Concrete Minerals & Evil Shades swatches

I did the blogger/reviewer special to get some new Concrete Minerals shades. It says they'll send you four samples (which are huge, btw), and they sent me an extra one that I didn't order, Vegas. I swatched everything today over Concrete Minerals eye primer, which I think I'm going to start doing regularly instead of swatching over bare skin. I don't want to swatch over Pixie Epoxy, because not everyone uses that every day, but I'm pretty confident if you wear makeup and read this blog, you use an eyeshadow primer every day. From left to right: Wicked, Prude, Detox, Vegas, Lolita Wicked has some a great blue sheen to it. Prude is a gorgeous, pale pale pink. Detox is the perfect mint I've been looking for, Vegas is my new favorite gold, and Lolita is a purply taupe that will be great for smokey eyes. Safe to say I am in love with all these colors! Next up is Evil Shades. From left to right: Sinister, Acolyte, Reondite, Phyrra's Fantasy, Nightshade, Chusi, Double Barrel, Zombie I adore Phyrra's Fantasy, it's a super gorgeous raspberry pink-red. I also love Double Barrel, and ESPECIALLY Zombie, which I have nothing like. Nightshade and Chusi are almost matte, so they are kind of chalky. I don't know why I even bother to buy purples at this point, I'm pretty sure I have every variation you could ever imagine, and they're all starting to look the same. Now I'm off to watch some scary movies with my fantastic boyfriend, I hope everyone's day is as fun as mine's going to be :)

  9. @Martian Delights: Their lip gloss is my favorite gloss ever, it smells sooooo good.

    @Hendrix: I watched the original Hills Have Eyes, which was sadly disappointing. I rewatched The Ring (American) and while it was really good, I don't know why it used to scare me so much. It's almost more of a mystery/thriller than a horror movie.

    @Lillian: I think they would be so great together in a look since they have a similar finish.

    @PoorCollegeStudent: I know! :D

    @The Peach: It is so pretty, I can't wait to try it out.

    @mytigerlily: That's my favorite one for sure :)

    @ScrubbingUpWell: Doesn't waiting suck?!

    @Phyrra: Thanks! I love Detox, I want to do a mint green and brown look with it.
