More Morgana Cryptoria swatches! I just
got these in the mail this week, along with foundation samples (which
I will share later). I really love this company and their owner is a
pleasure to do business with, so I really enjoy sharing my MC stuff
online. I hope these swatches and small descriptions are helpful.
Electryone lipbalm is amazing!!! Sadly,
my camera just doesn't capture the true brightness of this balm. It's
brighter than this in reality, possibly even brighter (at least as bright) than the
popular “Countessa Fluorescent” by Lime Crime, but the color is a little different. It feels wonderful
on my lips and the color looks great while lasting good.
Fallen Angel liquid lipstick
(Discontinued)! This seems to have been a popular color, so I grabbed
it on clearance. It has lots of sparkle! Just look at that in the
corner of my lips! XD
Labyrinth liquid lipstick
(Discontinued)! I also got this one on clearance. I think it looks
like a darker and thicker version of Fallen Angel. Maybe I
accidentally put too much on, but it's really thick and slightly
sticky. And I don't know if I'd wear this color or not. But it's kind
of cool, I think. Another one of those dark colors that are good for
a Gothic look without being pure black (it's purple).
Aphrodite balm is beautiful! Again, my
camera didn't capture the real color or it for some reason (it seems
to not like pinks, I've noticed. :\ ). Here, it looks kind of nude,
but it's actually more pink and powdery(?) in color? I don't know, but it's really pretty and I can wear it to work! Also, those purple streaks are from where I swatched Fallen
Angel before this. :P
Chameleon balm is pretty cool. I like
that the color is sort of metallic-looking and it's kind of minty in
color. It feels good on the lips, but took several strokes to get it
semi-opaque. I was wanting a lip color good to use for doing makeup
of Kaya (Hime) from Schwarz Stein, and I think this might do well
enough. :)
The balms are so wonderful I'll have to
get more in the future, but I'm not sure if I'll get more of this
collection's (Summer 2013 only) colors without seeing swatches first
or not. I love that ¾ of them are so opaque, yet feel wonderful on
my lips! Terrific product!
*The Hera lipbalm can be seen in my last post of Morgana Cryptoria swatches here: http://blondegothic.blogspot.com/2013/06/morgana-cryptoria-spring-2013-swatches.html
