It's been a while since I posted, but I though that it would be fun to get back to blogging; so here I am. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.48px;">I'm posting today because one of my (more recent) favorite brands created a</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.48px;"> #glossierpink Pinterest board.</span></span><br />
<br />
First and foremost, for 100% complete transparency, I want to let you guys know that I'm not being paid for this post and I'm receiving absolutely no compensation; I just really love Glossier and I thought it would be fun to participate. Why do I love Glossier? Because they have a huge focus on skin care and creating the most amazing base (our own skin) to elevate your own beauty. I own several Glossier products and when my current face wash runs out, I plan on picking up their new Milky Jelly Cleanser. The whole idea and philosophy behind Glossier aligns with my view on skin care and it doesn't hurt that<a href="https://glossier.com/#!/products" target="_blank"> their products</a> are cute and great quality.<br />
<br />
It was a bit of a challenge at first, trying to figure out how to incorporate #glossierpink into my look because, quite honestly, I am <b>not</b> a pale pink kind of girl. I thought about a lipstick or a blush, but both look horrible on my pale, warm skin; I thought about pink hair (honestly) but I didn't want to commit to that. Then I figured it out; a manicure!<br />

I found the Wet N Wild 1 Step Wonder Gel nail polish in the shade Pinky Swear (review to come on these nail polishes later) was the perfect shade of pink to match Glossier and looked nice on my nails.</div>

Great question! For those of you who have been following me or have just started to follow this blog (there are quite a few who have subbed recently on Bloglovin), you may have been wondering if I was ever going to post again. Well, here I am. </div>
<br />
Things were getting hectic last year in December strictly due to the time of year, but then I also broke up with my boyfriend which was pretty gut wrenching, my job was slowly killing me, and then, surprisingly, my company decided to shut down my photo studio... leaving me jobless. It was a rough couple of months and blogging was the last thing on my mind. I simply took a break. I've been unemployed the last two or so months, which seems like a great time to blog, but I had just kind of lost interest. Now, ironically enough, I've just gotten a new job and it made me want to start blogging again! Because blogging when I had nothing to do would have just made way too much sense.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, that's where I've been the last few months; just dealing with my own life and that sort of boring nonsense. Since I'm trying to get back into the blogosphere now, I feel like I should inform those of you who may not know, that Sephora is having their annual spring sale! Here are the details (because obviously, if I'm getting back into blogging, I should also be enabling, right?):<br />
<br />
The sale started today (4/12) for VIB Rouge members, who receive 15% off any purchase in store and online, and will only be active for Rouge until 4/16/15. On that date, the sale becomes active for VIB members, who will also receive 15% off all purchases in store and online. On 4/17/15, the sale becomes active for <b>all </b>Beauty Insider members (membership is free, just sign up, dammit) and BI members will receive 10% off all purchases in store and online. The sale ends for VIB/VIB Rouge on 4/21/15 and for BI members on 4/20/15. Have I thoroughly confused you with all of these dates? Ok, well, let me list it out for you all nice like.<br />
<br />

<br />
You may think to yourself, "I wonder what Bisous Darling bought at the Sephora sale..." Well, let me tell you what I purchased this morning at the Beauty Before Brunch even for VIB Rouge members.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Shiseido Facial Cottons</b><br />
<br />
These are a bit pricey, but my god, after I started using them, I could never go back to normal cotton rounds. These feel like pillows on your face and I can use <b>ONE</b> to remove an entire face of makeup.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Clinique Lash Power Mascara</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I've honestly never used this mascara before, but I saw Sharon Farrell talk about it on her YouTube channel and I was instantly intrigued. I've really been loving mascaras with tiny brushes recently, so I picked this up to try out/add to my massive pile of mascaras that I need to use.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Sephora Honey Eye Mask</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Ok, ok, this was an impulse purchase. I had my birthday celebration last night and I may have gotten home fairly close to 4 a.m. and then gotten up at 8:30 a.m. to go to the Sephora event. My eyes hurt, I needed something... so I bought these. They were $5! And they'll be fun.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Sephora Pearl Mask</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I've been meaning to pick up a Sephora brand sheet mask to see how they fare against some of the my Korean sheet masks. I liked the sound of "perfecting and brightening", so I picked up this one. I'll definitely do a review on this to let you guys know what I think of it.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Hourglass Modernist Eyeshadow Palette in Infinity</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Y'all. That picture above just doesn't do the product justice. I have heard a ton of mixed reviews on these palettes, but Infinity is amazing. It swatches amazingly, it doesn't seem to have a lot of fall out (or maybe it's just how I apply shadow?), and it's 4 matte shades and one beautiful shimmer. There will definitely be an entire post about this bad boy, don't you worry.<br />
<br />
I also picked up my free birthday gift with the two NARS lip pencils and one NARS eye pencil. Are you guys picking anything up from the Sephora sale? Or want to get an opinion on something? Feel free to leave a comment below! I've missed my blog and am so happy to be back!!Bisous Darlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14956143788756513245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4527765977554533660.post-18790049719990969412014-12-05T16:32:00.004-06:002014-12-05T16:32:49.643-06:00Colour Pop : Review & Swatches<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So, have you guys heard of <a href="https://colourpop.com/" target="_blank">Colour Pop</a>? If you follow any beauty folks on Instagram/are active on Reddit, I feel like you probably have. They seem to be taking over the world of social media and with good reason; they're an LA based company offering lipsticks, lip pencils, and eye shadows for a whopping price of $5/each. They also offer free shipping on orders over $30, which is pretty easy to hit, so they've got that going for them, too. I can't remember where I first found out about Colour Pop, but I think it was on Reddit and the first colour (haha, get it?) I saw was the shade "Creature". It was this glorious dark burgundy shade and after that, I knew I had to order some things.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The Colour Pop website is incredibly easy to navigate and really well built which is awesome considering how new they are. You can search, there are categories, and the photos are great... which I'm usually highly critical of since I'm a product photographer. They also swatch their lip colors on light, medium, and dark skin tones. Now, they don't swatch each shade on all three, but it looks like they're working on that. I placed an order on November 14th, it shipped November 19th (two weekend days in there), and it arrived on November 22nd. Not bad for a company that is still fairly small (I assume).<br />
<br />
I don't have a picture of it, because I forgot, but I did receive a little personalized note from them that said "Hi Allison, We're going to call you dandelion. Love, Colour Pop" The order was packed well in an interior box, stuffed with paper (thank god, I can recycle this!), and then in a larger box. Each lipstick, lip pencil, and eye shadow comes in its own little box. I am not going to talk about the eye shadows in this post, I'm going to do a separate post for those, so today will be all about the Lippie Stix and Lip Pencils.<br />

<b>Creature </b>is <span style="font-family: inherit;">"<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">A deepened blackened burgundy red in a matte finish aka 'a sultry, fierce red for the world dominator' ". For these swatches, I used the lip pencil and the lippie stix together. I need to sharpen the lip pencil... which is why it looks a bit soft on the outlining. Whoops.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">The pencil and the lippie stix in Creature apply <b>amazingly</b> and are opaque immediately. I am love with this color and this texture. My lips were slightly chapped when I applied this product for the photo, but you can barely see it! It doesn't cling to the dry patches badly, at all, and it looks lovely on the lips. </span></span></div>

<b>Brink </b>is <span style="font-family: inherit;">"a<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"> warm dusty taupe in a matte finish. Curated by @brittanysuleim</span><wbr style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"></wbr><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">an. Inspired by the insta-famous Kylie lip". I won't lie, I bought this specifically for that last line "Kylie lip". I cannot stand the Kardashian clan, but fuck, does Kylie Jenner has great lip colors! This shade turns a little too warm on me to make it a true dusty taupe, but it's still a fantastic color. This was obviously swatched the same day as Creature (all of these swatches were done the same day), so my lips were still slightly chapped when taking these photos. Can you see any flaky skin in these photos? I can't. Amazing. Brink is creamier to apply than Creature, but dries down to a true matte. This shade is also completely opaque upon first swipe, which is fantastic. The only thing that I noticed that miiiight annoy some people is that the lip pencil is slightly darker than the lippie stix; to me this is no big deal for a nude shade and is actually what I prefer, but I realize that some people might not be into that.</span></span></div>

