<br />
I'm soooo behind on my Viva Glam lippies, you guys - it feels like the Ariana Grande ones only just came out and now this Taraji P. Henson collaboration is done and dusted, with Sia being the latest to partner up. Evidently, I've been living under a rock, as it gave me such a surprise to see the Sia display at my local MAC counter the other week. It looks like a lovely red but for today, let's take a peek at the first of Taraji P. Henson's two Viva Glam releases. This vivid pink was released in February 2017 and was followed up by a rich bronze, Viva Glam Taraji P. Henson 2.<br />
<br />
In case you've also been living under a rock and haven't heard of Viva Glam, it's a programme that MAC has built to support those with AIDS/HIV. What I really like about it is that it's not just a percentage of proceeds or profits that goes towards the MAC AIDS Fund - it's every single cent of every Viva Glam product sale. In addition to the limited edition shades MAC release bi-annually with celebrity spokespeople, MAC also has a permanent lineup of six other Viva Glam shades. If you'd like to, you can find out more about the MAC AIDS Fund <a href="http://www.macaidsfund.org/home/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

I love the packaging for Taraji's lipsticks, although let's be honest, hot pink will always win me over! The matte pink tube pairs well with the traditional metallic pink twist-up mechanism that the Viva Glam range always bears.<br />

<b>Viva Glam Taraji P. Henson </b>is described as a 'matte fuchsia with pearl' and has a Matte finish. I must say, I am enjoying how MAC has been peppering their new releases with the occasional frosted matte in recent years. Keep 'em coming! Viva Glam Taraji P. Henson is a powerhouse fuchsia, uninhibited in its saturation and bold matte finish. The pearl is subtle but it's there, giving the pink just a little more dimension than your standard matte. It lasted seven hours on me without being drying or straying outside the lip line, which always puts a lipstick in my good books. It does leave a hot pink stain in its wake, which is slightly pesky but not a personal dealbreaker.</div>

This next batch of ColourPop Lippie Stix is almost all discontinued - again. Sorry guys!! As I've mentioned before, ColourPop do often bring back old shades, so cross those fingers and toes if you like the look of these. You just never know!<br />

<br />
The packaging for the Lippie Stix is a glossy white twist up slim tube with a slanted lip bullet. I really like the smaller surface area of this lipstick style as it allows more precision than your traditional larger teardrop shaped bullet. Each lipstick has a coloured end cap which matches the colour inside as well as a label with the name and finish.<br />

<b>Formula Overview:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The shades I have to show you today are a mixture of Matte X, Matte and Glossy and Creme. All are richly pigmented and comfortable on the lips, I didn't find any of this batch drying. The Matte X has a velvety, powdery feeling, while the Mattes, Cremes and Glossy glide on and settle to a lightweight finish with varying levels of shine.</div>

<b><a href="https://amzn.to/2IlKxFk" target="_blank">Skimpy</a> (discontinued) </b>is a pale warm nude and has a Glossy finish. Skimpy is semi-opaque, which I personally find more flattering with a shade like this and until its recent discontinuation was the last vestige of the Glossy finish. If you love shades like MAC Creme D'Nude and Japanese Maple, Skimpy is worth tracking down. I found there was some demarcation, which you can see in the swatch above but mostly it wore well, lasting four hours.</div>

<b><a href="https://amzn.to/2rF59RY" target="_blank">Toy</a> (discontinued)</b> is described as a 'light peachy nude' and has a Creme finish. The colour payoff is impressive for a light and glossy shade, it reminds me strongly of MAC Myth but Toy performs better. If only it wasn't discontinued! You can still get its co-ordinating Lippie Pencil from ColourPop, oddly enough. Toy lasts four hours on me. </div>

<b><a href="https://amzn.to/2rJVrO7" target="_blank">Ellarie</a> </b>is described as a 'matte deep cranberry' and has a Matte finish. Though it still provides decent colour payoff, it's one of ColourPop's sheerer mattes and has a level of sheen I would really associate more with a satin than a matte. I liked the smooth application and the longevity - seven hours in all, without being drying - but Ellarie feathered slightly and I experienced gathering in the corners of my lips, too. In all honesty, ColourPop can and do produce better matte reds than this. </div>

<b><a href="https://amzn.to/2KnX2Rp" target="_blank">Kiddo</a> (discontinued) </b>is a nude pink with a hint of brown and has a Sheer finish. I honestly unabashedly adore this and can't imagine what ColourPop were thinking when they discontinued it. I know the Sheer Lippie Stix, on the whole, weren't great, but it wasn't Kiddo's fault. Don't make Kiddo pay for the crimes of others, ColourPop! Kiddo is very likely dupable but I can't think of anything off the top of my head that is shimmer-free and I really enjoy ColourPop's formula. Kiddo lasts five hours on me.</div>

