Shiro Cosmetics Swatches

One of my lovely facebook friends recently sent me a package full of many indie prettys. Among some of these prettys, where some shiro cosmetics samples. I have heard lots of great things about Shiro Cosmetics, but have yet to try them. I have also heard that her sample baggies are the best. I personally love clamshells so I was like there is no way her baggies could be better than clamshells. And yet again I have been proven wrong. The baggies that these come in, are so stinking cute and small. They do hold a lot of pigment in them! Although I got colors that I really wont use, I itleast got to see how amazing these pigments where. I didn't take photos of the pigments in the baggies. There would be to much of a glare with it.

Dark Sacrifice: A beautiful navy/royal blue colored pigment. I may actually have to purchase a mini jar of this color. When I first saw this color I was like I am not going to like it. Through the baggie, it looked like a black eyeshadow. But low and behold its blue. Such a sweet surprise.

Epona:  A light Chocolate brown colored pigment. This pigments would actually work with filling in my brows, however I am still learning how to do that.

Beyond the Fence: A olive green with gold flecks to it. Again not sure if I will end up using this pigment. It is a beautiful color. Just not for me.

Star Crossed:  a Chocolate brown with lots of shimmer and sparkle. I actually kind of like this one. We will see what I can create with this beautiful color.

Detective: A green/silver based pigment. This color could be used as a liner. It would be a beautiful liner color.

 Mistrust: A rusty looking brown. This color looked like a matte in the baggie, however didn't apply like a matte. I will not use this color at all. I know my mother would which is great news for her.

Triforce: A beautiful gold colored pigments. This pigments has a lot of sparkle to it, which I love. This would be a pretty color to use in/around the tearduck part of your eye and to use as a liner.

 

I cant really give my normal rating to these samples as they where gifts from a friend. I will say that these products are amazing, easy to work with and blend. I will be purchasing in the future and will be doing more reviews and swatches of shiro cosmetics.

Virus Insanity Mini Haul

Hello Lovelies, Welcome back.

So recently I have been hooked on Virus insanity's eyeshadow. They are so richly pigmented, and easy to work with. Why wouldn't anyone love them. I know that some people, I was one of them at first, complain about the amounts of eyeshadows being smaller. But if you have never worked with loose shadows, then you don't know how little product you have to use. I notice with Virus Insanity that, I use less then I do with other indie companies. I cant remember if I have mentioned this before, but Virus Insanity does a lot of sales. I personally love the free shipping sales. It saves me $5.00 an order.  I ended up getting 8 clamshells this time. I also recieved a free jar of Becca Ecca due to Jenny being a little late cause of the huge snow storm that her state had. Can you believe that she has already gotten snow in October. Are you ready to see what I got?

Lafayette

VI: a purple with iridescence, that shift from teal to blue to violet.

BYEB: a Light purple that changes to blue.

This color would be a great highlight and blending color. I love this color a lot, so much that I may throw out the $6.50 to get it lol

You can purchase this color here:  http://www.virusinsanity.com/#!__virus-insanity2/vstc8=purples-duo/productsstackergalleryv225=7

 Flip Flops

Foolish

VI: Foolish is a teal that with iridescence that shift from blue to reddish to lilac

Madd Cat Monthly October 2013

Its that time of month again. All of my monthly subscriptions are rolling in my po box! I recently received my Madd Cat Monthly from Madd Style Cosmetics! Boy, did I love this one! I was literally having a mini heart attack when I was doing swatches of the beautiful colors. I really loved everything out of this bag. Mo deserves a A+++++ for this bag. Are you ready to see what I got? Sorry in advance for the primer showing a little, I am experimenting with new swatching techniques.

 

Great and Powerful

This is a beautiful green toned blackish colored pigment. I think that this was part of an old collection, I am not sure, but it isn't listed on the website for purchase.

 Sparrow:

This is a very vibrant blue with lots of shimmer and sparkle! This color took my breath away! I was not expecting it to be this bright. I am a sucker for blue. This one is also not for sale on the website. I don't know if it will become for sale or not.

Trick or Treat:

This is a grayish/black with orange sparkles to it. I love this and for some reason I couldn't get the  photo to come out just right. (darn cheap camera). Also this one is not for sale on the website.

Great and Powerful

madd style cosmetics subscribtion box Septemeber 2013

Hello Lovelies,

I recently received my first month of Madd Style Cosmetics Monthly subscription. This box is $12 dollars a month. You get 1 full size eye shadow that you can only get in this box. You get one item from their current line. You also get at lease two deluxe samples. There are chances to get more than what is list, whoever you are guaranteed it least all of the following things that I just listed. I liked most of the items that I received in my box this month.
Here is what I received:
5grm jar of Book of Spoilers
5 grm jar of Bluegrass
Mini sample of a perfume
Deluxe shadow sample of Ever After
Deluxe shadow sample of Raven Feathers

 

 

Blue Grass: a mossy green with shimmer. This is a beautiful color and a great darker green.

