Happy New Year to you! I hope you have been ringing it in and that 2015 has wonderfulness in store for you!
Yesterday I received my very first Life's Entropy order! Currently their website is down due to catching up on Black Friday orders--but I think Jane, the owner of Life's Entropy (LE), may be opening up soon as I think she's almost all caught up with everything! LE is quite active on their Facebook page so I'd recommend checking there for updates about products, sneak peeks to swatches for new items, etc.
Life's Entropy is a relatively new indie cosmetics company, but don't let that fool you--as my pictures and swatches will show, they produce lovely products and I think the pictures will speak for themselves! I believe LE opened in July of 2014 and they've been making quite the name for themselves as they offer a range of items you may not be used to finding from an indie company. They are 100% vegan and hooray for that! I have been tempted to put in an order since the beginning, but I only bit the bullet recently!
I put in my first order in the middle of November when a limited edition colour of their (very popular) Lip Theories was released to the public (previously it was available in a monthly sub with another indie company, Hello Waffle). I knew I had to have the limited edition colour, but then I realized that the shipping cost to Canada was a flat $8--kind of steep. So I justified it by...ordering more...of course! For my first order I purchased the limited edition Lip Theory in "Tundra", a Particle Contour Stick in "Neutrino", and two more Lip Theories in "Apoptosis" and "Big Bang Theory".
Shortly before Black Friday, Jane put a post up on the FB page saying that if anyone would like their shipping combined from a recent purchase with their future Black Friday purchase that that could be an option. I jumped on that! With the shipping price being pretty spendy, I was very glad to be able to combine my orders! It was super kind of Jane to offer to do that.
Then Black Friday happened and at that time, LE released their new (and much anticipated!!) Cosmos Collection--a lipstick collection featuring five lipsticks, three of which are colour "dupes" of popular Nars shades (more on this later). I had to have it! AND. LE *also* released their new Brow Theory pomade (which is a dupe of the very popular Anastasia Beverly Hills "Dip Brow") for Black Friday! Weeee! Basically--I had to put in a second order (on November 29th). I really didn't have a choice! :) My second order contained the complete Cosmos Collection, a Brow Theory in "Light Brown" and a bottle of the LE Revival Serum. After placing my BF order I had a moment of panic thinking I might not have chosen the proper colour for my Contour Stick and Brow Theory Pomade. I emailed Jane a picture of myself asking if she could give me some colour suggestions and she thought I chose the right shades. Hooray! Thanks to her for calming my mind!
Fast forward to December 31, 2014. My order ARRIVED! Yes, it took a while. I'm not at all bothered by that though--I'm used to things taking a while as I am in Canada. LE received a HUGE amount of orders for their lipsticks and now that I have them in my hands, I can definitely understand why so many of us were curious to try these babies out. They're pretty awesome!
ON TO THE PICTURES!! Brace yourselves--there are a LOT of pictures!