Continuing on with the Kiss My Sass review catchup, I have a selection of their powder cheek products to show you. I've been really enjoying their formula and have most of the current lineup to work through, so let's get started with these ones!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Product Size: </b>Kiss My Sass' powder cheek products are available in two formats. The full-size sifter jar (at least 4 grams by weight in a 20-gram sifter jar) is $12USD, while the sample bag (approx. 1/4 tsp in a clear baggie) is $2USD. I opt for the sample baggies due to the cost of international shipping and the unlikeliness of my finishing a product, so that's what you'll see here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Formula Overview:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Kiss My Sass' powder cheek products all share the same silky, blendable formula, which is a pleasure to apply. While all of them are well pigmented, the blendability of the formula allows for them to be sheered out with ease. They last between nine and eleven hours on my combination normal-oily skin.</div>

<b>Swatch Notes:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All products are swatched heavily on the left and sheered out on the right and photographed under daylight bulbs.</div>

<b>Ethereal </b>is described as 'a sheer mauve with a slight blue-violet glow'. Ethereal is the right name for this shade as it perfectly captures the cool violet sheen. I feel like a fairy queen with this highlighting my cheeks. It lasted well, too: eleven hours before beginning to fade.</div>

<b>Suntan </b>is described as a 'light to medium bronzer with a healthy glow'. There are currently two bronzers in the Kiss My Sass range and Suntan is the more subtle of the two (the other, Bronze Goddess, is a medium bronze with shimmer) which suits me well. Suntan delivers on its promise of a healthy glow, blending in for a very natural glow - always a blessing on my skin, which can look over-bronzed very quickly! This shade also lasted eleven hours.</div>

<b>I'm Green </b>is described as a 'sheer white with a green sheen and a hint of orange'. This is an easy way to wear a highlight with an unusual colour shift, as it can be applied as a sheer, subtle wash or built up for a flash of green. It makes an amazing eyeshadow highlight, too. It lasts ten hours on me.</div>

<b>Moonlit Embrace </b>is a white-based highlighter that 'gives a pink/orange/gold glow depending on the lighting'. This is the most muted of the three highlighters I have to show you today, which is not to say that it's any less pretty. Moonlit Embrace builds up readily if you want a stronger glow, blends easily and lasts ten hours on me.</div>

<b>Peachykeen </b>is described as 'a pretty peach with golden shimmer'. This has been in heavy rotation since it arrived, it's just so wearable and flattering! Peachykeen applies and blends easily and lasts nine hours on me.</div>

<br />
It may be Monday - again - but we can soften the blow with a look back at the lipsticks from 2015's MAC Toledo collection. I've reviewed a few pieces from this collection over the years - <a href="http://www.lani-loves.com/2015/03/mac-toledo-oxblood-lipglass-and-sin.html" target="_blank">Oxblood Lipglass and Sin Lipstick</a> at the time of their release, and <a href="http://www.lani-loves.com/2017/03/mac-monday-toledo-ripe-peach-blush.html" target="_blank">Ripe Peach Blush Ombre</a> for a previous MAC Monday post. It's a fun one to revisit but the lipsticks, unsurprisingly, are my favourite part!<br />

I really enjoy the attention to detail many of MAC's limited edition packaging collections possess. In the Toledo collection, the graphic patterns often present in Toledo designs make an appearance inside the boxes, while the lipstick tubes feature a stylized face with rosebud red lips. The tubes are rubberized, which was a misstep, I feel, especially after having had these in my collection a few years and watching them get steadily dirtier. It's not as though they've been left rolling around the bottom of my handbag, either - they're in my lipstick drawer most of the time, but even so, the packaging has picked up numerous miscellaneous stains and it's impossible to clean. Super annoying.</div>

<b>Formula Overview: </b><br />
This is a collection for matte lipstick fans. All six shades are in MAC's Matte finish, which is richly pigmented with a velvet-smooth texture. I don't typically find this formula drying although I know some people do, and I tend to get very good wear times out of it, too.<br />

<b>Oxblood </b>is described as a 'light peachy nude' and has a Matte finish. I remember this being a near instant sell-out when this collection released and I ended up buying a little over retail because I have collection completion issues and an unbridled lust for peachy nudes. Sorry, not sorry. Kinda Sexy from the permanent range and fellow limited edition release Enchanted One come close to Oxblood, but both lack the hint of pink that makes Oxblood so appealing to me. It lasts five hours on me and isn't drying.<br />

<b>Barbecue </b>is described as a 'vivid orange-red'. Although MAC churn out great orange-reds like nobody's business, Barbecue was slightly sheerer than the swatch belies and left me feeling slightly underwhelmed. It's still a perfectly nice lipstick, lasting seven hours on me without drying out my lips. But with better performing shades like So Chaud in the permanent range, I wouldn't fret about tracking Barbecue down.<br />

