Fog, Scoria & Phloof! EOTD

Hi gals!

Today I wanted to try one of my new Jenulence matte sample shadows as well as the foundation and one of the blushes that I also ordered at the same time. I've never been into matte shadows before, but I seem to like them better the older I get. I get older?!? WTF? No freakin' way! :)
Anyway; I love the texture of this shadow. When attempting to use matte shadows in the past, I often felt they were hard to apply well; they crumbled easily and/or were a PITA to distribute evenly. This is not the case here however; this one applied like a dream, I'm really impressed!

  • Fog - dark grayish-green
  • Scoria - dark blue green with glimmery lemon and lime highlights
  • Phloof! - Frosted off-white (Frost)

My Jenulence Haul Arrived today :)

Look what was in the mailbox today; a package from Jenulence!

I ordered mostly samples; but they had a special offer going on where I could pick a 5 gram foundation jar for free, I like those offers :)
I have ordered from Jenulence once before, and I was very impressed with their foundation and the matte eye shadows. I've never been a matte shadow fan before, but I really liked these, so I ordered a few more samples in other colors. I also ordered a few shimmer and sparkle shadows, a bronzer and of course some blushes. (I have a problem with lipsticks and blushes; I can't seem to stay away from them :>)

Here they are:






This is a little bit darker than the pic shows...
