Chinovi Cosmetics

I have decaf coffee this time. =] So today/tonight, while watching Iron Chef, I am here to show you an amazing new company that is like...AWESOMESAUCEYBALLS. (that is soooo a word). Chinovi Cosmetics made their launch only a few days back but I was lucky to score some samples before they opened. Even though I didn't blog them =/ Oopsie XD. One thing I must admit is that these colors are gorgeous and their website is awesome! Can I just say now that I will be definitely be purchasing again. No doubts there. 

Pricing - Sample baggie - $1

             Sample clamshell - $1.25

             Full size w/o Sifter - $4.75

             Full size w/ Sifter - $5

Shadow Amounts - Samples - 1/4 tsp

                             Full Sizes - approx. 1.2 g

Extras - 1 sample

PICTURE TIME~~all these were swatched on my plain skin in the pretty, but harmful to my paleness, sunlight

As you can see the ingredients are right there on the label. Nice. 

Hiccup is a nice red/orangey color with golden sparklies. It is almost like a neutral but not. 

Tears is a blue verging on mint that is just so gorgeous. It also have some awesome silver qualities. 

Monster is a blue/purple duochrome that doesn't branch into blurple territory. Even though I love blurples this is just awesome. 

This right here, is a gorgeous forest green/teal-y color that has some gold sparklies.

Excuse me...OMG THIS COLOR. I am in love. Absolutely in love. It is a silvery-blue with a slight green shift. 

This is another dark green/teal-y color that is awesome. 

Rave is a bright purple with pink sparklies in it. Not a color I would normally go for but it is really pretty. 

Troll is the opposite of an actual troll. It is a super pastel lilac with some blue sparklies. 

Finally, Rock on is a deep teal color that has a slight green shift. 

So, if you haven't already, go buy some things! Also these colors are so smooth and easy to apply. I am going to buy more eventually (when money allows). Now I have a caffeine-withdrawal headache and must say ado. Also I must wash my face with my black magic soaps =] I will be writing my first Rant and Rave post sometime this week. There will be lots to say. Ado~~.

Black Rose Minerals Luna Collex!

How do I do this whole bloggie thing, again? Rant about stuff? Cause some dramatic scene, call some ppl out and make up lies? OOOOHHH, okay. Wait, that is what blogs are? Well then I have a totally different definition. I think I write some stuff show some pictures and that's that, right? Yay!! Well, today I have some amazing colors from the amazingly talented Black Rose Minerals. I bought this collection awhile back and then kinda just stopped blogging. Oops, my bad. But these colors, are to die for (not literally, please no one turn into zombies). I would consider these shades more on the put-these-over-things-to-make-them-look-epic since these are sheer (without primer of course) but offer gorgeous shifts! These shades are the Luna Collex, made for the equally lovely Luna.

Price - Sample Jars - $2.50 ea. or $10 for all 4
           Full Size - $6 ea or $20 for all 4
          Shipping - $1.75 domestic

Shadow - about 1g? (maybe more)

Extras - 1+ samples


These were all swatched without primer and in some pretty bad light XD. The sun hates me.

I am diggin' the labels. They look awesome!

This is a gorgeous semi-sheer white with blue shift and sparkles!

Blood Moon is even sheer-er and has a purple shift with some pink sparkles in there. I absolutely adore this one.

Luna has a really awesome silver-blue shift that is really dramatic (there's the drama for this post)

This is I think the coolest color. It starts out as a darker greenish sheer color and shifts to gold and has purple sparkles! SO MUCH AWESOME!

Thriteen is a awesome purple verging blurple with a blue shift and red and silver sparklies. 

SO MANY PRETTY THINGS! I drank a lot of coffee. Also I am listening to my fav song right now. PORK AND BEANS! Posting video....

Yus. Now excuse me while I blast this some throughout my house and sing and act like a total looser.

Methulsela - is a silvery purple with holo sparklies. It is gorgeous!

Tick: Tock Cosmetics is a fairly new company but has tons of ideas! I have mostly full sizes of all the swatched colors and I just ordered more =P. I adore their colors and this company.

Dark Crystal - is a dark plum/grey with pink and silver sparklies. I adore this color. 

Lucy in the Sky - is a greyed out blue with a gold shift and some silver and pink sparklies. I love this color.

Taupe a la Mode - is a taupe with a gold shift and multi-colored sparklies. This was the GWP I got with my second order. 

Cheap Trick - was the custom made lippie for me! It is a lilac with a extremely noticeable light blue shift. The gloss is so smooth and wonderful. Also, after the gloss wears away, it leaves a light pink color with a still noticeable blue shift. 

Darling Girl Cosmetics is an ever growing company that is always adding new products and always motivated to improve. Bit I don't see anything to improve here =]. Susan also has a really awesome collection coming out called Darling Grrl based off of amazing bands. I am extremely excited for this collection and will be purchasing some for sure.

Silent Night - is a beautiful dark blue shadow with light blue sparklies. 

Chione - is a new absolutely gorgeous product. These can be used not only on the eyes, but on your face! Chione is a white with an intense blue/purple shift with some pink and purple sparklies.

Ceres - is a white with an amazing green shift and some green sparklies.

OMG. I love these so much! These are just so gorgeous. Victoria has outdone herself here. Truly. There are also some Persephone Minerals samples in my giveaway! =]
