My Pretty Zombie Black Friday Haul

I had not originally planned on making a Black Friday purchase from My Pretty Zombie until I saw the pictures and swatches of her brand new Blue Period Trio which made it's debut on Black Friday. This is an absolutely gorgeous collection and each of the shades are very glittery and so much prettier in real life!

Dissolution - Blue based royal purple filled with purple and red glitter.
Forsaken - Bright teal blue filled with blue glitter.
Infirmity - Blue based olive green filled with green and yellow glitter. This totally reminds me of Chanel's Peridot nail polish but in eye shadow form and way more glittery.

Grandma's Cleavage (sample) - Periwinkle blue with a gold shift. This one is so gorgeous! I don't think it's been released yet as it's currently not in her shop. I do want a full size of it once it is released!
Moist (sample) - Nectarine orange with a gold shift. Another that I believe has not been released yet.

My Pretty Zombie Haul

It's been a few months since I've ordered from MPZ but I was finally prompted to order from Andrea again when she released her new line of blushes. I was particularly excited about the MDMA blush which was a custom shade for Manda at Toxid-Lotus. Manda showed off some swatches of her blush and I knew I had to have it!

A couple of new things to note about MPZ. Andrea has changed the labeling on her jars and I think it is a definite improvement on the previous labels.  Originally the company name, quote and eye shadow name were labeled around the sides of the jars. Now, the company name and quote is on a nice label on the top. The shade name has moved to the bottom of the jar along with the ingredients, weight, and address. I had mentioned previously that the bottom label was difficult to read and these new labels are perfect.

The blushes come in larger 8g jars with sifters and contain about 3.5g of product. The small size of these jars makes it a bit difficult to use a blush brush in the lids but it's either this or upgrade to a 20g jar which I do prefer for my loose blushes. Currently Andrea offers samples as well as the 8g jar and I would totally love if she also added a 20g jar option. =)

Labeling on the blush

Jar comparison blush vs. eyeshadow

Anthrax - Bright grape purple with a strong iridescent green shift. This is one of the most unique purples in my collection. I <3 it!
Hoof and Mouth - Red based purple with a pink shift.
Mad Cow - Medium violet with a blue shift.
Amacyst - Dark blue based purple with purple and blue sparks. This looks more blue in pics than it is in real life.

Law Firm Lamb Cake - Sheer white with a strong pink shift and white and holographic sparks. This is a sister shade to Unicorn Pee but I still prefer Unicorn Pee to this one.
My Pretty Zombie (sample) - Hot pink with pink sparks. Now this is a HOT pink!
Disquiet (sample) - Shimmery sea green with a very slight blue shift.

MDMA blush - Candy pink with gold sparks. I <3 <3 <3 this blush! It's sooo pretty and much more so in real life.

My Pretty Zombie Revisited

My Pretty Zombie had a recent Heartsy deal which, after my first order, I took full advantage of. I am a VIP Heartsy member so I was able to buy this deal the day before it was released as well as receive an additional $10 credit. Small side note here, paying for VIP on Heartsy is totally worth it if you buy at least 2-3 vouchers a month. You get early access to deals so you know that you will be able to get whatever deal you're after before it gets sold out and also a lot of the deal offer and additional $10 credit so the VIP membership pays for itself.

Anyways, back to MPZ...I had Andrea put together a custom listing for me right before the Heartsy deal was released so that I wouldn't have to hunt through her listings for the colors I wanted. I ended up choosing 7 full size colors for my custom order. Check out my swatches below!

Bettie - pretty aqua shimmer

Roxie - hot pink with pink and purple glitter

Bride - bright white with silver glitter

Unicorn Pee - very light lavender chock full of holographic glitter. OMG this color is FREAKING AMAZING!!! If you only buy one shadow from MPZ BUY THIS ONE!!!! (oh and wonder of wonders, my camera actually picked up the glitters!)

Violet - dusty violet with aqua glitter

Agony's Decay - chartreuse with holographic glitter

Illustrated Ink - metallic navy with an aqua shift

After my no-buy, there are a couple of other MPZ shades I really want to pick up...although I doubt I'll love any of them as much as Unicorn Pee!!

My Pretty Zombie mNg collection!

My first MPZ haul!

I had heard about My Pretty Zombie (MPZ) awhile ago but had never really been interested in ordering from them until mNg from "I'm Not Skinny, So What?" had Andrea custom make her collection of gorgeous pinks known as the mNG collection. After I saw the swatches mNg posted of her custom collection I knew I had to order them!

mNg Collection

My packaged arrived in a standard yellow bubble mailer I believe about 7 or 8 business days after I placed my order which is a fairly standard TAT for most small MMUCs. My mNg collection came in a hot pink organza bag along with 3 samples, a hand written thank you, my invoice, 2 business cards and a plastic spider. I like that Andrea puts a lot of detail into her packaging.

 Her full size eyeshadow jars do not have sifters but they do come shrink-wrapped to protect against product loss. I always love when a company shrink wraps as it makes it look more professional. The full size shadows are labeled on the bottom with the list of ingredients. Her labels are rather difficult to read though because of the font so I think that in the future the font should be changed to something that's easier to read.

Free samples! Who doesn't like free?!?

On to the shadows...I love how silky smooth these eye shadows are. They glide on very smoothly and with very little effort on my part. As you can see from the swatches, the eye shadows are very highly pigmented and overall really gorgeous. The freebie samples she included were also quite generous. =)

mNg #1 - The darkest pink of the three in the collection, this one is a gorgeous fuchsia leaning slightly more towards the purple side. This has a pretty little aqua/green duochrome to it.


mNg #2 - I believe this is the boldest pink of this collection. I would say this one is a hot pink with gold iridescent shimmer. This also has a fair amount of red/orange tone in it.


mNg #3 - This one is the lightest pink of the three. This is a slightly sheer light fuchsia with green iridescent shimmer...and in case you're wondering...it is not possible to pick a favorite of these three. =P

Free samples

Rabies - A very pretty shimmery aqua/teal. Super gorgeous color particularly since I'm currently obsessed with teals/aquas right now.


Hangover - I was pleasantly surprised by this color. I didn't realize it was a matte until I swatched it. This is a gorgeous bright bubble gum pink!


Thunderpants - The picture shows this shade darker than it is in real life. This is more of an antiqued bronze color with teal glitter. Very unique and I definitely want a full size of this one.

Andrea, the owner of MPZ was very easy to work with and she clearly cares for her customers. I'm not really a fan of the bloodied and mutilated barbie dolls or the zombie theme but it is something I can look past (I generally do not like horror/gore/zombies). I do like the eye shadows I received this time around and already have another package from her on its way to me! =)