<b>Tenor Voice </b>is described as a 'true classic red'. It is indeed a classic red, the kind of strawberry-bright hue that makes my heart happy. It lasted eight hours on me without feathering or being drying.<br />

<b>Victoriana </b>is described as a 'mid-tone pink red'. The pinkness is really only visible when shown alongside Tenor Voice in the arm swatch further up, I think. It doesn't pull as pinky-red as a shade like Love Goddess does. All of that is not to say that I don't love it, because I really do. The formula is consistent with MAC's better mattes and Victoriana lasts seven and a half hours on me without feathering or drying out my lips. Love. </div>

<b>Opera </b>is described as 'dark red' and has a Matte finish. Okay, I might be red-lipstick obsessed but even I can admit that Tenor Voice, Victoriana and Opera are hairs apart. Opera isn't so much a dark red as 'a smidgen darker than its predecessors'. I don't regret having this in my collection at all, because I'm sick that way, but MAC and the Toledos probably could have culled it down to one bright red. HOWEVER - Opera is undeniably beautiful, and like its sister reds, applied and wore superbly. It lasted nine hours on me, wasn't drying and didn't feather or migrate.<br />

I often find that I'm slow to review products that I really, really love because I'm constantly pulling them out of the review box to use again and that's definitely the case with Darling Girl's Spectral Shift Illuminating Cremes. I have two of the seven available shades and they are so divinely moreish - I find I'm having to force myself to pick out other things to use! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Packaging:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These come in a 5ml airless pump ($11.75USD) which dispenses just the right amount of product - a dab, really. A little goes a long way with this formula.</div>

<b>Formula Overview:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Spectral Shift Illuminating Cremes, as you might have gathered from the name, take the sheer, shimmering aspect of the original powder Spectral Shifts and give them a glowier, dewier makeover in a creme formula. They can be more subtle than the original Spectral Shifts when worn sheerly or built up for a level of glow that would make Beyonce weep. I like to apply them with my fingers, although a stippling brush or damp beauty blender works just as well, and I haven't yet had any issues with them disturbing foundation or concealer when applied over top, nor any clashes with powder blush and bronzer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<b>Swatch notes:</b><br>I've swatched the Illuminating Cremes heavily on the left and sheered out on the right. This is so that you can see how they perform both ways. I take all of my photos with daylight bulbs for colour accuracy.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Kiss My Sass recently made the move to make all of their products limited edition (with the exception of their eye primer) so I thought I'd better get my butt into gear and share more of my eyeshadow swatches! I'm really excited for the new shades and products that will be coming through as things sell out, but I must admit that it's given me FOMO over a lot of the existing range. Time to tick some things off my wishlist!</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<b>Product size:</b><br />
Kiss My Sass' eyeshadows are available in two sizes: full-size sifter jar (at least 1.2 grams by weight in a “5-gram” sifter jar, $6USD) or sample bag (approx. 1/4 tsp in a 2″ x 2″ zip bag, $2USD). You'll predominantly see me featuring the sample bags as I don't use most colours often enough to warrant a full size, but I do prefer the full-size packaging. I'd love it if KMS introduced an inbetween size one day as sample bags do the job but aren't my favourite.<br />
<br />
<b>Formula overview:</b><br />
I find that these shadows all hold up beautifully on their own, they have a velvety texture that lends itself well to blending and I often don't need an adhesive base to get the best performance from them. With an extensive neutral range (don't worry, there are plenty of colourful options too!) and user-friendly formula, I'd especially recommend these to anyone new to indie cosmetics.<br />
<br />
<b>Swatch notes:</b><br />
All eyeshadow swatches are applied to bare skin (on the left) and over Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy (on the right) using a patting motion and photographed under daylight bulbs.<br />

<b>Fascination </b>is described as 'a bronze/brown with purple and blue shimmer'. This holds up beautifully on its own but the blue shimmer really shines over a sticky base. In the look a little further down, I used it over a base on the lid and without one on the lower lashline and it's not a stark contrast but the difference is there. </div>

<b>Aurora </b>is described as 'a lilac with an intense turquoise shimmer that shifts to blue & violet in different lighting'. Aurora was on my wishlist for years before I finally nabbed it and oh honey, was it worth the wait! The pigmentation, the blue shimmer - I can't fault it. It buffs out for a pretty inner corner highlight, too.</div>

<b>Late Night Lattes </b>is described as 'a matte tan with a color shifting overlay of shimmer (orange to blue to purple and purple sparkles'. Oooh, I like this! The tan is a bit more yellow than I usually go for but I'm liking it and contrasting sparkle is always a winner with me. Best applied over a sticky base for maximum sparkle. </div>