I don't own a lot of true pink lipsticks because I don't feel like they look amazing on me. I bought this mostly because of the name, but also because it was a $5 investment into something that I wasn't sure about. This is a satin shade, which is different than Brink and Creature, which are both mattes. This color definitely has a slip to it when applying and it isn't nearly as opaque as the other two. It can easily be built to be opaque, but it takes a bit more effort. This shade, which is a tiny bit milky (meaning that the base is somewhat white), can be a bit patchy. Rubbing your lips together takes care of this issue, but it can still be a pain. I actually do like the color quite a bit, so yay! However... this shade broke when I opened it. Not in a major way, the tip of the stick broke off and not wanting to have to return it and replace it, I just picked it up off the counter and stuck it back on. </div>

So there you go! If I'm being 100% honest with you, I not only will be ordering from Colour Pop again, I already have. I placed another order this morning and got Lumière, their newest shade, along with a few gifts. If you guys are interested, check out their website and scroll around, see if you find anything you like.</div>

Another day, another indie to tell you guys about... or more accurately, remind you about. A few months back, I posted a <a href="http://bisousdarling.blogspot.com/2014/07/limnit-lipsticks-swatches-mini-review.html" target="_blank">review</a> and some lip swatches from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LimnitLipsticks" target="_blank">Limnit</a> and I finally got around to ordering a few other colors that I had wanted to get my hands on. Trina had closed for a bit in the early fall but when she reopened, I jumped on the opportunity to get these shades. I only ordered Bewitching Hour and Ms. President, but she threw in Deepest Taupes and Dreams to thank me for my previous review! How sweet? Seriously, this is why I love the indie scene.</div>

<b>Ms. President</b> is, as Limnit describes it, a "bold, semi-matte, opaque, vegan, brick orange-red" shade. It is definitely the most opaque out of the three that I got in the sense that it is just completely opaque in one swipe of the lip brush. This shade was soft and applied super easily and left behind very little, if any stain on the lips.</div>

<b>Bewitching Hour</b> is a "bold, semi-matte, opaque, vegan, dark midnight blue" shade. This was actually the third shade that I applied, which is why my line work is a little shoddy on this... I found this to be fairly opaque on the first swipe, but it did take the tiniest amount of work to get even all over the lips. I actually bought this shade so that I can mix it with Goodness Graycious and make all types of fun colors, but I think I'll probably be busting it out on its own as well. Word to the wise, this shade <b>will</b> stain your lips, so don't think that you can just casually wear it and then wipe it off half way through the day.</div>

<b>Deepest Taupes and Dreams </b>is a "bold, semi-matte, opaque, vegan, dark brown" shade. This was my free shade and it isn't something that I would have picked up on my own. In real life, the shade is definitely more grey, but the lighting here is making the shade look much warmer. This is also extremely dark brown and if you aren't looking closely, can really look black from a distance. I had the most trouble with patchiness with DTAD, but simply blotting and going over the shade takes care of the issue. I'm not sure if I'll be wearing this one as often (OH MY GOD, A COLOR THAT I'M NOT COMPLETELY CONFIDENT IN????), but I might try to keep pushing myself to wear it. </div>

However, after a few more days, here is part 2 of the <a href="http://www.aromaleighcosmetics.com/product-category/eyes/le-eyes/sol-invictus-holiday-2014/" target="_blank">Aromaleigh Sol Invictus</a> swatches!<br />

My opinions on these six shadows are pretty much the same as the first six that I posted with one exception. The shade Opalia was a bit funky for me and after searching on Google, it looks like it was an issue for other people as well. I'll talk about it more below, so keep scrolling to see the swatches!<br />

I've read other's opinions on this shade as well and it seems like we all feel the same way about it. This shade is mostly glitter and not a lot of base, so it applies a bit patchy on its own. If it were layered over something, it would look much, much better.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 22.5px;"><b>My overall opinion on the collection </b>is wow. If you like metallic and glittery shadows, this collection is definitely something for you to look into. I have a fairly healthy love affair for all things matte, but I also love shadows that catch the eye and are special... which is exactly what these are. The colors are incredibly unique and I think it's safe to say that I don't have anything like these in my collection. Every shade is multifaceted and aside from Opalia, they apply smoothly and opaquely. Definitely a collection to pick up!</span></span></div>

It's been a really long time since I've posted, but it's been the really busy season at work (I'm a product photographer, so we're getting ready for Christmas!) and I'm just exhausted when I get home. However, I need to get this post up since the ladies at <a href="http://www.aromaleighcosmetics.com/" target="_blank">Aromaleigh</a> have been so kind as to provide me with samples of their newest collection; <a href="http://www.aromaleighcosmetics.com/product-category/eyes/le-eyes/sol-invictus-holiday-2014/" target="_blank">Sol Invictus</a>. Rather than provide you with swatches of all twelve shadows at once, I'm going to break this up into two separate posts. Today, you will get 6 sets of swatches and tomorrow, you will get 6 more. Sound good? Fantastic.<br />
<br />
If you remember (or if you just scroll back a bit), I also received samples of the Diavoli collection from Aromaleigh, so I have experience with their shadows. Those of you who are familiar with the indie cosmetics scene, I'm sure, have heard of Aromaleigh. Those of you who are <b>not</b> familiar with the indie cosmetics scene, well, for starters you need to jump on in but also, you <b>need</b> some Aromaleigh shadows. The entire indie world is full of amazing colors and textures, but Aromaleigh really does make incredibly unique and amazing shadows. Every time that I play with their shadows, I'm reminded that the products that they create are just out of this world. The funny thing about it though, is that no matter how beautiful the photos are, they are not even a tenth of how beautiful these shadows are in real life.<br />
<br />
Just for a quick overview of all of the shadows; I'm blown away, just like I was with the last collection that I received. The shades are all insanely buttery, especially for shadows that are loaded with glitter! They apply like a dream and with a sticky base (this part is essential for all loose shadows, indie or not), they become this otherworldly entity. Pardon my language, but so fucking gorgeous. I thought that I really liked the Diavoli collection, but whatever my feelings were for that, just multiply it by about twenty and that's how I feel about the Sol Invictus collection. It's amazing.<br />
<br />
Ok, onto some photos.<br />

The reason for this is that the shadows are intense duochromes... which makes them very hard to photograph. I, however, was up for the challenge and I contacted her saying that I was interested! I did receive these samples for free, but that doesn't sway my opinion on them in any way, shape, or means. Whatever I'm writing here is my honest opinion and I'm not being compensated by Aromaleigh for posting this. Now, with that out of the way...<br />

You may be asking yourself, "What the hell does diavoli mean?" and honestly, I didn't know either... I speak French, not Italian. However, upon a quick Wikipedia search, diavoli is the plural of devil! This makes sense because the shadows are named for the Malebranche which are the 13 devilish demons who patrolled the 5th Bolgia in Dante's Inferno. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think that I did this in my last swatch/review post, but I'm doing this again because these indie creators make it so simple. <b>All</b> of these shadows applied incredibly easy, went on smoothly, and were opaque in no time. There is only one shade that did swatch incredibly well, but it was user error and not the shadow itself (I know because I've since swatched it and it's fine). Literally, all of these shades are so incredibly beautiful and I feel like every review that I've read on them has said the same thing: photos just cannot capture how pretty these are. Duochrome is hard to photograph in the first place since it's all dependent on lighting, but since these are so intensely duochrome-d, it's even harder. I tried my best though and without further ado; the swatches!</div>

This is the swatch that I messed up while I was doing it; I got some pixie epoxy on my finger while I was applying the color and it just create an odd spot. This shade was also the least visibly duochrome like for me. If you have Shenanigans from Fyrinnae, I found these two to be very similar. I love that the base is a bit of a dark gray with the intense coppery/gold on top; it makes for an amazing shadow.</div>