 

 

 

Book of Spoilers: a sky blue matte. If you have ready past post you know that I absoultly hate mattes with a passion.

Here are all the colors that I got. They are swatched over NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk. This photo is taken with flash.

 

I have to say this subscribtion was ok I am going to stay with it for a while unless I get let down a lot. I cant complain too much because the value of the items I got are more than the bag is worth. I can always trade items with others when I get something I don't like. I will say that the perfume was awesome. It reminded of what lube smells like, and honestly I really don't want to smell like that!

Maybe it was my interpretation of the colors.  I have to say that my favorite colors out of this bunch would be I am in pain and the invisible man. They are beautiful colors.

Sleek Makeup Featuring I-Dust

Hello Lovelies and welcome back.

So, I recently purchased from Sleek Makeup, its located in London. Sleek are know for their palletes. I personally own the Sleek Acid palette. Even though I have the sleek acid palette I have never purchased from them. The palette was a gift. I placed a order on the 29th of August and recieved it September 10th. That is very fast shipping for something being in another country. Each of their I-Dust are 3.99. They are packaged in 6.5 gram jars with a sifter. I was very pleased and excited to find out that, that the shipping from London to Kansas was only $2.45. That is very cheap compared to some of the US prices. OK, on to the pigments themselves.

I- Dust pigment in breathless. This pigment is a very pretty blue with almost a green tone to it when you look at it in certain light. I am very glad that I purchased this color cause as its name it is very breathless. Good job sleek on this one :)

I-Dust pigment in So Sleek. This a pink fuchsia colored pigment with lots of sparkle to it.

 



I-Dust pigment in sunfest. I don't know what to say about this one. I think that this one was a matte but since the describition didn't say anything about each of the different color I didn't know that until I tried it out. I think maybe it I add some shimmer to it I may like it. This is a very bright and vivid yellow.

I really love sleeks packaging. Here is a photo of what the pigments look like in their jars.

Each swatch was taken over NYX jumbo pencil in Milk and taken with flash.

Each of the pigments here where taken over bare skin. If you have never understood or tried  primer, this and the previous photo shows you how much primer changes what a pigment looks like. You don't have to spend a lot on primer. When I started using primer I just used some cheap clear lipstick, that didn't cost much.

Hope that you enjoyed this little post on sleek

as always

Birchbox September 2013

Hello lovelies,

I recently got my 2nd month of Birchbox in my mailbox. Woohoo right?

I have been receiving Birchbox's off and on for the back 2 years. I tend to get very bored with Birchbox in a few months. My first month I signed up in the middle of the month and had received it the 22nd. The box I received was smashed completely, which everything inside was ruined. Birchbox did replace the box but I got it in September and that is why i didn't do a post on August's Birchbox. One thing that I like about Birchbox than Ipsy, Birchbox has better shipping time and gets to your door faster than Ipsy. I will say I love almost everything in this months package! Are you ready for a peak?

Ruffian Nail Polish.

This polish is a douchrome olive green polish. I really don't paint my nails cause I suck at it, however the size and packaging of it, is so cute.

The full size collection with contains three colors in this size is $24.00 and can be purchased at the link below. Since this is in this months box the shipping is free!

Link to purchase: http://www.birchbox.com/shop/september-2013-box/ruffian-nail-set-crowdsourced

Coastal Scents Day to Night mini sampler. I absolutely love getting samples from coastal scents. I have a total of like 6 different ones of these and love them. Out of the 4 colors I am loving the two top browns. Shocking right? They would be great for linner and inner corner colors.

The normal retail price for their pallete that contains these 4 beautiful colors is $39.00. Yikes, but don't worry that also includes three makeup brushes. Again with this item you will receive free shipping cause this is in Septembers box.

Link to purchase: http://www.birchbox.com/shop/coastal-scents-mirage-eyeshadow-palette

Caudalie makeup remover/cleansing water. I am really excited to try this out. I haven't tried a lot of face wash. I have my dedicated makeup remover and I find it stupid to spend a lot of money on this when I can get good remover for cheaper. however the fullsize bottle of this really isn't to bad of a price.

Link to purchase: http://www.birchbox.com/shop/september-2013-box/caudalie-cleansing-water-100ml

Last but not least. Amika Blow up Spray. This is for all hair types, which will be nice. I have very dried out brittle hair. This will give your hair more volume to it when you blow dry your hair. I don't usually blow dry my hair, but it will be a great Christmas gift to give my mother.

 

That's a wrap for today! Please look tomorrow for a new post!

As always

XoXo