<b>Squirrel </b>is described as 'a medium brown with an orange to copper to gold shift'. I know I'm sounding like a broken record here, but I really do love all of the eyeshadows I've picked today! Squirrel is richly pigmented, appearing almost identical alone and over a sticky base - just slightly less metallic without one. The copper shimmer gives it a very autumnal look, I'm sure I'll be reaching for it again soon.</div>

<b>Ghostly Apparition </b>is described as 'a cream with aqua sparkles and a color shifting sheen (hints of green, gold, copper, peach, rose)'. This is a soft, delicate shade with a buttery-smooth formula that builds up or sheers out readily. The multiple shades of sparkle keep it very versatile, too.</div>

For this look, I've used Late Night Lattes all over the lid, Cocoa on the crease, Georgia Peach for the transition, Squirrel on the lower lashline and Ghostly Apparition on the inner corner. The lashes are <a href="https://amzn.to/2I2gZAz" target="_blank">Ardell Demi Wispies</a>.<br />

Hey guys! I've got another set of Maybelline lipsticks to share with you, this time it's the Loaded Bolds collection. I thought there was a navy blue lipstick in this range too but I think that might have been limited edition or only overseas, as the shades I have here form the complete lineup according to Maybelline NZ's website.<br />

<b>Formula Overview:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Loaded Bolds feel very similar to Maybelline's Creamy Matte and Inti-Matte Nudes formulas, they're very lightweight, fairly emollient and feel cushiony on the lips. This isn't your classic stiff, drying matte formula. They have a sweet, faintly candy-like fragrance which isn't overpowering to my nose, but it might be worth giving one a sniff before purchasing if you dislike fragranced cosmetics.</div>

<b><a href="https://amzn.to/2JUrdzw" target="_blank">Gone Greige</a> </b>is a dirty cool greige (grey + beige). It's well-pigmented, applies smoothly and lasts six hours on me. I do wish I found this shade easier to wear as it's different and quite fun but as it is, I need to pair it with a lot of warm tones to make it work on my warm-neutral complexion.<br />

<b><a href="https://amzn.to/2HOLoSM" target="_blank">Chocoholic</a> </b>is a medium reddened brown with mostly opaque colour coverage. I found it was prone to disappearing or shifting around at the center of my lips, which dampened my enthusiasm for an otherwise lovely colour. Chocoholic lasted six hours on me.<br />

<b>Midnight Merlot </b>is a deep berry red. It shared Chocoholic's migration issues and delivered a somewhat patchy application; mostly opaque but prone to clinging to any flakes and sheering out in other areas. It's an awesome colour so I was pretty bummed by this one! Midnight Merlot lasted six hours.<br />

<b><a href="https://amzn.to/2wfNl5m" target="_blank">Dynamite Red</a> </b>is a bright, retro red with subtle warm leanings. This, THIS is the formula I wanted from Chocholic and Midnight Merlot - we know you have it in you, Maybelline! Dynamite Red is creamy, pigmented and lasts seven hours on me without being drying. It also garnered several comments when I wore it which definitely put it in my good books!<br />

<b><a href="https://amzn.to/2KB2vWd" target="_blank">Orange Danger</a> </b>is a bright red-orange. It doesn't really show in my application, but I found it slightly sheerer than Dynamite Red, though still a heck of a lot better than Chocoholic and Midnight Merlot. It applied smoothly and was comfortable to wear, lasting six hours without being drying. My 'meh' face in the full face swatch is down to the dry hair, not the lipstick formula. Yowsers.<br />

<b><a href="https://amzn.to/2JU1qau" target="_blank">Fiery Fuchsia</a> </b>is a saturated medium fuchsia-pink and it's right up there with Dynamite Red in terms of formula. Super smooth, pigmented and long-lasting, with a wear time of seven hours. It reminds me quite a lot of MAC Good Kisser.<br />

<b><a href="https://amzn.to/2I9y4Ij" target="_blank">Berry Bossy</a> </b>is a purple-tinged berry shade. It applied evenly and smoothly but was only semi-opaque, leaving me wanting more, and not in a lascivious romance novel way. It clocked in at just under six hours but was clingy for the duration and became quite drying towards the end of wear.<br />

<b><a href="https://amzn.to/2HXbVJy" target="_blank">Blackest Berry</a> </b>is a dark purple. I think you can glean from the swatch that the prognosis is not good. Blackest Berry is sheer and patchy and stains pink (although not as strongly or immediately as some similar purples I've tried). It lasted just under six hours, was clingy and quite drying towards the end of wear. Just no.<br />

