The Shop: Facebomb Cosmetics
What I ordered: A Random Grab Bag (not available to link at the time of this post)
Packaging: I placed this order 9/12/11, and it arrived 9/17/11 in a bubble mailer. Inside the bubble mailer was a cute little cellophane bag tied with ribbon, and a copy of my invoice with an ingredients list stapled to it. I got two colors in jars and three samples in baggies.
Today's Swatches:
These swatches were done on bare skin (top row,) and skin prepped with primer (bottom row. It's UD Primer Potion or MBA Shadow Poxy, but I prepared these weeks ago so I honestly don't remember which one I used.) I made an additional swatch of Electric Avenue over primer with Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy. Here's a few shots of a quick look I did with them.
Overall: These shadows adhered pretty well to my bare skin, which is a plus, but the primer set them off exponentially. And my order shipped really quickly, to boot! The look I did was pretty soft, but overall these colors are pretty intense with a good deal of sparkle. Link is a sparkly deep, olive-forest green. Powder Keg is a sparkly bright blue. Electric Avenue is a sparkly, glittery medium purple. P.S. I Love You is a sparkly frosty pink that reminds me of cupcakes. Lollipop Chainsaw is a shimmery white with blue glitter. The only thing that I didn't like was the generic ingredients list stapled to my invoice; I would prefer to have individual lists on my jars so I know exactly what's in each pigment. Shipping was fast, the colors are interesting, and they blend quite well.
Would I recommend them?: Absolutely.
Slight side question......what eyeliner are you using in these pics?
ReplyDeleteI use a foiled pressed black liner from Sally Beauty. It's by Femme Couture and it came as a duo with a charcoal grey I never really use.
