I received my sample eyeshadow order from Morgana Cryptoria today! I placed my order on Jan 9, and it was shipped on the 14th. Shipping was only 1.00 for sample-only orders!
The sample jars are 1.50 and you receive 1/4 tsp, although it looks like there's a lot more! The jars are smaller than the average size i'm used to, but they were more than half full.
Samples in bags are 1/8 of a tsp and range from .50-1.50 depending on the collection. There was more pigment in the jars compared to the samples, so for future use I'd rather purchase jars as they are more convenient as well. I think I chose sample bags for some of these shades because they were unavailable in jars at the time I ordered.
Top row: aspbite, axe to grind, chivalry, alchemy, anubis, brew haha
Bottom row: glitter ghoul, gauntlet, lady godiva, cryptic, druscilla's sister, sinister, winifred
aspbite - medium purple with a pink hue in light
axe to grind - dark purple with sparkle
chivalry - this shade reminds me of a few of fryinnae's; it's a gorgeous nude with a purple and gold sheen
alchemy - fuschia! with blue sparkle
anubis - pretty amethyst-like purple with lots of multicolor sparkle
brew haha - I don't know how to quite describe this shade; it looks like a muddy green but in the light it's got this interesting purple hue with gold sparkle
glitter ghoul - matte black with colored sparkle
gauntlet - this is a complex shade. it's a dark lavender with a blue sheen, with a nude undertone
lady godiva - pink/purple mix with TONS of sparkle
cryptic - black with tons of multicolored sparkles. In RL I see mostly bright pink sparkle
druscilla's sister - bold fuschia, similiar to Azalea lipstick
sinister - dark green with gold hues
winifred - lavender with blue duochrome and sparkle
My favorites are Aspbite, Chivalry, Alchemy, Gauntlet, Lady Godiva, Druscilla's Sister and Winifred! Quite a few favorites in this haul.... Can you tell I like purple by the way? :P
Pretty! I've been wanting to try them but was put off by the minimum order amount, I think.
ReplyDeleteChivalry and Gauntlet look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteEmily, I initially didn't like the min order either, but I usually tend to spend around $15-20 when I make online purchases to make the shipping worth the while anyway. The $1 shipping is a plus!
ReplyDeleteMorgana is releasing new shades sometime this month (new lippies and eyeshadows) so maybe something will catch your eye ;)
Winifred looks sooo pretty!
