I did another itsy, bitsy, teeny haul from Shelly Frances on Etsy, www.etsy.com/shop/ShellyFrancesMakeup .
I got a sampler of 10 eyeshadows but this time stayed to neutrals (tried to anyway) as I am desperately needing everyday, all day colors.
Please click for big photos. All swatched over Shelly's Primer and from left to right:
Ruby Cave, New Moon, OMG!, D'Amore, Old Treasure.
L to R: Dick, Champagne, Gold Mine, Cookie, Cowgirl, silver glitter wand, Discotec Holographic eyeliner gel.
Freakin frig on Gold Mine!! It's the brightest shade of Gold I've ever seen in a shadow and the shimmer is blinding. It's like looking at a sheet of gold being reflected in the sun....I'm going to have fun playing with this one!
I also got a fullsize pot of Nature cause that's MY color! A cute little tub of holographic eyeliner gel becuase I've never tried glitter as a liner before, so why not go straight for the holographic kind??
And Shelley kindly included a fullsize silver glitter wand as a freebie, thanks Shell!

As a side note, I am loving finding and purchasing mineral makeup from Indie sellers on Etsy. The shadow samples alone are threatening to take over my bedroom.
Apart from Shelley Frances I have found and loved the products from: Concrete Minerals, Rock a Betty and Shiro Cosmetics.
If you have a favourite seller please leave me the sellers store name so I can check them out!
Nice colors!!!!

These are lovely colours!
ReplyDelete:) I've always wanted to try these from Etsy. But I'm scared the packets are going to explode or leak :(
ReplyDeleteCarli,thank you for the AWESOME review!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your nice comments ladies:)
Rachel, all my products arrive in perfect condition. I haven't had any issues with that.
So feel free to stop by and try it!
I like hifi cosmetics and moi minerals from etsy.
ReplyDeleteAwesome color
ReplyDeleteYou must, must, MUST try Orglamix from Etsy. Quality is incredible - like a department-store brand, with colors you will never be able to find elsewhere. Cheri is very generous and always willing to send out colors for reviews & giveaways! http://www.etsy.com/shop/orglamix
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome colors. Maybe someday I'll work up the courage to buy mineral makeup on etsy :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw this post, I thought of a company that I'd heard so many great reviews on (but never got around to trying myself) from a forum I used to participate in a couple years ago..so went to google to search for it. The She Space no longer exists but it About Face Cosmetics and there is a blog from Nov 4 (this year? last year?) that says she is quitting the mineral makeup business and all jars are marked down to two dollars. Worth a try maybe if you really like mineral eyeshadow. http://www.heatheresque.com/hopequestcosmetics.html
Thanks Amanda for that link, will check it out for sure!
ReplyDeleteErin. I had seen that store but wasn't too sure...will take yr recommendation! Any shades in particular u like?
Let's see, I have about 30 now so it's really hard to narrow it down! ^.^
ReplyDeleteMangosteen and Baie Rose are must-haves; a lot of people use Baie Rose as blush, too. Ambre is a really good example of how very unique her colors are - same goes for Lilly Pilly. And then you should try the HD Microfinish Powder, too.
Like I said, Cheri is amazing, she is always very generous and I'm sure she'd be able to recommend colors for you to test. Try any one of the super-bright ones to see what I mean about the quality - color payoff is insane, and it NEVER dyes your skin! I ♥ Orglamix
(Warning - you will get addicted. She does Color of the Week at 50% off, and Freaky Friday deals where she picks a color for you at 50% off, and I have placed 3 orders with her in the past week!)
