Glamdourdoll Eye's February OTM: Nothing Sour About "Toxic Grape!"

      I have to admit, I was secretly hoping that January's OTM was going to be purple, but I had a strong feeling that it was going to be this year's go-to emerald color (and don't get me wrong, Flourishing was NOT by any means disappointing!)  On top of that, I've been experimenting with a lot of purple shadows lately (my original favorite eye color) as I'm rediscovering all the beautiful different finishes.  Fast forward to today, I couldn't help but smile when I saw the color name Toxic Grape and opened the lid to the OTM jar which revealed another additional shade of purple for me to play with! :)  It was created by Chelsea, (she does amazing eye looks) who I remember initially asked Vee about a shadow idea back in the summer, so I'm really glad she was able to make her own color.  
     The OTM card describes Toxic Grape as:
"A deep purple with light pink undertones and gold & blue sparkles. Safe for eyes. Nails. Face."

The entire set.

    Going along with the Valentine theme, Vee included a bag of candy conversation hearts with the order. As a bonus this month, she personalized the bag into one for you and one for a friend, consisting of a bonus bag of candy and sample of the February OTM!

Awwww. :)

The set for a friend.

     The best way to describe this color is that it is a pure purple with sparkle.  It's on the warmer side and looks like it will go well with a lot of different colors.  I did notice as soon as I washed the swatches off that the one applied with Control Freak took more time to clean off. It did leave just the faintest stain on my skin-good news for eyes; just be careful around clothing!
