Kiss My Sass Cosmetics Review

So first off I know I've been busy for awhile and I haven't been around. I've been going through a lot of changes in my life and have been working on getting things in order and get into a new swing. Today I have a review post for you. I purchased the items at a discount rate for the purpose of  review. The company is Kiss My Sass Cosmetics. I bought a review pack that included 10 samples of my choice. I also bought a few other samples.

First I am going to show you the eye shadows I got. All shadows are swatched over the "Ivory" Matte Eye Primer from Kiss my Sass. I also got a sample of the "White" primer. I like these because they are smooth and creamy.



All pictures of swatches are Left over primer and Right no primer.


First up is Minx
 
Minx is described as:  light tan/beige with shimmer that shifts between pink & green



Naughty Dog is described as: vivid blue with pink/magenta sparkles. This is one of my favorites of the bunch.



Poison Ivy is described as: grass green with a gold and copper sheen

 The shimmer in this shadow is very noticeable.



Purple Poppymagenta/purple with matching shimmer



 Shady is a: light to medium brown/taupe with turquoise/blue/purple color shifting shimmer/sheen



 Sleepy Hollow is described as: charcoal gray with a copper sheen



 Tattoo Shop is: a black base with an extreme amount of blue & purple sparkles (best applied over a sticky base in a "patting" motion; if you blend too much you will be left with just the black base)



Tea Rose is a: peachy pink with golden shimmer



Vegas is a: bright sparkling gold




 This one is my favorite of the bunch and I just love it so much!
Broken Hearted is described as a: intense pinky-red with gold shimmer

 So beautiful!


 This was a free gift with purchase that was included in my order. Oceanside Sunset is not for sale on the site, but I thought it was pretty enough to include in this post. I'm not totally sure how to describe it  but it is a very nice color.


 This was included in my order as a gift too. I don't use blush at all, but I wanted to swatch it since I know there are a lot of girls that use it so I wanted you to see what it looks like :)
Cotton Candy is a: a vibrant pink with minimal shimmer



 Last up is a lip glaze called Trophy Wife is described as a: clear to sheer white with gold sparkles It also has a marshmallow flavor which is awesome.


So all in all I like everything I got. The shadows are beautiful and applied great, but they are better when used over a primer to make them look their best. If your looking for some great products you should really check out Kiss My Sass Cosmetics!!!

Thanks for reading and I hope to be getting posts up more often. I also am putting together a giveaway that I hope to have up soon. Have a great day!!

It's been awhile, but I'm still here!

I've been busy this last month or so. I got out of a bad relationship. I got in a car accident and had my car totaled. I met a great new guy who is better and nicer then anything I could have ever imagined. I just got a new vehicle. It's nothing awesome but I like it. So with all that I have a little down time so I thought I would get a quick post up. Oh and I can tell I really like the new guy because I haven't done my nails a lot lately. My last polish stayed on for over a week!!! lol that's like forever. But I'm not complaining :) Oh to the polish...

I started out with a bast of China Glaze "White on White" I really don't care for this white. I have yet to find a white that I really like that has a good formula. I feel like "White on White'" is kind of a chalky formula, but I just went with it. I then used China Glaze "Gothic Lolita" to sponge over the top halves of my nails.

 Base 2 coats of China Glaze "White on White"


 Sponged China Glaze "Gothic Lolita" Such a wonderful polish. I love everything about it.



 I decided to top the gradient with China Glaze "Bling It On" which is part of a recent collection that I love. I love glitter toppers :)

 This is the purple of the collection.


 I think they look great and I love how they turned out!


Well that's it for today. Sorry about not really being around. I hope that as I get into the swing of a new relationship that I will start posting more again. I hope you enjoyed this post. Take care and keep reading :)

Glowing Purple

So today it's going to be kinda quick. I'm tired and been going through a lot, but I still wanted to  post something. I ended up calling into work today due to the snow we got last night and when I tried to leave my rental van (it's a beast) got stuck in the snow and it took about half an hour and 3 nice neighbors to help me get it out. I drove it right back into the garage lol. Anyways....

 This is a mani that I had done awhile ago and it's just been sitting in a folder. I felt it needed to be seen :)

 I started out with 2 coats of China Glaze "Gothic Lolita" This is one of my favorite light purples. It's so pretty and the formula is wonderful. It had a slight blue sheen to it and makes it different then most like purples.


 I then topped it with 2 coats of Layla Ceramic Effects "CE 52" Sadly these polishes are labeled with names, which is unfortunate since they really deserve names. 
  
 I know that "Gothic Lolita" isn't really visible but I think it helps this polish really glow from within.

I love how this turned out. It is so beautiful.

 I can never leave things alone so for an accent nail I used 2 coats of FingerPaints "Santa's Magic"

 "Santa's Magic" is a chunky holographic polish, and I think it goes well will this mani.


I really love how this turned out and I can't wait to try out some of the other Ceramic Effects polishes that I bought.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this short post. If you got snow I hope you had a better day then me. Have a great night!
