For my second-ever indie purchase, I wanted something really good. So when I saw on IMAM that Corvus Cosmetics was releasing a Futurama-based collection, I knew I had to have it. I ordered a set of samples on November 16, and they arrived to me November 21, which was an amazing turnaround.

First of all, the packaging was super cute and secure. Included was a nice little handwritten note thanking me for the order and some candy (yum).

(This was taken after I had already decanted a few of them, oops!) I received the nine sample baggies of the Year 3000 collection, plus a sample not listed on the shop, called Ice Queen. I’m not a fan of the sample baggies, so I decanted them all into 5 gram jars (I use these ones I got off amazon and they work great).

Here they all are, I found the samples to be VERY generous sizes. Now for the main event:

Swatches! From left to right: Bite My Shiny Metal @$&!, Zero G Jugs, Orange Joe, Smizmar, Champaggin’?, Good News Everyone!, Clobberella, Ice Queen, Why Not Ziodberg? Fine Jamaican Bacon. Swatches done over ELF glitter glue.

Fine Jamaican Bacon (Shop description: A chocolate brown with a satiny, slightly sparkly finish) I love this color so much. It’s not a matte, it has a bit of sparkle, but it’s not overwhelmingly sparkly. I think this will be a beautiful crease/outer V color!

Why Not Zoidberg? (Shop description: A bright coral-pink with a gold shift) I knew I wanted this as soon as I saw it. I have a terrible weakness for corals and for gold shifts, so this was amazing. It’s like if someone took NARS Orgasm and made it into a gorgeous sparkly eyeshadow. It was super smooth to apply as well, which is always a plus.

Ice Queen (not listed) This was an amazing free sample to get. I adore cool, icy blues, and the name is very accurate! It shows up really well for being so light.

Clobberella (Shop description: Velvety, smoky purple with a soft violet shift) “Velvety” is the perfect word to describe this shadow. The violet shift is gorgeous, I definitely can’t wait to try it out on the lid.

Good News Everyone! (Shop description: A light, minty green with a strong gold shift) Remember my weakness for gold shifts? Yep. Oh my god. This color was like a gift from heaven. I’ve been wanting a green like this, and the gold shift suits the color perfectly. It wasn’t the most pigmented in my swatches, but it seems to be very buildable.

Champaggin’? (Shop description: A rose-gold champagne color with a bit of sparkle) This is a really nice gold, not too intense and obvious about being gold, but very distinctly a gold color, if that makes sense. It’s very warm, leaning towards orange, and the shimmer is present but not overwhelming.

Smizmar (Shop description: Soft, sparkly, super light pink) This color is inspired by Amy, and it’s so easy to see why. It’s such a soft, baby pink that’s very feminine to boot. It was really smooth to apply, too.

Orange Joe (Shop description: A warm orange with a slight gold shift) Guys. GUYS. This is the color of my dreams. Oh my god. It was so pigmented, when I applied the swatch I literally gasped out loud. I love oranges so much, especially in the cold weather, and this just was everything I could have ever wanted. I can’t rave about this color enough–if you get one color from this collection, definitely get Orange Joe.

Zero G Juice (Shop description: A royal blue with a slight aqua shift) This is a close second for my favorite color of the collection. The blue is so rich and deep, and the aqua shift suits it perfectly. The texture is almost velvety, super smooth and pigmented as well.

Bite My Shiny Metal @$&! (Shop description: Shiny antique silver with a slight brown base) This is such a gorgeous color. It makes me think of thrift shops and candlesticks and victorian decorating and I’m romanticizing it a lot but look how beautiful it is. The silver over the brown looks beautiful and it shows up really well.

Overall, I adored this collection. For Corvus Cosmetics’ first release, it absolutely blew me away, and I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on them as a company.
