This company has been on my want list for awhile. After reading some reviews I decided to go to the site and place an order. Venomous Cosmetics has their own independent site and is easy to navigate. Each set of products has their own section , i.e. loose powder, loose powder samples, lip poisons. They also have many other products to come in the future VC also has the coolest names for their shadows and they also have collections! I went ahead and chose my colors. I paid via paypal!
Shipping and packaging:I place my order on May 4th and on May 6th I had a conformation and a tracking number. On May 9th I got my package! 5 days from ordering to delivery!! Outstanding!!! My products came in a flat box. All items were VERY securely wrapped, and when I say securely.. I mean securely. Each of the items came wrapped in bubble wrap and the bubblewrap was taped. There was no way anything was getting ruined! Also came with 2 free loose powder samples! Shipping was $4.95
The Products:
Full Size Powders are- $6.50 for a 5 gram jar wit sifter
Sample Powders are- $1.00 for 1/8 teaspoon
Full size Pressed are- $6.50 for 26 mm refill pan
Sample pressed are- $ 2.00 for a 15 mm pan
Lip Poisons are- $5.00 for a 5.9 ml tube
Lip Poison purse size are- $3.50 for 3.7 ml tube
Anywhere palette- $5.50
I think this is cute. I haven't seen an indie company do this.. Now I am sure others do but I haven't seen it . I also love the fact they have pressed samples!!
Loose Powder- Each loose powder comes in a baggies with the name and ingredients on it!

Fairy- "Purple toned pink"
I LOVE THIS color! I have worn it a lot and it looks fab!! Its non sticky and last a bit. Honestly I'm a smoker so I can't really judge on hour wise how long it stays. It has a nice peppermint smell and taste .. ( not that I'm eating my gloss but .. Oh you know what I mean lol)