What I liked:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Dynamite Red, Gone Greige and Fiery Fuchsia had excellent colour payoff (Orange Danger was slightly sheerer but still pretty good).</li>
<li>Wear time was between five and seven hours.</li>
<li>Most shades were comfortable and non-drying.</li>
<li>Most shades applied smoothly.</li>
</ul>
What I didn't like:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Blackest Berry and Berry Bossy were clingy throughout and drying towards the end of wear.</li>
<li>Blackest Berry, Chocoholic and Midnight Merlot were uneven, patchy or emphasised flakes.</li>
<li>Blackest Berry and Berry Bossy are sheerer than advertised.</li>
</ul>
Where to buy:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Selected pharmacies, supermarkets and department stores</li>
<li><a href="https://amzn.to/2HXkc4p" target="_blank">Amazon</a></li>
<li><a href="https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&toolid=11800&pub=5575101983&campid=5337584413&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_odkw%3Dmaybelline%2Bloaded%2Bbold%2Blipstick%26_osacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xmaybelline%2Bloaded%2Bbolds%2Blipstick.TRS0%26_nkw%3Dmaybelline%2Bloaded%2Bbolds%2Blipstick%26_sacat%3D0" target="_blank">Ebay</a></li>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Do any of these tickle your fancy? I wanted to love them all but couldn't help feeling let down, Fiery Fuchsia and Dynamite Red were the only ones I really loved and would wear again.</div>

<br></div>
This next batch of Notoriously Morbid eyeshadows represents some major deviations from my comfort zone, with mixed success - but I'm proud of myself for trying them! What colours are way out of your comfort zone?<br>
<br>
<b>Packaging:</b><br>
Notoriously Morbid have plenty of eyeshadow sizing options to suit everyone's preferences and budget. The mini-size ($2.75USD) has approx. 1/3 tsp of product in a 3g jar, the full size ($5.50USD) has approx. 1/2 to 3/4 tsp of product in a 5g jar and the deluxe size ($7.50USD) has approx. 1 to 1 1/4 tsp of product in a 10g jar. Personally, I always opt for the mini size, except where full size is the only option, as it's rare for me to finish an eyeshadow! Some of these shades are now available as pressed eyeshadows (Evil Eye, Zinthos), which are $7USD in a loose 27mm pan or $10USD in a black 27mm compact.<br>
<br>
<b>Formula overview:</b><br>
I really enjoy Notoriously Morbid's eyeshadow formula. They're easy to work with, blend well, and are often completely unique to what's being put out by mainstream brands. Some shades, especially the more glittery ones perform best over a sticky base but can certainly be used on their own.<br>
<br>
<b>Swatch notes:</b><br>
All eyeshadow swatches in this post are done two ways: applied on bare skin on the left-hand side and over Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy, a sticky eyeshadow base which maximises colour intensity and sparkle, on the right. This is so you can see how they perform both ways. I take all of my photos with daylight bulbs for colour accuracy.<br>

<br>
I had the pleasure of being sent a set of Maybelline's new-ish Inti-Matte Nude lipsticks to try out a while back and I've finally got them all swatched and tested to share with you! If you love a good nude lippy, these are really lovely, being pigmented and comfortable for the most part. I can honestly say that I enjoyed every shade, which is a pretty rare occurrence! The only thing I take issue with is the lack of cool tones and darker shades; the Inti-Matte Nudes are all warm-toned and best suited to light to medium complexions. In such a diverse world, it would be great to see more makeup brands reflecting that in their offerings.<br>

Darling Girl do some amazing neutrals and longtime readers will know that they are among my favourites, especially when it comes to complex neutrals (duochrome, sparkle, oh my!). This post is comprised of a few sparkly neutrals from the permanent range, one discontinued shade and a bright pop of green. Take a look!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<b>Product size:</b><br>
Darling Girl's eyeshadows come in a few different sizing options: full sizes are packaged in 5g jars with approximately 3/4 tsp of product ($7.50USD). Petits are packaged in 3g jars with approximately 1/4 tsp of product ($3.50USD).<br>
<br>
<b>Formula overview:</b><br>
Darling Girl's eyeshadow formula is incredibly consistent. I've never come across a dud in the range; they are, on the whole, very pigmented and easy to work with. Some shades, especially the more glittery ones perform best over a sticky base but can certainly be used on their own.<br>
<br>
<b>Swatch notes:</b><br>
All eyeshadow swatches in this post are done two ways: applied on bare skin on the left-hand side and over Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy, a sticky eyeshadow base which maximises colour intensity and sparkle, on the right. This is so you can see how they perform both ways. I take all of my photos with daylight bulbs for colour accuracy.<br>

This will likely be the last in the current influx of Vanishing Cabinet catch up posts as the January 2017 one has me stumped - so many blues! I'll get there, though. The challenge is good for me, which is why I love subscribing to the Vanishing Cabinet. I had to cancel my subscription briefly and just buy trials or overstock when available, so my December 2016 VC is incomplete. There was also a Slumber Salve called 'Yum Yum' and in the original VC, the Body Splash was a trial vial. </div>

