Recent Mail & Swatches

I recently got some mail from a couple different places. Let me just say that All Cosmetics Wholesale and Beauty Crunch ship SUPER FAST! I’m really happy with their customer service, too.

I swatched everything for you :) All colors are swatched on Aromaleigh Light Primer. I even swatched a dot of Gilded Mauve and Antique Rose. I also rubbed them down a bit, too. With the cream blush, Coquette, I did a heavy dot and then a blended down streak.

With the Pop Teal Eyes cake, the bright lagoon blue is easily my favorite color. It’s a very pretty, pigmented blue with some silver iridescence. The light blue is ok. The mint and the light grey are really pretty. The deep blue-tinged grey is a matte shade, and very nice. I like that the colors coordinate nicely.

    I don't know how you got the Pop colors to look so pigmented! I have one of the eye cakes in blue. I've tried it over a bunch of different primers and all of the colors still look washed out and blah. It's a shame because the colors are gorgeous, in theory. I really should try to use it for something though. I'm thinking it might work well for blending out the edges of more pigmented sister colors and/or for layering. Hmmmm! Have you tried any of the Too Faced blushes before? If so, how are they? I love their shimmery bronzers (the two I use are more highlights than bronzers though, so far as I'm concerned!)

    I used Aromaleigh Light Primer to swatch. I'll be trying looks with them with Too Faced Shadow Insurance. The light blue wasn't that pigmented, but the bright lagoon blue seemed fine. I'll let ya know if I find them difficult to use on the eye, but they seemed ok to swatch :) I've tried the Too Faced blushes that came in the In the Dark palette and they seemed nice.

    It seems like a nice kind of dirty silver :)

    I think it will be :)

    I really like the Too Faced Lust to Love Blush Duo. I would wear Antique Rose a lot, I'm sure.

    Glad you liked ACW! I've never seen a L'Oreal Blush like that, I'm intrigued…..

    I think it's actually really flattering. I just bought it based on the name (terrible of me, I know :P )

    It's from the L'Oreal HIP line and it's a cream blush. I've found that if I put cream blushes under my cheekbones to contour, and then put a bit of a powder blush on top, it kinda looks neat :) (or I could be wrong but I like how it looks.) I'm still such a newb with blush.

    Wow, I've never thought to do that! I guess I should buy some darker creme blushes….

    The L'Oreal hip blushes look nice, and I have a Boots .no7 cream blush. I don't like them on their own, but with another, it's cool :) Dave says I still put on too much blush, so it's hard for me to figure out when it looks good without being too overpowering.

    Well that shows how far removed we are from the real world here in Oki. I had no clue that H.I.P. had blushes, even though our bx carries H.I.P.

  14. Phyrra May 29, 2010 at 3:03 pm #

    Aww, do they just carry the eye shadows?

  15. Mika_chan May 29, 2010 at 5:24 pm #

    Yea mainly the eyeshadows, pigments, and pencils. Oh well :-/
