My Pretty Zombie

I recently made my first purchase with a company called My Pretty Zombie. I have seen their page on etsy many time, but I never made a purchase. The other day they where running a 33% sale on everything in the store, so I figured why not. I purchased two collections that consisted of three colors each. The collections where $15.00 each, and with the 33% discount and shipping I mangaged to only pay $23.00 and some change. When buying Indie makeup it can be kind of tricky. The way the internet and photoshop have become, you can get items that you don't want, by deceiving photos. I had always been hesitant to purchase from My Pretty Zombie, only because their photos looked almost too good to be true, but boy wasn't I wrong. Actually there photos don't do the colors that I got enough justice. Below are photos of each pigment and swatches of each pigment.

 mNG set: a beautiful pink themed trio.
mNG #2
MPZ: a peachy pink with golden green shifts.
BMEB: A bright pink with a gold undertone. Looks pink one way and looks gold another way. Absolutely a beautiful color.
 
mNG#3
MPZ: a bubblegum pink with a blueish/purple shift.
BMEB: a light pink with a very vibrant blue/green undertone.
This color would be a great color for blending your pinks together due to its soft pink color and the iridescence in it.
 
mNG#1
MPZ: Hot Pink with a blue shift.
BMEB: a pink fushia color with a slight blue under tone to it. This has to be my favorite color out of these three colors. It includes two of my top three colors bright pink and light blue.
These shadows are easy to apply and work with (Blend). The shadows are very silky and soft, compared to other companies that I have tried out. The color pay off is also great!
 
The Blue Period Set
Dissoultion
MPZ: Purple/Blue base.
BMEB: Dissoultion is a stunning true blue with lots of purple iridescence. This is another one that you can look at and get two different colors. What I love about this color, is that stunning purple undertone to it. It latterly takes my breath away.

Infirmity
MPZ: Mossy green/ blue base.
BMEB: First off this color is just stunning again. It have a darker blue color to it but also has greenish/gold undertone to the pigment. Again this is another pigment that looks one color one way, and another one a different way.

Forsaken
MPZ:Turquoise/blue base
BMEB: This is a pretty plain blue compared to the last two. This is a very bright and vibrant blue. For me there really isn't another to describe this color then what I did.

Next thing is swatches of each of the collections.
mNG trio: These have been swatched over benefit lemon aid and photos where taken with flash.


The Blue Period Trio
Each shadow was swatched over Vixoden Cosmetics Eye Plaster and taken with flash.
