Vicious Cosmetics

I requested some samples from Vicious Cosmetics a week ago and they arrived today!! They arrived pretty quick, seeing as they had to travel from the USA to the UK.

I was given the choice of one full sized pot and 3 samples, or 6 samples. I asked for the deal with the full sized pot, which I chose myself, and 3 samples, which were chosen for me (I like suprises!).


First off, I love that the samples come in clamshells instead of those stupid baggies which are oh so awkward to get into! Also, the full sized pot comes shrink wrapped which means no nasty spillages while being shipped!



Here we have 8-Bit. This is a really nice black stuffed full of multi-coloured glitter. It applies lovely, but if you want it to be really black you'll have to build it up. But it's ok! This colour is totally able to do that.


Next up is Shark Bait. Now this one looks red in the pot but is actually a really nice vibrant, coral pink with a hit of sparkle. It applies beautifully too, with no need to build up and up to get the desired colour.


Now, here is Pew-Pew! I adore this colour, I really do. Unfortunately it was a bit tricksy to capture it's awesomeness on camera. It's an amazing, bold yellow-green with a nice fine yellow shimmer. Again, lovely application with easy vibrant results.


Last but not least we have Lapis. Lapis a beautiful blue which is truly blue and shimmery. I really love this one too actually and, like her sisters, Lapis applies with ease.


Here are my swatches too. Left to right, Shark Bait, Pew Pew!, Lapis and 8-Bit.

I had to come up with a look to show off my new found lovelies so here it is! We have Shark Bait on the inner half of the lid, Lapis on the outer and a touch of 8-Bit in the crease for extra sparkle (I also have Urban Decay's VZI i the duct).



So check out Vicious Cosmetics! Find them on Etsy or Facebook.
