Today I got to visit Caitlin from Shiro Cosmetics and help out a bit. It was great and I enjoyed meeting her and filling jars. She asked me if I’d swatch The Tribute Collection and really like I was gonna say no. So she gave me samples to swatch. I’m glad she did. It was the Tribute collection that I was putting in jars and oh man they’re pretty. Literally every single shade is gorgeous. I’m doing this in two parts, and for this part I have Baker’s Boy, Beyond the Fence, Cornucopia, Ever in Your Favor, Girl on Fire and Huntress. I am in love with Baker’s Boy, Ever in Your Favor and Girl on Fire. I plan on doing a look with Ever in Your Favor and Girl on Fire. Oh yesss. I’m just going to let you see for yourself, and say that these are seriously a million times prettier in person.

Photos were taking indoors under a daylight bulb and swatched over Concrete Minerals Electric Eye Primer and Darling Girl Cosmetics Glitter Glue.

Soooo. If you haven’t heard of or tried innocent+twisted alchemy you are so missing out. I initially purchased the 10 pod/clam shell samples for $18.00, then I purchased samples of Linda’s remaining colors. Let me first say, OMG.SO.FREAKING.CUTE. I love Linda’s theme. The sample baggies I got with my first order have stickers on both sides of the bag, one side is completely covered and the other has a star cut out so you can see the shadow color. The sample pods/clam shells/thingers are stuffed full and have top and bottom labels. She included a pamphlet with the ingredients for each shadow and some cute little cards and a hand written invoice with a cute note. I had no idea she knew about my blog!

Anyways I have swatched for you shadows #001-#006, which are innocent+twisted #001, innocent #002, twisted #003, silent lucidity #004, poisoned tears #005, and melodies in june #006. I love them all. I was honestly surprised by how pretty these shadows are. They are complex… and beautiful. Don’t shoot me, but they’re just as nice if not nicer than the Aromaleigh shadows I have. *hides* They are that pretty! You can bet your britches you’ll be seeing a giveaway at some point. Most likely after my birthday[1. January 1st!]. I shall be getting my tattoo for my birthday/christmas present and well tattoo > makeup. But yes, these are beautiful and I urge you to try them. I am very, very, very pleased with well everything. I guess I should let you see the swatches now. I tried taking photos at different angles and with blurryness[2. which is no problem since my lens is a jerkface and likes to not focus.] but honestly the photos do these pretties no justice. Also please forgive me if I’ve mislabeled or spelled anything wrong, it’s 6am and I haven’t slept yet. All swatches are done over Concrete Minerals Electric Eye Primer and Darling Girl Cosmetics Glitter Glue.

Okay. I’m in love with this trio. It beats the pants off of the mNg trio. For serious. Love, love, love it! Andrea outdid herself here. And of course Anthrax is my favorite of the trio… And not just because I suggested the name to Andrea, it’s freaking amazing! Because Andrea is the awesomest person ever that she is, she sent me a set for myself AND a set to give away. One lucky person will be able to win them along with some other goodies in my 100 follower giveaway which I’ll be posting as soon as I get the lippies from Morgana Cryptoria! So uh once my giveaway is over you all need to get your butts over to My Pretty Zombie and order these! You won’t be sorry. Seriously these photos do them no justice, they’re 10 times more beautiful in person.
