Rock A Betty Beauty Review!!!

Earlier this week i received my order from Rock A Betty Beauty. I ordered the Blogger Special which was 5 e/s samples and one Pinup Powder. Now, you don't get to chose your e/s or your powder but i really love the colors i got! In my package, which was wrapped in a popcorn bag (HOW ADORABLE!), i received their new Suck it up! Oil Absorbing Powder (which I am wearing now and will talk about in the end).  they sell their shadows in  3g jars. Their 3g jars sell for $3.99 and shipping is $2.99. They also sell primer, scents, lippies, and also have tons of pretty collections coming out monthly. Everything was nicely labeled and the baggies were nicely sized with a decent amount of sample e/s. I feel that you should receive more of the Pinup Powder in the sample since it is a face product. 

Onto the Review!! 
*no primer is used*




Potty Mouth - is a glitter-matte! Its a black matte with silver glitter. At first i was like, o joy...another black matte for my collection...but then i saw the silver glitter and was very happy with is color!
Snuff - is a really pretty sky blue color with some silver accents to it. It has a very pretty silver shimmer to it. 


Six Feet Under - is a really nice dark brown color with some silver sparkles which came as a surprise to me. You don't see too many neutral shadows with sparkles in them. I liked that a lot. Some glam in the neutral. 


Floozy - is a bright purple grape color with some really pretty multi colored shimmer to it. Its my favorite Grape lollipop color! 
Shrapnel - is a rusty red velvet cupcake color with some gold accents to it. It had a gold shine to it which i liked. 


I received the Pinup Glow. This is a very pale beige powder with a multi colored shimmer and some gold accents to it. I think this goes really nicely with my complexion. I think i will wear it for my Graduation Party to add some shine. 


Suck it Up! - okay, I've been wearing this for....4 hours now. And i can finally feel oil breaking through. Here is what is working against it.
1. I am sick.
2. I have extremely oily skin
3. i ate spicy food for dinner
Now i put some of this on my forehead and my nose and chin. My nose wore away after and hour because i wear glasses and oil appears there within minutes. My forehead, oil appeared within 3.5 hours and my chin is yet to feel oily. I give this an A+ in my book! Also I am not wearing anything else on my skin. 

Overall I really like Rock A Betty Beauty. Her colors are pretty and have some surprises to them. I also like the names she uses the the ideas for her collections are cute. Give em a look!

Love,
T

Last few weeks!

I feel terrible for the lack of posting..ugh. But I'm doing well. I basically fractured my ankle and have been performing on stage all week. Also, its finals week for me. But i thought u'd like to see some progress of what I've been doing.  On Friday I performed in a concert and I decided to do a really simple but pretty makeup look for it. 
I used:
Dark Heart Designs Moonchild
MAC Carbon
UDPP in Sin
D.J.V Fiberwig Mascara
Sephora Mineral Foundation
Clinique Blended Face Powder in Transparency Neuteral
MAC Sheertone Shimmer Blush in Sunbasque
Hard Candy Fox in a Box Blush in Skinny Dipping (Peach Side)
Evil Shades Matte Silk













Now i didnt use and lip products. Why? because i had a whistling solo. and Its sometimes hard to whistle wit lip products on. 

And here is what it came down to. This is my Senior Solo. I had 5 solos that night. This was my main one. If i can find the other ones I'll post em too. =]

Love,

Evil Shades Swatches!!

So i was extremely excited when i was talking to the lovely EvilAngel from Evil Shades Cosmetics on twitter and we came up with the idea of a lovely lilac blush for spring/summer. When she told me it was done i was so excited i bought a full jar right away! Then I purchased a Deviant Lippie (my fav lippies ever!) in Fateful and a sample of Twizted, another blush. Then i received 2 free samples of eyeshadows in Potion and Athame.

*remember there is no primer*



Potion - is a nice yellow green color with some nice shine to it. 
Athame - is a really soft grey color that is almost white as my skin. 


Twizted - is a blue blush? Yes a blue blush. Its a dusty light blue with pink sparkles in it. It does not shift as much as I wish it would which makes this slightly unwearable. But i have worn it a few times and it does look pretty over a bronzer. 

Pouty - is the lilac blush i've been dreaming of! its a matte lilac that can go on nice and sheer or nice and powerful. I wear this almost every single day now. 



