Autumn EOTD and Evil Shades Lipstick Raving

For me, this Spring has been somewhat miserable (excluding pretty makeup and my lovely readers of course!) Lots of illness, lots of disgusting soggy weather. My conclusion? I want autumn back! So here is my Autumn-themed EOTD. I may do the other seasons, I may not. Haven't decided yet.
Here's what I used:
1. Rapunzel Had Extensions - Fyrinnae
2. Fire Opal - Fyrinnae
3. Polar Bear - Fyrinnae
4. Physician's Formula 2-in-1 Ultra Black liner
5. Fire Opal - Fyrinnae
6 a. Painted Roses - Fyrinnae
6 b. Fire Opal - Fyrinnae
7. Golden Fair matte base - Everyday Minerals
Mascara: Sephora Lash Plumper in Black
And here's how it looked:

And to show off the shimmer:

I was really happy with the way this turned out and remembered I had a sample of Evil Shades lipstick in Ardour in my makeup stash. I'd dared to wear it out once before, a long time ago. And I wasn't very careful about applying it I guess because it feathered and stained a kind of orangey hot pink under whatever lip gloss I used. I felt a little like a clown. So this time I made sure to be precise in my application and I didn't use a gloss. It's very moisturizing on its own! And OH MY GOD it's sooooo pretty!
Hours later, it still hadn't come off and hadn't feathered or anything. In fact, it wore like a charm. I'm so happy with it that I ran back to Andrea's Evil Shades store and bought a full size! And then I returned to my stash and played around with other samples I'd recieved. In short, I now have Ardour and Primrose Path on order, as well as two of the super-intense looking Hardcore glosses in Not Your Barbie and Roué. I'm really excited! I usually stick to a normal-looking gloss on a daily basis because all of my lipsticks are a bit too... zealous for work. But it looks like Primrose Path is going to turn into a staple for me. I'm really liking the color.
So here are (dun dun dun!) lip swatches of Ardour. Obviously this is the first time I've ever provided a lip swatch for anything. And I'm not used to it yet. So be nice!

Thanks for reading! Please leave comments! Have a happy Friday :)

Excitement! Impatience! Cosmetics! Eeeeh!

After reading a bajillion super-positive reviews on Evil Shades cosmetics, I have placed an order for bunches of lovely samples and a full-size Wicked Gloss in Deadly. It's such an incredible red in the pictures... I'm gonna give the pic straight off their website (which is http://www.evilshades.com/ by the way... go check it out!) just cause the shade is so delicious:

I think this actually might be that gorgeous, dreamy, delicious red gloss I've been searching for. I can't wait to try it out. These lovely glosses sell for $3 per full size, and $0.85 per sample. So come on, say it with me: EEEEEEEEEH!!!

In addition to this gloss, I ordered three sample glosses: Loxensis, Lethal Kiss, and No Angel. These shades look absolutely gorgeous from the pictures I've seen and I can't wait to give my own review of the products.

As you undoubtedly know by now, I'm an avid  fan of all kinds of lip products, and that's originally what drew me in. But as I was surfing the Evil Shades site I came across a wide array of absolutely dazzling eyeshadows and some very appealing blushes. The swatches I've seen of both of these make me want to toss all my current eyeshadow palettes out the window and buy every shade of this newfound brand I can get my hands on.

Yes, I'm getting very carried away. I'm so thrilled at the prices... and the names of the products are so original and interesting. Can't wait to get my shipment (how many times have I said this now? Hmm...) and you can be sure I'll write a review as soon as it arrives.
