Evil Shades Mythology Collection Swatches

I ate 2 full-sized lunches and should not be hungry. I'm actually not hungry but my roommate (the non-weird one) made something that is making the apartment smell oh-so-delicious, my saliva glands are going hog wild.

Moving on, here is the Mythology Collection by Evil Shades!











And the freebies!



Must haves from this collection: Moirae, Dryad, Drakon, Gryphon, Succubus. I'm not usually fond of cooler pinks but Succubus is an exception.

What are your favorites? :)

Edit: Dull_Flame asked a fantastic question about the similarities between Drakon and Moirae. Since I'm absolutely horrible at describing colors, here are the swatches side-by-side:



Hope this helps y'all out!

Evil Shades LE Halloween 2010 Swatches

Good evening, y'all. I hope the week has been treating you well! Headed out to a restaurant this evening and grabbed some Mexican fare - I LOVE Tamal de Elote. I could eat that stuff all day with sour cream - it's so delicious.

In other news, I am totally not happy with the third roommie. She creeps me out. Reminds me of that chick from Paranormal Activity. Particularly, that scene where she's just standing over the bed watching her man sleep.

Yeah, it's that sort of creepy. Even my friend told me that's how he feels.

So I have swatches to share! This always puts me in a better mood. From Evil Shades LE Halloween 2010 Collection...bam! Unfortunately, these shades are no longer available but it's never too early to start planning. ;)





I love how well-blended these shadows are. Other Worldly and Witching swatched on so smoothly, Raven's Song is something I've seen before but it's still bewitching, and I want to use All Hallows Night for something, anything, because I love that crimson shade.

What are your favorites from this collection?

Persephone Minerals, Glamour Doll Eyes, Evil Shades, + Aromaleigh

Back from my weekend of less than a day with my family and then running around going to a wedding and preparing to come back to my apartment so that I could work today. I miss my mommy and daddy already. :(

I did come home to some fantastic lovelies though. These two came in on Saturday and I picked them up from my apartment concierge late Sunday night.



I heard about their specials through Phyrra and figured now was a good time to take advantage. I ordered these from Glamour Doll Eyes 10/27 and received them 10/30.



I was most excited about these eye shadows from Persephone Minerals based off of Naoko Takeushi's popular manga (and anime) series, Sailor Moon. These are the full sets (each) for Sailor Mars, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus. I'm loving Sailor Mars' collection especially. Still, they ALL look gorgeous in the little baggies, I can't imagine how they must look swatched. I am super excited. :D Shipping was also super fast. Ordered 10/27, received 10/30.



Freebies! Can I tell you how much I love being able to try out different colors than what I ordered? It's always so unexpected. :)



And what might this ominous looking baggie be?



GASPERS. It's my elusive Evil Shades order! I ordered 10/20, received my shipping notification 10/25, then received my package 11/1. I got the entire Halloween LE collection along with the very much raved about, Mythology collection. Fun times swatching ahead.

And last but not least...



My Aromaleigh order consisting of Eggnog, Mistletoe, Mulberry, Candytuft, Rule 42, Hearts A' Plenty, Frumious. I purchased so I could take part in their contest. Results were revealed here and dagnabbit! I was #6. Sadface! Congrats to #1-#4 though. :)

I am getting slammed at work this week but hopefully I'll find some time to get away and do some swatching. :D

P.S. In reference to this post here...It wasn't the blush. I think it was because of me touching my face like crazy that week. Lol.

P.P.S. That red/black Gothic backdrop for some of the photos is my awesomely awesome bedspread. I was chatting with my friend when I was opening my mail and didn't want to move to take the pictures. :D
