Notoriously Morbid January Vanishing Cabinet Review


Notoriously Morbid offers a subscription for $17 per month (my costs, domestic or other locations may be different) called the vanishing cabinet. A few limited edition shadows are included, maybe extras and maybe a sneak peak of the next month's cabinet. From what I've read these are all themed, and usually quite clever.

This month is based on 80's cartoon Jem and the Holograms (which I've actually never seen). 

This is was my first month.

The baby loves it!


In total: 5 shadows, one sample, and one gloss.

Gloss: Starlight. Bubblegum pink with gold sparkles. Love. 



From Top to bottom. No primer.
Enticing Elba (sample). This blue was pretty in the bag, but didn't swatch on my skin very well. 
Pureheart - purple, beautiful.
Showtime - a very light pink, you can't see it on my arm well. I think it might look great on me. 
Show's Over - I love this one too. A very pretty sparking blue.
Rebel - a burnt red/orange. This one has the least sparkle.
Headstrong - a lovely teal with pink sparkles. Also love!


I'll try to upload a video of the sparkles again;

And, the true challenge. I'll try these in a look and see how they stay.

Look one:
I decied to let the sparkles shine front and center. And to try out this miracle primer from my last Birchbox. They colors were gone by six hours. Not overly surprising as I had lots of stuffed toys shoved in my face that day.

Look two:
This look was using control freak and glitter fix (both from Glamour Doll Eyes). I noticed some creasing but headstrong stayed in place as long as I needed it to.

update: I love headstrong (teal) and show's over (blue). I want to love pureheart (purple) and showtime (pink) but even with glitter fix, they won't stay on my lids. It could be I need to find a better primer/glue solution for these kinds of glitters and my eyes. They are very ... hooded?   

Oh, I also thought it was extremely generous of Notoriously Morbid to include a coupon code for this month. A great way to thank customers who love your product.
