Detrivore Haul + First Impressions





(From left to right Harpy, Mildew,Kraken,lifeless,golgotha*pictured in the first one but not the second one*, Resistance, Ashes, and Treason. )
I've been wanting to place an order with Detrivore since I first heard of them a few years ago. I'm not sure what was holding me back from ordering considering I really like the products. I order a few satin eyeshadows and a few from the regular collection. Jessi's swatches helped me pick out a few colors like Harpy and Kraken. Next time I place an order I'm getting more browns as well as a Death Valley.
The texture of the shadows remind me of Fyrinnae. A little "dry" with a good slip to them when they hit primer. I'd like to see the shadows in action with the Detrivore primer because I heard it's pretty rad. The colors look plain in the bag but applied over just a primer they are a lot more complex swatches/applied. My favorite shadows are Kraken and Resistance, you'd think it'd be Harpy but lately browns have been grabbing my attention more.
I'm defiantly going to place another order soon. I want to try the blush,the primer and the primer. The swatches of the blushes look beautiful.
You can buy these wonderful shadows here at Detrivore Cosmetics.

Jean Greenie-Fotd and Wet N Wild Swatches



Swatches: (From left to right.) Greenie palette lid, crease and highlight. Spoiled palette lid, crease and highlight. These were all done over NYX jumbo pencil in milk which makes them stand out just as wonderfully as PE does! Go Wet N Wild!
A Closer shot of the swatches. (Please excuse mah hairy hand. I am... a beast.)

WHOO! SWATCHES! YEAH! *pumps fist* Sorry I know that I'm a bit to excited about eyeshadow swatches but my old camera didn't have any setting. So now I finally get to do swatches for reviews! Yaaaaaaaaay! Today I swatched my new Wet N Wild palettes in Spoiled Brat and I Dream of Greenie. I did a small review of them the other day if you'd like to check them out.
Before I left for school today we stopped by my local Ulta. I grabbed a new brush set for my Mommy because she doesn't own any eyeshadow brushes and her blush brushes are... nasty. (Yesterday I washed all of them for her because she'd never washed them. Yeah. It was gross. Which is funny because my mother is an extremely clean person.) I dug about in the clearance section and found a Benefit lip gloss set for her. She only has a few shades she wears and I thought the prospect of new lippies would help her branch out. :D
At the counter I saw the new Stila palettes. I grabbed the Tokyo one but both of the palettes had been used so I picked the Fiji inspired one. I really should have studied the palette before I bought it because I dream of greenie has the PERFECT DUPE in it. I swatched the crease color and the Figi green side by side and they looked like the same shadow!
While in the car to Microcenter (a computer store my Honey loves.) I used the Fiji palette. It could have been the jaunty car but the shadows blended terribly. I was pretty disappointed with how patchy/muddy the look came out. While in the store I washed it off because it looked so bad. I'm going to try the shadows with a different base later to see how it works with PE. Hopefully PE will save the palette from banishment.

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
NYX jumbo pencil in milk
Wet N Wild palette in I dream of greenie (Used as directed on packaging.)
NYC Liquid eyeliner in Black
Milani eyeliner in black
Mascara

Lips-
Essence XXXL Shine Lipgloss in Bubble Babe (I also picked this up at Ulta today! LOVE the sheer sparkly pink!)

Tomorrow I will hopefully have a new World of Faerie look for you! Maybe even a Stargate inspired (Ok Goa'uld inspired.) look for you.

Fyrinnae Arcane Magic Swatches






Lool look! I finally came through with the swatches! I'm pretty terrible at the swatching bit I will admit sorry.

Eyeshadows: ( Top to bottom)
Glitterboi ( A blackened purple with blue shimmer that reflects violet.)
Jaguar ( Not a Arcane magic color but just as beautiful, this is a sparkly deep teal.)
Sequined Master ( A gorgeous lavender/liac with rainbow shimmers of awesome.)
Electric Stardust ( A mint green that shimmers and shines like it's name sake stardust.)
Futuristic Glamrock ( A fierce as hell light sky blue with some many different sparkles inside.)
Leopard-Print Galaxy ( A gold/green color that changes in certain lights.)
Pyromantic Erotica ( The most amazing orange ever created by man with a complex sparkle.)
I used Pixie Epoxy under these shadows. I just used a small swipe than blended it downward to make sure the base was spread out enough. :D

Lip Lusters: ( Also from top to bottom.)
Lollipop-Pop ( A sexy pink with violet duo-chrome I love this color.)
Puppy Love ( A pink with purple to violet reflect sparkles. I've worn this every day this week.

I hope everyone is having a good week. Next week is the end of the Spring Semester so I'll be having a few finals to work for. I may not post as much but you can always follow me on Twitter find me under Pixie_ala_mode. :D See ya soon
