First Victorian Disco Cosmetics Order!

Yay for my first ever Victorian Disco Cosmetics haul!  I'd been wanting to try this indie company for so long!  Their eyeshadows are all organized by collections based on geeky things like World of Warcraft, Harry Potter, Miyazaki, etc.  I actually ordered awhile ago, and while their TAT was 2-4 weeks then, it actually took 3 weeks for them to ship out.  It was within the TAT, but a lot longer than I'm used to waiting.

I ordered the Blogger Package, that includes two mini jars and six sample sizes for $6.50.  I also ordered a full-sized jar that was on sale and the owner, Ashley, kindly included two free samples with my order.

My order came wrapped in purple tissue paper with a cute Hello Kitty sticker - the same sticker was also stuck onto my invoice.  I asked for a picture of Totoro and Doraemon having a tea party with a Pokemon guest thrown in.  Ashley definitely delivered - look how cute it is with Pikachu hiding behind Totoro ^_^

Here be swatches - taken in daylight with no primer (click to enlarge):

Sin'Dorei

Sin'Dorei:  beautiful shimmery golden nude.  It doesn't show up against my skin much because it really matches my skin-tone haha.

Health Pack

Health Pack:  light metallic orchid

Kirin Tor

Kirin Tor:  matte lavender.

Queen Beryl

Queen Beryl:  shimmery burgundy.

Nightwalker

Nightwalker:  matte grass green with violet shift.

Daylight:  Sin'Dorei, Health Pack, Kirin Tor, Queen Beryl, Nightwalker

Flash:  Sin'Dorei, Health Pack, Kirin Tor, Queen Beryl, Nightwalker

Shadowform

Shadowform:  matte blackened purple.  This was my free sample; I didn't realize because my order took awhile to arrive so I was confused as to why I ordered this color haha.

Spacey Wacey

Spacey Wacey:  dark navy with multicolor sparkles.  The sparkles don't show up well with no primer, but it looks stunning on the picture site.

Undercity

Undercity:  matte navy with blue sparkles.  This was my other free sample.  I used this once as my crease color and the blue sparkles really show up wonderfully!  However, I noticed that my free samples seem to have less product than normal samples.  I didn't mind much because I wasn't planning on pressing this and Shadowform due to ultramarines.  I ended up putting them into jars and using them loose.

Keeper of the Forest

Keeper of the Forest:  matte gray.  I honestly got this color because it's inspired by Totoro :)  I also got this in a mini-jar because I wanted the Totoro sticker haha.

Zug Zug!

Zug Zug!:  matte brown.  I had to get this in a full-size jar because it was going to be discontinued so it was on sale in one size.  I don't regret it because it's a pretty versatile color.  Also, my fiance who used to play WoW chuckled at the name haha.

For the Horde

For the Horde:  matte red with gold sparkles.  I really wanted this color because I'd been into reds lately.  This did not disappoint, it's a really pigmented red!

Daylight:  Shadowform, Spacey Wacey, Undercity, Keeper of the Forest, For the Horde

Flash:  Shadowform, Spacey Wacey, Undercity, Keeper of the Forest, For the Horde

I'm pretty happy with my order and I'm especially impressed with the matte shades.  I'm actually really lucky that all the colors I chose for jars were mattes because I tend to press my samples and mattes pretty really horribly.  The thing that put me off a bit was how little seemed to be inside the sample baggies even though it's supposed to hold 1/4th tsp of product.  I just hope it's enough to press into 26mm pans.  I made another order on Cyber Monday, so I'm really looking forward to getting that!
