New Morgana Cryptoria Lipstick Swatches

During Black Friday weekend, Morgana Cryptoria had some really awesome sales going on. For the first hour of the sale, her new pastel lipsticks were only $5! Normally they are $9 each. I jumped right on that and also got two other lipsticks I'd been eying. I won't lie, I just got these in today, but I couldn't wait. Especially for the pastels.

I know lip swatches always seem kind of awkward(especially since I have a hideous chipped tooth that I NEVER notice until I see pictures of myself), but I think swatching them on your hand is less effective for showing what they look like so I did it anyway.

Sangria:I will probably wear this a lot. It looks quite a bit brighter in this photo than it actually is, though. That's not a bad thing, it's a really "wearable" color and I can see it working well for lots of different skin tones.

Wisteria:I LOVE this. Pearly pale pale lilac. It's surprisingly subtle, and really frosty. This looks great on it's own, and I bet it would be good for layering. It's not as purple as I thought it would be, but it's still nice. This is one of the brand new pastel colors from Morgana.

Icy Mint:OK, I have absolutely no idea when I'll be able to wear this, but I couldn't resist! Look at that awesome color! It actually smells and feels minty too. I'm going to have to think of a neat way to use this for a photoshoot.

Otherworldly:Last but not least. This is my FAVORITE of the bunch. THIS, my friends, is the cool-toned purple I've been looking for. Get ready to see this on me A LOT.

As with all the Morgana lipsticks, these are very firm in the tube, but smoooooooooth on your lips. I love the packaging for the pastels, because you can see the color in the bottom since the tubes are clear.
Has anyone else tried the pastel lipsticks yet? Or Morgana lipsticks in general? Otherworldy is my new favorite!

Have a lovely afternoon/evening! :D

  4. I love the mint green! Even though it probably wouldn't look good on me and I don't have a clue where I would wear it, I want it anyway. =)

    I find lip swatches more helpful than arm swatches too.

  5. Although I wouldn't ever wear the pastel ones it looks so nice and opaque on your lips!

  6. I really want Lush and Shrieking Orange to add to my collection. I'm not joking about 'collection' either... I have eight Morgana lipsticks.

  7. I much prefer lip swatches to hand swatches as well. And I never would have noticed your chipped tooth if you hadn't pointed it out, so don't be so conscious of it :p

    If you wanna add another blue-toned purple to your collection next time you order from Morgana, try Lillian. It's a bit darker than Wisteria, but it looks to be the same finish, and there are really no warm undertones at all. Just in case you're interested :3

    Otherworldly IS pretty stellar. I'm glad you finally found it! Can't wait to see it on you more.

    My favorite Morgana lipstick is probably Ice Queen, but I wasn't able to get a full tube before she stopped selling it :/ Serenity is my second favorite, followed by Lillian. I love me some blue-toned lipsticks.

  8. Robyn, Serena, and Jennifer: I KNOW! It's freakin' awesome and smells just like a candy cane I love it. When spring comes around, a flowery nature-y photoshoot will ensue.

    Peach: Me too! Morgana (Melissa) is a lipstick queen.

    Mai: Thanks lady! Yeah they're a bit unwearable (the green one at least) but I couldn't resist, especially for just $5.

    Jade: I have a bunch too, nine I think, though some of them are the lip pots. Shrieking Orange does look awesome!

    Teaspoon: I knowww I've just been so self-conscious about it ever since I went to get my teeth cleaned and my dentist said "You want us to fix that? That would bother me so much." haha
    I'll put Lillian on my list! I'm also all about some cool-toned lipsticks too, I have Serenity and it's gorgeous.
