What are your favorite releases from 205 (so far)?

This is my first year getting into indies, so you can imagine how excited I am with all my purchases! The only releases I've participated in so far are Autumn releases, and I love everything, even though I'm from Australia and it's currently spring here! My purchases so far and thoughts on them (they're not necessarily items from recent releases):

  • Fyrinnae: My first indie purchase! I had to grab myself Pixie Epoxy and a bunch of eyeshadows. I absolutely love Rapunzel Had Extensions and Mephisto out of the eyeshadows I've tried from them. Runner ups would be Serendipity and Capybara.

  • Eccentric Cosmetics: even more eyeshadows! I love False Astronomy and Divine Innocence. Also can't get enough of their High Intensity Primer

  • Life's Entropy: I bought from their birthday sale an eyeshadow (Exorcism, a beautiful purple-y/green duochrome) and their brow theories are awesome.

  • Minimint palettes. Cheap, beautiful alternatives to Z magnetic palettes. I bought quite a few to store my pressed shadows and they do just the job!

  • KaeQ lipsticks, especially their matte/satin formulas. I LOVE Sea Grape, Herbology, Mulberry, Mango... Basically colours close to my lip colour and the darker/bolder reds. :P

  • I've gotten into perfumes pretty recently (1-2 months now), and I love a lot of the perfumes so I can't list them all out! Love gourmands, florals, fruits, some atmospheric and aquatic scents. Specific brands would be Haus of Gloi (Golden Corn Cakes, Ghost Puffs, Spider Silk, Pumpkin Eater, all their gourmands I've tried tbh), Sixteen92 (Boardwalk, Blood and Honey, Southern Gothic), Darling Clandestine (Tapadero, Harpy), Alkemia (Midnight Garden), Smelly Yeti (only tried Not the Bees so far but it's one of my top favourites), Ten Three Labs (Marshmallow Massacre is the only one I've tried so far but I love it) and Solstice Scents (White Fox so far). Probably a few others I can't remember off the top of my head but I'm well and truly down the indie perfume rabbit hole. :P