In direct sunlight, Farfarelle and Graffiacane look very similar, but when you can see them in natural lighting as well, you see their difference. Their bases are similar, but what they reflect is not; Farfarelle has far more pinkiness to it, while Graffiacane has a strong green to it.</div>

Malebranche and Rubicante are two shadows which tend to look very similar even in the packaging; their differences are very subtle. Malebranche is more warm toned all around whereas Rubicante has a warm base with blue overtones.</div>

The forecast calls for rain tomorrow as well and then it might be sunny on Sunday, but I have plans that day (obviously, the one suitable day). I will be getting to those two final write ups, but it's just going to take a while or a sunny day to be able to do them! T<br />
<br />
Now that that's out of the way, let's proceed to the FOTDs from this week!<br />

Well, I've been doing some looks recently that I've shot and I thought, "HEY. I should put this stuff up on the blog". Rather than do it when I had actually done these looks, because let's face, that makes way too much sense, I decided to do it in one massive post. Get ready for a lot of the right side of my face.<br />

You guys, as soon as I wrote that the sun wasn't out, it came out and stayed out for an entire day! Of course, it's gone back into hiding today, but I got some swatch pictures done, <i>finally. </i>On the blog today I am going to be talking to you about <a href="http://www.myprettyzombie.com/" target="_blank">My Pretty Zombie</a>! My Pretty Zombie was started by the owner, Andrea, in 2008 as an Etsy shop where she sold her handpainted zombie Barbies. In 2010, she started selling cosmetics and in 2013, started her own website (which is linked above). I heard about her earlier this year when I started to explore indie cosmetics, but I didn't place an order until June.<br />
<br />
I wish I had remembered to write down how fast the TAT was, but I didn't do that, but it definitely arrived within the stated TAT if not before. I only ordered samples, so I didn't get the typical wrapping that Andrea sends the orders in... which includes a plastic severed finger. I don't know about you guys, but I love horror and gore, so this is right up my alley. I actually received my order in a card and Andrea refunded me for the difference in shipping, which is insanely cool and nice of her.<br />
<br />
Now that you have a little info on the company and shipping, let's dive into the swatches!<br />
<br />
I ordered two sets of eyeshadow 3 sample packs. All swatches are done over Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. The colors that I got were:<br />

This applies very well and is opaque very quickly. It's described on the My Pretty Zombie site as "peachy pink with a golden green shift" and I would agree with that, but sadly the green shift didn't show up in my photos! In real life, there is definitely a green shift to this, but it is subtle and very pretty.</div>

Oh dear god, the beauty that is Dissolution... I'm always drawn to blue shadows even though I think that they look absolutely horrible on me. Dissolution is described on the site as purple over a blue base (it's part of the Blue Period Collection, which you can find by going to "Sets and Samples") and that description is spot on. The base of the blue is super pigmented and actually stained under my fingernail when I did the swatch, but it doesn't stain my skin.</div>

Maybe when I review indie shadows, the reviews are a bit boring because I generally only have awesome things to say about the colors and application, but Violet Bites falls into the awesome category. A dream to apply and not patchy at all; described on the site as a red based purple with a golden sheen... spot on.</div>

TaraYvonne is another shadow that is insanely hard to photograph. It's a navy base with red glitter in it and it's just really hard to get the red glitter to show up. This applied very easily, but I will say that the glitter in it does make it a little bit... gritty feeling. It's really on;y noticeable if you stick your finger in the shadow and feel it that way and the feeling doesn't really translate to the eyes.</div>

Rash.. oh Rash. My favorite colors to wear on my eyes are red based purples, reds, and burgundies and Rash falls right into that category. Andrea describes it as a "light pinkish burgundy with lots of shimmer" and again, her description is spot on. It is extremely shimmery and is so beautiful as an all over the lid color. This shade probably applied the best out of all the shadows and was insanely opaque and pigmented.</div>

Again, the intense love affair with a color that I won't wear too often. Infirmity is easily the prettiest shade out of all the ones that I received; a teal blue base with an insane golden green shift/glitter to it. However, this is a shadow that has to be worked with and is not a "I only have 15 minutes to do my makeup" kind of shade. Blues can be notoriously finicky to work with and this is definitely a shadow that you have to press on slowly and carefully. However, <b>look at it</b>, it's worth it. Hell, this is probably one of the most gorgeous shades of eye shadow that I own. Absolutely stunning and worth the work to make it look its best.</div>

I also ordered her Drugs Like Me blush sample collection which includes 5 blushes (and I think that I got an extra one in my order, squeeeee), but I subbed out THC for Morphine. These were swatched heavily over bare skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And I can honestly write the same review for every single one of these blushes and I'm going to, rather than make you read the same review six times in a row. All of the blushes have amazing pigment to them, some more than others (which I'll notate below), but all great pigmentation. They all applied like a fucking dream on the skin and blend very nicely. Amazing quality on every single one of these.</div>

Alright, so... I am fairly well versed in drug names because I really like watching drug documentaries. I have heard the term "benzo" about a million times, but never really gave any thought as to what they actually are, so I had to look it up. I'm now educated. Anyhow, Benzodiazephine looks really red in the package, but since my skin is fairly yellow, it shows up more orangey red on me. It has only the slightest shimmer to it and unless you were in the sun, it would likely look matte.</div>

Morphine is actually the entire reason that I placed this order. I saw someone post about this color and I knew that I had to have it. Morphine is not a blush color for the faint of heart (haha, I wrote this and then looked up the description on her site and Andrea wrote the same thing; it's fate!); it's a grey base with what looks like lavender glitter in it. So gorgeous and so amazing. I actually kept this one a little bit more sheer, but with a heavier hand, you can make this really dark.</div>

6 mam is a plummy base with some subtle lavender shimmer to it, but basically, a perfect color for autumn! 6 mam actually applied a bit more sheer than the other colors, but it still equally gorgeous.</div>

And the other crown jewel from this blush sampler (and yes, I love this almost as much as Morphine). LSD is definitely the sheerest of all the blushes, but if you wanted, could still be built up to be fairly opaque. The base is a lovely grayish plum and it has an amazing reddish gold shift to it. I'm not sure if this can be used on the eyes, but it would also make a stunning eye shadow color.</div>

Long time, no talk, right? Well, my plan to finish up my indies "month", cough... three months, cough, isn't going so well since the sun <b>will. not. shine.</b> Every time I'm at work, the sun is out and plentiful and by the time I get home, it's hiding behind a massive layer of clouds. Fingers crossed the sun will come out in the next few days so that I can tell you about a few more brands and get the swatches up! Regardless, I did get some more indies...</div>

If you follow me on Instagram (if you don't, click on the instagram button to your right), then you have seen the picture above. After responding to a Reddit post, I received a lovely little package from Ajevie containing several polishes for me to try out from <a href="http://www.dollysgoods.com/" target="_blank">Dolly's Polish</a>. It looks like the site is up, but doesn't have these polishes available quite yet! They are all mini sized, which explains why they're so adorable, but is also perfect for someone like me who will never make it through an entire bottle of polish. I received four shades; Sugar Skull, Autumn 2014, Lake Monster Scales, and Gilded Plums. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This isn't truly a review since I'm not too adept at writing nail polish reviews; I use my hands every day at work and my fingers get smashed by heavy objects on a weekly basis... therefore nothing can stay on my fingernails for too long. I will say this though, all of the polishes dried <i>insanely quickly</i> which is something that I appreciate immensely. All of the swatches were done without a base or top coat, so all you're seeing is polish. </div>

And of course, this wouldn't be a post about indies without a mention of the cute packaging in which Ajevie sent my things. She included a cute note on the back of the halloween card and a business card (not pictured)! Also, before we dive into "swatches", please excuse my horrible cuticles and subpar painting job. I am not a master at nail polish, simply someone who likes it and paints their nails from time to time.</div>

