Innocent and Twisted Alchemy's December box seemed to be inspired after Inception (I haven't seen the movie so I could be wrong...) It included three eyeshadows from the brand and several other samples from other companies. All the extras from the other companies were created exclusively for this subscription. And even though I was not familiar with the movie, the shades that I+TA created were beautiful. They were also holidays appropriate without being too Christmas-y, so you can definitely wear them throughout the year.

| Paradox |
Paradox: charcoal with green and blue shimmers; it had black unblended pigments but blended away while swatching/applying
 |
| Falling into Limbo |
Falling into Limbo: beautiful festive green with gold shimmers
 |
| Deadly Projections |
Deadly Projections: berry with blue and red shimmers
 |
| Dream Within a Dream |
Dream Within a Dream: shimmery pale pink. This was a sample from Darling Girl Cosmetics, not a shade I would normally wear, but I can use it to highlight my inner corner.
 |
| The Architect |
The Architect: matte brick red blush. This was a blush sample from Chirp Cosmetics and I didn't realize beforehand, so it's applied as an eyeshadow instead. I'm sure it can be sheered out to a more wearable color on the cheeks, but at least you know it can be used as an eyeshadow as well.

| BBRRRRAWWMM |
BBRRRRAWWMM: dark purple brown with gold sparkles. This was a sample from Shiro Cosmetics and applies very smoothly. I can see myself using it in the outer corners of my eyes to deepen an eye look.

| Dream a Little Bigger Darling |
Dream a Little Bigger Darling: charcoal purple with tons of gold, silver, and red sparkles! This was an eyeshadow sample from AFK Cosmetics and I thought the sparkles were so fun.

Lead is one of the more interesting gray/charcoal shades I've seen from any company! I really like Dream a Little Bigger, Darling. And yeah, this collection was definitely based on Inception!
ReplyDeleteHaha are you talking about Paradox? Lead is part of Mad Lab and is a straight up lead color ;) I agree, all three shades that I+TA made this month were great. Dream a Little Bigger is really nice and I feel like the swatch didn't show off the sparkles well; it's a lot prettier in person!
