Dark Heart Design Review Part 1!!

I was like a little girl during Christmas when my package from Dark Heart Designs came in with my 35+ samples. So i am doing the review in 3 parts because there is so many! So here is the first part of my Dark Heart Design Review. 

Ultraviolet is a pretty violet color that is almost electric. It is absolutely gorgeous. 
Siren's Song is a pretty light teal color that was slightly muted. but you have to remember i dont use primer when i do my swatches. I only use primer when i put them on my eyes. 
Moonchild is a nice silver color that has alot of shine it. Another go-to shadow =]
Dirty is a darker silver that is almost a gray.  It is a glitter-matte shadow. Another go-to shadow =]=]
Rave is an electric blue shadow. Which i am absolutely in love with. looooovvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeee. =]

Absinthe is somewhat cut off but it is a lovely green color which is a little dark. 
Wine Red is more of a pinkie color that looks nice on my awkward skin tone.
Coral Fang is a pretty peach color that i would love to be a lipstick right now. Idk i've had this sudden obsession for wanting grey nail polish and wanted coral/orange lipstick. If you have any ideas where to get any of this let me know!!!
Charmed is a bright purple color that makes me really smile. Since purple is my favorite color i love bright purple everything. lol.
Clean Slate is def another go-to color. this is more of a matte then the other shades i've seen. I love it. 

Vampire Heart is a electric pinkie red color which made my eyes open a ton. This was so bright after such a small amount of shadow used a almost screamed in excitement. 
Surrender is a really nice purple color with purple sparklies in it. Its like a grape color. which i looovvve!
Tequila Sunrise is absoluely amazing! its a pure bright orangey yellow that sparkles gorgeously. 
Twisted Metal is a blueish gray with purple and blue sparkles that made me smile a lot. Go-to for sure. 

My favorites for this set are Rave, Coral Fang, Charmed, Vampire Heart, Tequila Sunrise and Surrender. So far i love them all =]. 
Part 2 will be coming up soon! so stay tuned

Love,

Shiro Cosmetics Review!

I finally got all my Shiro Cosmetics Samples and I am extremely pleased! First off, the names made me smile to no end. I love pokemon and Legend of Zelda =]. I still play pokemon blue in my spare time. Also the colors in the bags (with a very decent amount of product) were very vibrant and pretty. And even without primer underneath them, they were still pretty vibrant on my weird skin. From the Legends collection I ordered Veran, Majora's mask, Rupee, Zora, and Hearts. Then from the Super Effective collection ordered Gyarados, Magneton, Poliwrath, Charmander, and Gengar. I also got Midna and Ganandorf free from the Legends collection


Midna is a very pretty gray shade with some sparklies. I love gray shades since i mostly wear black to school gray always makes a nice quick go-to on those "i'm late to school mornings." This will def be my new go-to shade.
Hearts is a pretty pretty orange-red shade which actually looks nice with my crazy skin. It is very bright which i love.
Majora's Mask is a purple/blue color but its more purple than the picture shows it as. It definitely makes a good base color for some ideas i have in my head.
Rupee is a beautiful light/lime green shade that makes me happy. I've always wanted a lime green shadow for some reason.
Gyarados is my favorite so far. Remember i'm a total sucker for blue shadows. Gyarados is so bright that i was like "woah this is amazing!!!" right after i applied it.
Charmander is a lovely orange/yellow color which i am adoring atm. I have been savaging the internet looking for an orange lipstick to wear since my skin color is so weird it would prolly work on me (if anyone has any ideas where to get one let me know asap!!!!!)
Ganandorf was a little tricky to apply but it is a really dark purple/red color. Almost a plum. It has really pretty sparkles and This will def be my other go-to shadow. 
Magneton surprised me! In the bag it looks like Midna but it is a more sheer sparkle than a pigmented gray. I actually love this to death. This I might use as a highligher for a smokey eye or just to add some sparkle to a look. 
Zora is another gorgeous blue which made me smile. Zora has alot more sparkle than Gyarados. It is also i lighterish shade. 

Gengar is a black/purple shade with some dark sparkles. This picture makes it look like its a matte. but its a glitter-matte hehe =] 
Poliwrath is amazing! its a light navy? color that would look pretty wit Zora. 
Veran is a navy shadow with blue and purple sparkles. This one is really pretty. This one is my second favorite. 

Overall
I really love Shiro Cosmetics. My one problem would be that some of the shadows I had a tough time applying. But other than that they are gorgeous ( i love that word) But I will def order from her again as soon as i get my christmas money =] I am dying to get my hands on the Kawaiishadow set! I also cant wait to make tons of looks with these! Everyone should go check them out. Im serious.

Love,
T
P.S. I am a very busy girl this week so some posts might be delayed and i have one more review to do which i will do this weekend. This is hell week for me. I have 2 concerts (one is tomorro and the second one is friday) with after school rehersals to boot.  I also have a project and 2 papers due by thursday. So please dont lose hope if I dont post for a few days. I will try tho. I will still take photos of my daily looks and load em when i can. 
P.P.S. Oreos and coffee are tastey. Until i dropped half and oreo into the coffee...oopsie.

Portal look =]

I have an epic portal shirt that i got at Teefury awhile ago, and when i got the portal shadows from Geek Chic Cosmetics, i knew what i had to do. 
Make a portal look!!!
Things i used:
Primer: UDPP
Shadows: Geek Chic Cosmetics in Portal Orange and Portal Blue
Eyeliner: Essence Crystal Eyeliner in Dazzling Silver (just added some sparkles which u cant really see)
Mascara: Essence Multi Action False Lashes Mascara
Blush: Ella Rose Minerals Luminous Blush in Wild Rose

Geek Chic Cosmetics Review!!!

Oh my goodness I think I'm in love (well i already am [with someone special to me] but now with another cosmetics company!). Geek Chic Cosmetics instantly caught my eye the moment I spotted them! The name of the colors and how nerdy I am forced me to sample some of them. I ordered Stay Indoors, Frakkin' Toaster, Portal Blue, and Portal Orange and got Chosen One for free! Right off the bat i see the bright colors like the bags in really large portions! And the shadows go on so perfectly i barely used any to cover my whole eye.


 Chosen One is this super pretty green that i love so much! It matches this one shirt i own perfectly!
Stay Indoors surprised me. Even tho it looks like its black, when paired with a blue eyeshadow (like i did todaii) it added a gorgeous sparkle and almost a darker tint of blue rather than going on as a straight black. This one is definitely my favorite one.
Frakkin' Toaster makes me lol. because of the Battlestar Galactica joke =]. But its like a blueish gray that is rather beautiful.
When i saw these I had to order them. I am a HUGE Portal fan. I still miss my companion cube. But these are absolutely amazing! I will most likely wear one color on each eye and be weird like that. I know no one will understand but thats okay. 

Overall i am IN LOVE with Geek Chic Cosmetics. When i get more money (one week from now) I am definitely going to buy a ton more. Definitely buy from Geek Chic Cosmetics even if you aren't a nerd. You will still fall in love with the colors just like i did. 
Love,
T
