Two in One, with a little update: Scaredy Cat Cosmetics

I'm a little backed up on my themed looks. Not sure how, really, as I've been posting a ton lately. But nevertheless, I've got two that haven't been posted and I'm just going to bunch them together in this post. They're both Neverending Story - themed. The first is called The Neverending Story... go figure! I tried to capture the book's description of the book with this EOTD. Confusing? yes. It's supposed to be shimmery coppery silk, and the ink is in two colors: green and purple. I don't think I did too bad capturing it, but see for yourself!
I used:
1. Sun Silk - Dash*
2. Avian Shapeshifter - Fyrinnae
3. Avian Shapeshifter - Fyrinnae*
4. Immortality - Fyrinnae
5. Avian Shapeshifter - Fyrinnae
6. a. Celery Shimmer - Dash
6. b. Red Plum - Dash
7. S.S. Anne - Shiro
* - With a thin sweep of Faceted - Pure Luxe over the top for added shimmer

And the second look is called "All Those B's"

In this case, all those B's isn't referring to Bastian Balthazar Bux, but to Broken Glass, Brine, and Beetle. This is pretty much an all-Detrivore look, with a little Fyrinnae.

1. Broken Glass - Detrivore

2. Beetle - Detrivore

3. Brine - Detrivore

4. N/A

5. Beetle - Detrivore

6. NYC Black Eye Pencil (smudged)

7. Titania - Fyrinnae

As for the update, I heard about the 5 for 5 trial vial deal at Scaredy Cat Cosmetics and leapt at it. If you haven't seen their colors go check them out. They're gorgeous!

Really excited about those, and the packaging is ace. I love the cosmetic round so-and-so-gram jars, but Scaredy Cat packages their products in lovely decorated full sizes and the 1/4 tsp trial vials are little corked bottles!

Second Pure Luxe Experiment

I didn't think I'd get around to this yet, but obviously ended up with enough time on my hands. I've come to the conclusion that, with this camera, it is nearly impossible to photograph these Kaleidoscope colors :(
Which is really a shame, cause they're so pretty! I got two pictures, but then gave up after about a million fails. Here they are, and here's what I used. All the colors are Pure Luxe except the eyeliner (#4)

1. Illusion
2. Titania
3. Faceted
4. Beetle - Detrivore
5. Visions
6 (a). Mirage
6 (b). Visions
7. Titania

And here's a pretty (blurry) picture of sunset through the trees.

New Orders and EOTD

Hey guys! I just placed my second order with Fyrinnae, and I'm super excited. It included two lip lustres this time and I'm not sure what to expect, but I bet whatever consistency they really are, they'll be wonderful. Also, after a month's wait, my first Archetype Cosmetics order has apparently shipped although I can't get any tracking info and it's been several days. The last order I recieved was a set of 9 samples from Pure Luxe. I've read a lot of reviews that say their products are definitely individual, and others that say that they're just repackaged TKB. I'm really hoping it's not the latter, but I haven't seen any replicas of the colors I bought. I'll do a review on those later, but I just got back from being on holiday and I'm still kind of lazy. The review and swatches will be up in a few days.

I'm including this EOTD, because the sun is actually shining here, and I felt that these colors would catch it well. Sorry about the lighting. I haven't quite mastered this camera yet.

Here's what I used:

1. Rapunzel Had Extensions - Fyrinnae (Detrivore's Hilite Gold in inner corner as a highlight)
2. Blend of Rapunzel Had Extensions and Dressed to Kill - Fyrinnae
3. Celery Shimmer - Dash Cosmetics
4. Beetle - Detrivore
5. Dressed to Kill - Fyrinnae
6. (a) Rapunzel Had Extensions - Fyrinnae
6. (b) Dressed to Kill - Fyrinnae
7. Titania - Fyrinnae

You can see the colors a bit better in these pictures:
