I just received my second order from Notoriously Morbid and I am very excited! Here’s a quick look at what I think.

I placed an order on February 21st and February 24th. Not a bad turn around time at all! Less than two weeks between both of my orders being placed, and having them in my hand. I was able to combine my two orders so I only had to pay for one’s shipping. Very cool!

Carrie(of Notoriously Morbid) has a promotion called Free Day Friday where each Friday she has a new offer. When I ordered, each order over $10 received a free full size eyeshadow called Douglas Firs(a pressure sensitive shadow!) from her new collection. Previous offers have included free shipping, free coffin kissers, and 2 free mini eyeshadows.

My Friday order was a full size of Noble, a limited edition “lemon pound cake” coffin kisser(their lip balm), and a “strangely charming cherry” coffin kisser.

I wish you could smell through the Internet because these coffin kissers smell AMAZING. I’m kicking myself for only ordering one of the lemon ones. I am in love with citrus scents, and this one knocks it out of the park. It definitely smells like a lemon pound cake. Very sweet, but citrusy. It doesn’t give a cleaning supply smell off at all, which I was worried about. The cherry smells amazing as well. Very sweet, and true to a real cherry scent. It doesn’t remind me of medicine at all, which I was also worried about. I am very impressed with these, and wish I would’ve ordered them sooner! They feel absolutely great on the lips. I’ll post an update later on how I feel they hydrate over time, but so far they seem to be doing the trick. My lips are always extremely dry and I need a pretty heavy duty lip balm. So far, my scaly lizard lips have been loving the Coffin Kissers.

My Monday order was placed because Carrie released her new Twin Peaks inspired collection “Lost In The Lodge!” I ordered minis of “She’s Full of Secrets”, “Sometimes My Arms Bend Back”, “See You In 25 Years”, “My Log Saw Something That Night”, and “Garmonbozia”. With my free “Douglas Firs”, that makes up the entire collection! I also ordered a full size of “Big Bird Must Die” and sample sizes of “Hallowed Ground” and “Hallows Eve”. I got a free sample of Morgana and Catherine’s Woe(blush).

“Noble” is absolutely gorgeous and definitely makes me think of Donna Noble, it’s namesake. It’s a lovely matte orange with gold sparkles. The sparkles come to life over my Fyrinnae pixie epoxy, but even without primer it was quite vivid and not patchy. I plan to update with how well it blends and lasts. It is described as “Burnt orange semi matte with golden sparkles” on their website.

“Big Bird Must Die” is a mustard yellow with sparkles. It is quite sheer with no base but is very vivid over Nyx Milk and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. This is a discontinued shade, which is a shame because I really like it! My daughter watches quite a bit of Sesame Street and Big Bird is such a whiner! The yellow definitely looks like a Big Bird Yellow.

“Hallowed Ground” was a limited edition Halloween color that Carrie brought back for a limited time due to so many customers asking for it. I snatched up a sample since it looked interesting enough. Wow. I wish I would’ve bought a full size. On bare skin, it is a sparkly dusty greenish brown that is pretty, but this shade is remarkable over primer. It looks so different over Milk and Pixie Epoxy! It brings out gorgeous bronze tones and looks foiled.

“Hallow’s Eve” was also a limited edition Halloween color that was brought back for the same reasons as “Hallowed Ground”. On bare skin, it looks like a dark purple/grey with lots of shimmer. Over primer, it looks like a gorgeous purple/grey with a lot of shimmer. It also has a tinge of bronze. Both of the Halloween shades definitely say Halloween to me in the best possible way.

“My Log Saw Something That Night” is the first of the new Lost in the Lodge collection. Over my bare skin, it almost looks like a matte brown, very reminiscent of bark on a tree. Over a base, it is absolutely gorgeous with lots of shimmer. I see myself using this one a lot. I’m a sucker for browns. It is described by the site as “A warm bronze with golden glimmer.”

