So, last time I bought from I+TA, I was really happy. I’d ordered a petitie lucky pack with a mix of colors where Linda chooses for you, and I was pleased, so I thought, why not do it again?

So, I sprung for another petite mystery pack, as well as a couple of clamshells. Linda had announced on her Facebook page that there was a 25% off sale going on , so I went for it. July is my birthday month, and it was a rough one for me health-wise, so I wanted to treat myself!

Ordered July 3

Shipped July 14

Arrived July 17 (yes, it’s taken me that long to swatch, photograph, write up everything….)

Well under the stated turnaround time! Yesss.

I ordered samples (i.e. giant very full clamshells) of Alluring Descent and Cold Grace, as well as a Petite Lucky Pack. In the petite mystery pack, I received five gorgeous shadows. Plus, I received an Oops #5 as a freebie (which can’t be an oops – it’s too gorgeous to be an oops!)

Now, what you are really here for swatch-y swatches. All swatches are shown with Darling Girl’s Glitter Glue on Top and NYX White Eyeshadow Base on bottom.

Cold Grace:

This color is just as beautiful as I’d expected it to be. It’s a bright violet color with a super subtle blue shift and a ton of pink and blue sparkles. LOVE!

Oops # 5:

Linda likes to send out any of her “oopsies” from mixing. I think these are basically colors that aren’t the specific ones she was going for, but just so lovely that it’d be a shame for them to go to waste. This is one of those. It’s a turquoise blue with a soft red shift and lots of mostly red sparkles.

Alluring Descent:

I almost fell out of my chair with this one. WHOEVER YOU ARE. WHEREVER YOU ARE. GO BUY THIS. NOW. I cannot stress that enough. This color is heavenly. It’s a deep rose color with a copper shift and it’s amazing. Simply amazing.

Rose Royalty:

Lovely! This color has some intense coverage as well. Look at the swatch. You can barely see where the primer ends and where it begins. Very impressive, especially for a color that isn’t crazy dark. This color is a peach-pink with a coppery-red sheen to it.

Poisoned by Paranoia:

This color is fantastic. Without primer, it’s a super sexy chartreuse (am I the only one who thinks chartreuse is sexy?), and with primer, either GG or white base, it’s a medium green with a blue shift and lots of blue sparkle.

Into Eternity:

Again, I’m impressed with the coverage here. For such a pale color, it is BAM, even without any primer. It’s a shimmery silvered peach color. Almost blends in with my skin, but it’s much prettier and sparklier than my skin, so I like that.

Velvet Crooner:

Wow. I’m so glad this was in my mystery pack. This is a dusty purple color with a strong bronze shift. So much sparkle, too. Love.

Look at all these sparkles. Seriously.

I do love I+TA. I really recommend Linda’s eyeshadows, since they’ve always been great quality. And so far from my indie experience, she makes some of the sparkliest shadows. So, if you like glitter and sparkles, then, give her a try! Also, she just launched a new website. Check it out!
