Dark Heart Designs

Well, I have stretched out the indie mineral make up products for review as far as I could. Being on a make up no-buy, I am about to show case the last of my to-review stash. It makes me feel a little sad, but the no-buy was necessary. It won't last forever, but I really need to shift some make up before replenishing my stock.
I don't really recall how I stumbled upon the business Dark Heart Designs, but I had fun playing with the products. Purchase is available online via Store Envy.



Fantasy- Mauve shimmer


Hero- Pale blue shimmer


Storybook- Rusty red.


Enchanted- Pastel mint green.


Villain- Grape purple.


Ever After- Golden peach.


Anna- Murky taupe colour.


Kiki- Purple blue colour.


Coral Fang- Bright coral.


Dirty Diana- Deep purple.


Magic- Graphite shimmer.


Fairy Tale- Icy green.


Deal- Golden brown.


Curse- Dirty lavender. 

 These shadows have lovely pigment and are easy to work with and blend. As with all mineral shadows, I get best results using over a sticky base.


These are listed as Eye Light Gel Liners. The sea green colour is Green Gentleman, with the coral pink Poison Girl being the swatch on the right.
This gel formula has a bouncy gel consistency. It does take some time to work with, but the metallic colour pay-off is certainly worth it.



These lipsticks, True Love's Kiss (ruddy coral) and Love Bites (cool pink), are a creamy, moisturising formula with opaque coverage.

 I like that the cream based products are in clam shell style pots.




Here I am wearing Ever After on my lid, Deal in the crease and lined with Poison Girl.


For this look I used Fairy Tale in the inner lid, Coral Fang in the center, Anna in the crease and Story Book along the brow.

 There are so many products to choose from, it's worth checking out Dark Heart Designs.

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...