I had a sunny day this week when I didn't have anything else going on, so it was finally time to swatch some more indies! Today I'm going to be talking about <a href="http://www.notoriouslymorbid.com/category_31/Home.htm" target="_blank">Notoriously Morbid</a> which is based out of West Virginia. I had seen the company name pop up quite a bit on Reddit, so I decided to check them out and noticed that they had a blogger pack option. It wasn't available, so I asked on Notoriously Morbid's Facebook if they were planning to make it available again and they did it that same day (excellent CS!). They were also running a free shipping with orders $10+ and a GWP, so I decided to place my order and got what is pictured above.</div>

In my blogger pack, I got to choose one full sized shadow and 5 samples, so I chose: Ladder to Hell (full size), Quiet in the Dark, Sometimes my Arms Bend Back, It's Not Raining in Here, Evil Eye, and Cry Wolf Cry. I also ordered four additional samples of Boe, Give Me $20!, Young Merlin, and Neno.</div>

And I got 7 Years Shattered and Bad Juju as free samples. I also got Tea Tosh as my GWP, but I seem to have misplaced it which is why there is no photo of it.... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The TAT for Notoriously Morbid is 10-14 business days and I ordered during a bit of a sale, but they still managed to get my order out in 11 business days. Shipping was pretty fast and it got to me in Kansas in 3 days, which made me very happy. The only thing that I have a small complaint with isn't even actually a real complaint, I just couldn't think of any other word for it. For my GWP, there were two options, Tea Tosh and Pale Rider, and I put in my order notes that I would like Pale Rider. However, when the invoice printed on their end, it cut off the portion of the notes with my Pale Rider request. I've run into this issue before with printers cutting off extra info in the notes, but since it was a GWP, I really don't care and it certainly isn't something that I'm going to bother them with. Just be aware that if you are placing an order and need to write a lot in the notes, you might also want to email to make sure that it is seen.</div>

<b>7 Years Shattered</b> was one of my freebies and isn't something that I would have ordered on my own. It's a fairly opaque, glittery, white shadow that applies really, really nicely. I can definitely see me using this in the inner corner or on the brow bone for some awesome highlighting!</div>

<b>Bad Juju</b> was the other one of my freebies and again, probably not something that I would have picked up on my own. On my skin, it shows up as a very orange based red with a purple shift to it and isn't the most flattering shadow for me. It makes my eye color look fantastic, but something about the orangey red doesn't look great on me. This shadow was a bit harder to apply and took a bit of work to make it look nice. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the red base, but the other red shadow that I got also proved to be a bit difficult.</div>

<b>It's Not Raining in Here</b> is a periwinkle blue shade with a beautiful light golden shift.

<b>Quiet in the Dark</b> is a slightly cool toned red shade with golden sparkles. As gorgeous as this is (and it looks like blood, so I find it amazing), it has a slightly different texture than all of the other shadows... almost a bit gritty, and it was a bit difficult to apply. I tried swiping and patting and while patting produced better results, it still was patchier than everything else. This is lip safe however, so I may resort to using it as a lip color.</div>

<b>Tea Tosh</b> is a slightly sheer beige tone with a reddish shift to it. When it isn't in direct sunlight, it blends in with my arm skin fairly well, so I had a bit of difficulty shooting the natural light swatch! This is one of those fun shades since it looks like a neutral and shifts to red. This is a bit more on the sheer side, so I would definitely layer this over a base to help it show up a bit more or just use it all over the lid as a wash of color.</div>

Between an incredibly weird busy time at work and a busy period in my personal life, I just haven't had a ton of time to devote to the blog. I'm headed out of town this weekend, but when I return, everything should be back to normal and I can finish up with the remaining brands that I want to discuss for indies! (I actually shot for a new blog post earlier this afternoon, so there should be a new one before the end of this week.) In the mean time, I thought it would be really easy to do this post since it's all text. I want to preface this post and say that I am not writing this with malicious intent, but rather to inform you all about a company that I feel does not deserve my business and really, anyone's business. I'm also writing this because I have advertised their services in the past and I want to let you know my change in heart toward them.<br />
<br />
What company am I talking about? Julep. If I haven't mentioned it enough, I am a pretty avid Redditor and I belong to about one million and one beauty subs there. One of them is called <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/BeautyBoxes/" target="_blank">/r/BeautyBoxes</a> and it's completely devoted to subscription services. I discovered that sub shortly after I had started my subscription to Julep and to my dismay, the sub was littered with horrible reviews of Julep; not because of their products (there's mixed reviews on their polishes anyway - I happen to like them aside from the horrible stench) but because of their customer service. If you're curious, all you have to do is go to /r/BeautyBoxes and type "Julep" in the search option; you'll see the chaos. I, however, already had my subscription to Julep and since, at the time, you could only cancel your subscription over the phone, I just hung on to it. I did eventually attempt to cancel my subscription over the phone, but I could never get a customer service representative on the phone. I eventually gave up and just continued to skip every month of the subscription. Then the month of June happened...<br />
<br />
You have to skip your box during a certain window of time on their site; it's "open" for something like a week. All you have to do is log in, go to the Maven section and go through a few more screens and you will eventually be presented you with the skipping option. I did this at the end of June, meaning that I would be skipping my July box, and carried on my merry way. Well, merry until I looked at credit card statement and noticed a charge from Julep. I attempted to call them since I had skipped the box, but I was unable to get a hold of anyone (shocking), so I emailed them. It took them a week to get back in touch with me; an entire week. At this point, my box had already shipped and there was nothing that they could do for me. Along with that, the customer service rep obviously didn't read the email I had sent and simply copied and pasted a response back to me.<br />
<br />
Here's the thing with me; I worked in customer service for over seven years and I have no patience for people who don't do it well. I understand that Julep is probably completely understaffed or I at least hope that they are since they never seem to be able to answer the phone, but that's no excuse for not reading an email that is time sensitive and then sending back a canned response. I responded back to the CS agent in a very frank and matter of fact way and she got back to me immediately and cancelled my subscription (I requested that this happen) and said she would send me a prepaid label to return the box once I received it. The label, however, would take about two to three business days to show up, so I had to wait for it. Well, those business days passed and then a few more passed and I received nothing. At this point, I took to their Facebook wall which got fairly prompt attention and after a few more business days, I received my return shipping label.<br />
<br />
I returned the box of nail polish that I didn't want and it was received by Julep on the 21st of July. In one of my previous emails, the CS agent stated that it would take 5-10 business days for a refund to show up on my card. I patiently waited those 5-10 business days and on the tenth day, when there was still no refund on my card, I called the customer service line. Amazingly, I got a hold of an agent on the phone (this was literally the first time ever out of dozens of calls) who proceeded to tell me that no refund had even been processed yet and that we would go ahead and it get it processed while I was on the phone. He did so and then told me that it would be another 2-10 business days before I got my refund on my card. Here I am on August 19th and I have finally received my refund. This is the ninth business day since that phone call. My bank is not the hold up here since every other refund I've ever received has shown in 24-48 hours but rather Julep's refund procedure.<br />
<br />
It took almost an entire month from the date that they received my package to give me a refund and if I hadn't called them to check, who knows how long it would have taken. I have emails and Facebook posts to show how many times I had to contact them regarding this ONE charge. The amount isn't even that much, it's the fact that they are so irresponsible when it comes to everything. Take one look at their Facebook page and you can see complaints from a slew of people. Look at the Reddit sub that I linked earlier and you will find tons of people who have had slight issues like me and others have had huge issues with $70-$100 orders.<br />