I'm sorry to say that I haven't seen Gremlins (another for the 'to watch' list!). I remember studying the video cover avidly when we'd go to the video store as children, but my mum always said it was too scary so I never got around to it! Mike has just assured me it is definitely too scary for our kids, so maybe it's still too scary for me, lol (I'm the biggest wimp around). </div>

Where did April go, you guys? I feel like I've blinked and missed most of this month. As May (and my birthday!) rapidly approaches, I'm pleased to share another beautiful Femme Fatale Cosmetics collection with you. The Fire Lily collection is inspired by the Pellinor books, written by Australian author Alison Croggon. The fantasy series is not one I'm familiar with, but it's close to Femme Fatale creator Sophie's heart and she has pretty darn good taste, so I was intrigued to see how she'd interpret her theme when I read the collection info. One thing I really like about Femme Fatale is the diversity of their themes and inspirations - I love a pop culture-inspired collection as much as anyone else, but nods to treasured books and MMORPGs set FF apart from others. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The presale for this collection will be May 1st – 5th 2018 at 9am AEST.</div>

<b>Swatch Notes:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I do not use base coat for my swatches but I did use a top coat as many of the glitterbombs in particular dry with a fair bit of texture. Everything was photographed using a three-point lighting set up under daylight bulbs, except the final shots for all but Triple-Tongued, which were done with a two-point set up.</div>

This next Vanishing Cabinet is based on one of my favourite shows from my childhood, Charmed! I rewatched all eight seasons (yep, I made it through season eight, teeth gritted, but I made it) right before Ally was born and remember cackling to myself and making all sorts of Charmed references under the influence of the gas during labour. That gas is amazing. And so is the show! One minute it's cheesy and dated and the very next minute you find yourself tearing up at an emotional scene or laughing out loud at the girls' antics. Phoebe was always my favourite as a child but Paige really grew on me during the rewatch. Which witch is your favourite?</div>

Here's another bunch of discontinued ColourPop Lippie Stix to pop on your wishlist - you just never know when they'll stealthily rerelease something! This set is the Vixen Lippie Stix collection from Holiday 2015 (wowza). A good friend let me ship it to her in the States at the time of release (this was back in the days of CP's $20USD+ international shipping) but then with one thing and another we didn't get around to forwarding it onto me for ages and ages. So here it is, after all this time, swatched and reviewed for your pleasure. </div>

The inspiration for this VC was Nightmare on Elm Street, as you may have gathered from the packaging, and I'm not going to include gifs for this review as I'm a massive wimp!! Despite my wimpiness, this VC was an exciting one as the other Morbid Mavens and I (Notoriously Morbid models & promoters) got to collaborate with Carrie on its creation. We were assigned teams and given free reign to create a custom product of our choosing. My team (myself, Jolie from <a href="http://etherealizeme.blogspot.co.nz/" target="_blank">Etherealize Me</a> and Kat from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dreadfullydivine/" target="_blank">Dreadfully Divine</a>) came up with Freddy's Coming For You, a metallic grey-green with red sparkles to match Freddy's glove. </div>

I'm late to the party in more ways than one today, being fresh off my first ever viewing of Death Becomes Her as I sit down to write up this Vanishing Cabinet inspired by it. It was released in September 2016 - yikes! What a fabulous movie though! It was fun seeing Bruce Willis in a role so different from his usual action fare and Meryl Streep stole the show as usual (no shade to Goldie Hawn, who I also enjoyed). I adored Meryl's makeup throughout the film, particularly in the opening number and when she'd had the 'spray paint' treatment, along with that Veronica Lake-style 'do. Divine.</div>

You can sign up for the wait list <a href="http://notoriouslymorbid.com/vanishing-cabinet-wait-list/">here</a> or purchase a one month trial (while available) <a href="http://notoriouslymorbid.com/the-midnight-society-vol-1-jan-18-vc/">here</a>. Overstock is occasionally posted <a href="http://notoriouslymorbid.com/vanishing-cabinet-overstock/">here</a>.<br>
<br>
All eyeshadow swatches are applied to bare skin (on the left) and over Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy (on the right) using a patting motion and photographed under daylight bulbs.<br>

I have a bit of a swatch dump of discontinued ColourPop Lippie Stix to share today! As any ColourPop fan knows, they are quite trigger-happy with their discontinuations but they bring back old shades with an almost equal frequency. In fact, while I was double-checking the status of all these shades on the website, I saw that the long-discontinued Brills (<a href="http://www.lani-loves.com/2015/04/colourpop-lippie-stix-button-cake.html" target="_blank">reviewed here</a>) had made a return! So take a peek at these and if any tickle your fancy, cross your fingers - you just never know.</div>

