I have finally started to go through all the stuff I have accumulated since my last posts and swatch some of it. I will start with the awesome-sauce Mon Ennui Cosmetics. I cannot say enough good things about the company and the lady behind the scenes, Vivi. She is the single most wonderful woman behind a company I have ever seen. She is so supportive of her clients and always has something encouraging to say.
I won't gush over her extensively but I will say this - I received a gift certificate for Mon Ennui for Christmas from a family member who doesn't even wear make-up and she raved about Vivi's customer service and excessive awesomeness.
Fore warning for these photos, it was very overcast when they were taken so they aren't phenomenal but they do show the colors. They were all swatched over Lime Crime Eyeshadow Helper.
Bottom Row: Drink Me, Eat Me, Zou Bisou, Wish for More Wishes, Poison Ivy
My favs from this batch are Snitch, Drink Me, and Poison Ivy, They are all wonderful and insanely pigmented. I don't think I could capture the sheens and shifts in them so you must see them in person.
Bottom Row: Birthday Girl, Antique Pearl, Party Favor, Bonsai Treehouse, Briar, Illusionista, Fire Opal
Favs from these are Trinket, Strobe, Emily's Lament, Party Favor, Bonsai Treehouse, and Fire Opal.
I'm not a huge fan of yellows and oranges but Sparkle Pony is amazing. It is one of their UV Glitters so it is formulated a bit differently. I found that it also went on more smoothly and opaque than the other two. I used LIT Cosmetics Glitter Glue for these and while it works fantastically with the LIT glitters it seems not to like the Mon Ennui ones - it gets all clumpy and such. I may have to invest in Mon Ennui's All Nighter Glitter Adhesive and give that a try with them.
