Evil Shades haul and 2 LOTDs with them

Not really a catchy title. I'm sorry about that.

Anyway I did order something from Evil Shades few weeks ago and the package arrived few days ago. This is what I got:



What I ordered were (samples I got for free with order):
Stiletto (lipstick) - Bright fuchsia/pink with blue undertone
Doom (lipgloss) - Deep vampy wine stained purple 
Ravishing (blush) - an orange toned coral with purple luminescence
Drakon (e/s) - Medium blue green with gold, green and pink shimmer and a wine base that flashes through (from The Mythology collection)
Athame (e/s sample) - Shining silver- bespells to reveal a secret pink highlight (from Arcane Collection)
Spellcaster (e/s sample) - Virtuous pale blue- evokes a whirl of soft pink shifts and subtle green sparkle (from Arcane Collection)

Here are - BAD - lip swatches of Stiletto and Doom:


I honestly have problems with Doom. It's a lovely shade but it creases on my lips and I can't make it opaque. It might work over a red lipstick or something. I need to think about this further. But I LOVE Stiletto! It's fantastic colour and suits my skintone. I was afraid it would be too bright but at least on my lips it isn't. I think my lip colouring affects it a bit since on others I've seen it look brighter/lighter pink.

 I really like the clam thingies the samples are in compared to the bags which I've always had problems with.

You can get deeper coverage/colour with layering the eyeshadows but I only brushed them on lightly on top of Painterly Paint Pot (not the best base for these):

 Left to right: Spellcaster, Athame, Drakon and blush Ravishing

And here are two LOTDs I did with these products.

First yesterday's for which I used Athame (inner corner) and Drakon (outer corner) plus Stiletto on lips.


And today's look for which I used Spellcaster and Ravishing as a blush:


I will have to try Drakon on a different base to see if I can see the dramatic change of the undertones.
