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!!

Pretty Eyes - Day 15

Day 15 of the 90 Day Challenge

I wasn't too sure what to name this post, so I just went with what I say every time I look at the
pictures :)
These are all of the shadows I used for this look:
Top Row - L to R: Chromatic: Walk of Shame, Terrestrial, Seraph
Bottom Row - Victorian Disco: AK-47 Glitter & Glamatronic: Golden Peach
I started with UDPP and a thin layer of Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
 I started with "Walk Of Shame" on the inner half of the lid and "Seraph" on the outer half of the lid.
Next I added "AK-47" glitter to the inner corner of both eyes.
 I then added "Terrestrial" to the center of both lids
 The final step was adding "Golden Peach" on the remaining area of the eye.
 I love, love, love how this turned out. It was so sparkly and beautiful. "Terrestrial" is one of my new favorite shadows. I plan on getting a full jar very soon!! "It has this beautiful iridescent shimmer to it and it's awesome on it's own, but over another shadow it become magical :)

Purple Color Explosion

I haven't posted the last two days due to a migraine, but I'll make up for it today :)

First I am going to show you the Purple Maybelline Eyestudio Color Explosion "Amethyst Ablaze" I love it as much as I like the green one. It goes on just as nice too.

I don't have much to say that I didn't say about the green, so I'll just show the pictures :)

This is before I put on the luminizer top coat......

This is after I put on the luminizer top coat......









The only bad thing I have to say about these eyeshadows are they are now where close to the colors they show on the commercials :( maybe if I tried applying them wet... I'll try it next time I use them.

Have you tried them wet? Did you have better results? Please leave a comment.

Thanks for reading!

Maybelline Eye Studio

Yesterday during lunch I went to Wal-Mart and I finally bought two of the new Maybelline EyeStudio Color Explosion eye shadows. (The pictures on their website don't do anything to the actual product) I bought the green and the purple. I love glitter and sparkle so these were no brainers for me. They looked so pretty and I couldn't wait to try them out. So I'm going to review the green first and in the next couple of days I will show the purple one called "Amethyst Ablaze."

The green one is called "Green Fury" Green is my favorite color so I couldn't wait to try it.

My camera doesn't do it justice. The colors are so pretty and very sparkly :)  The colors went on wonderfully and were true to the palette. When I took the first pictures I forgot to to use the liner, but I still like it...


This was before I put on the luminizer top coat... sadly the camera didn't pick it up as much but you can tell there is a difference.

 I just love, love, love this eyeshadow. At least with these I don't have to add my own glitter lol :) I was going to take pictures with the liner, but I had to get to work so I took a picture after work, but this also lets you see how it stood up after a day of work, and yes I used my good ol' UDPP :) So here are pictures with the liner...


This one shows that there is a lot of sparkle in it.

So all in all this product is a win in my opinion. I love eye shadows and I love sparkle, and this is 2/2. If you like the same as me then I highly recommend this product.

Thanks for reading :)
