shimmer. Precious is nice too, but i don't need so many purple brown.


Treasure (cougar beauty)- Matt cool brown
envy (cougar beauty)-Matt Moss green, slightly on the yellow side. I don't have any shade like  this in my collection. I'm planning to sell this out, if can't, I will just let it stay it till someone wants it.
Forest Green (inika) - not a lot of base color, but it has a lot of shimmer gold and in green, making it look kinda green
inika bronzer  sunlight- it actually looks too orange for my Asian skin. It doesn't look best on my face, but amazing on my eyes, so it will be either sell it or keep it :
Alima pure Espresso- Matt Cool Dark brown, one of my very first eyeshadow... still remember it was so expensive but still i bought it... haven't use it a bunch, but am keeping this for sure.

Eyeshadow that look Similar #1


Upper: 100% Pure Mermaid Palette- Sea Glass
Bottom-Mixed Metals ZOEVA Bronce

 Sea Glass is more like yellowish Green and has white green shimmer
Bronce has gold shift and sparkles, slightly on the olive side.

The texture of both are very similar, a bit hard to swatch and not super pigmented. anyway, this does make them more wearable and I do use brown as outer color to make them as a daily look.

Swatching my eyeshadows ***Champagne and Purples

Given I now have multiple eyeshadow palletes from different brands, I thought I should do a comparison swatch with each other to see their differences and see if I have any that look too similar.


Champagne

**some colors swatched differently so don't judge why bronze colors came out XD
 PUR Highlighter Fantasy: It's just straight up glitter and a lot fall out ...

Affair (Zoeva) :beige undertone with fine white shimmer

Origin (Blanc Fusion) :White gold based with shimmer

Foil (Zoeva): Very light Bronze with fine shimmer

Warm Silver: consider white based fine shimmer

Au Natural, More close to my skin tone color and very pigmented and soft :0 most likely the most champagne ones

Siren: Light Bronze, fine shimmer

Whisper: Light goldish color

Pacifica's : Very subtle fine shimmer powder

Mellow Cosmetic Peach: Most shimmery of all and have finely milled white glitter.


Purples

I don't own a lot, but this amount is good for me

Old Fashioned: Sounds very grandma lol, but it's a very nice pigmented shade, with light color purple shimmer, the based is slightly on the blue tone.

Alloy: It looks purple in the pan but it's NOT! OAO !! It's brown based with purple fleck I will say. This shadow is very stiff and need to swatch a couple times to get it shown like this   : /   Well at least found it a wearable color

Starfish: has a duochrome shift, very minimal blue shimmer, it's more like a purplish brown base

Purple Haze: neutral warm pueple, not very pigmented, more on a very satin present.
