I am always game to try new fun things. You may have seen my orange lipgloss post. This gloss is from Venomous Cosmetics. They have some wild, creative and fun products! Among their items is eye makeup, lipgloss, lipstick, and blush. I purchased some lipgloss and pressed eyeshadow from them, and they were awesome enough to send me LOTS of items to try and test, and even some goodies for a lucky reader to win!
First the eyeshadows: (Swatched on my arm)
Glinda- A beautiful soft pink! Great for a highlight color.
Scarecrow’s Brilliance- This is a nice matte brown. It has a tinge of orange to it. I think it would be great on the lid or crease.
Fire Ant-This one is wild and pretty! It’s a orange/red/pink color. (if that’s even possible) I’m anxious to use this and see what I can do with it.
Ruby Slippers-A GORGEOUS red with such pretty sparkle. Another one that I am anxious to experiment with.
Secrets of Cario- I LOVE THIS COLOR! Gorgeous green with an amazing sheen. I could totally see myself using this one all the time.
Emerald City Limits- Another nice green- lighter than Secrets of Cario, also with a bit of sheen to it. Really like this one too.
Boomslang- How much do you LOVE the name of this? I would call this one closer to turquoise- with a matte finish.
Man-O-War- Royal Blue with a matte finish.
Atmospheric-This one is amazing- navy blue with gorgeous sparkle. Hello smokey eye!
Wicked Witch of the West- Matte black. enough said.
I thought all of the shadows went on really nicely, and had a nice texture, with the exception of the Wicked Witch of the West. It was a little bit chalky, but it built up pretty well. It wouldn’t stop me from buying it. The shadows have good staying power, it wasn’t easy to get them washed off!
The Glosses- (swatched on my arm)
Zero Gravity- This is a really pretty pearly color, with flashes of pink, orange and lavender.
Horse of Another Color- Pearly mid-toned purple. So nice!
Invasion- POW! In your face hot pink! No sparkle in this one, it doesn’t need it! The color speaks for itself.
Electrify- My favorite of all the samples, a killer red with lots of SPARKLE. It has just enough of an orange tone to work on me. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
No Place Like Home- Very sophisticated brown with red tones. This is a DARK one. It is gorgeous on.
I also got 3 full sized glosses.
Hyper Speed- A Rose colored gloss with a green sheen. Trust me, it good.
Venom-LOVE this! A clear pearly gloss with slight green/gold shimmer.
Rocket to the Moon- Reddish- orange, and the slightest hint of blue in the light. So COOL!
These are AWESOME glosses! They feel so nourishing on, and the color is just rad. I will definitely keep these in my repertoire.
I ordered one full sized pressed shadow.
The Walrus- Love this color! Its a brown with purple shift. Looks so good with my skin-tone. Kinda reminds me of an Urban Decay color, Lounge.
So as you can see,Venomous really spoiled me with samples! Guess what though? They want to spoil one of my readers too! One of you will get a full size lipgloss, a fullsize pressed shadow and several sample packets! I’m so excited to be able to do this GREAT giveaway!
Leave me a comment, and answer this question- For cosmetics, do you prefer WILD or subdued? Both? Tell me your thoughts! The giveaway goes through April 11, and Ill pick the winner on April 12th.
