I decided to swatch all of my Medusa’s Makeup eye dusts and pressed eye shadows for you. Unfortunately I didn’t have any sun by the time I was finished.

Cupcake is a lighter pink than Pretty in Pink. Flamingo is a lighter pink with purple iridescence, where as Pink Cadillac is a deeper pink than Flamingo, closer to a fuschia, with purple reflect. Purple Rain is darker than Fascination.

I have also purchased 2 of the lip glosses:
Gossip – iridescent violet pink with cherry flavor
Sparkle Mania – clear glitter with vanilla flavor

and received the following for free:

I really like both of the glosses, especially Sparkle Mania, as it’s great for layering.

Customer Service:
They ship fast, respond to emails and answer their phone. These are all good things. When I had a problem with an order, they immediately corrected it by sending out my missing product. They even included a free clear lip gloss, which was unexpected, but nice. They often include stickers and other information with their packages.

When I asked them if they made their own products or repackaged, here was their answer:
The majority of our products, eye dust, glitter, body shimmer/blush, lip gloss are all made in our Chicago facility.