I am not writing this out of spite to bash the company but rather to warn all of you readers about the potential of getting screwed over. Since I recommended this company in the past, I feel that I needed to do this follow up. Honestly, aside from this, I never had any issues with Julep and I kind of though that people were blowing it out of proportion; guess I was wrong, huh? If you do want to subscribe to Julep, please, tread with caution.Bisous Darlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14956143788756513245noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4527765977554533660.post-15315445336054805072014-08-01T15:51:00.000-05:002014-08-01T15:52:16.478-05:00Glamour Doll Eyes : Swatches & Review<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Back on track and ready for more indies! This week I'm going to be talking about <a href="http://www.glamourdolleyes.com/" target="_blank">Glamour Doll Eyes</a>, who I've actually had experience with in the past. Many moons ago, I used to be subscribed to their OTM service, where they would send you an exclusive color each month for a set price. I didn't know much about indies back then and I definitely didn't know how to apply them, so I got those few months of colors and had no idea what to do with them. So, when I saw on Reddit that the owner, Vee, was offering shadows for review, I snapped up the opportunity. After a few emails back and forth (and a few days), I got a little bubble mailer filled with my eye shadow choices. As always, this review is my honest opinion and I received no compensation for my opinions on these shadows!</div>

The shadows I chose were Vulnerable, Bittersweet, Oddity, Mushroom, Just Bitten, and Brown Eyed Girl. Glamour Doll Eyes sells unblended eye shadows, which means that they aren't unique to GDE, but I chose six shadows that <b><i>are</i></b> unique to GDE. I swatched all of these shadows of NYX Milk Jumbo Eye Pencil (just to switch things up) and they all stuck to it very well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All of the shades were accurate to what I saw in the pot and the only color that wasn't at full opacity immediately was Vulnerable, but it was still fairly opaque. Applying the colors to swatch was a breeze, but they are also really easy to apply to the eye. Perhaps I was just more careful this time, but I didn't feel like there was a massive amount of fall out with these shadows while applying, but there was definitely some (just like with most loose shadow). Having worn these shadows for the past few days, I can say that they do last all day with a primer underneath and can last through an entire soccer game. The only negative thing that I have to say about them, and it's hardly a negative, is that you must absolutely use a sticky base for these to adhere to. Like I said, that's hardly a negative, especially with loose shadow, but it is necessary with these to get decent pigmentation.</div>

Vulnerable is a warm, peachy champagne shade that works really well as a brow and inner corner highlight. If you also wanted a very neutral, subtle eyeshadow, you could just sweep this over the lid.</div>

Ok, this isn't indie makeup, but let's take a quick break for today and talk about some brushes. I did not find out about Zoeva brushes on my own, my friend over at <a href="http://pigmentedlips.com/" target="_blank">Pigmented Lips</a> actually told me about them many months ago. So what stopped me from ordering before now? Are they insanely expensive? No. Do they look like bad quality? No. So what was it?! It's the fact that this company is based in Germany and shipping is $18. I didn't want to get a huge order since I wasn't familiar with the quality of the brushes, so a few Reddit friends and I decided to do a large order all together to help minimize shipping costs. After sitting in customs (thanks DHL!) for what seemed like an interminable amount of time, they finally arrived to our "mule" who then turned around and shipped them to us. I got five brushes total; a buffer, a luxe highlight, an eye blender, a luxe crease blender, and a brow line brush.</div>

First and foremost, every brush comes in its own little zip slide bag which is made of plastic. The backside has the name and number of the brush in case you want to continue to store your brushes in their little homes.</div>

<u style="font-weight: bold;">#104 Buffer:</u> This brush is pretty much like a million other brushes out on the market, but believe it or not, I did not own one that was this exact shape. I have a buffer from Coastal Scents that is a bit longer and some from Sonia Kashuk that are much shorter, but none this is exact size and height. I'd be lying to you if I didn't say that I bought this because it looked really similar to the Sigma F80. I absolutely adore this brush and it was the first one the I busted out to use. I've used it with liquid and with mineral foundation and it works amazingly for both types of foundation. The bristles are dense, but not so dense that it makes the brush impossible to clean (I'm looking at you Real Techniques Expert Face Brush). It distributes foundation evenly on the face and the length of the bristles are perfect for a nice, even finish. I can see myself ordering another one of these as a backup when I'm too lazy to wash my brushes. This brush is synthetic.</div>

<u style="font-weight: bold;">#105 Luxe Highlight Brush:</u> Another brush that I bought because it looked similar to something else! If you saw my LA Haul post, then you would have seen a Hakuhodo brush that I bought that looks extremely similar to this; the<a href="http://www.hakuhodousa.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_7&products_id=282" target="_blank"> B5521</a>. So... seeing as how the Zoeva brush was only $13 and the Hakuhodo was $34, I thought that I would try this one out. The Zoeva is almost the exact same size as the Hakuhodo, which I was pleasantly surprised with since it's honestly the best size highlighting brush for my face. The #105 is a great brush, but it isn't as good as my Hakuhodo. The reason that it is similar but not as good is due to one major thing; the type of hair used to create the brush. Zoeva says that their brush is a blend of natural and synthetic hair, but doesn't specify the type of hair. If I had to guess what it is, I would say that it's most likely goat. The brush just feels a bit too dense to me and that's the only thing that bothers me. Since it's meant to be a highlighting brush, I feel like it needs to be a bit lighter and fluffier to distribute a more diffused higlight. That's my preference however and you readers might prefer a more dense brush! Regardless of that incredibly long side mention, the brush is still awesome and if you don't have $34 to drop on a single brush, this would make a good, affordable replacement.</div>

<u style="font-weight: bold;">#225 Eye Blender:</u> This was a brush that I was really on the fence about getting, but that I'm ultimately really happy to I decided to pick up. I have some sort of weird aversion to anything that is even remotely shaped like a pencil brush because I have a MAC pencil brush that is horrible and scratchy and scarred me forever. Also, the fact that this brush is brown and makes me think of pony hair just brings back bad memories of scratchy brushes. The bristles on this are actually squirrel, but it still surprised me by how soft it was. It's not soft in the sense that it feels like you're rubbing stuffed animals on your face, but it's definitely soft for being a tightly packed, dense brush. This guy holds his shape, but also allows for really great blending in the outer corner of the eye socket. I haven't used it under the eye yet, but I think that it will also work perfectly for create a smoked out effect! When I place another order, I will most likely get another one of these.</div>

<u style="font-weight: bold;">#227 Luxe Soft Definer:</u> I have to laugh a little bit since I think that this is the fourth brush that I've shown you guys that looks like this. I'm pretty sure my first review on one of these brushes was a Sigma E25, then the Coastal Scents Pro Fluff brush, and then the<a href="http://www.hakuhodousa.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_23&products_id=403" target="_blank"> Hakuhodo J5523</a>. Well, guess what, here's another white, fluffy, all over, jack of all trades kind of brush. I'm just obsessed with these kinds of brushes and I love comparing them to one another. I don't own a MAC 217, mostly because I kind of refuse to buy any brushes from MAC (it's a weird thing, don't even ask), so I can't compare this to that. I can, however, compare this to the other brushes that I own and I can say that it definitely falls right below the Hakuhodo J5523. The Zoeva brush was a bit odd feeling when I first got it, but after a wash, it was luxuriously soft and wonderful. Both the Hakuhodo and the Zoeva are made of goat hair and honestly, I think that the only difference between the two is probably how they're made; the Hakuhodo being hand made and the Zoeva... presumably machine made. It blends and applies shadows like a dream, so this will definitely be purchased again (and again and again?).</div>

<u style="font-weight: bold;">#322 Brow Line Brush:</u> I think my reasoning behind this brush is seriously flawed, but it happened to work out perfectly for me, so I'll tell you what it was. I bought Anastasia Dip Brow a while back, used it once, and then never used it again. I really hated how it applied with an angled liner brush and even though I knew there had to be a better way to apply it, I just didn't want to look for it. Well, along came this brush and I knew as soon as I saw it that I needed to have it. It may just look like an angled liner brush, but it's broader, shorter, and better packed than any liner brush I own. Honestly, I think that this brush is probably the best thing out there for Dip Brow since you can literally line the length of your eyebrow and drag the color down into the brow all in a simple flick of the wrist. I am in love with this brush. I want to marry it. It's so simple and easy that I don't understand why they're aren't a whole lot more that look like this. This brush is synthetic.</div>

