Evil Shades swatches & Review

I purchased some evil shades shadows during the Buy 2 get 1 free in December! I ordered on the 19th and my order shipped on the 29th, the TAT was 10 days at the time PLUS it was right before Christmas.
I ordered eyeshadows in Zombie, Coffin, Necropolis, a sample blush of Gossamer and received a free sample of deviant lipstick in Bane. Click the cut for more photos! :)

I wanted to take a photo to show the sample size of Bane. The sample size is pretty huge for the price, and apply my lippies with a lip brush so the clamshell works great for me. The full sized lipsticks are huge, and are only 4.75 which is a steal! Especially f you want something to carry around in your purse.

I love all the colors I chose! When I was googling for swatches, I did find some discrepancies in the colors. The colors here are very true to life, and just as gorgeous. Bane applies beautifully to the lips and has this amazing blue/violet duochrome which I love! I will be doing a FOTD soon along with the gossamer blush. The sample I purchased (a little over a dollar) came packed full in the clamshell. The eyeshadow jars were all stuffed full as well!

My only beef with the eyeshadows are the jars. Customs likes to hold my packages and apparently shake them around a bit, but I would've liked the jars to be taped. They have sort of funny lids that allows the shadow to accumulate around the teeth (even with the sifter seal on) so when I opened my package there was a bit of a mess. Another thing is that the labels are paper, and some of the shadow stuck to them as well.
Overall, Evil Shades is an extremely affordable company with GREAT C&S! I contacted Andrea during the most recent sale because I kept receiving a cart error for various shades. She offered, and promptly sent me an invoice for the shades I wanted! Communication was always very swift.

I have two orders already on their way to me, but am planning another one. If you check out the site, there is a limited edition lipgloss called "Push," and most of the proceeds are going towards charity. Seriously, check out evil shades!

    -Ditto. The paper labels allow the ink to run if they get wet. :( Makes me a sad panda, but I LOVE her stuff!
