Influenster Cosmo VoxBox 2012!


Good morning Zombies!

I was lucky enough to receive the Cosmo VoxBox 2012 from Influenster earlier this week and I wanted to give you a preview of the goodies you should expect to receive if you're still waiting on yours.

All the stuffs!




"Forever Red" Eau de parfume from Bath and Body Works is such an amazing, sexy scent. It smells fresh and fruity but not overly so. The description: A passionate blend of pomegranate and red osmanthus with a sexy surprise of vanilla rum.

This was my favorite item in the Cosmo VoxBox. The bottle is .25 fl oz which is $10.00 from B&BW.


Yummmmm chocolate! Who doesn't like Ghirardelli chocolate? Sea Salt Escape? YES. $2.79 each.


FriXion by Pilot pens. An erasable pen? Yes please! They claim to erase the ink by friction with their rubber tips. And they work! Who knew? $4.50 for a 3-pack.


Versus Embrace by Gillette and Venus and Olay refill. Plus a $2.00 off coupon any Venus cartridge. I actually used this last night to shave my legs. I really like the handle and the close shave. It also left my legs feeling really soft! Prices may vary depending on where you're able to purchase this razor.


I really liked this Influenster box! I feel like Influenster is picking up the pace a bit with the products they are including in the boxes.

Did you get the Cosmo VoxBox 2012 or have you purchased any of these products and loved them?

Morgana Cryptoria Lipstick SWATCHES!


Zombies!

I was finally able to get my hands on some more Morgana Cryptoria lipstick during a recent sale they were having. I picked up 5 lipstick and only 1 eyeshadow, which is odd for me. :D I love the lipstick so damn much, I had to show you them ALL! NOW! Sadly, Morgana is closed temporarily as a new site is being built but stay tuned to their Facebook fanpage for updates! You can also purchase some of Morgana's lipstick from this website!

Here are the goodies!

I purchased Twinkling Rubies, Passionflower, Fortune Teller, HemoGoblin, Raisin Shimmer lippies and Pentacle eyeshadow.


L to R: Passionflower, Fortune Teller, HemoGoblin, Twinkling Rubies, and Raisin Shimmer


Pentacle eyeshdaow:


I feel Pentacle is a deep chocolate brown with tons of multicolored sparkles. It's a gorgeous sparkly shade and super pigmented! This was a new Halloween color!


Hand swatches!


(Please excuse my bitch face in some of the pictures. hehe)

First up: Fortune Teller. A new Halloween shade. A gorgeous lavender with blue and pink sparkles. So lovely.




Next Passionflower! (My favorite of the bunch.) A gorgeous blue based deep pink with shimmer. So heavenly!




Twinkling Rubies! A gorgeous Ruby red with red sparkles. The PERFECT holiday red.





Raisin Shimmer: A gorgeous raisin shade with sparkles. I had slight trouble getting this to apply evenly to my lips, but it's such a pretty shade!




And HemoGoblin: A new Halloween shade. A brick red with a slight green shift. This one came in a jar and you'll need to use a lip brush or your fingers to apply.





Pentacle on the lid. I tried to capture the intense sparkle to no avail. But trust me, it's there! AND LOUD! I used Fyrinnae's "Moonchild" as the highlight.


As always, Morgana Cryptoria lipstick are super pigmented and creamy! The staying power is amazing as well. An average lipstick sells for $12.00.

Do you own any of these Morgana products? What are your favorites?

Chinovi Cosmetics Christmas Collection Swatches!


Hey Zombies!

As promised, I have for you swatches of the newest Limited Edition collection from Chinovi Cosmetics. The Christmas Collection! The colors in this collection are absolutely stunning!



The cute design on the front of the clamshell!




FLASH!




Descriptions from the Chinovi website:

Berry Garland is a deep red with berry tones and swirled with cranberry and silver sparkles.

Blue Spruce is a deep evergreen with blue interference. It is lit up with blue and golden sparkles.

Flocked is an extremely shimmery white.

Star is a darkened gold with a lot of shimmering gold sparkles.

Tinsel is a mid tone blue with tons of purple, pink, teal and silver sparkles.

Twinkle is a shimmery nude with silver and gold sparkles.

My thoughts:
I am completely in LOVE with Berry Garland and Blue Spruce. Blue Spruce is super sparkly green with blue sparks throughout. It's so beautiful. And of course Berry Garland is a deep sparkly burgundy which is rich and complex. There is not one color in this collection that isn't gorgeous and sparkly. Flocked and Twinkle are terrific highlight and/or neutral colors. Tinsel is an intense and gorgeous navy blue with tons of multicolored sparkles. So hot! Star is perfect for a neutral look with a pop. It's such a terrific sparkly gold!

Here is a quick look using Berry Garland in the crease, Star on the main lid, Blue Spruce on the lower lash line, Flocked as a highlight, and Twinkle in the tear duct area.


(On my lips: Darling Girl Cosmetics "Holly Jolly" Holo lip gloss.)


A bit edited.


You can get the full Christmas set (full sized jars) for $28.00, the full set in baggies for $5.50 or full size jars (5gr jars) are $5.00 each. The set or individual colors are also available in clam shells. Run, do not walk and get yourself this collection. It is SO worth it!

New "My Pretty Zombie" Black Friday Shades!


Oh hai Zombies!

I have such an exciting post for you today! My Pretty Zombie is releasing new Black Friday shades...on, well..Black Friday (Nov. 23rd) and I was given the chance to swatch them for you beforehand. Mark your calendars! There will be major eyeshadow boners after this post! :D




FLASH





Here I used "Culex" on the main lid, "Osedax" in and above crease, and "Lipeurus" on the lower lash line.


Full face shot.
 

"Culex" is magic. Seriously. It's a warm copper, leaning red, with gold flecks and an intense gold flash. It's beautiful alone in the jar but then you swatch it, and it's all the awesome. I also really love "Toxocara" and "Spirometra." As always, the new shades are rich and unique with nice staying power. I did my swatches over Hi-Fi Cosmetics Shadow Fix.

And here's the deal:

$24.00 for the entire set- (which I don't believe includes the 3 samples I have swatched here). They will also be available as samples, individually, or as part of the you pick five set. Sale will be from Friday to Monday 33% entire order (excluding shipping.) $24.00 is before the Black Friday discount! :)The coupon code will be: pretty33

So...will you be getting yourself some? ;)

Wet N Wild "Black Orchid" lipstick and LOTD!


Zombies!

I did a quick and dirty look today using Wet N Wild's "Black Orchid" lipstick (508A)! Not much to say about it other than.. HERE, LOOK!









The Goods:
TFSI as primer
MAC "Blackground" paint pot as base
Aromaleigh "Jolie" as main lid color
Matte back from Sleek "Sunset" palette blended into and above crease
L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow in "Golden Emerald" lower lash line
Fyrinnae "Moon Child" as highlight
Random liner and mascara

Cheeks:
MAC "Gentle"

Lips:
Wet N Wild "Black Orchid"

A very Fall look if I do say so myself! Black Orchid may look matte in these pictures but it isn't. It's more of a creme and I did have a hard time getting it to spread evenly on my lips. Overall though, I think it's a really lovely shade.