Fateful - this is the lippie i ordered cuz i've never owned a decent black lipstick. now the swatches may look bad because i has a lip gloss on and didnt take it off before i put the lipstick on...i know stupid mistake on my part lol. But it is a really amazing black lippie with a purple tint to it. I love this to death...too bad my bf wont let me kiss him when i wear it lol! 




So heres my swatches!!! hope you enjoyed them!!!

Love,
T

Psyche Minerals Review!

So awhile ago I ordered a full jar and some lovely samples from the absolutely gorgeous Psyche Minerals. Unfortunately the first package got lost in the mail but Molly was right on top and we communicated perfectly and she sent out another one within a day. Mistakes happen so i wasn't too upset by it. Now her store is on hiatus for another few weeks. But she usually has a COTW which is where i got my full jar and lots of samples. I ordered a full jar and one sample and i received two extra samples. Now, her jars don't have printed labels but i don't mind that too much. I feel like its more homey and more indie. I would pull up pricing for you but i don't want to get things wrong.

So, onto the review!

*no primer used*


Sea Monster - was the full jar i received and its lovely. Its a teal/green which shines gorgeously in the light. I absolutely adore this color. 
Slime - is a fantastic blue. its very bright and happy and i love it oh so much.
Battle Rex - is a very amazing light green that sparkles super bright. I don't think I'll be able to pick a favorite!
Zap Bird - is a blueish purple that has a fantastic shine. Yea, i can't pick a favorite.


Overall I am extremely impressed with Psyche Minerals. Her colors are gorgeous and different from a lot of the others i own. They are really smooth and buttery and its tough to chose a favorite. I will definitely be purchasing more colors soon! I suggest you take a look and pick out some samples and maybe a full jar. She is going through some reformulations at the moment so things might be a little slow. BUT her shadows are gorgeous and i love them. 

Love,

Shiro Cosmetics Science Collection SWATCHES!

So I ordered some of the newest collection by Shiro Cosmetics...THE SCIENCE COLLECTION! Based off my favorite videogame franchise Portal. I ordered 7 samples and got 2 extra but 1 was from the Science collection and the other was from the Super Effective collection. But since this is Science collection only I didn't include it.

Here is the swatchfest!!!

*no primer used*




Aperture Laboratories - is a nice pigmented grey with some really nice shimmer to it. 
Huge Success - is a less pigmented grey but has a lot more sparkle to it. 
Still Alive - is a really pretty light green color. I actually thought this was going to be a mint green but this is even prettier then i thought. 


Beta - is a gorgeous forest green color with lots and lots of shimmer. 
Because We Can - is a really nice bright punky pink color with silver sparklies in it. 
Wheeeeeee! - is an pinky orange color with gold sparklies in it. I love this color. One of my favs.


Thinking With Portals - is a nice bright orange with blue shimmer to it. I LOVE IT! This is tied for favorite with A Neat Gun.
A Neat Gun - is a bright blue with and orange shimmer. LOVE LOVE LOVE! Like i said its tied for favorite. 


My overall thoughts on the collection so far is that its absolutely fantastic! The colors are very true to the website description and they are very diverse and pretty. I suggest every picks up some samples and tries this collection as well as some of the others!!!

Love,

Antoinette's Revolution Cosmetics Review!!!

For awhile I impatiently waited for the opening of Antoinette's Revolution Cosmetics and when i heard they opened i rushed over to their shop and purchased tons of samples. =] Her samples came in the absolute most adorable packaging ive seen. Also, her Artfire is adorable. Its nice and colorful and nicely laid out. Her samples are $.75 a sample wit shipping being $2 (US) then her full sized jars are $5 with $2 shipping. Now i love the labels on the sample baggies and the baggies are perfect for the price. Her package came promptly and she is fantastic at communicating. So, lets move onto the review!!!

Dupioni - is an amazing amazing amazing blue. Its not a true blue its slightly lighter than it. which is why i love it. 
Dusty Rose - is one of my favorites of the bunch. Its a light pink with a gold feel to it. I wore this shadow todaii and it love it soo much! It has the most amazing shine to it!  


Damask - is a really pretty teal color with a darker sense to it. I really adore this color.
