First a notice! The shop is closed for a bit due to personal reasons but it will be back.
Anyway let's start...
Logo taken from Innocent+Twisted FB page.
Innocent+Twisted is owned by Linda and it's placed in Sacramento, USA (at least according to website, correct me if I'm wrong and since I threw out the envelope can't double check). I+T was opened in 2009 and only now I got to make my first order. I decided to go with full collection and as an upcoming collection I decided to pre-order Endless Rain. I made the order on May 13th and I received it late May which was fast.
Random fact before you get to see pictures - StrayCat from StrawberryMilkMade has made the artwork used in the stickers for this collection.
And now you get to see what I got in the package.
I also got samples of Last Caress and Insatiable. I didn't swatch these two but I might have a use for them later.
I really enjoyed seeing a list of all the products used for individual colours plus two cute business cards.
I like clamshells, they stack easily to small space and don't spill any products. Of course when you close them and they're as full as these were (you'll see later) some of the product will dust into the air when you close them.
Now to swatches. I've swatched all over Malu Wilz eyeshadow base which I think was not the best decision, these might've needed stickier base.
The dark stripes on the purple aren't fault in the actual shadow but in my technique, there was some darker shadow probably left over on the brush which turned it into streaky. Same can be seen on the lighter lilacy colour.
And the order I swatched them is exactly the same as how I've put these shells on the table:
You can also see how full these clamshells are - totally on level with the edge.
And here's (stolen from website) list of what each colour actually is:
1000 Cherry Trees (NV, safe) - Pale, frosted pink
Lavish Lollipops (NV, no lips) - Mauve pink that has a lavender undertone with a strong gold duochrome and gold shimmers.
Needs More Lace (V, no lips) - Medium purple with a blue duochrome and aqua sparkles
Cold Grace (NV, no lips) - Purple that has a red undertone with blue shimmers and sprinkles of fuchsia sparkles
Velvet Tears (NV, safe) - Warm red with green, turquoise, and blue shimmers. Has a subtle green sheen (requested by StrayCat. Dupe for the Lipstick Queen's LE lipstick "Monarch")
Weedwhacker (V, no lips) - Olive with gold and blue shimmers
Sleepwalking Pastorals (V, no lips) - Warm green with a subtle golden duochrome and sprinkles of blue sparkles
Endless Rain (V, no lips) - Soft metallic teal with a green sheen with sprinklings of white sparkles

I used 1000 Cherry Trees and Needs More Lace in a look that I will post this evening so stay tuned to see them in action.
In the end I'm really happy with my order and the colours are really nice especially now that summer is coming (or should be here already, just not feeling it atm when it's raining). Delivery was quick and everything was packed well. No spilling, all right colours and few extra samples. I like the artwork in the clamshells and store in general.
Colours are lovely and bleandable. They're also well blended and there aren't anything that shouldn't be there. Everything is labeled nicely, even the sample bags have great labeling.
Will I buy from the company again? I'm mostly likely to order from them again. I don't need new shadows atm but definitely a shop people should check out.
Have you ever bought from the company and what did you think of the products?


These colours look really pretty, love the greens in this collection!
ReplyDeleteI've purchased from I&T many times now, and every time has been a pleasure. Beutiful product and terrific customer service. Even the envelope everything arrives in is usually super cute :)
My favourite shadows from I&T are Grieving Flame (so pretty!), Cardio Blemish and Last Caress :) All the shadows I've received have always been well blended, well labelled and pigmented so highly!
