What Lovely Colors My friends - Package review from Dark Heart Designs Cosmetics

Hiya exceptionally special blog followers :)
I am here with you today to show off a package I just recently purchased from ( well 2 months ago just getting around to it though ;)) Dark Heart Designs . I have actually been a customer for over a year now, but also starting promoting for them last year as well, however that does not affect how I feel and giving my honest opinion.
 
Lets start with what I ordered shall we...

I think one of my favorite things that got me about this company to boot, was the makeup packaging. You can not see it here, but the full size jars come plastic sealed, red string attached with makeup ingredients. You also get a plantable thank you card. The name of the colors are on the bottom of each jar. The full size (pictured below) has the name and DHD on the sticker. These hold and mine always have from 1.75-2 grams of product stuffed inside :)
The sample size containers come in clamshells and have the name and ingredients on the bottom.

However I do believe now she packages your entire purchase and adds a "scroll" inside with the ingredients for full size containers, instead of tying little strings on each individual jar. Which to me is now a lot easier and less time consuming, untying all the little strings and pulling ingredients off :) But I did think that was adorable and drew me in..lol
The only thing I did not like was sifters inside, but they have now made the option to get them with or without, so my problem was solved.
 
And on with the swatches - It's my favorite part, so it must be yours..lol
NOTE: All swatches and photos have been taken with a flash by my window.
 
The first color I would like to share is Transparent
Store description: A medium to light natural brown shadow.
Inspired by Porcelain & The Tramps Transparent.

I would like to add that it also has a beautiful shimmer - it tends to give a gray looking hue as well, I guess depending on the lighting and photo.

 
Next one I will do is Carnival Queen
Store Description: A vibrant lemon yellow shadow with yellow sparkle. Inspired by my life in the carnival industry and the bright colors and beauty of the shows. I find this description very accurate.

 
This one is Absinthe
Store description: A bright cool-toned green shadow with a champagne sheen. Inspired by the liquor Absinthe, and the green fairy myth.
This color was a bit tricky to me to capture, this photo is with a flash, but without a flash it was quite a bit darker. I also like to use it with a foiling serum and it makes a gorgeous liner.

Okay and one of my favorite colors I'm going to show you is Shallow Grave
Store description: A medium brown shadow with red sparkle and red & green undertones.
This color sparkles like no other! for a brown/champagne color as I like to call it, it is stunning.

my next pick to show you is Wine red
Store description:
A burgundy wine colored shadow.
Inspired by the Hush Sound's Wine Red.

I find this to be between burgundy and rose colored with silver sparkle



This color is called Storybook
Store description: A pale rusty red with green sheen and aqua sparkle. Inspired by the popular new fairytale t.v. show, Once Upon A Time.


 
This color is called Pumpkin King
Store description: A dark orange/bronze shadow. Inspired by Tim Burton's Jack Skellington of The Nightmare Before Christmas.
I think the description matches, but more of a bronze then an orange with the flash on.

 
And last, but certainly not least I have here Strange Boy
Store description: A smokey forest green shadow with green sparkle and copper undertones.
I find this color to be more of an aqua color, than forest green, but none the less still gorgeous :)

 
Dark Heart Designs eyeshadows are smooth and blendable and I have a ton of them, but this was just a few I recently received, so I thought I would share :)
Almost everything that is sold is vegan and cruelty free, if there is a product that is not vegan, it is marked as so (which I think there is very few, like the reds).
 
I also as a consumer highly recommend this company.
They were having a bit of shipping delays during and from the holidays, but will be back on schedule very soon. Oh and if there is delays, the owner always contacts you to let you know, so I find that to be amazing customer service :)

Black Friday Makeup - Jesse's Girl Cosmetics Packaged arrived! Best Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner

Hiya! Okay I'm back and I received my Jesse's Girl Goodies!  I originally was making an order for the waterproof liner, that I absolutely fell in love with after getting it in my Ipsy bag a couple of months ago! Well I found a few more items really affordable and that I wanted to try out :)
 
Here is my total order
 


First we will start with the Waterproof liquid eyeliner in black - I personally think this is one of the best liquid liners I have ever used, and believe me, I have used A LOT ;) The first one I ever got was a freebie, but I started using it and couldn't stop, it lasted me almost 2 months and for $6.99 , you really can't beat that, right? Here is their information on this product.
Our unique Japanese calligraphy-style brush allows for precise, super-fine application that lets you create lines as small as one millimeter thickness! Combined with a formula that dries super-quick (for a waterproof, smudge-proof application), our liquid eyeliner glides on smoothly without tugging or pulling.

