Comet Vomit - Swatches & Review

Comet Vomit is one of the little-known indie stores; I only found out about it through its owner, whom I got to know on a subreddit last summer. /u/marsandtherealgirl did primarily nail polishes, and I won one in a giveaway last summer that I get compliments on ALL THE TIME. She announced a few weeks ago she was expanding her shop, and with a little disposable income after graduation, I decided to try some of her new products!

Most of Comet Vomit's nail polishes cost $10 for .5 oz. .5 oz is a standard size for nail polish; OPI, Essie, etc. all do that size of a bottle. Comet Vomit is thus a little bit more expensive than that. Her mini nail polishes are $4 for 1/3 of that, or about .16 oz. Eyeshadows are $5 apiece. Lip balms are $1 for a mini tub and $3 for a tube. On to what I got!



Big Balm Theory Flavored Lip Balm in Cherry
I opted for a tub rather than a tube, though both are cheap! I like the lip balm a lot. To me it's not quite maraschino cherry as she describes but darker, almost like a dark chocolate cherry. It smells amazing! The first time it went on very smooth. It was  little harder the second time. I'm 99% sure I closed it tightly, but it may have been user error. It's still easy to put on, just requires a little bit more rubbing to get some on my finger. I will be purchasing a full size of this at some point.

Behold my awful nails.
Nail Polish in Terek Noir
Again, I went for the mini, as is my tendency. Terek Noir is a matte black with silver sparkle - I don't know if you can have matte sparkle, but, there ya go. It took three thin coats to get to the desired opacity for me, which isn't bad. I like the formula and it dries REALLY quickly, which is always a plus! However, I'm not sure I'm in love with it. We'll see.


Eyeshadow in Light Years and Some Kind of God
These were the two shades I wanted to try most off of the website - I like the names & I like the colors. Of the two, I definitely like "Some Kind of God" more; it's right up my alley. Both shades were easy to work with and had a good formula.
Awful swatching oh god
Overal - I like Comet Vomit. I'm glad I have Some Kind of God, but I think I'll probably stick to lip balms and nail polishes for a bit. There are definitely a few of those I have my eye on!
