Review: BA Star Holo Silver Glitter & Glue Liquid Base

Product Sample

Today I would like to share with you these two interesting BA Star products, that I received from BrandBacker for review purposes.  BA Star is a company that focuses upon cheerleaders, competitors, dancers and such.  They carry a wide range of products: glitters, stickers, eyeshadow, headbands etc.  Perfect for those who are cheerleaders.

The items I received were:

• Holo Silver Glue $8.75 
• Glue Liquid Base $8.75

The glue liquid base comes in a lipgloss like tube and the applicator has a doe sponged.  The glue reminds me of Elmers glue.  It holds up against sweat and holds on to the glitter and eyeshadow well.  

The holo silver glitter is made of fine holo silver glitter.  That at angles looks turquoise.  This was designed for body and face.  The jar seems over packed and could be a bit messy when opening it.  It would of been nice  if a sifter was included upon it.

I ended up doing a heart and left it on my arm as I went out to see if it would come off in this Southern California heat.  It didn't have any fallouts while I was out and stayed pretty well.  There might be touch ups if you over sweat a lot.

BA Star was even kind enough to give you lovely readers a 50% off these products by entering the code "BBGLITZ".  So make sure to check them out when you can.

What do you think about glitter?  Have you tried one of BA Star's products before?

Review: Duri Cosmetics - Once Upon a Dream Collection

Press Sample

So today I have a wonderful new summer collection called "Once Upon a Dream" from Duri Cosmetics to show you.

Duri Cosmetics is known as a professional line that aims towards high performance for consumers at salons and specialty stores nationwide.  Their nail polish is meant to be long-lasting and chip-resistant with a smooth finish.  Their nail products are 3-Free: DBP, Toluene, and Formaldehyde.  Each bottle holds 0.5 fl. oz./15ml.

Once Upon a Dream has six beautiful pastel colors.  From bottom to top:  Pillow Pink, Soft Slumber Blush,  Lilac Dream, Sleeping Beauty Indigo, Pie in the Sky Green, and Cloud True Blue.

The pigment-rich pastel palette isn't meant to put you to sleep, but to dream big for long-lasting summer days and temperate nights.  - Duri Cosmetics Founder Faina Ritz

The colors are supposed to remind you of "embody clear skies, pink sunsets, carnivals and carousels."  When I first saw this collection it reminded me more of spring, but as I read what Duri Cosmetics was aiming for I started thinking what does summer really mean to me.  When I look up at the clear blue skies, it isn't neon blue.  So I am so glad that Duri Cosmetics went the pastel route instead of the typical neon colors.

Recently Elegant Touch released some new goodies to their already wonderful line of false nails collection line, which debuted in the US in April.  You could find Elegant Touch products at Ulta stores and website.

So today I have one of those new additions to share with you.  It is Elegant Touch's Nail Art Kit in Rosalia, which I received for review purposes.  The nail art kits that they released all come with two glitter puffer bottles, 50 studs, a nail art applicator, and a protective sealer.

It also comes with an instruction leaflet for those who are not sure how to use the products.  Totally wonderful for those who are just getting into nail art.

Review: SUPER BLACK Lacquers - Whip

Press Sample

I have been saving the best for last of my SUPER BLACK Lacquers' review set.  It is a wicked black holographic nail polish called Whip.

Natalie Dee did an amazing job on these nail polishes.  The size on all of the SUPER BLACK Lacquers' nail polishes is 18ml.  Not to mention they are all 4-Free which means there is no Formaldehyde, Dibutyl Phthalate, Toluene, and Formaldehyde resin.  SBL is completely formulated, mixed, and bottled all by hand.

Review: SUPER BLACK Lacquers - Lombard

Today I have one of the gorgeous holo nail polishes from SUPER BLACK Lacquer, called Lombard, which I received for review purposes.  SUPER BLACK Lacquers is still a fairly new Indie nail polish line, and I am sure they will become super popular in no time.  If you have not checked out ND's nail polishes yet you are missing out!  She has awh-mazing holos, glitters, and solids (shimmer & creams). SUPER BLACK Lacquers is a 4-free meaning it does not carry Formaldehyde, Dibutyl Phthalate, Toluene, and Formaldehyde Resin. 

Lombard is such a pretty holographic lilac and has different results in different lighting.  

In regular/low sort of lighting it has a shimmery dusky lilac look.  Natural lighting and sunlight it glistens off its gorgeous holographic side.

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.

• Electric Blue

• Orchid
• Starry Night

Review: Super Black Lacquers - Son of a Space Ghost

Sponsored

Today I have a super gorgeous Super Black Lacquer's glitter polish to share with you, called Son of a Space Ghost.  This product was received for review purposes.


Natalie Dee did such a wonderful job on this black base glittery goodness polish.

I love the massive amount of fine fuschia glitter, small hex purple glitter, medium sized holo pink and silver glitters sitting within a sheer black jelly base.

The black base is so mystifying to be honest.  Because sometimes I think its a dark purple base but it's actually a black!  Super gorgeous!
