Innocent + Twisted Alchemy June 2016 Subscription Swatches

Welcome back, everyone!  Sorry I've been a bit late with these posts; I've been moving and had to push back posting in favor of packing and all that fun stuff.  I have swatches of Innocent + Twisted Alchemy's June subscription box.  The box just went through a price increase and is now $18/month.  The shop's usual TAT is 14-18 business days though the box doesn't operate on standard TAT.  This month's theme is one of the Final Fantasy series and the overall color theme is purple.

Nora

Nora:  teal with gold and green shimmers

Lightning

Lightning:  gorgeous pink base with blue duochrome.  The duochrome is extremely strong with this shade and I highly recommend picking up any leftovers the shop puts up.

Noel

Noel:  lavender with gold and green sparkles and pink shimmers

Sera

Sera:  dark purple with blue, pink, and gold sparkles

Mog

Mog:  light pink with gold duochrome and red shimmers.  This was a full sized eyeshadow from Dusk Cosmetics.  I've been meaning to order from this brand for forever.  The label art is beautiful and they have themes I enjoy.

Innocent + Twisted Alchemy August 2015 Subscription Swatches

I know this is a bit late, but here's Innocent + Twisted Alchemy's August subscription box!  I was particularly happy for this one because of the theme.  It was originally inspired after my favorite podcast, Welcome to Night Vale, which I listen to before bed because Cecil's voice is soothing and I pre ordered the book as well (I also saw the cast at a live reading!).  However, due to the creators of the show asking people not to sell fan made products, I+T's owner, Linda, changed the names.  Several guest indies who created products exclusively for that box didn't get to change their names in time so it's still Night Vale themed.  I asked Linda what the original names were, mainly because I love WtNV and will be putting them next to the new names.

Most of the colors are also purple themed, as that is WtNV's color palette.  I don't usually care for purples, but I'm such a sucker for packaging and themes that I absolutely love this box ♥

Innocent + Twisted Alchemy August 2014 Subscription - Swatches and Review

Hi everyone, today I'm reviewing my August subscription package from Innocent + Twisted Alchemy!  Let me tell you, Linda has been shipping these out so early; it's really amazing.  I received my shipping notice on August 4th and received it two days later!  This month is also quite special because it's another themed package.  If you couldn't tell from the envelope already, the theme of August is Nana.  It's a manga that's quite popular; sadly, I couldn't get into it.  I've actually read the other work from the same author called Paradise Kiss.  Either way, I'm sure the colors of this month will call out to fans of Nana!

Also, look how cute the packaging is!  I absolutely swooned over the pretty decorations and swooned more when it actually opened up to be a mini paper bag; ughhh.  Anyway..onto the swatches (before I swoon more).
