Hello everyone! Innocent+Twisted Alchemy is an indie company that I've heard a lot of rave reviews about but never tried myself. What held me back was the amount of sparkle that is prevalent in almost all her shadows. I'm not a huge sparkle person as I prefer shimmer, so I never made an order. However, I heard that they were doing a monthly subscription box which includes samples from other indie companies also. I thought that was a really interesting concept and decided to subscribe.
The Petit Subscription comes with three samples from I+T and samples from others. I also wanted to get some beautiful artwork from the owner, Linda.

| Look at this beautiful stamp! |

| The subscription comes with a detailed list of all the companies and their ingredients. Also, since it was December, I got a cute Christmas card! |

| How sweet! And that drawing is a beautiful touch :) |

| ALL THE GOODIES |

| I had no idea what this was at first. I thought it was a pin, but apparently it's a mirror, yay! |

| Baby Flame, Kiss Mint, Evil Snowflakes |
Kiss Mint: satin mint with microshimmer
Evil Snowflakes: shimmery white gold
Marquee: metallic purple-toned taupe. This is a sample from Chinovi Cosmetics which is a company I haven't gotten around to trying. I'm glad this was included in the subscription :)
Mistletoe: shimmery grass green. This is a sample from Candii Blossom Cosmetics and I haven't heard of them before, so I'm glad I got to try them.

Necropolis: shimmery bronze with red tint. This is from Persephone Minerals and I haven't heard of this company before. It's a nice color; I like the red sheen.
Sepulcher: metallic lime green. This is also from Persephone Minerals, I don't normally use lime green shadows but I will try to incorporate it into my daily routine somehow.

Overall, I'm still feeling a bit 'eh' about this box. There wasn't anything wrong with the quality of the shadows, they just weren't colors that I would normally use. I'll give this another month to see if it wows me since I have to start cutting some unnecessary costs soon. I'm going apartment hunting and I won't be able to afford things that I don't really like once I start paying bills!

This looks like an interesting subscription service! I really like that you get products from other indie companies as well.

It really is nice! I loved the fact that I got to try different companies. I think they're different each month too :) She also offers a bigger size (I think), of full-sized shadows. I think both sizes are pretty worth it considering her clamshell samples retail for $3, I believe and she includes three in the box.
