Linnaeus Cosmetics Eyeshadow Swatches

I've only heard about of Linnaeus Cosmetics recently but I think the animal themed collections are so cute and fits in so well with Marin's goal of becoming a veterinarian. Right now she's got a goal in mind to donate a portion of her sales to wildlife organizations after she breaks even with the business.

So you know you have to support them. She has a sale now where if you buy six full size eyeshadows, you'll get one eyeshadow free. This sale will ends at the end of July. She's also got a separate deal where for every $10 you spend, you get an entry to win an indie bath and beauty gift basket.

She makes such an effort to personalize everything and to get feedback on her products. She also takes your eyeshadow choices in consideration when she picks free samples for you. This is the note that came with my package. On the mailer there was also an image of a moose stamped on it.

Anyway, now onto swatches. These were done over Coastal Scents Shadow Worx Matte Primer and taken under an Ottlite.

From left to right; Aberrant, Anomaly, Cliff Line, and Kalahari

Myth, Sprightly and Zippy

They have excellent adhesion, I didn't get any fallout at all when I used it on my lids. Full size jars retail for $6 containing 2.8 grams of product and they also have sample packs to try out! Shipping was cheap at $1.50 for my 5 samples.

Have you tried Linnaeus Cosmetics?

    It is so pretty, I wasn't sure if I'd like Anomaly but I love the dark taupe color

    Aberrant is a nice skin tone color, in the bag it looks a lot more orangey but it tones down nicely on my skin

    Cliff Line is definitely easy to wear, and I think Kalahari is good for a day when you want to look nice but don't want to put in any effort
