Hey guys! So if you’ve been following me for a while, you know how much I love indie eyeshadows. I had heard great things about a brand called Hello Waffle but I had never tried them before. I was recently gifted some Hello Waffle shadows, so I thought I’d do some swatches and share my thoughts!



From top to bottom:

Silk- warm purple with a gold shift

Hot Cross Bunnies- light shimmery purple

Cat Fluff- Dark Gray base with green shift and sparkle. It actually looks like a very dark green.

Corgi Butts- Peach with red sparkle

IMAM- Dark navy blue

Warning: Gushing incoming

How much do I love these? So much. These are loose shadows, and I swatched them dry. The colors don’t even need a base for crazy pigmentation.

Seriously look at how pigmented these colors are.

These five colors are unbelievably gorgeous and unique. Silk’s gold duochrome is just mind bendingly beautiful. I’ve heard it’s similar to Laura Mercier’s African Violet eyeshadow that was limited edition.

I’ve heard lots of raves about Hot Cross Bunnies specifically and now I understand why. I really think this pretty purple goes with any skin tone. I was afraid my skin was too warm for it, but it worked for me and made my brown eyes pop wonderfully.

Asides from being adorably inspired, the pet duo (Corgi butts and cat fluff) is also great. The two shadows come discounted as a duo. I LOVE dark green eyeshadow, and I am always down for neutrals with a bit of a kick to them.

IMAM is inspired by a subreddit that I love and frequent, r/indiemakeupandmore

Normally I don’t even like blue eyeshadow, but this navy is surprisingly wearable and makes a gorgeous eyeliner.

In short, Hello Waffle is amazing, and I need more of these eyeshadows.

A full sized jar will only set you back six dollars! I can’t recommend this brand enough.

Also, to my indie makeup gift exchange partner: you are the actual greatest.
