Moonrise Studio / The Chequered Lily Review With Swatches! Plus EOTD

Okay, so I only just found my camera today. Sorry! But here are all the pretty swatches of the Moonrise Studio (soon to be called The Chequered Lily Apothecary) eyeshadows, and this post will be a bit picture heavy. Enjoy!
You can find this company on Etsy, or you can just click here ^.^
A lot of these shadows are very glittery, so I swatched all of them over Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy. Also, I labelled the free samples that I got, those weren't labelled when I got them. I guess I'm a little OCD about my makeup organization haha :) As for customer service, it was great. Kim is super nice, and convo'd me on Etsy after my order. It shipped within a matter of days and arrived the same day as my Fortune Cookie Soap order.
Honestly, I love all of these shadows. They have wow-factor for sure and they're pretty complex. I keep trying to narrow down my favorites, but I end up giving up because I can't choose. So here are all the lovely colors! I like that the labels all say which you should use with primer and which aren't lip safe. Saves checking.

Here are some pictures showing about how much product comes in each sample baggie. Kim says it's 2-3 applications, but I've got a feeling I can make them last a bit longer. This is the shade Sushi Ginger.


 On to the swatches! I did these a little differently than I usually do; just two at a time so I could show off the detail better. Some of these have more than one picture, depending on how well my camera captured them the first time.
Candy Floss and Sushi Ginger:
Kali and The 13th (see the pretty magenta shimmer!):

Charlotte and November (have I mentioned how pretty all the eyeshadow names are?):

Jareth (this looks the color of Nutella in the baggie, but it's actually gorgeous PURPLE!) and Oakmoss:

Terra and A Dustland Fairytale:


Fragile and Neverwhere:

Silk and Snow, Glass, Apples (SUCH an awesome color!):
Naïve and Stormbreak:

Milky Way (filled with crazy awesome holo-glitter) and Stormbringer:

Black Valentine and Oxalis:

And here's a soft EOTD with some of the shadows I got. Everything's from Moonrise Studio unless stated otherwise:
1. Naïve
2. A Dustland Fairytale
3. Fragile
4. Beetle - Detrivore
5. A Dustland Fairytale
6. Sable Brown - Rimmel
7. Golden Fair matte base - Everyday Minerals

Pretty pictures:






So I give this company major points for blendability, uniqueness, and overall awesomeness. Go check it out, buy, and post reviews! Happy Friday and weekend :)

The Tiny Post

What I actually got by way of post today wasn't tiny at all. But my camera has gone awol! So this post is a tiny one, telling you all to go check out Moonrise Studio on Etsy RIGHT NOW: Moonrise Studio because I got my order of samples in the mail today and I'll be damned if there's a single one I don't wanna buy a full size of. The colors are SO unique, and the quality... well, I found myself comparing them to the Arcane Magic collection by Fyrinnae, if that tells you anything. They're amazing! Filled with shimmer, glitter, delicious drool-worthy color! Plus customer service is fantastic, and Kim is so nice :) I will definitely be purchasing from her again, very soon!
AND my Fortune Cookie Soaps all arrived today, and I bathed with the Caramel Apple. I feel squeaky clean and moisturized, plus my bathroom now smells like those caramel-apple lollipops people always seem to be handing out on Halloween. Love!
I'm done raving now. I'll have the real picture/reviews up tomorrow.

Moonrise Studio Cosmetics

I was browsing Etsy for exciting new makeup and I ran across this selection of truly gorgeous loose eyeshadows from Moonrise Studio. There was a 10-sample deal for 4 dollars and another of 7 samples for $3, so I got both because I couldn't narrow down my options, all the colors were so lovely! From what I've read, shipping is supposed to be pretty fast so I'm expecting to hear back probably by next week. I can't wait!
And in the meantime, for those of you who hadn't already heard of this company (because I sure hadn't, and I wish I'd known sooner!) here's the link to the Etsy page: Moonrise Studio
If you get the chance to check it out or if you've tried these shadows before, put a comment below telling me about it! I wanna know what colors you liked most because in the future (with a few more followers obviously) I'm seriously considering putting together a giveaway with these shades :)
