Notoriously Morbid January 2018 Vanishing Cabinet - The Midnight Society Vol 1 Swatches

Welcome back, everyone! I have a short swatch post of Notoriously Morbid's first Vanishing Cabinet of 2018. It was inspired by Nickelodeon's Are You Afraid of the Dark? The VC included four mini eyeshadows and NM's first finishing powder. NM's current TAT is 5 - 7 business days, but the VC ships on a different schedule.

Help Me

Help Me: ivory with pink and gold sparkles

To Trap a Creature of Night

To Trap a Creature of Night: olive brown with gold shimmers

Submitted for the Approval

Submitted for the Approval: coral with pink and blue sparkles and gold shimmers

Give it Back

Give it Back: merlot with blue and pink sparkles

The End

The End: translucent finishing powder. This was NM's first foray into finishing powder and they've done an amazing job. I've used it for awhile and it's extremely long lasting and mattifying without looking powdery. I found that it lasted more than 12 hours on the skin.

Overall, I was really excited about this VC mainly because of the finishing powder. I never had cable growing up so I wasn't able to watch the Are You Afraid of the Dark? series, though I should start catching up now. The eyeshadow colors made for a nice warm neutral eye look and I highly recommend picking up the finishing powder now that it's available for purchase on the website.

My Pretty Zombie Swatches and First Impressions!

I feel like it's been awhile since I've done a first impressions review. Since my collection has grown rather large, I try to limit how many new shops to try out. I've had my eye on My Pretty Zombie for awhile because of their science/morbid themed names and beautiful duochromes. After listening to their interview on beauty podcast, This Week in Makeup, I decided to finally take the plunge. I enjoyed the interview as well as the owner's personality. I also participated in an exchange with some of my indie friends and received some more MPZ products from my awesome partner.

If you haven't listened to the TWIM interview, the owner stated that she doesn't read reviews, but does read emails. I ended up emailing her because of how ecstatic I was from all the extra Halloween goodies that were included in my order. She included some fake teeth, notepads, candy, and a pencil. It really made me feel like a kid again and I loved it. So again, thank you, Andrea!
