Halloween 2013 Fantasy Makers Glitter Palettes

Here comes my last belated Halloween makeup post!  This is another set by Fantasy Makers by Wet n Wild.  It's their glitter palettes that retail for $6/each and also comes with a black mini Color Icon pencil and body stencils.  I honestly just bought these for the stencils to decorate my palettes with later on.  I had heard horrible reviews of the glitter palettes from previous years.

The glitter palettes are actually just cream eyeshadows with glitter sprayed on the top.  The glitter is not deposited throughout the shadow so it wipes off easily.  However, if you happen to get glitter mixed with your cream shadows, they clump up horribly as you will see in swatches.  

All photos are taken in daylight and swatches are done with no primer:

Pixie Princess

Pixie Princess swatch

Pixie Princess:  yellow glitter over gold cream, light green glitter over lime green cream, pink glitter over light pink cream, blue glitter over purple cream, teal glitter over light blue cream, and metallic copper cream.  The only good one out of the bunch was the metallic copper cream because the glitters were not obnoxiously chunky.  The metallic copper cream had fine microglitters on the top that did not interfere with the cream when swatching.

Femme Fatale

Femme Fatale swatch

Femme Fatale:  rainbow glitter over black cream, iridescent glitter over white cream, silver glitter over silver cream, metallic red cream, metallic burnt orange cream, and metallic lavender cream.  The good ones in this set were the black cream, red cream, and orange cream.  The white was the worst as the glitters made it horribly chunky and gritty.

Halloween 2013 Fantasy Makers Eyeshadow Duos

Here I come with another late post!  These are the Halloween makeup sets from Fantasy Makers who are also made by Wet n Wild.  I know it's way past Halloween but I was so caught up with work so I'm churning them all out now!

I was excited to get my hands on these because I love the quality of Wet n Wild eyeshadows and these are by the same company.  There are four makeup kits from this collection.  They include an eyeshadow duo, a set of false eyelashes, a mini nail polish, and a sample-sized Megalast lipstick.

Notoriously Morbid Halloween '13 Coffin Set

Hi everyone!  I know I'm posting this a bit late since Halloween is over, sorry!  Notoriously Morbid is another indie company that I had yet to try out.  I had seen a lot of good reviews on them from various bloggers and redditors.  You can visit their store here.

I was reluctant to purchase from them at first because I'd been buying so much indie makeup recently and put myself on a no-buy.  After seeing a lot of reviews from the lovely Estelle, she gave me the push I needed to order from NM.

I would have waited a little longer, but NM came out with a new set for Halloween and they came in adorable little coffins (while supplies lasted).  The set comes with five full sized eyeshadow samples and one Coffin Kisser (lip balm) for $20.

The order came with a beautiful, fancy paper as a thank-you note as well as an invoice underneath.  In the special notes, I had asked her to send me her best-selling jewel-toned shadows as samples since I didn't know what to specifically ask for.  She wrote me a note above apologizing for not being able to send me blush samples.  It amuses me because I didn't actually ask for it but I had mentioned in comments to Estelle that I thought her blushes were beautiful :)  I don't know if it's a coincidence, but it seems like the owner reads reviews and comments and I find it awesome that she remembered me!

Free samples and Halloween goodies :D
