Geek Chic Cosmetics Strange Aeons Collection Review and Swatches

I love the Lovecraft Mythos. I think I’ve read at least 3 or 4 different compilations during high school, and again in college, and again when I worked for the game company. The mythos has always intrigued, scared and delighted me. I’ve even seen some of the really bad movies based on the mythos, like Dagon. I’ve played on a MUD with heavy Lovecraft influences. And I’ve played the tabletop role-playing game based on it, Call of Cthulhu. Allow me introduce you to the newest collection from Geek Chic Cosmetics – Strange Aeons. All of the shades in this collection are vegan and cruelty-free. I swatched these on bare skin with no primer.

That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.

The entire sparkly collection together!

You have found your way here, because you are among the few gifted with true vision in a world cursed with blindness.

Antequarian
My Take

Blasphemous
My Take

This is such a lovely Halloween collection! Perfect for Fall, too, as it has almost all my favorite shades for this time of year. It has an aged gold, a teal-blue, an olive green, a glowing copper, a rich wine, unique silver, and semi-sheer multi-sparkle black. If Daemoniac were a deeper purple, it would be perfect!

Madness has brought you here to me. I shall be your undoing!

The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents… some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age.

Those who oppose him will be destroyed utterly, and those who serve — who serve wholly, unquestioningly, with utter devotion of mind and soul — elevated to heights beyond your ken.

I have seen the dark universe yawning, where the black planets roll without aim, where they roll in their horror unheeded,
Without knowledge, or lustre, or name.

At night, when the objective world has slunk back into its cavern and left dreamers to their own, there come inspirations and capabilities impossible at any less magical and quiet hour. No one knows whether or not he is a writer unless he has tried writing at night.

I believe that Geek Chic Cosmetics will have the Strange Aeons Collection available for purchase on October 1, 2012.

The shadows individually will most likely cost $5.99.

Most of the quotes are from HP Lovecraft, but I threw in a few others that are favorites of mine.

You can expect to see some looks from me with this collection soon. What do you think of it? Which shades are your favorite?
