Virus Insanity first impression

I order a few samples from Virus Insanity awhile back and this is what I have for you today. I ordered 6 samples that came in little clam shells along with some business cards. The TAT (turn around time) was 10 days which is usually a bit longer than I am used to, but once they shipped I got the goods in a timely fashion. Everything came wrapped together nicely and in a bubble mailer. Full size regular shadows are $5.00 a piece while the duo chrome shadows are $6.50 for full size jars. Duo chrome samples are $2.50 and the regular shadow samples are $2.00. The colors I got all swatched really well and seemed to be very smooth, I think they will be easy to work with. Overall, I think I will more than likely be ordering from V.I again in the future.


Everything wrapped up fresh out of the mailer

The shadows and business cards.

L-R Just Peachy, XTC, Lime Sorbet, Dance Dance, Jasper and Sticky Caramel (no flash)

Colors same as above, just with flash



*Swatches down over Concrete Minerals Electric eye primer

Color descriptions off of site:
Just Peachy: a peachy orange
XTC: a pinkish purple with tons of rainbow iridescent glitter and silver rainbow hologram glitter.
Lime Sorbet: a light shimmery cool toned green.
Dance Dance: a golden yellow with tons of rainbow iridescent glitter and silver rainbow hologram glitter.
Jasper: a golden, brownish yellow
Sticky Caramel: a deep golden brown


Of the bunch, I think Jasper, Just Peachy and Lime Sorbet are my favs though I liked them all. Have you tried Virus Insanity before? If so, what colors should I try next?

I hope you all have a lovely weekend, and as always:

Hips, whips and strawberry lips,
Naomi
