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.  

Black Violet Winter Collection

I feel like I've been buried under an avalanche of Christmas cheer.   Which I have noone but myself and my brilliant idea to Crochet All The Gifts! this year.   The worst part is I'm not even done.

Me, for the past 2 weeks.

Seeing how it's actually Christmas, I won't see the rest of the people I have gifts for till next month, and I got another Black Violet order last night, I thought I'd take a rest and get back to the fun stuff: Talking about my precious precious indies. This batch I ordered when Black Violet opened back up the week of Black Friday.  I was going to wait for the sale because I wanted the Glamour Doll Eyes GWP.  Then Momotaro sold out of the Wildflower section and I panicked.  What I did manage to score was full sizes of Snow White Tea and Marrakesh, and samples of all 4 of her winter release scents, as well as a mini of Bavarian Apfel Cider from the fall stuff.  My free samples were a Komorebi Body Butter sample and a GDE shadow.

Ten Three Labs

I've been curious about this line since Cara announced she was opening up her own shop over on reddit's Indiemakeupandmore sub. Ten Three Labs opened officially on October 3rd, fittingly enough, with a collection of eyeshadows, perfume oils and lip products. About two weeks ago I was finally able to put in an order. Spoiler alert: it won't be the last one. I really wanted the LE Howl O'Ween collection, and while I was at it I picked up a blogger pack of four smudge sticks and a salve stick. 

The whole she-bang

I was very impressed with the speed with which I got my goodies. Her stated TAT is 10-14 business days. I got my order in about a week. Also, I love that she puts the sifters on the side. It saves my poor brittle nails from having to try to pry them out. Another neat thing is that every order comes with seeds. I got marigolds which go lovely with tomatoes. Alright, on to the reviews.
