Wet n' Wild ColorIcon Palette- Lust

Hi Everyone!

I haven't disappeared! I've just been busy! Sorry!!

So I bought this a while back and I've tried to like it, I really have if you can't tell from all the uses this has gotten.  But it just won't live up to my standards and I really do not have high standards for things like this.

The top two colors are probably the best in my opinion (the light pink and white).  They cover and are not "splotchy" like the others.  It's hard to explain.  It's kind of like black or darker colors in eyeshadow, they tend not to blend easily or if you want them to look true to their color, you have to pack it on. Which I really don't like.



 (Left swatches over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Right are over no primer)



My palette looks horrible, I know. I think I had it in my makeup bag a little too long.  This does come with two brushes but I threw them out since I didn't like them at all.  I know there are other palettes in this collection so I'm going to find some and see if they are the same or not. I've seen other people with great success with this palette. Maybe mine was bad, I'm not sure.  I really want to try the other called "Pride" I love the colors in that one!

LA Colors Palettes- Circus and Ocean Breeze

Hi!

So I have two LA Colors palettes I bought.  One is Circus and the other is Ocean Breeze.  Overall, I like these palettes for the money.  I got them for $1.50 each, which isn't too bad.  I've yet to apply them to my eyes, but they were smooth and rich when I was swatching them.  I've applied them over NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk.

 Circus (Swatched the purple before I took this!)

 Ocean Breeze


Top is the Circus palette. Bottom is the Ocean Breeze palette.

They are both shimmery and sort of metallic, so if you like those types of eyeshadow, you should check these out.  The only thing I didn't like, and this is pretty minor, is with the Ocean Breeze palette, it seems like there is a little gold shimmery overlay on the colors, but once you swatch it or use it, it disappears. Overall this is pretty decent for the price and if you happen to like the colors, go for it!

You can find these palette and many more HERE.

More Madd Style Cosmetic Swatches

Yep, I placed another order a little while ago and I got these not too long ago.  Except this time I ordered 2 sample packs. Total: $9.25 that includes shipping.  I just can't get enough!! Also, these come in clam shell containers, but I find them to be a little messy, so I de-potted them into my own 3 gram jars for ease.  These are swatched over Urban Decay Primer Potion.

Madd Style Cosmetics Review and Swatches!

Hi Everyone!

So today I have for you the most awesome eyeshadow EVER. I mean it! Honestly, I never thought eyeshadow could get better, but I have found out that it can!

So, I bought a 5 sample pack from this company for $3.50 (my total came to $5.50 with shipping, how cheap is that!?) and I could choose from lots of different colors.  These are SO pigmented and gorgeous it is ridiculous! I'm totally buying more once I get the money. The samples come in little plastic clam shell containers that are FULL of product.  I was actually shocked how much product I got for the money. I could probably get, myself, about 10+ uses out of one container if I use it sparingly.  The eyeshadow is really easy to apply and it is soft and silky feeling. Not gritty at all like you may find in some other eyeshadows.

Anyway, here are the colors. Top row is swatched over NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk and the bottom has no base.

 (Colors from L to R: Dune Buggy, Fabby Lala, Lust for Life, Pisces, Disco Biscuit)

Hot Topic Duo Shadow-Hot Pink and Turquoise

Hi!

So I've had this shadow for a little while.  I never really used it but I don't know why. I'm not sure if Hot Topic still sells this exact one, but I'm sure you can pick up something similar from them in individual shades.

The product is easy to apply and not gritty.  My camera doesn't like to cooperate with me inside too well, so the shadow is a little brighter in person.

With the swatches, the top row is without primer and bottom row is with primer. I'm using Urban Decay Primer Potion.

LA Colors Shimmering Loose Eyeshadow

Hi!

I tried to post this yesterday, but Blogger was doing maintenance and wouldn't let me upload my photos! :( But here it is today!

This is LA Colors Shimmering Loose Eyeshadow.  These aren't all the colors, it's just the ones I could get at the time.  This product is actually pretty decent for the price.  I paid a dollar each at a discount store, so it's great for the the price.  This comes with a little brush, but I absolutely hate the brush.  In the picture below, that is the ONLY decent looking brush out of them all.  The rest are frayed and just horrible.  So if you're going to apply this, try to get a eyeshadow brush to fit into that or you can depot the eyeshadow and put them in your own containers so you do not have to use that brush (I'll post a video below of someone doing this; keep in mind this is not my video or me!).






You can find these colors and many more HERE.  They are also on sale for $1.50.