“Sometimes My Arms Bend Back” is also from the new Lost in the Lodge collection. Over my bare skin, it’s very sheer. A light brown with quite a bit of sparkle. Over a base, it is gorgeous. It has a bit of blue over the rose brown. It reminds me of a very sparkly tree branch. I also see myself using this one a lot. It reminds me a lot of Sidecar from Urban Decay. It is described by the site as “A soft rose copper with a slight blue shift. “

“She’s Full of Secrets” is the third of the Lost in the Lodge Collection. It barely shows up on my bare skin. It looks like a pinky highlight with a teal shimmer. Over primer, it is one of the prettiest shadows I’ve seen in a long time. It’s a pink/blue duochrome, and I catch lots of green and purple as well when I shift my arm. I’m not a good enough photographer to capture just how awesome this shadow is! It is described by the site as “A sweet classic pink, but not for long. The cool blue shift overpowers the pink the more you build. “

“Garmonbozia” is the fourth of the Lost in the Lodge Collection. Over bare skin, it looks like a shimmery yellow with a blue tint. Over primer, it looks like a warm version of Sometimes My Arms Bend Back. It looks like a brown/blue or brown/white duochrome. I can’t quite decide which I’m getting from it. You definitely want a primer for it. It is described by the site as “A creamy corn yellow with a chestnut undertone and a frigid blue shift. The more you blend, the more the chestnut undertone appears. If you are really into unique shades, this one is for you.”

“25 Years” is the fifth color from the Lost in the Lodge Collection. Over bare skin, it looks like a sheer gray with pink shimmer. Over primer, it looks like a dark gray/pink duochrome. I see myself using this for darker looks. It is described by the site as “A deep taupe with rosy pink shift.”

“Douglas Firs” is the final color from the new Lost in the Lodge Collection. This is the first “pressure sensitive” shadow Notoriously Morbid has released, and also the first pressure sensitive shadow I have ever used. When you first apply it over bare skin, it looks like a light matte green. Over primer, it looks like a more vivid matte green. When you blend it, or apply more pressure via brush/finger, it turns into a deep blue/green, even over bare skin. I’m a little wary of using this in a look in case I don’t blend evenly, but once I get better at it, I see it being an awesome look. I’m very impressed with how vivid it looks blended even over bare skin. It stained my skin slightly when used over Nyx Milk and being blended to maximum blue, but came off with a bit more effort. It is described by the site as “A matte piney green that transitions into a deep blue.”

I hope Carrie continues to make pressure sensitive shadows in other colors since I don’t wear green or blue very often 🙂

I received a free sample of “Catherine’s Woe”, a blush from Notoriously Morbid’s line of Ripper’s Rouge. It is a very intense matte burnt orange. I see myself using this a lot, and definitely plan on buying a full size when I run out. I absolutely love coral and orange blushes.

I also received a free sample of “Morgana”, which I already owned from a previous order. I noticed the bag color looked different from my other sample.

I swatched both and found the new one to be much less blue than the older sample.

They are both very pretty, but definitely didn’t look like the same color. I contacted Carrie, and she said, “It’s my new blender. I was afraid it would be. that means the whole batch is going to act like that.” She immediately offered me a free replacement and threw up an announcement on her Facebook. I was incredibly impressed by how kind she was and how she was very honest and open about what happened. I let her know I didn’t need a replacement since it was free to begin with 🙂

Overall, it is really hard to pick a favorite out of all my new pretties. If I absolutely had to choose, I would either choose the Lemon Pound Cake Coffin Kisser, or Sometimes My Arms Bend Back. I see myself using both on a near daily basis. So far I’ve only done swatches but I am in love. I am way stoked that I got a sample of the Catherine’s Woe blush. Her sample sizes are totally generous, as are her mini sizes. Out of all the indies I’ve ordered from, I think Notoriously Morbid gives the biggest samples and minis. At first glance, the minis look like full sizes! I’m very glad that the Business Card that was included has a coupon code, because I definitely plan to buy again!
