Evil Shades Lippie Swatches

Well hello, lovers of make-up!!  

Today I have for your some swatches of lip products that I bought from Evil Shades.  (I bought them, they were not provided to me, except for Zicke which was a free sample.)

My order contained more than just lip stuffs, but I didn't have time to swatch that stuff yesterday.  So, you get lip stuff first.

The Company:  Andrea is super awesome and sweet!  Go follow her on Twitter!  (And me, for that matter.)

Shipping:  Super quick!  My order, with custom eyeshadow, shipped the next day!  Hooray! :D  The only thing was that some of my shadows were escaping from their jars.  :[  I think next time I will ask for sifters if she has them available.

Prices:  Holy canolies?!  REALLY?!  That was my reaction when I saw her prices.  I bought one Large Gift set and one Mini Set for, I think $22.  Two lipsticks, four lipglosses, five shadows.  Glosses are $3.50, lipsticks are $4.75, and shadows are $3.50, and all are pretty gosh ding dang amazing!!   Here is the link again: Evil Shades.  She does have blushes which I will probably order samples of next time I order.

The Products:

Lip Glosses:  

  • Cushiony
  • These may or may not be sticky to some people.  I don't usually have a problem with stickiness since my hair tends to be short and I don't get hair on my lips very often.
  • Very high gloss!  Love it.
  • Moisturizing
  • Smell is fantastic!!  Yum!
  • I am so/so on the jar.  I kind of like it because these are the kind of glosses/lip products I can see actually wanting to use a brush with, espcially the color "Deadly."

Lethal Kiss - "Peachy Shimmer" (from EvilShades.com) 
To me, this is a pinky, peachy color that doesn't amp up the color of my lips the way Guilty as Sin does.  I really like it as an everyday gloss.  The shimmer is subtle but it also has silver sparkles in it, which is a cute added touch!  You can kind of see them on the edges of my lips.



Guilty as Sin - "Pink/Fuschia with glass fleck" (from EvilShades.com)
This is pink.  Awesome sparkly, shimmery fuschia-y pink.  I really like the way it pinks up my lips and seems to me to have a little blue reflectiveness to it, in the shimmer.  I see myself wearing this one for sure.

New Make-Ups

So... I went on a spending spree.  I have TONS of make-up from many companies, most recent of which is from Evil Shades.  I'm excited to swatch the glosses I got, and the custom eyeshadow, too!!  I can't promise anything, but if tomorrow is sunny, I may have time between filling orders to do swatches.

I also have a TOOOON of swatches to do for Morgana Minerals.  I know everybody has swatches of Morgana Minerals, but I like to do my own, just like everyone else.

I've bought every Aromaleigh lippie that I felt I needed, which was way more than I actually NEEDED, plus some awesome eyeshadows, (duh!).  I bought a sample set of the newest Limited Edition collection Victoria's Revenge, so look forward to that action.  Here is a quick teaser of the look I will be posting tomorrow, using colors from Victoria's Revenge.



So, if you're excited about that, then stay tuned in tomorrow for The Look!  

Oooh also, here is a picture of a new ring I made.  It is ssooooo cute, and for sale in my Etsy Shop, too!
