Indie Extravaganza - Notoriously Morbid

I  recently placed an order with Notoriously Morbid, for an assortment of their mini sized shadows. I received a lovely package today, which was much needed after my day at the salt mine.

Look at all that fabulous loot! And CANDY.

I ordered from two collections, Little Melancholies and Show A Little Burlesque. The shadows are really lovely. Very pigmented, true to the colors represented on the website, and very easy to apply. The big surprise in my order was the Coffin Kissers. I added this at the last minute, because I have a lip balm addiction. I cannot pass up anything that claims to moisturize my lips and is vanilla scented. I have them everywhere. My work environment is very dry, and we can't have water "onstage" so I dry up like parchment paper. This is possibly THE BEST LIP BALM I HAVE EVER USED. Go buy some immediately. Don't look back. Buy more than one. Trust me - I know dry.

All shadows are swatched over Two Faced Glitter Glue eyeshadow primer, with a brush. Top Row L to R (I am still working on my swatch technique, as I have limited forearm for swatch fest :) Quiet In The Dark, Walks In The Moonlight, Forgotten Dreams, Tempest. Bottom Row L to R Rain On Cold Glass, British Blondes, Victorian Gypsy, Velvet Hammer

Top Row L to R Hearts Of Black Lace, Dita  Bottom Row  Sometimes My Arms Bend Back, Douglas Firs

I really did love them all, but favorites for me were Quiet In The Dark, Walks In The Moonlight, Tempest, Rain On Cold Glass, and British Blondes. British Blondes really surprised me. It looked YELLOW in the container, and swatched such a pretty goldy color that would be a perfect base for a simple winged liner look, or as the highlight in a halo look. I can't wait to wear it! Sometimes My Arms Bend Back was a sample included in this order and it is gorgeous. I may have to see if the full size is available. I could see using this often.

Overall I was super pleased with the quality of the product and will definitely order again. If you have never looked at Indie companies, give it a try. Great value for money and you support a small business. Win Win! What I love is that the smaller production allows them to try colors the major companies would never do.
