Darling Girl Cosmetics: Darling Deer Christmas collection.

With a name like Darling Girl Cosmetics, how could I not try any products :) The logo is as cute as the name, the site has a fun girly, flirty appeal. All age groups and tastes are covered. Whether you want shimmery, matte or glittery products, there are so many to choose from.
The lovely Susan says this about her company "At Darling Girl Cosmetics we believe that everyone at any budget should be able to have quality affordable makeup. This is why we offer two sizing options as well as samples of many of our products. Petit's (1/4 tsp jars), Full Size (3/4 tsp jar), and sample baggies with 1/8 tsp. At these prices you could buy several jars of our eye shadow for the price of one high end eye shadow with the same great quality."
There is such a choice of different products, including eye shadows, eye liners, lip products, blush, bath and body products, just to list a few. I was impressed with the range, and had a full "shopping cart" in no time.




I appreciated the care of packaging, and processing was within an acceptable time frame. Susan is always quick to let customers know if there is going to be any delays.




When purchasing, I ordered a couple of collection sample sets. I'll begin with Darling Deer Christmas. Although this is a Christmas collection, some of the colours are still available for purchase.


DASHER: Silver with multi-coloured shimmer.




CUPID: Mauve with plenty of purple shimmer.




PRANCER: Light olive with aqua and purple shimmer.




WHITE CHRISTMAS: Light grey with multi-coloured shimmer.




COMET: Chocolate with green shift and gold shimmer.




DONNER: Pale neutral pink with mauve shimmer.




DANCER: Forrest green with gold and mauve shimmer.




BLITZEN: Pale gold shimmer.




RUDOLPH: Shimmery purple hued taupe.




VIXEN: Mauve.




JINGLE BELLS: Gold glitter.




REINDEER KISS: Plum with multi-coloured glitter.




In this collection I also received a blush, Berry Merry. Light blush swatches don't seem to work out too well, so you can view the colour here.






I used Prancer on the lid, Rudolph under brow and Dancer in the crease.








Here I am wearing Donner on my inner lid, Cupid on lid, lower lashline and crease is Vixen.


This is a fun collection, perfect for the festive season, yet versatile for everyday wear. The pigment is more than adequate and texture is good to work with. Although fun, the glitter is something I wouldn't use, but I'm sure that my teen daughter would have fun with it..if I don't add it to a nail polish first :)
Next post will be swatches from the Rainbow Brite collection.

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
