Notoriously Morbid Calling Corners, Sealed Judgment, and Superstitio Collection - Swatches and Review

Look at all those goodies!  I'm so excited to bring to you this review which features not one, not two, but three separate collections!  Because of this, the review will be super picture heavy.  I had actually made two separate orders, but Carrie decided to ship them together for me, which was an amazing surprise :)  

Early on in the month, Notoriously Morbid introduced a new feature called, "The Vanishing Cabinet".  It is their take on a monthly subscription.  Each month, there's a new limited edition collection released and you can choose whether or not to buy it - they sell out quickly!  This is a great option for people who don't like the actual commitment of subscriptions and want to be able to skip collections that they don't like.  

For their first Vanishing Cabinet, the collection "Calling Corners" is based off of the movie "The Craft".  I had seen this movie a few years ago and I wasn't a die-hard fan.  However, there's no denying the influence it had on later supernatural series such as "Charmed" (which I am a fan of).  I placed an order as soon as it was released; it was also eligible for Free Day Friday, which included free samples of the whole Sealed Judgement Set that was released during Black Friday last year.  I had regretfully missed out on the set when it released so it was wonderful that Carrie decided to bring it back for a bit :)

Lastly, a permanent collection was released on Friday the 13th.  It's called "Superstitio" and the eyeshadows were influenced by various superstitions!  I really loved everything and can't wait to show you the swatches!

My order came in this cute and durable paper bag this time.  I love the new packaging!

This tiny bag (with cute glittery skull sticker) stored my free samples :D  I love it!

Cool box which housed my Vanishing Cabinet

Calling Corners

Air & Invention

Air & Invention:  pale blue with gold shimmer

Water & Intuition

Water & Intuition:  aqua with green shimmer

Fire & Feeling

Fire & Feeling:  orange with red shimmer

Mother & Earth

Mother & Earth:  mossy brown with TONS of gold sparkles.  This shade is no joke; complete glitter bomb!

Relax...It's Only Magic

Relax...It's Only Magic:  blood red gloss.  I received this as a surprise sample in a clamshell a few weeks before and I really loved it.  Now that I have it in mini-tube form complete with a doe-foot applicator, I love it even more!  It's not a full coverage gloss, but definitely gives a pretty red tint.  The texture is thin and non-sticky.

Chalice

Chalice:  This is a body butter sample from Black Violet.  Now I'm really horrible at describing scents, but the first thing that came to my mind was baby wipes/lotion?  I wasn't entirely sure so I looked up the official description.  The official site description of Chalice is, "Intuitive & spiritual. She's the element of water. Serene waters, cyclamen, white lilies, smooth musk and a harmonizing touch of sandalwood."  I have no idea what any of those things are supposed to smell like, but it's definitely not a bad smell.  It smells very clean to me and I love clean scents.  I really urge you to check out Black Violet because everything I've received from them so far smell amazing (I'm looking at you, Red Lotus!).

Sealed Judgment Set

Conquest

Conquest:  matte ivory

Pale Rider

Pale Rider:  matte dusty lavender

War

War:  matte brick red.  This one impressed me the most; it's just something I don't see very often and it's gorgeous.

Famine

Famine:  matte black

Daylight:  Conquest, Pale Rider, War, Famine

Flash:  Conquest, Pale Rider, War, Famine

Superstitio

7 Years Shattered

7 Years Shattered:  silvery white with blue sparkles

It's Not Raining

It's Not Raining:  lavender with gold shimmer.  This shade is gorgeous and the gold shimmer actually shows up a lot more in person.

Evil Eye

Evil Eye:  coral pink with gold shimmer

Ladder to Hell

Ladder to Hell:  shimmery mustard brown with red sheen.  This is one of my favorites; the texture is silky and the color shift is noticeable. 

Your Total is $6.66

Your Total is $6.66:  dollar bill green with copper and gold shimmer.  The swatch looks more grass green, but it's definitely dollar green in person.  It's an interesting color and the copper shimmer gives it a great twist.

Black Cat Crossing

Black Cat Crossing:  charcoal with green sheen.  This shade is absolutely beautiful!  The green sheen is a lot more prominent than the swatch is showing.  It's simply gorgeous and a must-have from this collection.

Bad Trinity

Bad Trinity:  dark navy with purple sparkles.  This is another stunning shade - it's super pigmented as well.  

Cracks in the Pavement

Cracks in the Pavement:  cement gray with slight copper sheen.  This is an amazing color with a silky texture.  It was actually pulled from the collection because of the similarities with 25 Years (from Lost in the Lodge collection).  However, we had a chance to get a sample of it if we wanted to and I really wanted this.  I really like this color and don't think it's too similar to 25 Years.  I hope it comes back because the texture and color is amazing.

Looking at the overall swatches now, I would say Superstitio actually makes a pretty nice summer collection.  The lighter shades are pretty cheerful while you still have the darker shades for your crease.  I really like Superstitio and I'm so glad it's permanent.  However, I did notice some of the labels weren't positioned correctly so the names ended up being cut off.  You can probably notice that in Black Cat Crossing.  Other than that, I'm so happy with both my orders and can't wait for more Vanishing Cabinet collections.  Coming out with new collections every month must be tiring, but it makes me so excited and happy to see them :D  I mean, I'm so obsessed with NM that it gets harder to wait so long for collections to come out.  

Also, regarding swatches, I did both individual arm swatches and collection swatches this time.  Let me know if you want them both or prefer no individual arm swatches.  I used to do the individuals, but found that it took up too much space in the blog post.  If you find it redundant then let me know.  However, if the additional swatches are helpful to you, I would gladly keep doing it!