I don't know if I just lucked out with the brushes that I ordered, but I'm going to say that Zoeva is stepping up in the world of affordable makeup brushes. The quality of these brushes is great and they all retained their shape and softness even after washing. Everything works exactly as it should and even though that highlighting brush is a little dense, I'd definitely still recommend it to people. I've already started planning my next purchase from Zoeva and I think that you should be too.</div>

A quick break from eye shadows and blushes to bring you an indie lipstick company; <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LimnitLipsticks" target="_blank">Limnit Lipsticks</a>. I found out about Limnit a few months ago when I was on an intense search for a gray lipstick and could only find <b>one</b> that I liked on the entire world of the internet. Somehow, I stumbled upon Trina's (the owner of Limnit) shop on Etsy and discovered a whole new world of colors. I ended up waiting to place an order and then Trina closed up shop for a bit, but when she reopened near the end of June, I immediately placed an order. I kid you not, I sat on Facebook waiting for her to make the announcement that the store was open again and then poured over the new colors that she had created and carefully thought out what I wanted. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I ended up buying three small pots of color, but you can also get full sized tubes if that's what you prefer. I actually prefer applying lipstick with a brush, so the pots of color are great for me. Unfortunately, Trina does not have the full sized tubes in her shop right now (they'll be returning, don't worry), but she does have pots of all of the colors available for $4.60/each.</div>

Trina includes a small postcard in the order that explains how to get the best results from your Limnit lipsticks and also includes information on how to mattify the shades, how to remove them, and also how to store them. I think that this little information card is a fantastic idea since some products really do require a bit more attention and it's better to know all of that upfront.</div>

<b>Abracadabra</b> is a warm toned mid range purple. I have included both indoor lighting and outdoor lighting so that you can see how these lipsticks look under different lighting circumstances. The outdoor lighting is the most accurate for the shades, but I thought I would include both just so that you can see the difference that lighting makes.</div>

The lipstick applied smoothly with my lip brush, but took a tiny bit of work to make sure that it wasn't patchy. In the realm of all lipsticks of the world, this was very easy to apply but in the realm of the lipsticks that I received from Limnit, this was the most difficult of the four. Once I got it on my lips and how I wanted, it was very pretty and I like the color quite a bit. I think it might be fun to pick up Bewitching Hour and mix these two shades together to create an awesome blue-violet!</div>

<b>Goodness Graycious</b> is a warm toned, darker gray color. This is what originally led me to Limnit, gray lipstick! Although this isn't the actual shade of gray that was looking for, when I saw this color, I knew that I needed to have it. There's something almost kind of taupe colored about this lipstick, but not so taupe that it ends up looking like something out of 90s George Michael music video. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The application of Goodness Graycious was amazing. It is so pigmented and so smooth that it just glided on like a dream. Sometimes, incredibly smooth lipsticks can get streaky and weird, but not this one; just absolutely wonderful to put on.</div>

<b>League of my Own </b>is a cool toned aqua green shade. So, I have a bit of a mild obsession with "odd" lip colors, so I pretty much had to purchase this shade. I try to steer away from light colored options of fun lipsticks, but since this one is so deep, I went with it. Ignore that patch near the center of my mouth, that was bad application on my part!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
League of my Own is just like Goodness Graycious in that it applies wonderfully. However, if possible, I think that League of my Own is even more pigmented than Goodness Graycious. I had to put almost no effort into getting the rich opacity that is seen in the above pictures; totally awesome.</div>

<b>Olly Olly Oxen Free</b> is a rich, deep berry toned burgundy shade (how do you like all of the adjectives?). Pardon my language, but holy fuck, this shade is incredibly and I can see myself wearing it a ton in the fall and winter. The shade is something that most companies often attempt, but fail at making. If I could marry a shade of lipstick, this would be it. It's amazing; insanely pigmented and just glides onto the lips with zero patchiness or streakiness.</div>

Only one word of warning with Olly Olly Oxen Free; this will stain your lips like whoa. I only had this shade on for about an hour and it left a stain on my lips for the entire next day. I'm sure if I had scrubbed and worked at it a bit, I could have gotten the stain off, but the color that it stained my lips was so pretty that I just put lip balm over the top and called it a day.</div>

So... did I convince you to buy some lipstick? Honestly, diving into the world of indie cosmetics has been a bit overwhelming because it was something that I knew very little about, but it has been beyond rewarding. I have not had a single bad experience (yet? knock on wood?) and all of the owners of these companies have been amazingly kind and awesome. Trina at Limnit makes some of the most amazingly pigmented and smooth lipsticks that I've ever worn on my mouth and she carries "normal" colors as well as some more off the wall shades. I highly recommend that you pick them up!</div>

I've realized that at the pace that I'm moving, my indie obsession "month" is going to turn into more of an indie obsession two months. I looked at what I still have yet to receive in the mail and what I still need to swatch at my house and it's... a lot. Regardless, today I'm going to be talking about <a href="http://fyrinnae.com/" target="_blank">Fyrinnae</a>! Back before I had ever even heard of Reddit or the indie makeup community, I had heard about two indie companies; Shiro (which I have coming up, it's just going to take a <i>long</i> time to do swatches) and Fyrinnae.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To be honest, Fyrinnae's website put me off and I held back from ordering for a very long time; I guess I'm just a really visual person and I couldn't get past the web design for a while. However, I eventually got over it and after seeing so many beautiful shadows, I had to place an order. You guys, you guys; don't be like me, don't let the website deter you from ordering. These shadows are seriously amazing quality and applying beautifully. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The pictures above are from my first order, however the swatches include a few more shadows since I placed a second order not too long after the first. I also ordered some lip lustres and their Pixie Epoxy, but those items are going to receive their own posts, so I'm only focusing on the shadows (and two blushes) at this point.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I do have a few individual comments for certain shadows, but I can honestly kind of do a lump review because the quality of every shadow is so similar that they all fall under this umbrella. Typically speaking, loose powder shadows are very powdery; I think that idea kind of goes without saying, but Fyrinnae's shadows aren't like that. They did a reformulation of their shadows in early 2013, so I can't compare the old and new formulas, but the new are much more of a semi-loose shadow. Fyrinnae writes on their website that there might be some clumps in the shadow due to this and that's definitely true, but you can just the blunt end of your brushes to break them up and then they become perfectly useable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Every single one of their shadows that I own is buttery and smooth and insanely pigmented; more pigmented than any other indie shadow and maybe all of the other shadows that I own. I kid you not. I can literally dip my little finger in the powder and swipe it down my arm and get full pigmentation. While it's an undeniable fact that all the shimmery shadows look better on top of their Pixie Epoxy, I can get full pigmentation with just plain old primer underneath. I don't really know what I was expecting when I purchased these, but whatever it was it was completely blown out of the water.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Before I get to swatches, I just want to tell you that no matter how nice the shadows might look in photos, they look 1000x better in real life. The beauty and complexity in these shadows is so incredibly hard to photograph, but I tried my best. And my last words before showing you the swatches are these: <b>if you love eyeshadow and you love complex, amazing colors, then <i>buy some Fyrinnae shadows!</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ok, now to the swatches.</div>

I'm really sad about these photos for one huge reason: Mephisto. I <i style="font-weight: bold;">could not</i> get Mephisto to photograph true to itself! Remember Blue Flame from the Darling Girl post? Mephisto is basically the evil twin of Blue Flame... Mephisto having a navy base with a red overlay/shift. Essentially, what I'm trying to tell you is that I'm a horrible person and I couldn't get Mephisto to show its majestic-ness in these photos. Sorry. It's awesome though, believe me.</div>

This was my favorite set of shadows to swatch! Sake & Sashimi actually has green sparks in it which makes it unexpectedly awesome, in my opinion. Do you see that reddish shift in Serendipity? Seriously, to die for; I would sell my first born for that. My absolute favorite shadow from this set is Velveteen Werewolf, which is actually part of their Arcane Magic collection (it has its own section on the website, make sure to visit it). I can't even put into words why I like Velveteen Werewolf so much other than it's fucking gorgeous, so there. </div>

