Pampered Xombie
Who : Pampered Xombie
Where : http://www.pamperedxombie.com/
Swatches : All over NYX White
Thoughts : These colors are SO SO pigmented! They look amazing dry, wet, and even without a base or primer!
- I will be ordering again, and I recommended this company when someone was looking for a metallic red (because Wild Cranberry is perfect!)
- Shipping was fast, they run sales often, and also offer straight glitter.
- No sifters on the 5g jars, which doesn't bother me.
- I wish the site had swatches, it can be hard to tell what color you're buying.

Bokeh Face
Who : Bokeh Face
Where : No longer in business
Swatches : None, because I cannot get them to look as pretty as they do in person. Will try foiling them at a later date to see if that makes them pretty.
Thoughts : Free pigment during the month of your birthday if you sign up for a membership (which is free!)
- I purchased The Ocean Collection, which includes Octopus, Flippy Floppies, Seaweed and Hurricane. I love them all.
- I also received the birthday pigment, which comes in a cute jar with a cupcake on top and is a golden shimmer pigment.
- They offer refills for a dollar cheaper than buying a whole new jar, which I think is a fantastic idea.
- Shipping was timely and packaging was cute.

Fyrinnae
Who : Fyrinnae
Where : http://www.fyrinnae.com/
Swatches : All over NYX White on top, and over Pixie Epoxy on bottom
Thoughts : The Pixie Epoxy works well, and made Te Amo gorgeous.
- Meerkat is probably one of the prettiest colors I own.
- Shipping is longer than most indie companies, but the product is worth it.
- Te Amo was a sample, and came labeled in a 3g jar.
- Complexity of the colors is amazing.
- The shop has been closing often, which makes ordering difficult.

Where : http://www.darkheartdesigns.com/
Swatches : All over NYX White
Thoughts : Dirty and Fool's Gold are GREAT colors. I don't have any like them, and I appreciate neutrals that aren't boring.
- I bought Dirty and Catalyst along with a sampler pack, and picked up the other 4 colors using a Heartsy Voucher.
- Shipping was great, packaging good.
- A little pricey at $5.99, but I originally bought a BOGO free, which is my favorite sale ever.

Hi-Fi- Cosmetics
Who : Hi-Fi Cosmetics
Where : http://hificosmetics.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/hificosmetics
Swatches : Need to be redone. I swatched them crazy like the first time, and it's impossible to label.
Thoughts : High Impact Shadow Fix is my favorite product, hands down. It takes very little, and even after a 12 hour day of travelling and presenting, my makeup held up and I had no creasing. I prefer this product over Pixie Epoxy.
- The shop is currently closed due to a Heartsy deal gone crazy. I purchased through Heartsy, so it was all worth the price, but I will purchase again once the shop reopens.

Blogging to Swatch
The only reason this blog is here is to swatch the colors I keep buying. It's an easy way to remember which colors I loved, and which colors go well together.
And I want to be able to enter contests through gfc ;)
