Eccentric Cosmetic Review

I'm really excited to review this super new etsy makeup brand for you guys, Eccentric Cosmetic. The shop has only been around for a month-ish, so when I say new, I mean it. As with any company I'm going to bother talking about, these eyeshadows are unique blends and NOT repackaged. I love finding new, original makeup companies :3 Gotta throw in that gold ol' disclaimer- I was sent all of these samples for free. That is NOT going to change how honest and straightforward my review is, cus I love you guys and I'm not gonna lie to you. The company is based in Australia, which I didn't realize until I got the package. Anna, the owner, threw in some candies and a lipgloss, which was really nice of her. She also left a note that I really liked, because she said she wanted my review to be totally honest so she would know what areas to work on. THAT impresses me. So, I'm going to be honest here, and say that by looking at the website pictures, I was not impressed. There are a couple that are pretty accurate, but for the most part, these photos seem dull and don't show how pretty these colors actually are. So if you're considering an order, please go by my swatches instead of the website pictures! All swatches are over Concrete Minerals eyeshadow primer. From left to right: Heartbeats, Love Generation, Hard Sun, Dry & Dusty, Autumnal Crush, Weathered Stone I LOVE HEARTBEATS. I have been searching for an eyeshadow that's a rusty brown-red for the last couple weeks, and this is perfect! I might need to buy a full size of this, because the color looks so great with my brown eyes. I love the rest of these shades too, they are so warm and pretty. I want to do a fall inspired look with them. From left to right: Acid Drops, Geology, Rain Song, Humanitarianism, Wolf, Wrecked Metal, Marble House I love Acid Drops, it is an amazingly gorgeous green. I also love Wrecked Metal. It doesn't look like much in the bag, but it is BRIGHT when you swatch it. Marble House is also a nice color. From left to right: Heroine, Dawn Night, Paradise Circus, Magic of Metals, Bunny, Tar Heart, Ted Remember how I just said I shouldn't even bother buying purples anymore? Yeah... Heroine reminds me why I do. It is the most beautiful purple, with a sort of blue iridescence. Magic of Metals is hard to catch in photos, but it has some orange to it, which looks awesome. Bunny is a FANTASTIC neutral, another color I want a full size of. Tar Heart and Ted are also just gorgeous. All the sample baggies have the ingredients listed, which I know some people really like. The colors really stuck to my arm when I swatched, not in a staining way, but I did have to scrub a teeny bit with a washcloth to get them off. So the staying power is very good! My overall impression is very good. There are a lot of similar colors for only having 20 shades currently, but there are also some stand out shades which totally blew me away. In the bag, these look pretty "meh". When I swatched them, I was amazed at how pretty they actually are. I would like to see more BRIGHTS obviously, heehee. I'd also like more of a color variety, maybe some pinks and berries, and more true blues and greens to go with all those "in the middle" blue-green shades. I'm excited to see how Eccentric will expand, because I think Anna has some great stuff here. All in all, I would definitely recommend trying some samples from Eccentric Cosmetic! I'd love to know what you guys think. :)
