3/8/2016: Eyeshadow NOT vegan, lipsticks are vegan
I love brightly colored lipsticks, so I nearly died when I came across Impulse Cosmetics. Many lipsticks in different finishes, odd colors, cheap pricing, great customer service. This is my first purchase from Impulse, but certainly not my last.

Circus is a beautiful color, but unfortunately it's not what I was expecting.

This is the picture from Impulse's website, but if you look at my swatch below you can see that they are not the same.

It's still a gorgeous color, but I really would've wanted exactly what the color in the picture looks like.

I became enamored with Melt Cosmetics' Blow recently, but it's always sold out and too much money. Lobotomy seemed like an alright dupe, and if not it was just a great color on its own.
Like Circus, this color isn't identical to the picture on Impulse's website but this one is at least very similar. With this one you could chalk the color change up to different lighting and camera qualities.

| Loose Eyeshadow in Pick Your Poison |
This is the only product that looks exactly like it does on the website. I do prefer pressed eyeshadows to loose, but I'll make an exception for indie companies.

I am slightly disappointed about the lipsticks not being identical to the colors on the website, but it won't dissuade me from buying more from Impulse.
