I'm back with more hauls!

Hey guys, it's been awhile since I last posted a blog. Too many things happened. I took my kids back to my hometown for holiday and just came back last month, then when we came back, we were all sick probably from the flight and also with the viruses going around this time of the year. Now is Autumn and soon will be Summer so hopefully during the next few months, we'll be healthier and won't be sick as we were just recently.

This shall be my 1st haul after some time. I actually bought this back in July but just didn't have the time to post it. Since I have successfully uploaded all the photos into the computer, here I am starting with.....

DETRIVORES COSMETICS: 9 new eyeshadows which were launched back in June 2010
I purchased them during the promo period when they were USD $20 for the lot and the shipping cost to Australia - USD $5 int. shipping.

EYESHADOWS:-
  1. Lobotomy (Highlight) - Light blend of white and gold. Very shimmery
  2. Harpy (Satin) - Metallic pinkish purple color
  3. Critter (Satin) - Dark gold
  4. Leviathan (Satin) - Light teal
  5. Kraken (Satin) - Deep blue green satin. Similar to brine, but more on the blue side
  6. Diatom (Satin) - Golden brown
  7. Tommyknocker (Matte) - Med green matte
  8. Midnight (Matte) - Detrivores darkest blue
  9. Damage (Original) - Reddish pink with golden shimmer

BLUSHES:- Bought 4 sample sizes- USD$1 each (With generous amount, sample size generally filled up a 3-5gm jar)

  1. Vulgar - Bright frost pink. Matte. Not safe to use on lips as it is made with an ultramarines.
  2. Poison - Bright pink color. Color is similar to matte shadow Starlet but a bit darker. Matte. Color is made of carmine and not vegan friendly.
  3. Spoiled - Purplish pink color. Matte and great as an eyeshadow.
  4. Thing - Shimmery pale peachy color.

Also, I got 2 free gifts: Eyeshadow primer + eyeshadow (Decimation- Metallic Bronze). The eyeshadow came in a ziplock bag and I transferred it to a jar.

Pics and swatches (on bare hand) as shown below:-

I have always loved Detrivore eyeshadows, highly pigmented for a fraction of price compare to some other mineral cosmetics companies. Generous amount given, even for a sample size.
The normal price for a 5 gm jar (Original collection) - USD $3 each
Matte collection - USD $5 each
Satin collection - USD $5 each
Highlight collection: USD $3 each
SAMPLE sizes: $1 each
If you want the loose eyeshadows to stay longer on lid, advisable to apply an eyeshadow primer. Because the amount given is full to brim of the jar, got to be be careful when opening it as it sometimes does spill out but hey, what does it matter... doesn't bother me as I'm getting alot of product for such a great price!
Oh yes, I just went to their website and found out that they just launced another 19 new eyeshadows. Hoo-ray.... I'm going to order them tonight! You guys should check them out too. Here's the website:- http://www.detrivorecosmetics.com/
