OMG....I have an amazing indie Company to share with you today called The Chequered Lily. I picked up the super cheap 5 pack of samples for only $4. The shipping was really fair too which is sometimes a bit pricey on Etsy.
This company is primarily vegan too! And I adore that each product does state if it is lip safe. Standard size shadows are $6.50 and Glitter Blend Shadows are $7. (Sadly I did not pick up any of those but I will very soon!) Lip Balms are $3.50-$3.75. And she has full size blush for $13. My order shipped lightening fast and the owner is a pleasure to work with!! Anyway...enough of this blah blah blah and on to the good stuff LOL.
So here are the beautiful shadows I got. I bought the 5 pack of samples and received a total of 8!!! All colors were swatched over Urban Decay Primer Potion.
I got the following colors:
December
December is a blackened navy blue with teal and bronze glitter.
Black Valentine
Velvety dark black with loads of ruby and scarlet glitter.I really don't think I was able to do this amazing shadow justice :(
The Black Pearl
Super sparkly blackened silver with silver reflect and holographic glitter.
The Labyrinth
Ok so I hadda get this one based on the name alone!! Muddy Deep Violet-Brown with Blue and Aqua Sparkle. And I totally have to share the info from the site for this...I just love it!!
“A passageway ran across the entrance. It was so narrow, and the wall was so high, that the sky was a mere slit over her head. In the gloom, she heard the continual drip of water, echoing. She approached the farther wall, touched it, and pulled her hand away. It was dank and slimy, like mildew.” -A.C.H. Smith, Labyrinth (A Novel Based on the Jim Henson Film). Though the Labyrith has many incarnations throughout the film, it was the gate and perimeter walls that stuck with me most: impossibly tall walls of crumbly dark brickwork, patches of blue and brown-eyed lichen, the bluish sheen of moisture and the darkly glittering corners infested with adorable blue worms.
Snake Charmer
Blackened Green with Intense Green Shimmer and Green-Gold Sparkle.
Hearts In Ice
Royal blue with subtle violet undertone and intense red iridescence.
Cast No Reflection
Shimmery Blackened Silver With Pale Gold & Silver Sparkle
Monster's Bride
Plush Olive Green/Antique Gold Duochrome With Gold Sparkle
