Innocent + Twisted Alchemy September 2015 Subscription Swatches


Today I have swatches of Innocent + Twisted Alchemy's September subscription box.  This one is particularly exciting because it's inspired by the Predator franchise and features some absolutely beautiful duochromes!  If you haven't read my previous posts, I really enjoyed their Alien themed box and was hoping for a Predator one and they delivered.  I like the Alien franchise more than the Predator franchise, but I like the Predator culture more as they're a mostly honorable warrior race.  Anyway, onto swatches!

Marked By the Kill:  shimmery orange copper




Cold & Dirty
Cold & Dirty:  gorgeous brown with green duochrome.  The formula and color of this shadow blows me away and is one I would consider getting a full size of!

Innocent + Twisted Alchemy October 2014 - Swatches and Review


This month's Innocent + Twisted Alchemy subscription came as a surprise because I received jars instead of clamshells.  I initially thought I received a full-sized subscription by mistake and messaged Linda about it, she assured me that she was trying out jars this month to see how they go.  Personally, I loathe clamshells and I was contemplating on unsubscribing because of all the trouble they've given me.  I+T's products are amazing and beautiful, but the hassle is too huge to ignore.

I received four eyeshadows and one blush from I+T and four additional samples from other companies.  Since this is the first time I'm receiving jars from I+T, let's discuss the packaging.  The jars are not shrink-wrapped, instead they are wrapped with adorable Halloween themed tape.  I experienced some leakage in the square jar, but the tape prevented product from leaking outside.

Innocent + Twisted Alchemy - July 2014 Subscription


Welcome back everyone!  It's time for another Innocent+Twisted Alchemy subscription box!  For any new readers, this is a monthly subscription where you get three to four eyeshadows from I+T and several samples from other indie companies.  They are sold in two sizes, a sample size (I don't remember the exact price, I believe it's $12/month), and a deluxe size ($16, I believe).  The sample size includes sample sized eyeshadows, which are normally priced at $3/each and deluxe size includes full-sized eyeshadows, which retail for $6/each.  Either way, this is a really great deal and I love trying out products from other companies as well.

This month is different because it has a mermaid theme.  The owner, Linda, hand draws everything and they're always beautiful.  The picture you see below was drawn by her and the label art were drawn by a friend of hers.  As usual, we received eyeshadow from I+T and other companies, but this month also had a blush, liquid shimmer, and a beautiful lip gloss!
