I came to work today and my boss says, "Oh yeah, you got mail yesterday." Yesterday. Awesome. When I saw the lime green envelope, I knew it had to be Chequered Lily Apothecary, a Canadian-based company with whom I've had the pleasure to buy from earlier this year. I'm still unbelievably behind on swatches, so I'll go ahead and swatch what I got today and work my way back.
Seafoam: "Soft Cool Sea-Green with Pale Golden Shimmer"
I purchased the 7-sample pack for $4 plus $1 shipping. Pretty awesome! I love a deal! Kimberly, the owner, included a free sample of Invocation so really I got 8 samples for $5. Not bad at all. :)
Anyway, here's what I received. All shadows are over Pixie Epoxy:
Seafoam: "Soft Cool Sea-Green with Pale Golden Shimmer"
A Dustland Fairytale: "Pale Dusty Rose with Gold and Copper Highlights"
Invocation: "Creamy Ivory with Copper Shimmer and Purple Reflect"
Vanilla Lace: "Creamy Shimmering Ivory with bronze glitter"
Swatches with flash
Fireflies: "Inky Purple/Gold Duochrome with Green/Gold Color-shift"
Hearts in Ice: "Royal blue with subtle violet undertone and intense red iridescence"
Grimoire: "Smoky Plum with Pink Undertone and Copper Shimmer"
Stormbreak: "dark grey with red and pink highlights and silver reflect"
Swatches with flash
I love them all! I am kind of collecting samples right now so I know which ones I want to get full sizes of. My favorites of this bunch are Seafoam, Invocation, Hearts in Ice *dies*, and Stormbreak. I have no other color like Hearts in Ice, and I think it's really beautiful. The red shimmer in it is much more visible in person than my camera wanted to pick up.
Have you ordered from CLA? Thoughts?
