Kiss My Sass Cosmetics Swatches

Hi all!

These are some colors from Kiss My Sass I thought I should re-swatch. I made my last purchase over a year ago and if you'd like to see that review and some of my older swatches, go HERE. I will be re-swatching all of the colors I currently have soon.

Kiss My Sass is definitely a company you should check out if you haven't. I never had any issues with any of my purchases and I've never heard/seen any negative feedback about the company. Each color I have is excellent with color payoff and quality.

All eyeshadow is swatched over LA Splash Eyeshadow Sealer/Base.


Sailors Kiss- "vibrant blue with gold sparkles"

Boardwalk-"taupe with violet sparkles"

 Tidal Wave-"deep turquoise with subtle silver shimmer"

 Sleepy Hollow-"charcoal gray with a copper sheen"

 Broken Hearted-"intense pinky-red with gold shimmer"
*This color does lean towards a pinky-red instead of of a bold red.*



Love The Way You Lie-"deep blue with a few red sparkles"

 Night Elf-"deep blue-violet with a pink interference and violet shimmer"

 Nude Beach-"pinky-tan with a few pink sparkles"

 Metamorphosis-"blue with a golden sheen"

Spellbound-"muted purple with a green shimmer"


If you'd like to purchase any of these colors along with MANY more as well as blushes, lip products, etc. you can find them HERE!

Tick:Tock Cosmetics Swatches

Hi All!

This is my first order with Tick:Tock Cosmetics! Well, actually I had mentioned I wanted to try this company and my wonderful boyfriend surprised me with a sample grab bag. He can be awesome sometimes, but only sometimes (just joking!).

Since my boyfriend ordered for me I didn't deal with the checkout process, but he did let me know right after he had made a purchase. He had chosen the Golden Sample Goodie Bag and it shipped out within a day or so. Within the sample bag you get 3 random samples and 2 free samples. Pretty great! It was all packed nice and neatly within the golden sachet baggie. Samples were packaged in zip-lock baggies and labeled with the company name, product name and ingredients. 

I had absolutely no issues with application and I found them to be very smooth, silky and pigmented. I actually really liked all the colors that were chosen. I may make another order soon!

All of Tick:Tock Cosmetics products are vegan and cruelty-free! So that's another plus!

All swatches are over LA Splash Eyeshadow Sealer/Base. 


Cuckoo- "Cuckoo is a medium teal with light blue and purple shimmer."

 Never Sleep Again- "Inspired by Nightmare on Elm Street, Never Sleep Again is a bright medium rose base that lights up with a green shift and rosy sparkle."

Leap Year- "A light pastel yellow with gold and green glitter."

I <3 U 4EVA- "A fun, funky purple/silver with a strong green shift."

 Time Turner- A dark brown/bronze with sparkles.



I love all the different finishes of these colors. I need to pick up a full size of Cuckoo and I <3 U 4EVA. I do not see Time Turner listed on the website, sadly. I do not know for sure if this color has been discontinued or not. I just received my order within the last month, so it may just be a random color thrown in? Not sure. Leap Year and Never Sleep Again are in the Last Chance section, so they will be going away quickly. If you'd like to pick them up, I'd suggest doing so quickly!

All products can be found at Tick:Tock Cosmetics Website.

An Update: Life!

Hi Everyone!

Sorry I haven't been around much! I recently found out that I'm pregnant with my first child! It's SOOO exciting! I'm still in my first trimester, so I have a while to go until my baby is here. I had been dealing with horrible morning sickness for about a month, but it has gotten better for the most part.

I realize I haven't posted Part 3 of my Dawn Eyes swatches. I'm going to try my best to have them up within the next few days. It seems like every time I say I'm going to do something blog related I jinx myself and I'm sick for a few days. Blah. But I promise it will be up!

I have some eyeshadow I completely forgot to swatch when I got it a while back and recently found those again, so I will have those up eventually.

I've been thinking about my blogs a lot and what new stuff to add. I may start adding reviews of products I love or hate. I've also thought about re-doing some of my older swatches. I hate looking back at them sometimes! I know people from all over the world see them since the colors are still being sold, so I'll hopefully be re-swatching those. Also, thoughts on makeup looks? Maybe just the eyes for now? I'm not the greatest with eye looks, but practice makes perfect!

I think this is all for now! I'm so excited for the future! Thanks for being followers/fans/friends! I appreciate everything!

Dawn Eyes Cosmetics Swatches- Creep, Echo, etc. (Part 2)

These are more random swatches from my last order. You can see Part 1 HERE.

All are swatched over LA Splash Eyeshadow Sealer/Base.


Midnight Bloom- "Dark grey/black matte base has been turned into a blue/purple/pink shifting glitter powerhouse through the use of copious amounts of color shifting sparkle, primer truly should be used!" 

Firestarter-"Red base that glows with a copper satin overtone, sparkling with bright golden glitter and tiny pink sparks."

Creep-"Bright yellow/green with a shift in one direction to a nearly neon green and in the other to a coral, scattered with golden and blue sparks."
*I don't really see this as a neon green. Although it is a nice color.*

Green Gables-"Fresh green frost fancied up with golden glitter and laced with color-shifting glitter that ranges blue/purple/pink."
 
Own It!-"Incredibly lush purple base drenched in blue to purple to pink color-shifting glitter!"
 
Echo-"This mysterious color looks nearly taupe head on, but has strong shifts to pink and green, and loaded with silver glitter!"
 
Fresh-"Light pretty green with green sparks and red/gold color shifting glimmers."
 
Coraline-"Beautiful coral peach with a shift to a more orange coral, loaded with lovely pink to gold color-shifting sparkle!"
 
Sunkissed Cloud-"Rich red base with beautiful aqua to purple to pink color shifting overlay, glittering with gold and purple sparkle!"
 

 
 

I really love Midnight Bloom and Sunkissed Cloud. I'd really love to see Dawn make more color shifters/duochrome-y colors like Sunkissed Cloud. It's not glitter packed and it's just gorgeous in my opinion. I can't wait to see what she'll come up with next! I will have my last part (Part 3) up later this week!

Tequila Sunrise- "Lush orange base with a strong pink overtone, especially over primer, glistening with tiny silver stars."