Greek Goddess and Royalty are both blushes; yup, that lovely purple shade is blush. I got a purple blush last year with the Creme de Couture collection from Sigma and I kind of fell in love with it. I've been wanting something that is more purple and less Lavender, so I decided to pick up Royalty. The swatches that I did are several swipes of the product, so unless I pile it on my face, it won't be that dark when I wear it. Greek Goddess has a bit of shimmer, but Royalty does not, so any shimmer showing up is just fallout from something else.</div>

And then there is this gorgeous bad boy. I'm an idiot and tried to swatch this over Pixie Epoxy, which was incredibly stupid. Pixie Epoxy is specifically made for shimmer and glitter shadows, not matte shadows (which is what Inappropriate Popsicles is). I couldn't get a good swatch of this shadow, but I'll try to incorporate it into an eye look so that you can see what it looks like!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And that's that! Like I said above, I'm going to do a separate post for the Lip Lustres and Pixie Epoxy, but if you're curious, I've posted some swatches on my instagram (link on the right side of this page!). Questions or comments? Let me know down below!</div>

Hello again! I meant to have this post up yesterday, but I got a lovely soccer related injury and spent the rest of my night resting (and icing and compression and elevation) and attempting to find a pair of crutches. Crutches have been acquired, so now I can finally get this post up! The next in my indie obsession month is <a href="http://www.darlinggirlcosmetics.com/" target="_blank">Darling Girl Cosmetics</a>. Darling Girl is an indie shop that is based out of Houston, TX and can lay claim to having an extremely popular item: The Darling Girl Glitter Glue. I did not get that in my order, but it's basically just as popular as Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy (which I will actually get around to writing about one of these days, I have so many more blog posts to do for Indie month... it's kind of ridiculous). </div>

For this order, I picked up their offering of the blogger pack. The blogger pack comes with one petite eye shadow and four sample baggies, but I believe that I also got a GWP and another little free sample baggie (and stickers!). The shades that I ordered were Persuasion, Beast, Frankenstein, Ruby Soho, and Blue Flame; the shades that were free were Wackadoodle and Mischievous. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, as I've stated with the other indie reviews, shipping times really vary from company to company. However, every <i>good</i> company should have a stated TAT (turn around time) on their home page or on the order page. Darling Girl has a TAT of 18-20 days and my order took those 18-20 days, but it's a one woman show over there, so it's not something of concern for me. </div>

The shadows all apply very nicely and the only one that isn't extremely pigmented is Wackadoodle, but I'm 99% sure that it is meant to be a sheer (or at least, MORE sheer) shade. When I applied it to my eyes, I put it over a sticky bronze base and it look fantastic over that. I don't know if you guys are as in love with Blue Flame as I am, but I kind of want to drown myself in the color. I mean really, how gorgeous is that?? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The only thing that is a bit irritating to me is that Beast and Frankenstein look almost identical. It's probably not as obvious in the photos, but in real life, I can't tell the samples apart and when I put them on my arm, I wasn't completely sure that I hadn't swatched the same thing twice. I had to go back and swatch them on my other arm just to make sure... Their descriptions don't sound that similar online either; <b>Beast</b>: <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Midtonal grey brown with red sheen and gold iridescence and <b>Frankenstein</b>: </span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Murky greyish green with strong copper shift. I don't mind all that much since these are samples, but I just found it odd that they are <b>so </b>similar.</span></span></div>

And the month of indies will continue on! I had an insane Fourth of July weekend and as such (and some seriously cloudy days beforehand), I did not get this out as soon as I was planning. However, with great pleasure, I bring you another indie company: <a href="http://www.hellowafflecosmetics.com/" target="_blank">Hello Waffle</a>. I do feel a bit bad with the timing of this post since Christine, the owner, has had to close down her shop due to an upcoming move. <b>However</b>, she will be open again in mid August and I will post about her company again then so as to keep you all aware of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, Hello Waffle... If you're wondering where the name comes from, Waffle is the name of Christine's cat and she has a cute little description on her website about it, "<span style="background-color: white; color: #6e676f; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18.996000289916992px;">This shop is named after my amazing cat Waffle whom I've had since he was 9 weeks old. The phrase 'Hello Waffle' is commonly said around my household as he likes to lurk around corners and scare you when you least expect it. I specialize in making collections based off fairytales because everyone loves a great story. " </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.996000289916992px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello Waffle is based out of Canada, which is fairly unique for the indie community. Alas, Christine manages to get orders sent out incredibly quickly and they're well (and cutely) packed. I placed my order on June 6th, during one of her flash sales, and it still managed to arrive by June 21st.... from Canada. That's pretty damn speedy if you ask me!</span></span></div>

For your sake, and mine, I ordered the Blogger Pack, which has slightly changed since the time that I ordered. When I ordered, the blogger pack included two full sized shadows, ten sample packs, one full sized blush, one sample blush, two sample lip balms, and one full sized lip balm. I will explain why there's a difference later on in this post, but currently Christine is not offering the lip balms. There was also a free GWP when I placed my order, a choice of two shades, and I picked up Corgi Butts! The shades that I got for my blogger pack were as follows: Kai, Hot Cross Bunnies, Mad, Dormouse, Gryphon, Cravings, Enchantress, Escape, Ethereal, Fey, Golden Stairs, and Wastelands (all eye shadows); Golden Veil Highlighter, Bubblegum blush, and Ginger Kitties, Orchid, and Vamp lip balms.</div>

Christine included a note on my order letting me know that she was out of several of the sample sizes, so she threw in a few full sizes instead (which was awesome!). Along with my blogger pack, I also ordered samples of Snow Bees, Arendelle, and Sloth... because one can never have enough eye shadow. If I had really been thinking, I would have ordered more blush samples, but I think I got too excited and forgot. If I haven't already mentioned how much of a love affair I have going on with Hello Waffle and, more explicitly, Christine, she wrote a really sweet little note on my order form for me! </div>

Now, without further ado, let's get to the damn swatches. Just like last time, I shot the swatches in three different types of light so that you can see how they translate. I'm roughly a NC15 skin tone (maybe more like NC13 in winter), so keep that in mind as well. All of the swatches, aside from the blush and highlighter were done on top of Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy.</div>

All of these colors swatched so beautifully! It's a shame that Snow Bees kinds of disappears into my skin in these pictures, but in real life, it was a wonderful highly shimmery highlight shade with a bit of gold to it. With all of these shadows, and with almost all indies, they do work better with a slightly sticky base underneath them. They will show up without the base, but you aren't going to get the full spectrum of awesome.</div>

And last, but not least, the swatches of the lip balms. I have no idea where I have placed Ginger Kitties, which makes me incredibly sad since it is such a pretty color, but that's also the reason why there is no swatch of it. I was wearing it in my last FOTD if you want to check that out. I said that I would explain later why Christine is not carrying her lip balms right now. There were some reviews that stated that the lip balms were feeling very gritty and not satisfied with that, Christine decided to pull them until she can come up with a better formula. I do have to say that my balms a bit gritty, but Orchid and Ginger Kitties aren't that bad. Vamp is much gritter than the other two and as a result, didn't apply nearly as evenly. All of the colors are gorgeous though, so I'm excited for them to become available again.</div>

So what do I think of Hello Waffle? I'm kind of, moderately, ok... emphatically, in love with Hello Waffle. I love the products, I love the names of the products, I love Christine's customer service, and I love that she's incredibly active on Facebook and (...more importantly, let's face it) Reddit. She is always answering questions and offering little peeks into the life of an indie creator. Long story short, Hello Waffle is amazing and I definitely encourage <b>all of you</b> to place an order when she reopens in August!</div>

