Review: RMK - Ingenious W Powder Eyes 04 & Gloss Lips N EX-06


Hi Darlings!  Today I have two products from RMK, that I received from LookFantastic for review purposes.  They are from the company RMK, which has some of you may know are a Japanese brand, and it is their Ingenious W Powder Eyes in 04 (gray), and a Gloss Lips in N EX-06 (limited edition Gold).


The packages on these were a sleek silver box that has embossed lettering of "Take me.  Open Up.  Choose me."  I think this is totally eye catching as you walk down the aisle looking at the makeup.  If something told me to choose them I'll stop, look, and wonder why I should do so.

Review: Star Crushed Minerals Eyeshadow in Orbit, Teal, Orchid, Electric Blue, & Starry Night

I have some wonderful loose eyeshadows from my girl Edith's all natural mineral shop, Star Crushed Minerals, to share with you.  I noticed she was having a sale for the ENTIRE month of May at 50% off everything in the shop.  She then contacted me giving me an extra discount over it.  Seriously Edith is one of the most kindest owners I know out there!  So I ended up picking five eyeshadow samples that caught my eye the most.


The little yellow tabs you see are part of the sealers for the sifters.  All of her jars come with a sifter, even the samples.  Which I absolutely love since it is way better than getting some small plastic bag of it.  The samples hold 1g of products.  While the full size carries 2.5g.

Review: Sleek Makeup i-Divine Ultra Matte V.1 Brights Palette

Today's review is a palette I came to learn to love.  I had it ever since Christmas, which was given to me by my hubs.  He knew for awhile I wanted this palette, but never bought it.  Sleek Makeup i-Divine Ultra Matte V.1 Bright Palette is not your average sort of palette.  This is a very colorful palette that might be intimidating to those not use to dealing with colors for eyeshadow.

Sleek Makeup claims that: Ultra Matte is intensely creamy, highly pigmented colors that are super blendable.  These mineral-based eyeshadows are so smooth in texture that they are ideal for contouring eyes and creating multi-dimensional looks.

Review: CUICU Flashing Diamond Single Eyeshadow - Coral Orange & Eggplant Purple

I am so excited to share with you a product I received from KKCenterHK that I instantly fell in love with.  It is two of the CUICU Flashing Diamond Single Eyeshadows: Coral Orange, and Eggplant Purple.  KKCenterHk is a cosmetic online shop that carries various items from lipstick to nail polish to wigs.  The list just goes on really, and you will find yourself discovering new items.

I like how the package is just very sleek and simple.  Not to mention you could see the color of the eyeshadow without even opening the box.  They come in 4.2g which is more than some eyeshadow pans really.  For example:  Sugarpill Cosmetics pan is 4g; MAC Cosmetics pan is 1.5g.  So you really get a lot of product for such a great price really.  


How pretty do those look inside their pan?  When it comes to eyeshadows, I understand how tricky products could be.  Looks pretty and seems pigmented, but once you swatch it isn't that much.  These eyeshadows are not one of them what so ever.

Accidentally saw the Sunset + Quick Eye Look

Today I will be showing you two looks I did.  One for today and the other one was for Wednesday.  I was messing around with my palettes today, and not even sure how, but I accidentally did a sunset look.  I was going for a more different yellow and red eyeshadow combination look, but guess that wasn't happening.  Because my hands ended up doing a total sunset.  Think of something in your head, executed totally different by your hands.  Happens sometimes with nail art too haha.

Review: Milani Cosmetics - Abstract Powder Eyeshadow Palette

Another surprise item from Milani Cosmetics!  A compact palette with the concept of being able to swirl around hues to create your own masterpiece for your eyes.  Instead of eye popping color, its the infamous neutral shades!  Still gorgeous none the less!  This is only available at SELECT Walmarts, and will not be available on their website til later this month (maybe).

Oh you're such a Sweetheart Sugarpill!

Figured I should do a review on the other pressed eyeshadows that I have from the lovely company Sugarpill Cosmetics.  As soon as I began redoing swatches, Xan (my son) smiles and asked me if I could do another Pokeball on his cheek.
Cheesin' for the camera with his Pikachu!
Sweetheart palette, and Bulletproof was the first items I ordered from Sugarpill Cosmetics.  And I instantly fell into awe with it.  Their palettes go for $34 each, and they contain four eyeshadows in it.  For a single eyeshadow it goes for $12 each.  Pricey for some I know, but if you pick them up you won't regret it.

Viewing the Sunset with Sugarpill

If you have Sugarpill's Burning Heart palette, the sunset look is one of those you cannot help but do.  If you have a yellow, orange, red, and purple eyeshadow in general, I suggest trying out a sunset look.  They're pretty fun to do!  I have done this look before with BH Cosmetic's 1st edition palette.

A touch of neutrals

Today's look is dedicated to my good friend Emily (Very Emily).  She is a very talented nail artist and such a sweetheart.  Recently she shared with me a look she did using colors, and stated I inspired her to use color.  I know that she ventured out of her love for neutrals.  So I decided I shall do a neutral look, and venture out of my colorful looks I normally do.

A sweet and spicy taste of Sugarpill's Burning Heart

I thought I would open this little review up, with the sunshine of my life, my son Xan.  He wanted to help me do my swatches, of Sugarpill's Burning Heart palette when I got it.  So to make it more exciting for him, he asked me if he could have Pokeballs on his cheeks.  I told him we could do that, and he got even more excited.  To the point he even went to the store with his dad, showing off his cheeks.

So let's continue with the review and swatches of this gorgeous palette of theirs!
It may take awhile for them to ship out your item, but honestly it is worth the wait!  You'll notice the box right away since it has a kitty on the front with the Sugarpill logo.  By this time I was so glad I finally got my package, due to the fact stupid USPS did a misroute on my package -cries- But no worries, it got to me safely!  YAY!

My first Inglot experience!

So I'll be honest, I always thought Inglot was expensive!  Not until I actually checked it out on their site.
I have to say thank you to Leesha (xSparkage) and Christine (Temptalia) for opening my eyes to this beautiful company! 
I began checking online, and didn't really want to pay for shipping since, I wanted to see how these looked in person.  Sorry but I have been fooled by some people's swatches -insert sad face here- lol.  I discovered the closest one to me was 45 minutes away.  INGLOT Y U NO HAVE CLOSER?!
