Hello readers,
Today I have Hello Waffle's March Visage box to share with you. This month's selection was inspired by the animated film The Secret Of Kells. Though I haven't seen it myself, looking up imagery online I can definitely see where the rich earthy tones this month came from. Let's take a look at swatches.
Hello Waffle Cosmetics Crystal Eye Eyeshadow

Crystal Eye features a shiny gunmetal base with flecks of silver and blue. This one definitely benefits from a sticky primer to keep everything in place and bring out the shiny finish.

Oak-Berry Ink is a medium emerald green with a satin sheen. The formula for this shade was super pigmented and easy to work with.

The Chi-Rho Page is ... hard to describe. It's a pale muted sort of yellow sort of green sort of gold shimmer. This one can be built up like in my swatch below or sheered out.

Pangur Ban features a sheer lilac base filled with blue and turquoise flecks and a strong green flash. This is super glowy and has an opalescent finish.

Hello Waffle Cosmetics Aisling Blush

Aisling is a matte deep apricot blush. The formula was quite pigmented. This one is a bit to warm for my skin tone but if you generally go for warmer shades, this could be a nice option.

Hello Waffle Cosmetics Darkness Into Light Lipstick

Darkness Into Light is a sheer rosy toned nude. I found it does apply a little more pink than in looks in the tube. For me this is very close to my natural lip colour so makes a nice shade when I don't want to worry about touch ups but want something more than a clear balm.

Squash Beauty Warm Copper Shimmer Illuminator/Brontour

This month's guest indie was Squash Beauty, a brand I've tried once before through Visage. They contributed a multitasking product in a warm shimmery copper shade. The cream formula dries down quite quickly, so you need to work fast to blend it to your desired coverage. For me, I couldn't quite find an ideal use. I have hooded eyes and cream products just do not stand a chance against creasing, no matter how much primer I use. For my skin tone this is too dark to use a highlighter, but I prefer matte bronzer and contour products. I think this would look love on darker skin tones, but it's just not a good fit for me.

Conclusion
My personal favorite this month is Pangur Ban. It is ridiculously pretty. The neutral Darkness Into Light lipstick comes in second as a great everyday item to add to my collection. You can find Hello Waffle Cosmetics on
