Dark Princess with Dragon's Wing

This was a request from my Tweeter girls.
We were talking lipstick and combo's and I mentioned how pretty
Evil Shades Dark Princess is when you top it with ES Hardcore lips Dragon's Wing and as the saying goes...It doesn't exist unless there are pictures! lol
In shade you can just see a bit of the teal shimmer and a bluer tone to Dark Princess
Indoor lighting it looks more blurple
In direct sunlight you get a beautiful aqua shift floating over the purple base
I just kept turning in different angles of the sunlight so you can see it change
I dabbed Dragon's Wing on top of Dark Princess with my finger...a little Dragon's Wing goes a long way....ask any wizard!
Magically a flash of green over the purple!
I think this is one of my favorite lip combo's because I can match it to my nails! hehe

Sorry I've been busy

I am trying to post more regularly but I got rather busy
trying to finish up some work and when things start rolling I lose track of everything until it's finished.
So what stole me away from you....
My new Spectrum pots!
I have been working on this formula since early December.
Originally the idea was to be the fat liner pencils but that was a huge fail about 3000 times.
So I changed gears and looked to making them pots and TADA...it worked!
These are not a gel liner but more a cross between "paint pots" and "jumbo pencils" they work like a brightly colored sticky base, a creamy liner or a lid color. Since they are wax based (more like a liner) they apply best with a stiff angled liner brush, a sponge tip applicator, cotton swab or your finger.
These are the first 6 colors with many more to come.
I am very proud of the outcome and excited to see what everyone thinks.

I also spent a lot of time hunting down leak-proof non glass sample tubes so I can offer
my Hardcore lips in a sample size. I finally found a fit and tested it to death so now samples are available.

Oh and last night the lovely MoreSynthPlease caught my up in a spur of the
moment lipstick creation that stormed into a new product that I have not decided on if it will be Limited edition or something more but here she is...
More Synth glitter lipstick!
It was really fun to create and the Twitter mob demanding I put it up for sale on the website last night says it must be a good thing! XD

I will get back to regular posts Monday (I have 2 sick kids right now)
Miss you all!


Gift ideas/wishlist

See how I can combine the two. lol
I love Nars cosmetics....Orgasm blush is my BFF
I'm dying to try some of their lip products since I'm all grown up now and actually wear more than lip balm.
I need to get
Russian Doll
Tamango
and
Rouge d’Enfer

Their Lip Lacquers look so hot and $24 each not bad
I'm loving Hot wired

Their Lipgloss I have two that I adore
OK one now because I used the first up. :o)
I think I'm adding these to my Sandy Claws wishlist:
Down town
Bad education (for nostalgic reasons)
and
Boogie nights (the swatches on this are amazing)

Do you have any Nars lip or any Nars favorites to reccomend or on your wishlist?

My other creative outlet

You all know about my little Indy cosmetics company Evil Shades,
it is not only my business but my other creative outlet.
I have been working for over a month on some new colors, which I'll debute soon, but also I have been working on lipstick. I am crazy when it comes to my formulas. It took me several months to be happy with my lip gloss base formula and it has been improved over time. The base for my lipstick is no different except I have the benifit of being more knowledgable in the area now.These are less waxy than traditional lipstick and are almost a lip balm texture oh and they smell like candy because I'm an overgrown child! So since I love you all so much and you all are awesome about giving honest feedback, I thought I would give you a sneak peak of the first 6 colors that will be going up on Evil Shades website tomorrow.
Sorry the swatches aren't great but I'm taking full pictures tomorow.
The line is called Deviant Lipsticks
Bane is a purple/pink with a blue undertone.
It applies semi sheer and is buildable for a deep opaque look.

Diabolical is a metallic, deep coppery red with a ton of multi color shimmer.
She also is a wicked bitch who refused to be photographed even remotely close to her true beauty.

Primrose Path is a rosey pink with soft blue sparkles.

Corruption is a deep red based purple with turquoise shimmer.

Fiendish is a medium green based blue with purple sparkles.

Devilista was actually made by request for my sweet Christy of The Kronichles of a Konader. It is a bright red creme that just slightly leans pink but has no orange undertones.

Well there you have it friends, what do you think?
