Morgana Cryptoria Lippie swatches!

I'm still super busy with school but I finally finished swatching all the lipstick samples I bought from Morgana Cryptoria a while back and wanted to share!

So get ready for a massive amount of swatches below!

I took all these in sunlight with no flash and applied with a lip brush.


Violet Banana:
This one is gorgeous, you can't see it in the pictures but in real life the purple shift is very obvious and gorgeous!


Very Strawberry:
Pretty colour, I like this one :)


Twinkling Rubies:
I wish I had been able to capture the pretty red sparkles in this lippie, very pretty and not overly glittery just a nice light touch.


Tangerine Twist:
This is a nice light almost pastel orange but shimmery.



Shrieking Violet:
This one was a little difficult to apply and the colour isn't a favourite of mine.


Shifting Violet:
Now this is a gorgeous purple, I actually find it quite wearable and it was easy to apply.


Sangria:
I REALLY like this one, easy to apply and really work on me.


Roses & Violets:
This one is a very light pink with a bit of a violet shift, very pretty but a little too subtle for me personally.


Pumpkin Eater:
This one is gorgeous and very easy to apply, unfortunately it does not work with my skin tone at all.


Plumeria:
This one is my favourite! Very unique yet still subtle and wearable colour.

Otherworldly:
I really love this colour, my swatch does this lippie NO justice it is SO much prettier in person!


Lush:
I surprisingly really like this one, it was easy to apply and I actually love the pink stain it leaves behind.


Love Lies Bleeding:
Nice basic red, I like this one.


Licorice:
I know my swatch looks messy but I was trying to do these quickly, it actually applies evenly and very opaque. Finally found a black lippie I like!


Goldrush:
Oh my! I love this one! Another of my favourites! Such a nice bright gold, I must do a look with this and Sugarpill Goldiluxe


Gilded Lime:
I really like this green a lot, I wore it for St-Patty's day and I got compliments on it.


Gilded Cerise:
Very pretty pink and again I couldn't capture the pretty gold shift to it.


Fire in the sky:
As the name suggests this does have a fiery flash to it which is SO pretty!


Enchanted Sapphire:
This one was a little difficult to apply evenly, but it is a nice bold colour.


Enchanted Emerald:
I don't know why it looks so patchy in the picture since in person it looks even and very pretty.


Dianthus:
Pretty pink, I really like this one.


Azalea Blue:
Now this is my FAVOURITE! Look how plump and pretty it make my lips look compared to the other swatch pics! I NEED this in full size!


Amethyst:
This was my least favourite, it applied patchy and uneven I couldn't really get the colour to show up well.


I'm officially on the bandwagon of love for Morgana lippies!

To recap here are my top favorites:
Azalea Blue
Plumeria
Otherworldly
Sangria
Gold Rush
Fire in the Sky

I am missing a sample of 24 karat Pumpkin from my order but I didn't want to bother asking for a replacement for a 1$ sample, I may just mention it next time I make an order.

  1. Do you know, yours is the very first swatch of Goldrush I've seen ever? I've wanted a gold lipstick, but no swatches anywhere :/ This looks like a real nice shade, though.

  4. Man I hope she opens up lipstick samples soon because I've got more cravings to buy more from your swatches! I love how Roses & Violets looks on you

  5. Thanks for swatching, I don't think I would have considered Very Strawberry, but after seeing your swatches it's one I'd like to try!

  6. Wowowowowow! So many pretties! I loooove Tangerine Twist and Pumpking Eater, as well as Goldrush and Fire In The Skies! I had Shrieking Violet too and it's pretty poor, Melissa said she was reformulating it soon, which is cool as I like the colour a lot.

    I'd love to order more Morgana, but buying just 3 lippies takes me over the customs tax limit :(

  8. I love all the swatches you did! I especially like the gold and the greens.I have shrieking violet and I find it difficult to apply as well. I'm glad shifting violet is easier to apply. I'm totally buying a sample next time I buy from Morgana Cryptoria.

  9. @Sapiens, I have no other to compare to, but Goldrush is a gorgeous yellow gold lipstick. I also wanted a gold lippie and I find this one is perfect.

    @Justine, No problem :D

    @Sprite, Thank you :3 They really are awesome!

    @Mai, Yeah I think she got overwhelmed with people ordering so many of them! I think it'll be a perfect lippie if I get an office job this summer.

    @Heather, it's a very pretty pink!

    @Robyn, Yeah full sizes are pretty expensive, plus 7$ for shipping to Canada, then customs.

    @Peach, Plumeria is absolutely lovely!

    @Pixie, Shifting Violet is SO pretty, it can definitely replace Shrieking in my opinion.

  11. It did, took me a couple of weeks because I could only do a couple of swatches per day and I only did them when the sun was out.

  12. Lush looks really pretty on you! (Well compared against your skintone). It seems like such a hard colour to wear but looks really nice in your swatch :)
