KaeQ

I've resisted ordering from KaeQ for ages. Don't get me wrong, I really wanted All The Things. The problem is I was in the middle of a Low Buy when Nicole opened up shop. It doesn't help that I'm a lipstick junkie. Considering the amount of lip products I already had, I could justify getting more... No matter how much I really wanted them.

I finally decided to take the plunge when KaeQ did their tandem 20% off sale with Baroque Cosmetics last month.  Plus, buying at one shop got you a coupon for the other. I ended up picking up two Besos and a Mielo balm.

Life's Entropy Animal Sanctuary

Next up in my Trying To Clear My Back Log of Reviews Series, I thought we'd talk about Life's Entropy Cosmetics.  Mostly because I found out that they are discontinuing part of their product line on July 1 to make room  for Exciting New Things.   According to LE's facebook page, the following are on the chopping block:

* ALL of the Animal Sanctuary Eyeshadows except: Just Kitten and Owl Always Love You
* ALL of the Secret Shop Eyeshadows except: Dismember, Exorcism, and Astral Imprisonment
* Yellow & Brown Foundation Elixirs
* Electron & Quark Particle Contour Sticks
* Alloy, Coralation (will be reformulated), Recursion, and Synapse Lip Theories

My first experience with LE was picking up a sample set of the Animal Sanctuary collection of eyeshadows, plus a sample of Smoke Screen in a swap I did ages and ages ago.  

Smelly Yeti Perfumery

TRIGGER WARNING:  Extreme amounts of Buffy fangirling, excessive gif-age, (crack) shipping, and crushes on fictional characters.

Normally I don't fall for a collection just because it's based on/inspired by/whatevered from a Thing That I Love.  But then Smelly Yeti came out with a collection of Buffy themed perfumes and I was like "Yes please."  In my defense, everyone on IMAM was like "Ooh Smelly Yeti is awesome.  You need it.  You're a giant sucker, Mel.  Do it.  BUY IT."   So I rolled for save vs impulse buy and got a 1.  (I'm also a bit of a D&D nerd.  I'm sure this is info you needed).  Also, Buffy perfumes are much easier to justify than an eyeshadow collection, because I don't have quite so many.  Yet.