Hello everyone! I know, it's been a bit since my last post, but I'm back. Over the past few weeks, I've been getting really interested in indie brands of cosmetics and places a whole bunch of orders to try some things out. If you've been a reader since last year, then you may remember that I've already dabbled in the indie realm when I placed a large order of <a href="http://shirocosmetics.com/">Shiro Cosmetics</a> samples. I don't know what sparked my interest in indies again, but I'm so glad that it happened! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I've already received products from three companies and I have four more orders on their way (one of which is from Shiro :D). One of the best things about the indie community is that the store owners realize that their customers may want to sample a product before buying a full size, so most companies offer sample or trial sizes of their products. For the majority of my orders, I only ordered sample sizes or did a "blogger pack" so that I was able to inform you guys about the products. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First up on the chopping block is <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ScaredyCatCosmetics">Scaredy Cat Cosmetics</a> which is actually based out of Kansas City (and I am too), so I got my order incredibly quickly. That is actually something to note about indie makeup; most of the companies are owned by people who work <b>another</b> job; this means that you might have to wait a few weeks for an order. Regardless, Scaredy Cat is literally about 15 minutes from my house, so it was like next day shipping on my order. I ordered a ten pack of the trial vials and got the colors below.</div>

There was a slight problem with my first order due to a printer mishap, so Kelly, the owner, sent me the correct items with some extra vials!</div>

In the indie industry, you see a lot of product measurements; things like a sample being an eighth of a teaspoon or a mini jar having a fourth, etc, etc. Scaredy Cat's trial vials don't have any exact measurements, but they are filled to the brim with product and considering that they're a buck a piece, it's pretty generous. The vials, while amazingly cute, do prove to be a bit inconvenient since you can't get a brush in them. This is perfectly fine by me since I do plan on pressing these into solid shadows, but for those of you who prefer loose will need to get a bigger mouthed container to transfer these into.</div>

The shadows are all gorgeous, but vary a bit in their opacity. I applied these all over a matte Maybelline Color Tattoo (I can <b>never</b> remember the name of it) but will continue to experiment with bases for these. As I'm diving deeper into this crazy world of indie makeup and the beautiful sparkly shades that are created, I have begun to realize that I need to buy a full size Pixie Epoxy from Fyrinnae or something similar from E.L.F.</div>

The colors that needed the most help getting up to a full pigmentation were Hera and Smooze, everything else got fairly opaque very easily. I think that Hera would really benefit from a stickier base like Pixie Epoxy or Darling Girl's Glitter Glue. My favorite shades out of the all of them are Bacchus, Rose Gold, Phoenix Tears, and Sakura but don't let that fool you into thinking that I don't like the rest; I've got a pretty big hard on for all of the shades.</div>

And there you have it. I have used these shadows on my eyes which is also what swayed my "favorites" :) If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!</div>

After my month and a half sabbatical (that's just what we're going to call it since it sounds better than the word "break"... and I <i>was</i> doing lots of makeup research i.e. playing with makeup), I'm back and ready to go again. I am going to slow down on the frequency of posting and I'm hoping to get more tutorials up rather than product reviews. As I mentioned in my previous post, buying all of that makeup was costing a lot and I ended up with a collection so big that there's literally no way that I can use it all. Saying that, this post is going to seem quite contradictory, but this was my last big makeup haul and it was a doozy. Fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ride.<br />

Unless you have never read my blog before, then you know that I went to Los Angeles at the end of April for a completely makeup based trip. My friend and I literally planned an entire trip around going to the Hakuhodo show room and a Burberry counter (there are something like 12 Burberry counters in the entire US and, surprise, surprise, Kansas City does <b>not</b> have one of them). This is simply a haul post; no swatches, no reviews, just showing you what I purchased. I do plan on getting swatches up of everything that I purchased, but for the time being, this is pure, unadulterated product goodness. Enjoy!</div>

And there you have it! For the record, I have been using my Hakuhodo brushes pretty much every day and I can safely say that these brushes are worth every penny. If you have any desire to up your brush game, you should definitely check out the <a href="http://www.hakuhodousa.com/">Hakuhodo site</a> and invest in some nice things (shipping is $9, so make sure that your order makes it worth it).</div>

My last post was <i>almost</i> a month ago and it was to tell you that I wouldn't be posting while I was getting ready for my LA trip. I did go to LA, I had a wonderful time, and I came back and started taking photos to show you all what I had gotten. I did all of the work and I'll post that later today or perhaps in a few more days, but while I was doing all that work, something struck me; it felt like work. I never want this blog to feel like work to me and unfortunately, it had become that.<br />
<br />
If you don't know me in real life or even if you do, but maybe not all that well, I'm a product photographer. I spend my days, Monday through Friday, behind a camera. Sometimes, at the end of the day, the very last thing that I want to do is pick up the camera again and start taking photos of products... which is what I was doing for this blog. A lot of the time, I was forcing myself to do the work even though I really didn't want. All I wanted to do was go home, turn on Buffy, and zone out; but there I was, making myself work on the blog when I didn't want to. Due to that, I was starting to get resentful of something that I had created.<br />
<br />
Since I was feeling so strongly about it, I decided to take a step back for a bit. This last month has been pretty great and I honestly haven't missed blogging all that much. However, there are small parts of me that think "Oh, that would be great for the blog!", which means that there is still something inside that wants to blog. I'm probably going to stop doing so many product reviews, which might strike you as bad news, but I just can't keep up with all the new products coming out. It costs a lot of money to constantly be buying the "new thing" and then end up never using it again. My personal makeup collection is completely out of control and until I get that back to a manageable size, I'm not letting myself purchase more than one makeup item per month.<br />
<br />
I'm also going to venture into YouTube a lot more since I find it easier to film videos than to write a blog post (which seems completely backward to me, but it's how my brain works). I want to do more to show you how to use makeup rather than just talk about it and review it for you. I'll still do product reviews from time to time, but they aren't going to be a weekly thing.<br />
<br />
I wanted to let all of you readers know where I've been and why I haven't been posting this last month. Get ready for some new posts in the next few weeks and keep an eye on my YouTube channel for update. Love you all!<br />

<br />
As you've probably noticed, I haven't posted anything this week. I'm pretty bogged down right now since I'm getting ready for a trip to LA. There won't be any posts this week, but I will be back to normal posting next week.<br />
<br />
After my post on the Chikuhodo brushes, I got some feedback on the high cost of the brushes. It's one of those things that can be hard to explain unless you know how brushes are manufactured and what they are made out of. Most of your everyday, run of the mill brushes are made in mass production with synthetic, pony, or goat hair (goat is usually nicer and therefore more expensive). In mass production like this, the bristles are cut to create a uniform shape, which can result in a rougher brush. Even if the bristles are laser cut, it still isn't as nice as a completely cut free brush. I thought I would post a link to a Beautylish article about how Wayne Goss' brushes are made. They're also made in Kumano, where Chikuhodo is made (I think that Chikuhodo might make Wayne Goss' brushes, but don't quote me on that), so this gives a pretty nice little idea of the work that goes into these handmade brushes. <a href="http://www.beautylish.com/b/wayne-goss/how-its-made">Check it out here.</a><br />
<br />
That's all I've got for the time being and I'll see you guys next week!<br />

We had a employee appreciation day at work yesterday and when I got home, I immediately passed out for a few hours and then had a LA trip meeting with my friend. I had zero time yesterday, but I still hope to get a post up for "tried & true" at some point this weekend (I'll be in the car for two hours on Sunday, so that seems like a good time!). Also, if you follow me on social media, then you might have seen that my hair has changed, quite drastically! I'm fairly blonde now (if you haven't already looked at the pictures below...) with some massive dark roots. For those of you who don't know me in real life, I kind of love punk and grunge influences, so I decided to just go for it with the hair. I haven't done anything to my hair in three years, so it felt like it was time to switch it up. In fact, I'm thinking about doing a wash out pink for Easter and if I do, I'll post it on my Instagram (the link for that is juuuust to your right, follow me for fun!). Anyhow, on to my face for today!<br />

These photos turned out fairly yellow and while I could have tinted them, I didn't. My hair isn't quite as brassy looking as it is in these photos, but it is a mix of ash and more golden blonde.</div>