.017oz/5ml
Here is my hand swatch of it:

 
Next I will move on to the Formula 13 Lip gloss in Pina Colada
 
I have to say this lip gloss smells nothing like Pina Colada..lol..I am assuming it's called that just for the color of it. I suppose they should have explained it in more detail on the web-site, instead of product description just saying "9 grams". Other than that this is a nice gloss, it's not to sticky and has a nice white sheer color with a sparkling overlay. It however does not have great staying power. I put it on and took a drink and it was almost completely removed, but then again I really didn't expect it to, because of it's thinning consistency. But it really is a nice color to go over a dark lipstick or liner. I got this on sale for $2.50
 
Okay on to the next 2 liquid glass lip gloss

 
The names of these two are called Genesis and Blanc. I have to say I was not too impressed with the quality of these two glosses. They really have no staying power and when wiped off it leaves a sticky type residue..I guess on the upside it leaves lots of sparkles behind ;) Also Genesis looked like more of a bright orange on the web-site and really it's kind of peach-y with a slight orange undertone. I only paid $1.50 a piece for these on sale, so I'm sure I can get my money's worth out of them ;)
 
Any last but certainly not least the item I could not wait to try! In the mood color changing lipstick in the color Crush...
 
 
Well ladies or gents save your money on this one, it's definitely not as excited as I wanted it to be! I guess I had to high of expectations, because I use to LOVE the mood color changing lipstick when I was younger...It completely stained my hand and arm and really only slightly changed...I guess I was expecting more color or a darker pigment..lol...Good thing I got it for a $1.00 on sale as well...Looks like this will just be a tester for me :)
This photo is when it was first applied.
 
This photo is 15 minutes later (in hopes it was changing more, but not much more of a shift)
 
 
Well lovelies this concludes my most recent review on Jesse's Girl Goodies from Black Friday, hope you enjoyed. Any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to ask :)

Just Amazing Glowing Big Eye Circle Lenses from Uniqso

Hi everyone, I am here again to tell you about some amazing, beautiful, look like they are glowing contact lenses! I have received quite a few lenses from this amazing contact company called Uniqso ,and they have an amazing wide range of big eye circle lenses! If you have not tried them before, now here is your chance! Especially since Halloween is right around the corner, if you order them now, you will have them before the creepy holiday :)
 
Uniqso is based out of Malaysia so it tends to take between 2-3 weeks for shipping, sometimes sooner, but is always well worth the wait for the price of their beauties :) You can also get a special discount from me using code FbE and by clicking on the badge to the right >>>> of my page.
 
We lets get on to the beautiful lenses I received this month! The first pair I used is these stunning ice blue colored lenses called Dolly Eye Ice Melon Blue http://www.uniqso.com/big-eyes-circle-lenses/blue-circle-lenses/dolly-eye-ice-melon-blue and can be purchased at the provided link.
 I can not even begin to describe how beautiful these are especially against my green eyes.
 
 These were so comfortable I wore them around for over 5 hours with no dryness or irritation. The size and water content was perfect! Now here is a few makeup looks with them in :)

 
 
Now on to my absolute favorite pair! If you think that blue is beautiful, wait until you see the
the Dolly Eye Ice Melon Green lenses I received! They are great for Halloween as well, I did a creepy horror novel book look with mine, but the ideas can be endless for a great pair of green lenses.
 
 
I wore these a lot longer then the blue ice melon pictured above, because I was in love with color and vibrancy of the green, so I know these were comfy :) I showed these beauties off around town and was asked by many where they come from :) Here are the other photos I was talking about :)
 





 
Also have to give credit to the amazing makeup companies I am wearing, in the first photos with the Dolly Eye Ice melon Blue, I'm wearing My Beauty Addiction and in the photos with the Dolly Eye Ice Melon Green lenses, I am wearing Dark Heart Designs Cosmetics!

Sassy Chics Cosmetics Samples review

Hello lovelies, I'm back again with a review of Sassy Chic Cosmetics samples they sent me! This is a newer company I have noticed, that is based out of California. Their communication with me was superb and they are super nice :)
The company sent me very pretty colors. I only  just wish their would have been more shadow in the bags, as I do like to create more than one look when I receive shadows to review :) They have a really nice texture to them and the bright colors have great pigment. A few had a nice shimmer to them as well, and spread nice ad evenly. Here are the baggies I received.
 
 
They have a great variety of colors to choose from. The yellow (called sunshine) is a very bright yellow which appears to have silver reflects in it, that looks gorgeous on the eyes :) I would really love to see all of these colors in a matte with no shimmer..hint hint ;)
 
All in all I definitely give this company's shadows pictured here a thumbs up :) Like I said before my only complaint (and not really a complaint..lol)  is, I didn't have enough shadow sprinklets (not sure that's a word) lol. to do more than one look for them! But again a big thank you to Sass Chic Cosmetics for being so sweet and generous <3
 
Here is a look I did today using a few of the shadows....
 
Here is an eye swatch of the color Sonic (the blue) which I am proud to say she used the name I suggested or this color :)

Stay fabulous!
