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.
