NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams

I purchased 2 NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams at Ulta a few weeks ago because they were on sale and I was dying to try Copenhagen!  I grabbed Copenhagen and Ibiza.

All of these are photos of Copenhagen.  It is much deeper than it photographs, and is a burgundy color.  I love it!  Your lips definitely need to be scrubbed and moisturized for these creams!

Ibiza:

Ibiza is too orange for me, but it’s a pretty color!
I’m glad I picked these up, and I know Copenhagen is going to get a ton of use this autumn and winter!

Cargo’s Suited to a Tea Color Palette

I received this palette in a swap.  I was surprised to find that the colors are cream eyeshadows! 

There are a variety of colors, and as you will see, they are all pretty light.  They will work for a light wash of color, which is exactly what some people want.  Now on to the swatches!

All swatches are over Wet n Wild Take on the Day Eyeshadow Primer.

Ganache

Bloomsbury

Petit Four

Earl Grey

Crumpet

Devonshire

Wedgewood

Ritz

Oolong

Tisane

Macaron

Mayfair

My favorite colors are Devonshire, Macaron and Mayfair.  Bloomsbury and Macaron are meant to be used on cheeks and lips too!  This palette is really pretty, but just not me.  My mother loves it, and she will be taking it home with her!  I loved trying these shadows out, and I would love a few of these as singles.  You can purchase this palette for around $39.

Nails of the Day

KBShimmer When the Doves Sigh.  This is pretty!  Depending on the angle and light, it looks so different.

Esoteric Aesthetic – Fall Collection *PROMOTION*

All swatches over Wet n Wild Take on the Day Eyeshadow Primer.

Thinning of the Veil

Ezili

Prophecy

The Baron

All Saints’ Day

I am hard pressed to pick a favorite, I love all of these colors!  I was surprised by Prophecy, described as “olive, gold and orange”, depending on the angle.  The Baron is one of my favorite colors, and has a really pretty pino and purple sheen.  All Saints’ Day is a gorgeous champagne color, and will make a great highlight.

If you have been considering picking up some new eyeshadows, this is a great deal to take advantage of!

Innocent + Twisted Alchemy – October Subscription

Cute packaging! 

4 full-size I+TA eyeshadows and a blush

3 eyeshadow samples and a lipstick sample

This is the last month for the subscription until next year.  The owner, Linda, has a full-time job and has chosen to put the sub on hold during the busy season at work.  I think this is a great idea, much better than letting the sub overwhelm her and getting behind.

All eyeshadow swatches over Wet n Wild Take on the Day Eyeshadow Primer

Empty Sorrow

Thoumaturage (this color has a pretty teal sheen that I just couldnt capture.  You can barely see it at the top of the photo)

Hallowing Voice

Cruor

I think Hallowing Voice and Cruor will look great together!  All of the colors are pretty and apply smoothly, and Im sad the sub will be on hold for a few months.

Onto the samples from other companies!

Regina from Hello Waffle

Laurel from Esoteric Aesthetic (this color has a pretty mint green shimmer that I failed to capture)

Jailbait from Eccentric Cosmetics

Dementia Mineral Lip Gloss from Spectrum Cosmetics

Dementia lightly applied

What fun colors!  I love that the I+TA colors have a theme, and this month’s theme was ‘Live or Die’, based on the Saw movies.  The sub came with a code for 35% off my next order.
Im having a hard time choosing my favorite from the other companies!  As you already know, I love Esoteric Aesthetic, and I also really like Jailbait from Eccentric Cosmetics.  If you are into blackened colors, Regina from Hello Waffle is gorgeous!

Zoya Posh *with a SALE UPDATE*

I really like matte colors, and posh is no exception.  This will be a perfect color for Christmas!

Right now, when you buy two Zoya’s at Ulta, you get a free lipstick and a full-size matte topcoat from Zoya.

Litany Things Jewelry

I loooooove shopping indie.  You would never have guessed, huh?  I recently made a couple purchases from a new jewelry shop on etsy called Litany Things.  I love Halloween, and it’s even better to find pieces that I can incorporate into my wardrobe year-round.  The other thing I love is that you can customize the length of the necklaces!  I tend to like my necklaces a little longer, so that’s perfect for me.

The description for this necklace from the shop: Halloween is coming! The Nocturnal earrings and necklace are the first of my Halloween designs. These designs are going to be something a bit different. Much simpler than what I normally do, but I’m absolutely in love with them, and I hope you will be too!
This listing is for one Nocturnal necklace, comprised of two opaque dark purple bicones, four hematite star beads, and one pewter bat charm, attached to a customizable length of silver-finished chain. If a chain length is not specified, my default necklace length is approximately 50cm. 
The bat charm on this necklace is approximately 22mm long.

I requested a length of 22″, and it is perfect!  Here are some pics from the day I received the necklace:

And from another day (I hate my hair in this photo):

And today I received my 2nd order!  I am participating in a Halloween swap with some online friends, and I ordered a necklace for my swap partner.  I couldnt resist ordering one for myself as well!  I cant share a photo of the gift, but I included it in the photo so you can see how things are packaged.

I love the detail on this skull!  I requested a length of 24″ on this one so that I can layer it with other necklaces.  I plan to wear this tomorrow, and I am sure you will see it in upcoming photos.

If you are looking for some cute accessories and want to support a small business, check out Litany Things!

Pumpkin Polishes

It’s that time of year again!  I love Halloween.

(Only the top row is mine)
Glow in the dark nail polish is fun!  And the glitters are in the shape of skull and crossbones.
