Stay Beautiful: First Look: Living Dead Grrl - Makeup to Die For!

Lyndsay from new BRITISH indie cosmetics company Living Dead Grrl contacted me last week explaining all around her new party and asking if I would like some samples to review. I took a look at the situation and was pretty much sold - a long-time blog reader and 'token goth' who is self confessedly opposed to repackaging and bored of waiting for awesome indie make-up from the States creating her own indie makeup?

Yeah, I'm down with that.There are currently four shadow collections available from Living Dead Grrl: Spaced, So I Married An Axe Murderer, The Cure Disintegration Collection and the Roller Derby Collection. A full sample across the freaks n' geeks board, I'd say.Anyway, Here Be Eyeshadows:Samples, two good sized, business card with cute note from Lyndsay.The Spaced Collection. L-R: Skip To The End, Heeello Brian, Robot Club, Fantasy Bazaar.First of all: I LOVED SPACED. (If you haven't seen it. Oh, god. Just. wha? Go There! I sifted through the samples I received to stop these out first - you'll find I didn't swatch the other colors in their collections. Ooops! Fantasy Bazaar is my favorite of the quad. It's really vibrant and pretty, and I don't give another gold that leans this yellow. Fried Gold ;)L-R: Mrs X (So I Married An Axe Murderer), Passing the Star (Roller Derby), Being Electrocuted (SIMAAM), Lullaby (Cure Disintegration.Of these, Being Electrocuted and Lullaby are my favourites - Lullaby is a beautiful soft grey with multi-coloured shift. Mrs X and Pass the Star are colors that I do have similar versions of from other companies - although Mrs X leans more a little more plum that other metallic indie reds I receive and Passing the Star has gold and silver sparkles which makes it alone to my collection.L-R: The Same Deep Water As You (Cure), Whip It (Roller Derby), Fascination Street (Cure), Derby Wife (Roller Derby.Oooh, I wish to bear all of these together! Whip It is a fantastic green with a gold shift and Derby Wife is comparable a more purple version of Evil Shades Suffocation. I know that I'm thinking of things I can pair these with already - a dependable house in my book.L-R: Lead Jammer (Roller Derby), That's A Fact! (IMAAM), Woooman (IMAAM.Lead Jammer is great - we all take a negro with multi-coloured sparkles but this is a grey! Hooray. Lyndsay was king enough to charge me full sizes of That's A Fact and Woooman after I said I wish them, which was very sweetness of her and I'm glad as they are both gorgeous. You can't tell, but That's A Fact has lovely orange sparkles.The Boring Stuff:Full Sizes are 3.50, samples are 1.00 for 1/4 tsp. A collection costs 12.00, so you get a decent saving.Full Sizes are packaged in 5g square sifter jars. My jars were secure - no leakage.Flat rate shipping cost of 1.99.Does not currently ship outside of UK.Living Dead Grrl uses Etsy as a shopfront, so bare and easy.All shadows are clearly labeled as to whether they are vegan or not, as well as whether they are eyes and lip safe. I.e. Skip To The End reads: Eye, Face and Nail Safe. Not Lip Safe. Vegan.Ingredients listed clearly on etsy listings.I got sent everything you see here by Lyndsay for inspection purposes which does not exchange my notion of the products. It also means I can't say too often about her customer service as *technically* I'm not a customer, but she comes across as fun, professional and passionate, which all level to 'awesome' in my book. I'm excited to see where Living Dead Grrl goes next!You can be Living Dead Grrl on FaceBook and Twitter.