<div>
I have another quintet of Notoriously Morbid eyeshadows to share with you today! I've been slogging my way through reorganising a tonne of stuff around here and with a tidier working area, the writer's block is slowly loosening its grip. What do you do to shift writer's block?</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<b>Packaging:</b></div>
<div>
<div>
Notoriously Morbid have plenty of eyeshadow sizing options to suit everyone's preferences and budget. The mini-size ($2.75USD) has approx. 1/3 tsp of product in a 3g jar, the full size ($5.50USD) has approx. 1/2 to 3/4 tsp of product in a 5g jar and the deluxe size ($7.50USD) has approx. 1 to 1 1/4 tsp of product in a 10g jar. Personally, I always opt for the mini size, except where full size is the only option, as it's rare for me to finish an eyeshadow!</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<b>Formula overview:</b></div>
<div>
I really enjoy Notoriously Morbid's eyeshadow formula. They're easy to work with, blend well, and are often completely unique to what's being put out by mainstream brands. Some shades, especially the more glittery ones perform best over a sticky base but can certainly be used on their own.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<b>Swatch notes:</b></div>
<div>
All eyeshadow swatches in this post are done two ways: applied on bare skin on the left-hand side and over Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy, a sticky eyeshadow base which maximises colour intensity and sparkle, on the right. This is so you can see how they perform both ways. I take all of my photos with daylight bulbs for colour accuracy.</div>

The only thing that could make a holographic nail polish more heavenly is being inspired by the heavens themselves and that's just what Pretty Serious turned to for their holo collection. Consider Outer Space is a seven-piece collection that has been recently discontinued, so you can pick these beauties up at clearance prices, as long as you're quick! A big thanks to Kaz and the team for sending me these to swatch for you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
A wee bit about Pretty Serious: they're a cruelty-free Australian company offering vegan-friendly nail lacquers. Helmed by the fabulous Kaz of the Pretty Random blog (one of the first nail polish blogs I followed!), they have a wide colour range with a particular focus on the unique and vintage-inspired.<br>
<br>
<b>Formula overview:</b><br>
Generally, I find Pretty Serious's formula to be slightly thicker than your average nail lacquer, not in a bad way as it is still easy to control - the word 'plush' comes to mind. A couple of these were a little thicker again and needed a lighter hand to avoid clumping. All of them are thirsty and need a generous layer or two of top coat to seal in the sparkle but they're also all very opaque - none needed more than two coats.<br>

I'm horrendously late with this post but luck appears to be on my side as the entirety of the 2018 Easter range is still on the Lush website! Woohoo!</div>
<br>
Our family has been having a grand old time getting sudsy with this range, which is as cheerful and fragrant as ever. There are several products making their return from previous years and some new goodies too.<br>

This is a collection I've taken my sweet time posting about (it was released in 2012!) as it took me a number of years to complete my lipstick set. A collection with no less than four red lipsticks may seem excessive to some, but I know others will agree that you can never have too many red lipsticks! I'm also a big fan of Marilyn Monroe, so this collection is right up my alley. It sold out on counter really quickly at the time of launch and is still somewhat hard to find, but worth making the effort if you're a fan.</div>

The packaging for this collection has a lot of attention to detail: glossy black with Marilyn as photographed by Milton Greene and red kiss prints inside the boxes. The prints have held up perfectly over the years, too, there has been no scratching or fading.<br />

<br />
<b>Formula Overview:</b><br />
There are three lipstick finishes in this collection: a Cremesheen (Pure Zen), a Satin (Love Goddess) and the three Mattes (Scarlet Ibis, Charmed I'm Sure and Deeply Adored). Mattes are generally richly pigmented and have a smooth, velvety texture which I don't typically find drying although not everyone feels the same. Cremesheens are semi-opaque, glossy and sometimes hydrating while Satins have a semi-matte finish with all the opacity of a Matte. MAC lipsticks have a vanilla scent.<br />

<b><a href="https://amzn.to/2Gl8mfC" target="_blank">Pure Zen</a> </b>is described as a 'frosted warm nude' and has a Cremesheen finish. If you just turned up your nose at the mention of frost, first of all - you're not alone, that's my natural reaction too, BUT you can relax. There's no frostiness in sight, only very fine and subtle shimmer. This is such a pretty shade, I really like it! It wore for three and a half hours on me and was not drying. This is a repromote from the permanent collection.</div>

<b><a href="https://amzn.to/2GTcpAY" target="_blank">Scarlet Ibis</a></b> is described as a 'bright orange red' and has a Matte finish. This is a repromote from the Iris Apfel collection. The colour payoff is rich and velvety; MAC's Matte formula at its best. It lasted five hours on me and was comfortable and non-drying during the course of wear.<br />

<b><a href="https://amzn.to/2Gys1fx" target="_blank">Love Goddess</a></b> is described as a 'mid-tone pink red' and has a Satin finish. My sister bought me this one so it will always have a special place in my heart! It's slightly more translucent than the Mattes but still wonderfully vivid and lasts five hours on me without drying or feathering. It does stain pink, though.<br />

<b><a href="https://amzn.to/2GdJLxc" target="_blank">Charmed I’m Sure</a></b> is described as a 'dark true red' and has a Matte finish. This is absolutely my favourite from the collection!

