Whew; there you have it! This is all of the shades that Notoriously Morbid currently carries, along with some discontinued/limited edition shades. It was an extremely long post so thank you for sticking with it through the end! I will be updating this post periodically as NM continues to release new collections. I hope this comprehensive swatch post helps you figure out which shades would be right for you!
- Jolie ♥
I placed my first ever Notoriously Morbid haul yesterday while they had their Friday 13th promo code & your swatches were SO helpful in helping me decide what colours to try out.
ReplyDeleteI would've never really thought to look at shades 'Lizard On A Windowpane' or 'Kompanion no. 9' but your pics really show off how beautiful they are & all the subtle tones & shimmers. I also picked up a full size 'Bloody Awful Poet' as I'm in need of a good matte black (& for the Buffy artwork) and minis of 'The Grand Empress' as I love shades like it & 'Goodbye Sweetie' as I need a new highlight shade (& River is one of my favourite DW characters).
I SO wished you could still get 'Where The Kids & The Vamps Go' as it looks so very pretty.
I can't believe I got a ton of stuff for literally £10 which is a insane. & their Mini Jars are so generous they have almost as much product as many other brands full size but at half the price.
I picked up one of their much raved about Coffin Kissers in 'Deans Seductive Strawberries' as I'm a big Supernatural fan - I would've got 'Cas's Enochian Schanpps' but Watermelon Cinnamon just sounded like an odd combo to me but if I like the formula maybe next time I'll try it out.
Now that I'm looking through your swatches again I'm kicking myself for not ordering a few more shades. The one thing that sucks about being in the UK is that a majority of the best indies are US based & International Shipping can be pricey but next time Carrie has free shipping code I'll definitely be placing another order.
I can't wait for my order to arrive (& I'm pretty sure I'll end up caving before the first reaches me to place a second order). Btw your pressed palettes are a beaut. Whenever I see yours & Kate of Drivel About Frivol's I get so jealous. Can I ask, what sort of palette do you use to store them? Like a empty Coastal Scents or a Z Palette or something? I seriously need to get my lazy self together & start creating my own pressed palette but I'm just scared I'm going to end up ruining all my loose shadows in the process.

Thank you! I felt a little bad about some swatches because I couldn't accurately show how strong the color shifts were sometimes. I never gave Lizard on a Windowpane a second glance either, but it's been recommended to me SO many times on the subreddit that I had to try it out. Kompanion no.9 also looks rather dull on the site (I ordered it solely for K-9) and was so shocked by the pink sheen! And yay, fellow Whovian! River Song is my favorite DW character ever and Goodbye Sweetie always makes me really sad :(
DeleteCarrie is really nice, maybe you can shoot her an email and see if she has any extra Where the Kids & The Vamps Go?
I hear ya on Supernatural. I watched it when it first came out almost 10 years ago, I was really young then so I stopped watching because I was really scared... Now that I'm older and NM came out with Supernatural stuff, I decided to marathon it on Netflix. I'm on season 6 now and not looking back - I'm pretty sure Cass is my favorite character hehe.
Which shades were you interested in but ended up not ordering? There's a deal every single Friday and I see the free shipping deal a good amount. I really like that as she comes out with new collections often so I purchase them then.
I actually use palettes I bought off eBay here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281229007334?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
They come with aluminum pans so it's not magnetized. I've heard that you can just put magnetic tape to the bottom of the pan and it'll work just as well. Pressing isn't as hard as it sounds! It takes a tiny bit of trial and error, but it's worth it :)
Yep, a big fellow Whovian over here. 'Goodbye Sweetie' is such a sad name! River is definitely one of my favourite DW characters ever. I know for sure I'll end up with all the Doctor Who themed shadows as well as all the Buffy ones too. I'm a complete sucker for nerdy themed makeup but it's okay since they're all so pretty. I'm not sure if you've bought from them before but there's an indie brand called Madd Style Cosmetics & they have a Doctor Who inspired collection too (but it's all matte shades) with several colours based on River as well as lots of other pretty stuff.
ReplyDeleteCarrie is so incredible & just so lovely! I took your advice & asked her is she had any spare of 'Where The Kids & The Vamps Go' & for her to invoice me if she has & she replied super fast saying that she'll just add it on to my order no need for an invoice. Which is so generous & sweet of her. A big part of why I love shopping from indies is that they always have such amazing customer service. I'm always so pleasantly surprised by just how great everyone is.
Me too - originally I was too young to watch Supernatural when it began & the demons possessing people used to freak me out too much but I started watching it a few years back I think when they were on season 5 or 6 & I caught a few episodes got hooked & then went back & watched it all from S1. I envy you with your American Netflix we don't have half as much on the brit version. Castiel is definitely my fav followed by Bobby.
Almost all of them. Lol, it'll probably be quicker for me to list the ones I wouldn't pick up - I just don't really wear super bright or warm shades on my eyes usually but anyway the ones I really want at the moment from NM are: 'Rain on Cold Glass', 'Neno', 'Kilgarrah', 'Cry Wolf Cry', 'Trench Coat', '25 Years', 'Rose', 'Ebeneezer I Release You', 'Pornographic Princess', 'Boca del Infierno', 'Crimson Horror', 'Sometimes My Arms Bend Back', 'Gretel's Ghost', 'One November', 'Speak To The Devil', 'I Am Afflicted, Give me $20', 'Spiteful Jas', 'Teacher in Tweed', 'Gypsy Curse', 'No More A Witch', 'No One Was Saved', 'Walks In Moonlight', 'Young Merlin', 'Velvet Hammer', 'Snow's Fury', 'Look Upon Me' & 'Cry Innocent'.
Thanks so much for the link to the palettes. I ordered 2 of them & saved a a few quid as I thought I'd pick up a Z Palette or something but these are so much better & affordable. I've seen so many people customise theirs beautifully too & I can't wait to do that. I'm starting to pick up actual pressing supplies & accumulating info from several different pressing tutorials (including yours) so that I feel well prepared & hopefully fingers crossed less likely to make mistakes. It'll be the perfect thing to do on our inevitably long rainy London summer days while Netflixing the second season of Orange Is The New Black.

I actually have looked at Madd Style Cosmetic's Doctor Who collection. However, I'm not too fond of mattes, and some of the colors didn't seem too accurate to me (I don't remember which ones off the top of my head). I opted for Geek Chic and Victorian Disco's Doctor Who inspired shades instead. You should check those out if you haven't already; they're stunning!
DeleteI'm so glad she had that extra shadow for you :) Carrie is an amazing person and I love interacting with her on the Customer's Crypt. You should also join the group if you enjoy sneak peeks and getting to voice your opinion about their business/colors/collection/swatches.
I JUST started season 7 of Supernatural and I'm kind of sad about what happens to Castiel. At least I know he'll be back for other seasons. I didn't even get as far as demonic possession; I skipped out on the Bloody Mary episode! Boy, I was such a scaredy cat haha. I hope NM comes out with a Supernatural eyeshadow collection too, that would be so great.
You listed a lot of my favorites! I love 'Kilgarrah', 'Trench Coat', '25 Years', 'Sometimes My Arms Bend Back', 'No More a Witch', and 'Young Merlin'. If I were to really recommend some must-haves for your next order, I have to say 'Kilgarrah', '25 Years', and 'Young Merlin'. The Camelot shades go great together and they're beautiful :)
You're welcome for the links! Just remember that they are unmagnetized, so you will have to either magnetize them yourself, or leave them as is and not travel with the palettes. I don't travel with my palettes so I leave them unmagnetized. Pressing is not as daunting as it seems, and now you know which NM shades to avoid pressing :) If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
