3 Must Have Shadows from Detrivore Cosmetics!

Detrivore Cosmetics is a brand I've only recently started using.  I'd seen a few swatches here and there, but it wasn't until I stumbled on a blog post over at Prettymaking.com that I got all excited and placed my first order.  I was immediately drawn to the names.  The first shadow I saw was Ossuary, which instantly reminded me of Dellamorte Dellamore (Cemetery Man) so I knew I was probably going to fall in love.


Detrivore Cosmetics is a small indie brand out of the Pacific NW. ( I am pretty lucky to be local to 3 amazing indie brands!)  The shadow names conjure up all things creepy and morbid (Bruise, Crypt, Wraith etc)  Love it!!

This is my first Detrivore post so I wanted to start by showing you three of the best colors I've tried so far...but trust me, there are so many more.

Vile

Vile is a shimmery Aztec Gold.  Depending on how you look at it, it can have either a subtle green or subtle pink undertone.  Very hard to describe but beautiful!

Toxicity

Toxicity is a rich red toned brown with a slight blue cast and blue and pink sparkle.

Abnormal


Abnormal is a yellow gold shadow over a black base.  The resulting color is a rich olive green.  Closer to the hand swatch up top.  Really stunning in person, rich and complex.

Final Thoughts

So far I am a big fan.  In fact, they make two of my favorite shadows: Abnormal, which I get so many compliments on and Scar, which is beyond beautiful, but really tough to photograph. Trust me, just buy it.  They occasionally have a 10 for $20 sale, where you get 10 full sized shadows (5 gram jar) for $20.  This does not include Limited Edition items, but it covers most everything else. The quality is consistently good.  I have one shadow that feels a little dry and hard to use, but everything else is pigmented and very easy to apply and blend.

Detrivore currently has the 10 for $20 deal right now until Feb 3rd

Where to buy: Detrivore Cosmetics
Price: $1.00 for a sample bag  $4.00 for full sized in 5 gram jar ( I need to check what the product volume is, I am guessing 1-3 grams, I will find out for sure)
