Rockeresque Beauty Co. Mailday and Swatches!

I returned home from my lengthy (for me) vacation from the east coast to find my lovely Rockeresque Beauty Co. package in the mailbox! 

How cute are these?!

I ordered a Sunshine Meltown Mini (attempting to get colors I don't really have.. Though I am only fooling myself. I really do have more reds, oranges, and yellows than any girl needs (jk. We need every single shade. Fo' real doe.) In the set of Mini's comes 5 samples for only $7! I received samples of: Hollywood, Jack-O-Lantern, Ruby Doo, Chicklet, and Fear Of Sleep. I got a BONUS sample of "Icicle."

 I ordered full size jars of: Platinum Blonde, Peppermint Gummy Bear, Zombie Ballerina, Gingerbread Cookie, Hula Hoop and Tear Drop. 

I was really impressed with how the Makeup was packaged! I have ordered loose shadows from some other Indie Makeup brands in the past and they weren't sealed like this. They also had easily removable stickers over the top of the sifters. This was really nice because it didn't create a big ol' mess when I opened them to swatch. Which has happened to me before with other brands.

ONTO THE SWATCHES! :)

(All colors are swatched over a thin layer of NYX's White Shadow base)

They are super shimmer and glide on easily as anticipated. I haven't done any look's yet (slightly jet jagged from the trip) but knowing me I will feel the urge to really play with them before the night is over. Super excited to try them all. I've heard so much about "Peppermint Gummy Bear" I cannot wait to try it for myself.

I won't jump onto the rating scale just yet as I haven't worn them through a day of work or anything like that yet. But at this point SUPER impressed and already antsy to try more colors! 

The customer service they provide is lovely as well. A hand written Hello Kitty note, and the Minnie's come in a polka dotted box. Couldn't be any cuter!

From what I have heard and now seen from myself I don't expect to be disappointed.

Sugarpill HeartBreaker Palette REVIEW!

Oh Sugarpill. It's TRUE LOVE.

I have been a fan of SUGARPILL for a while now. I first purchased their SweetHeart Palette and I must say this has become a staple palette for me. I use the shadow "Tako" nearly every single day. I also adore "Dollipop" beyond no other. It's an amazing mid tone pink. LOVE. ANYWAY.

They recently launched the HeartBreaker Palette. I have been searching for ages for a great aqua color. "Mochi" fits the bill nicely. It's slightly darker than anticipated but over the right base (try NYX eyeshadow base in white.) It is perfection. I can't get enough of the purple shade called "2 a.m." "Velocity" is a staple electric blue and then there is "Acid Berry" like no other bright green shadow out there! Pretty much in love.. All over again?! 

ONTO THE LOOKS!

Lime Crime d'Antoinette Palette review!

In the past couple years I became Re-Obsessed with Make Up and kept hearing about how wonderful the brand LIME CRIME was. When I saw some swatches from the palette d'Antoinette that they had put out it seemed too good to be true! I have always been a lover of pastels but when it comes to make up.. Most pastels are usually too pale to see. I have tried many brands and usually resorted to blending brighter colors with a lighter shadow or pigment to create my own pastel shade. A friend of mine was kind enough to purchase the palette for me for my birthday. (Thank you Christa!)

Here are some photos:

And here is a look I did using all colors from the d'Antoinette palette as well as the amazingly adorable  liquid liner from Lime Crime "Blue Milk."

The thing I love most about this palette is that the colors are versatile. They can be put on lightly for just a hint of color or packed on for a darker shade. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this palette. It might just be pure make up love! 

Here are a few more looks I've done recently featuring colors from the d'Antoinette palette!!
