The company currently has three collections, each with a rather large array of colors. The Legends collection is based on the Legend of Zelda, The Super Effective collection on Pokemon, and The Science Collection on Portal.
I ordered on the 30th, and received my items on the 7th, so a very fast turnaround. The owner ships 6 days a week and carries a three-day turnaround, so if there's a delay, one can definitely blame the post office!My order arrived in a padded envelope with this cute little package, and two pieces of asian candy, inside. Shipping was only $2.50, which considering postage and the bubble mailer, is about at cost. A major plus for this company.
For my first order I ordered 15 sample packets. I really liked how they all came with labels containing all the ingredients. Each sample contains a 1/4 teaspoon, which is enough for quite a few applications. What impressed me was that the order came with two extra samples, a nice surprise considering I didn't order any full size products.
The application of the product was very smooth. The eyeshadow didn't feel at all uncomfortable, which is something I've had a problem with before with my sensitive skin. While there really wasn't any fallout with my swatches, I would probably recommend wearing a primer with these to give them a bit more staying power.
The colors are extremely beautiful and vibrant. One thing I will note is that even the eyeshadows that don't have glitter in them are still extremely sparkly. For me, this wasn't a problem and was actually a plus, but for those wanting something matte, you would want to look elsewhere.
Here are swatches of the samples I purchased. I tried to keep them as true to color as possible:
I had an especially hard time getting a good picture of Din's Fire, it's an extremely pretty pale lilac, but it refused to show up in pictures for me.
One extremely cool thing about these products that sets them apart from the rest, is that each one is labeled with whether or not it's safe to use on your lips. For instance, Gengar, my favorite color (definitely going back for more of this) is not lip-safe, while Jigglypuff is. For reference on how these look on your lips, I used the two free samples that came in my package.
These were both applied wet, I have heard that if you mix the powder with some vaseline it makes an easier application. As is, I didn't really like the amount I had to pack on to get the color pay off. Also, it very easily washed off with a little soap and water so I would worry that unless you're maybe using something like a lip primer that as soon as you take a drink it will come right off. Still, they do cause an interesting effect, so it might be worth experimenting to try and get more staying power.
Overall, I was incredibly pleased with my order and would gladly purchase from this company again. In fact, as soon as they have their custom color services open again, I plan on getting myself a trio based on my favorite girls of Gotham City. Can't wait to see what the owner designs off of those Sirens!