<b>Deeply Adored</b> is described as a 'deep scarlet' and has a Matte finish. It's a bit more uneven than the other Mattes in the collection although I didn't notice it from a normal viewing distance. It lasted six and a half hours on me with very slight feathering.<br />

<br>
Femme Fatale's newest collection, based on Anne of Green Gables has just launched today and as luck would have it, the team generously sent me the full collection to swatch for you (thanks guys!). The enthusiastic responses to news of this collection on social media were really lovely, so many of you fondly remembered the Anne books. I know I read one or two of them as a child but my memory of their contents seems to have vanished completely! As copyright has long since lapsed for these books though, I've downloaded free ebooks of the series and am looking forward to diving in. Have you read them?<br>
<br>
The presale for this collection will be April 1st – 5th 2018 at 9am AEST.<br>
<br>
<b>Swatch Notes:</b><br>
I do not use base coat for my swatches but I did use a top coat as many of the glitterbombs in particular dry with a fair bit of texture. Everything was photographed using a three-point lighting set up under daylight bulbs.<br>

<br />
Hey guys! You may have noticed things looking a little different around here. I spent last weekend totally overhauling the website, making it mobile-friendly, adding a new logo annnnd - the part that I'm most proud of! You can now browse the entire blog archive by several categories:<br />
<br />
<b>Brand</b><br />
This is intended to make it easier to check out everything from a favourite brand with ease. I can't tell you how many times I've discovered a new-to-me brand and then spent hours scrolling through blogs browsing every swatch and making unachievable wishlists of all the pretty things. Now it's even easier to do that here!<br />
<br />
<b>Product type</b><br />
Just here for the lipstick swatches? No problem. Select the lipstick category and that's all you'll see. Or if you're really sick of all these damn lip swatches and just want to get to the nail polish, that's no problem either! I've listed every type of product I've reviewed to date - there's a lot! Although the process of making this change has highlighted where I need to broaden my content, so I'll work on that.<br />
<br />
<b>Post category</b><br />Pretty self-explanatory, but here you'll be able to narrow posts down by reviews, gift ideas, life updates, family stuff and more. This also contains ongoing series like Femme Fatale Friday, the Notoriously Morbid Vanishing Cabinet and so forth.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Cruelty-free status</b><br />While I'm not vegan myself, many of my friends are and I know how difficult it can be sorting through a sea of beauty products to find things that are vegan or cruelty-free. To make for easier browsing, I've tagged everything that falls under these categories. How did these products qualify? I've double checked CF & vegan statuses on several reputable cruelty-free websites and I've ruled out any brands which may declare themselves cruelty-free but still export to China (as China requires brands to allow animal testing on their products in order to sell there) or brands that are owned by a non-cruelty free parent company.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Today I have the full set of mermaid-themed Spectral Shifts from Darling Girl's O-Fish-Ally Cute collection to show you! What are Spectral Shifts, you might ask? Well, anything you want, really. They're semi-sheer powders suitable for eyes, face or lips and are generally very glowy, sometimes with a bit of sparkle or colour-shift going on. I most often use my Spectral Shifts as a cheek or inner corner highlight so that's what you'll see demonstrated in this review.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The formulas are very consistent: highly blendable and pigmented enough to hold their own. Over a sticky base or glitter glue, they are transformed into show-stealing colour-shifting, sparkle-laden beauties. I love their versatility. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
As Susan from Darling Girl was generous enough to send these to me for review, the clamshells shown are promotional sample packaging. Usually, Spectral Shifts usually come in the following formats:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Full-size jar - 2.4g/.08OZ for $9USD</li>
<li>Petite jar - 1/4 teaspoon for $3.50USD</li>
</ul>

<br>
Suckered in by an irresistible sale and the get out of jail free card of an impending birthday, I treated myself to the <a href="http://amzn.to/2FO3Hqo" target="_blank">Lime Crime M$LF Velvetines Collection</a> last year. Being chronically averse to smoking, I loathed the packaging on sight (why they decided that would be a cool thing to glamourize, I'll never understand) but the set was reduced to something like $25 and for four full-size Velvetines in rad colours, I decided to make an exception.<br>
Honestly, it was Low Cut that tipped me over the edge. It's one of the most perfect burnt orange shades I've ever seen and I'd buy the set again just for that shade in a heartbeat. Love or hate Lime Crime, they do a bloody good lipstick formula and these four are true to form.<br>
