Review: Star Crushed Minerals' Blushes - Light Primrose, Peachy Sheen, Mauve-o-lous

Press Sample

Today I have some blushes to show you from my gal Edith's shop, Star Crushed Minerals, which was sent to me for review purposes.  She created Star Crushed Minerals based upon her past experience with cosmetics.  She wanted something more natural and healthy instead of having high end cosmetics.  And let me tell you, her products are fabulous and I have not broken into pimples since using them.

The top jar is Light Primrose, and the bottom two (left to right) is Perfectly Peach and Mauve-o-lous.  These are sample sizes which contain 1g of product.  Can you believe that all her samples come in jars AND sifters?!  Honestly love that it comes like that instead of the typical ziploc bags.  As most of you know are a pain at times!  Her full size carries 2.5g of product.

Today I would like to share with you some eyeshadows and a blush that I received from Femme Fatale Cosmetics for review purposes.  Femme Fatale Cosmetics is an indie company that is based in Australia, and they specialize in mineral cosmetics, and not to mention recently have started to do Indie polishes as well.  Their products are blended by hand which makes their products even more special.  Sophie, the owner, was very kind and helpful when I was making my decision.  Also she is very pretty!

I received samples of seven loose eyeshadows: Mystic Tome, Ruby Wings, Spearmint Candy, Sun Crystal, Haunt, Incantation, and Phantasm; and a blush: Duskwing.  Each sample goes for $1.10AUS and is about 1/8 tsp in a zip lock bag.  And all of the samples you order be it blush, foundation, or eyeshadow will be free shipping.

Today I have this lovely glitter polish to show you that I received from Cosmetic Love for review purposes.      It is Missha's The Style Lucid Nail Polish Dazzling in Style #3.  Cosmetic Love is a Korean based online shop that sells a bunch of Asian cosmetics!  They carry various products from nail polish to BB creams to eyeliners to lipstick.  Their site even carries skin care products and items for men as well.  Just to list a few big name Asian Brands:  TonyMoly, Skin79, Missha, Etude House, and the list goes on.  Their website is very easy to navigate through.  If you order from them you will receive samples as gifts.  So say you order 1 product you get 2 samples.  You order three items you get two samples, a nose pack, and a mask pack.  They are at random of course, but its a great way into trying new products!

Style #3 of the Style Lucid Nail Polish Dazzling is punched with various glitters.  

It has assorted sizes of hex in black, lime green, yellow, red, white, and so much more.  It has white squares and small round ones as well.  There are assorted red and green bars as well.

Today I have a very special nail polish to share with you from my girl's shop, Ooh La Lacquer.  It is called Princess Nylah, and a latest addition to her polish line.  This will be released later on today, along with some other new polishes.

The reason why this gorgeous glitter packed nail polish is a very special one is because Nastassia named it after her little diva god-daughter.  How sweet is that?

Today I have this shiny extra long wearing eyeliner from Lord & Berry called INKglam, which I received from LookFantastic for review purposes.  LookFantastic is an online beauty boutique that is located in Britain.  They carry a wide range of products from hair, makeup, nail products, to perfume.  Their list just goes on and on.  Not to mention they have medium & high end brands as well.  LookFantastic is a nicely organized site putting the items into categories.  For example: Nail Polish is organized by nail color sections.  You don't have to keep going through lines and lines of colors. Moreover, LookFantastic is FREE shipping worldwide!  Can you believe that?  With the brands, they carry I am truly amazed by it!  So make sure to check the company out!  You will be surprised to see what brands that they have.

So back to the Lord & Berry INKglam.  At the moment this is currently out of stock upon their website, but it cost about $15 for a 2.5ml waterproof eyeliner.

INKglam is the perfect product for lining and defining the eyes with either fine or bold lines with a shiny, "patent leather" finish...INKglam is quick-drying, long-wearing, smudge-resistant and waterproof yet can be easily removed. - Lord & Berry Cosmetics

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.
