This first shade is Exsanguinate ( I love the names of these pigments). It is such a GORGEOUS red with a hint of shimmer in it. I swatched each shade twice, once alone (left) and once over a white base (right). One of my favorite things about this shade is the color difference when you put it over the white base. It's like having two separate shades in one container! I love this one so much. Also, the texture of all of these pigment is SO smooth which makes it incredibly easy to blend, which, for me, is the pretty much the most important feature in any pigment,
Next up is Gangrenous!
This color is so amazing. It is such a great shade of blue with the most amazing teal, turquoise, green sheen to it. When you put this on, every way you turn you see a new color. It's so beautiful. I can not WAIT to build a look around this little beauty. (I'll be doing a post for that in the next few days!) Trust me when I say, pictures do not do this the justice it deserves. It is stunning. If you've never tried this brand, and you are looking to try it now, I DEFINITELY suggest purchasing this one!
And lastly, my favorite, Goth Mary Poppins.
This one was such a happy surprise. I love black shadows and upon first glance, I thought this was going to be another matte black shade to add to my collection. But I was SO wrong, This is not a typical black shadow. The shimmer in the shadow is so fabulous. And it's not like some other black shimmer pigments, where it looks so great in the container, but you either can't see the shimmer once it's on the eye, or all the glitzy stuff falls out on to your face when applying. Let me tell you, the shimmer in this pigment, is no joke! This is also great because, even if you don't have a white base to stick under it, the color is still so bold and true. I am so excited about having this in my current collection. I intend to do an entire look with these pigments in the very near future, so keep looking for that :)
Overall, I am incredibly pleased with my first "blog review" shadows. My Pretty Zombie shadows are so easy to work with. I am not a makeup artist. I'm still experimenting with products and learning as I go. This brand is PERFECT for me, and other girls who are on a learning path as well. They are so versatile. MPZ has SO many amazing shades for you to check out and I promise you, you will not be disappointed. When I started this blog, it was partially because I wanted to really expand my knowledge of brands outside of the big shots. Not that I don't love my Too Faced and Urban Decay, but there are so many lesser known brands that offer such great products that are often times even BETTER than their more expensive competitors. This is one of those brands!
Thanks again to Andrea for sending me these to review. I am definitely a life long fan now, and I hope everyone reading this will be as well!
