Wendi of Makeup Zombie did a beautiful swatch-fest of Detrivore Cosmetics shadows a while back, and I decided it was high time I checked the company out. I was feeling a little poor as it was just before Christmas so I just ordered a few samples. Shipping/TAT was all pretty quick considering I ordered just before Christmas/after Black Friday. Sample bags were $1 and I got two free samples and a coupon code for my next order was included as well. Each baggie has an ingredients list, as well as shadow name, number, and a cute symbol of a creature/scissors to denote the type as well. All really well labelled and packaged securely, so lovely jubbly.
Anyway… onto the shadows!
L-R: Vulture, Midas, Vile, Nymph, Vacancy.
L-R: Dust Bunny, Gorgon, Lobotomy (highlight shade) Leviathan.
L-R: Tommyknocker (matte), Creature (matte, free sample), Bone (matte, free sample), Apocalyptic (blush.)
I’m so sorry for the messy swatches… I did this super quick while the sun was out :|
Lovely, huh? Overall, I really like these colours. The mattes are fantastic, and I’m really pleased that I got a sample of Bone as I think a good white matte shadow is never a bad thing to have. Vulture, Midas and Vile are my favourites, and Dust Bunny is very pretty as well. Some shades aren’t as bright as I thought from the website photos, like Vacancy and Nymph, but it’s not a big deal – different monitors, settings, blah blah. Let’s move on to some looks:
Yes, I’ve done this look before with different shadows! I loved this look.Midas on the inner lid, Vile on the outer lid, a mix of the two on the lower lashline and Vulture in the crease with a tiny bit of Lobotomy to highlight. I might do a tutorial on this look?
This look I didn’t like so much. Dust Bunny on the lid, Creature on the lower lashline and Gorgon in the crease with Bone to highlight.
Tommyknocker on the lid, Lobotomy to highlight and also mixed with my foundation, Leviathan on the lower lashline. Evil Shades Devilista on the lid. How nice is Tommyknocker?
Overall… a great themed shop with beautiful shadows. The mattes are well worth a look, everything applied and blended easily. Great variety in the shop (I’ll be checking out the perfumes soon!) and everything is excellently labelled. 5 out of 5!
Have you tried Detrivore? Any recommendations for me?

That green look is amazing! I am yet to Detrivore, and I am intrigued xx
ReplyDeleteI ordered Bone since I only have one good matte eyeshadow and I really want to try if this is better or worse :D
ReplyDeletethose colours are gorgeous

I haven't tried yet, the 1st look makes me feel I need some colors from Detrivore.
ReplyDeleteI'm always looking for nice mattes, those look great, especially Creature :)
ReplyDeletethat vulture was a really cool colour! and so good for your eyes! (though, I have I hate/love for watching swatches, because I just want to buy everything I see!) Let's make up not war hehe!/Azure
ReplyDeleteI have about 50 Detrivore colours and I love most of them. Her samples are the most generous of any of the indie makeup companies and the shipping is very reasonable - esp. for international. Dagon (vivid purple) is one of my all-time favourites and her eye primer is absolutely the best. I prefer it to Pixie Epoxy.
ReplyDeleteYes ma'am! Detrivore for the win! Go on with that green look! Holy shiz.
ReplyDeleteLove the first look you did with these! And all the shades you swatched are gorgeous... I want Vulture for my very own.
ReplyDeleteYou do the most amazing eye make-up looks. I have no talent whatsoever with make-up!
ReplyDeleteThese are all really nice! I like Gorgon a lot (a good matte lilac is hard to come by) and that green look is amazing with your hair!
ReplyDeleteThe first look is my favourite - it reminds me of bananas and chocolate! ^^ Midas, Vile, Nymph,and Dust Bunny all look like my kinda shades. :)
ReplyDeleteI like to use light colors of eyeshadow. Some of these colors are my favorite. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletele maquillage jeune et marron est très beau !

I friggin love all the looks you did with the shadows, but especially that yellowy gold and brown one! I can't remember which Detrivore shadows I have and which I don't....I need to pull them out again!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried anything from Detrivore. Their mattes look very nice!
