Concrete Minerals

Ii's probably pretty obvious that I like to try different companies that sell indie mineral makeup. However, there's only a handful of companies that I continue to go back to for more products. Concrete Minerals is one of these. I won't go on and on like I could, but I do like to purchase the collection, not only are the products in these great (generally eye shadows), but I also adore the cute tins that they come in. I also wanted to try some of the Pro Matte shadows while I was taking advantage of a sale.

The Sugar Skull Collection consists of 6 eye shadows. 


Sweet Catrina- pink neutral.


Calavera- Burnt orange.


Los Angelitos- Aquamarine.


Viva los Muertos- Vibrant purple pink.


Altar of Roses- Rust red.


Saint- Navy blue

As most of my mineral make up eye shadows are shimmers, I've slowly been adding some mattes. Concrete Minerals have a Pro Matte line with gorgeous bright matte shades. Instead of the signature black lids, these shadow pots come with white. I just had to try some!


Ravage- purple.


Ember- Bright orange.


Toxic- Acid green.


HiFi- Magenta.

I really appreciate that not only are these mattes easy to apply, they are not chalky and blend well.
Angel Dust- Pale pink with aqua shift. Such a gorgeous colour, unfortunately it does not appear to be available.

 I really like tinted lip products. Colour with the benefit of mositurising for the lips. Concrete lip tints are no exception. Some days I need lip balm, and having a little colour is a bonus.

Lovergirl- Wine.

Phantasm- Coral.

 In each order, sample eye shadows in baggies are included.

Lithium- Chrome shimmer.

Arsenic- Deepened purple shimmer.

I had fun playing with these matte eye shadows. I thought what better way to show them off than doing a multi-hued EOTD.
Inner lid- Toxic
Middle of the lid- Ember
Outer lid- Ravage
Upper/lower lashline- HiFi.

Lid- Angel Dust
Crease- Los Angelitos
Outer V- Saint.

 I just love adding Concrete Minerals products to my collection :)

    OMG I'm in love! What divine art work darling - both of these looks are fab you clever gal, and those colours, oh dear, this could be very expensive for moi ha ha. The mattes are amazing and how about that Angel Dust? - it's heavenly, not to mention the Los Angelitos.
    I am in BIG trouble...

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...
