Innocent + Twisted Alchemists June Sample Subscription

Now before I start describing this month's products, can I just say thank you for awesome customer service?! Last month, there was an issue with the blushes.  The blushes had been pressed and sent, but when an issue occurred (pan reacting to the glue), I was notified via email and Facebook to throw them out.  This month, she sent out them again (non-pressed) which truly describes her dedication to happy customers.

Cute packaging as usual! There was a doughnut sticker on the back too!

Now opening the packaging, I received two envelopes, one opaque with a bear and bunny and the other with their mascot. At this point, please keep in mind I have the sample sized subscription. There is also a full size available.


Upon opening the blue envelope, I am welcomed with the infamous card of surprises!  There is a wonderful note describing the issues from past months, but honestly I am receiving my subscription by the 10th of the month so I'm happy :D Included on the card is the contents with the exclusive colors from I+T and the bonus samples.  Additionally, there is a 30% off coupon code for subscribers to her shop, which is pretty awesome! Specially since her eyeshadows and blushes are gorgeous!

 Included in this month's subscription is three eyeshadows by I+T. Twinkle Sparkles (ELF safe, not Vegan), ALKALI (Not lip safe, Vegan), and Sparkling Wail (ELF safe, Vegan). For the sample size, each is contained in a clamshell case.  I am personally too clumsy for these cases, so they often get put into regular cases. 

Swatch time! For all swatches, I will have one blended in (no primer) and a square of color on top of NYX milk.  From left to right, we have ALKALI, Twinkle Sparkles, and Sparkling Wail. My first note on these is that Sparkling Wail is so incredibly unique.  If patted down, it creates a dark purple with incredible sparkle (they all do this) but when blended, you get almost a black shade. 

That bunny bag is packed! Hope you didn't forget about this one. It contains samples from BFTE, Eccentric Cosmetics, Hello Waffle (AH!), and My Pretty Zombie Cosmetics (WHAT!?). Sorry for caps lock on this one, but I am so incredibly excited to get to try the last two, especially Hello Waffle.

For this one, it was easier to just show you all the items laid out together. First, we have BFTE who gave us a small sample of Sherbert and a larger sample of Dejavu in a jar. Next is Hello Waffle with Malva (blush), and then Eccentric Cosmetics with Mirage. Finally is My Pretty Zombie with Anthrax. Additionally, we have the two blush samples from May and a full-sized blush from I+T.


From left to right, Sherbert, Mirage, Antrax, Malva, and Dejavu. Mirage is my favorite from this batch, as the color reminds me of a mermaid tail. Sherbert I wish was a little more intense, as it nearly disappears on my NC05 (does that even exist? I'm pale) skin.  Malva(blush) and Anthrax would be really cool together, if you wanted that much purple in one look.

 Lastly we have the blushes. Now these are all done without primer with blended on the left. Top to bottom is Psychotic Embers, Whispering Spells, and Vacant Smile. As you may have read from my previous post, I already like the bottom two. Psychotic Embers though... that is my jam! Unfortunately, my new phone has a horrible camera but the color is just gorgeous, especially in the jar. This one I would highly recommend buying for yourself! Also, Malva from before could easily double as a blush. I considered it as eyeshadow, but now I'm thinking more blush.


Overall, this was an amazing subscription and I am so fortunate to have gotten on it. I currently pay $12 (USD) for all of these items on a monthly basis with shipping included. You can go up to the full-sized subscription at $18? I would need to go look it up again. Favorites would be Psychotic Embers, Mirage, and Sparkling Wail. Hopefully, I will get around to posting my purchase from Shiro and my Ipsy June subscription (when it gets here). Thank you to reading!

Edit: I made some mistakes: 1-Malva is a blush, not an eyeshadow. 2-The reaction was with the pans to the glue. So sorry for these mistakes, and thank you to u\infamousjoe and u\ashhole613 for your contributions!
