Apocalyptic Beauty Cosmetics: Swatches and review

(image from their Instagram) click here to go to their etsy shop!

Apocalyptic Beauty is an up and coming U.S. indie brand that sells vegan and cruelty free makeup products.You'll find a mixture of themed products when you explore her shop, such as Pop Culture references anywhere from Evil Dead to Skyrim and even Princess Mononoke! Ive been Following the owner on Youtube for quite some time and was so excited when she decided to sell her own cosmetics! (Shes very knowledgeable and gives great reviews on many different indie makeup brands). There are various sizes to buy and samples of most items as well. Lets take a look at some of the products that are available:

Loose eyeshadows

Highlighters and Lip Balms

Apocalyptic Beauty was gracious enough to take me on as an international promoter while they start out, so as of right now I have not placed an order YET, but was given samples to test out and create looks using them. I was not asked to write a review nor would I if I didn't like these products. #Honestyisthebestpolicy ! Below is a mock up order to show you what cost would be to send to the UK, specifically.(prices will vary of course, depending on your location) As usual, international shipping is a pain BUT if you use the promo code KAMEHAMEH for 15% off. it’ll help bring that cost down a bit. I’ve never tried sending products to MyMallBox (if you don’t know what that is seriously GOOGLE IT! Could change your life!) If you are able to use a forward mailing service the shipping will go WAY down. I need to test if you can do this with etsy orders. If anyone has please let me know! NOW lets move on to some swatches…..

Heres some whimsical background info on the shades I currently have:

Kami - Light forest green with a stunning gold shift and loads of sparkle. If all the mystical creatures of the forest held a Mardi Gras, this is the eye-shadow they would wear to it.  Named in tribute to the films of Hayao Miyazaki.

Hypnotoad - Grassy yellow-green with an orange duo-chrome and violet sparkle.  The name is inspired by a popular animated series. Can you guess which one?

Wind-Up Bird - metallic yellow gold, invoking a chorus of gleaming metal canaries chirping as their gears whir.  Part of an upcoming tribute collection inspired by the works of author Haruki Murakami.

Gorehound - dark chocolate brown with red undertones and blue sparks.

Well I don't know about art but I know what I like
I'll be a surfin' in your good on a Saturday night
Yeah the devil with the blues, just blew that song
I go crazy and crazy, going, going gone!

"Gorehound" is named in tribute to The Cramps.

Gimme Back My Hand! - A rusty red-orange that, when rubbed across the skin, bursts into a blue-brown dipped in flames. Oh those dirty bastards... "Gimme Back My Hand!" is part of the Evil Dead eyeshadow collection.

Does That Sound *Fine*? - Light brown eyeshadow with a subtle green iridescent shift. Its questionable how *fine* Ash was in Evil dead 2. In Mirror Ashs words. I don’t think so. We just cut up our girlfriend with a chainsaw…"Does That Sound *Fine*?" is part of the Evil Dead collection

Mostly Harmless - A glowing blue highlight.  "Mostly harmless" was the full text of the entry on planet Earth in the Guide.  This is the highlighter in the Don't Panic collection, inspired by Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

It took me longer than i liked to get this review finished. The UK colds and flus are frequent and no joke I tell ya. They wreck my weak american immune system!😂 as you can see the eyeshadows are pigmented and theres various shades available already. Rhapsodii(Alisha Atkins), the owner, adds new products frequently to her shop so keep an eye out for them on her IG, Facebook or Youtube!
