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.

Epiphany Indulgence-fotd






When I got home on Thursday I found a small package waiting for me. My Father had apparently opened it for me thinking it was my new hard drive. I pulled out the small golden bag to stare at the pretty eyeshadows I had bought. I'm on a no buy until I find a job so this was a small indulgence. I had been wanting to try Persephone minerals since Grey, Phyrra and Mika-chan had done swatches/reviews.
I'm sorry I don't have any pictures of the sample bags. Those are to be saved for a sunny day. :D I'm really in love with these shadows. I can't wait to use them more!

What I used:

Eyes-
TFSI
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Persephone e/s in Epiphany (A gorgeous red based jewel toned purple used on the lid.)
Persephone e/s in Blackberry Indulgence (Tasty looking deep berry used in the crease.)
Persephone mystical highlight powder in Chara (Peachy glow used on brow bone.)
Wet n Wild e/s palette in Night Elf (The red used to fill in the brows.)
Milani eyeliner in black
Almay liquid liner in black

lips-
I can't really recall. It might be Nyx round lipstick in Tea Rose...

Please look out for more looks using Persephone minerals!

The Great and Mighty Sugarpill-First Impressions








I was so excited to see that Sugarpill was on sale on Valentines Day that I screeched in happiness. So I placed a small order consisting of the pressed eyeshadow poison plum and the chromalust loose eyeshadow in goldilux. The order arrived quickly in a box with the adorable Sugarpill cat printed on the side. I ripped open the box and marveled at the beautiful packaging. I am not a hoarder by any means but I'm keeping the packaging just because it's so freaking cute. With my order I received a sample of the chromalust tipsy which is a frosty green color and a cute sticker. I put the sticker on my make-up storage box so I can look at the pretty holographic font every time I do my make-up.
My first impression of Sugarpill is GASJDGUAYSFDGYasgdsDOIatd98qwYQEY2 why did I wait so long to buy from Sugarpill? Next time, and there will be a next time, I'm going to buy Decro and Love+ maybe even absinthe ok royal sugar can come too. :D

What I used:
