Notoriously Morbid Vanishing Cabinet May 2015.

The theme for this month is The Price of Magic, inspired from the TV show Once Upon A Time. The Vanish Cabinet is the monthly subscription box from Notoriously Morbid, which bills for $17 per month. There was actually two months between this cabinet and the one before to allow the women at Notoriously Morbid a chance to focus, and create a comprehensive set (and move locations).

The VC comes with a nice print out welcoming you for the month. 

This is a guest blush from Dark Heart Designs. I would have never chosen this name, but perhaps those kinds of jokes about special massages where only in my group of 18-year-old friends. This is a nice coral blush with a gold sparkle that seems to remain even when you rub the blush in.

This is a sample of the new Diablo Lip Rouges called Wicked Heart.

These labels are really pretty.

Bottoms of the jars.

From left to right: You Want Darkness?, Dearie, Misthaven, Always the Queen.

Look at the sparkle!

Again, look at that sparkle!

It's a great value for 4 mini eye shadows, a lipstick and a blush sample. I've never heard of Dark Heart Designs, and I'm glad I can check them out. 

Swatches!

Top to bottom: Lipstick: Wicked Heart, Blush - Happy Ending, (A tiny bit of Dearie as I worried it might blend into my skin in the photos), You Want Darkness?, Misthaven, Always the Queen and Dearie.

Notoriously Morbid has had some drama this month, and I'm still making up my mind how I feel about it, so I'm just going to summerize with I adore Misthaven of this bunch. I want to try out the lip rouge and it gives the most beautiful purple sheen over the red. 

Do you still watch Once Upon A Time? What did you think of this cabinet?

Notoriously Morbid Vanishing Cabinet - February

Yey! It's my Vanishing Cabinet from Notoriously Morbid! This is a subscription running about $17 US monthly (including shipping). Stay tuned for swatches in a later post.

Adorable bag! And yes, that's Hartleigh from Julep. Can't get enough hearts and heart throbs today. 

 Yey! Themed delicious candy!

Super cute lids! They read (to the theme) "All the Men I Can't Have". In the interest of posting sooner, these are all British men that I had to google. No old school Matt Damons or Leonardos here.

The colours this month. More matte than last. A different vibrant than last.

A lip gloss which the hot men, and a sample from next cabinet called "Lover's Lane". Apparently it will be Game of Thrones themed. If it were up to me, the whole remaining year could be GoT. 

Here I am trying out the VC. Stay tuned for swatches!

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.
