Today I'm testing out Sorcellerie Apothecary Something Wicked (vanilla, patchouli, sandalwood, and whiskey). I had to test this one right out of the mail last week when it arrived. I did a small dot on the back of my hand and could not stop sniffing myself. So now that it rested a few days I'm doing my full wear test. This is my first purchase from this house, the bottles are so nice! This scent is so sexy, and it makes me feel powerful. It's dark and just sweet enough to balance everything out. The sandalwood is a nice sharp addition, and the whisky makes it feel like a grown up vanilla. This is an instant favorite.

I'm trying some mineral foundation samples from Abomination Cosmetics (on Etsy). They used to be called something else... (Velvet Hexagon, I think?), then the store went away for a little while as they rebranded with a new name. Recently, I'd been doing a lot of experimenting with Willow Tree Minerals' foundation, and I love the formula but have had a hard time finding/mixing a shade that works well for me. Abomination carries a lot more foundation shades and their formula has some similarities, so I'm hoping to find a good fit.

I'm also wearing Danessa Myricks Colourfix Matte in Exposed as a medium-dark shadow primer, with Fyrinnae's Work Safe Blue over the top (and as a bottom liner), and Fyrinnae's Crimson Ghost as a highlight color. I love Work Safe Blue, but it's just too light for me on its own. I'm wearing Apple Spice Blush from Willow Tree Minerals and the tiniest bit of setting powder from Clean Faced Cosmetics, basically just a teeny bit on my nose and between my eyes.
