Sneak Peek! Darling Girl Cosmetics 'Fairy Tale Romance' Collection

Hey everyone! Today I have some swatches for you from the upcoming Fairy Tale Romance collection from Darling Girl Cosmetics. This collection is based on the popular show Once Upon a Time, which I have never seen, but I'm sure any of you who are fans of the show will be able to see the inspiration. I swear, I need to watch more TV...I never get the references in any of these awesome collections.

Anyway, if you want to see swatches of this collection, plus a quick EOTD, keep reading!

Swatch Post! Sugar Skull Minerals Fall Collection & Bejeweled Collection

Hey everyone! I know I promised this post would be up like a week ago, but I got a little sidetracked. The owner of Sugar Skull Minerals was kind enough to send me samples of all the colors in her two newest collections to share with you all. The first set of swatches I have for you are from the Fall Collection, which is currently available for purchase, however it is a limited edition collection and will no longer be available after December 1st. The second group of swatches are from the Bejeweled Collection, which is currently available for pre-order and will start shipping October 1st. This collection will be permanent. Keep reading after the break to check out the swatches!

EOTD: A Painted World

Hey everyone! Today I just have a quick EOTD post for you featuring A Painted World from Darling Girl Cosmetics. Yesterday I decided to inventory all of my DG eyeshadows, and I realized that I have never actually used this gorgeous shadow- I only swatched it! Have you ever done that before, bought something and totally never got around to using it?

For the crease and highlight I used some shadows from the Lorac Pro Palette 2 (Buff to highlight, Light Brown as a transition shade, Cool Gray in the crease, and Navy right in the socket to add depth. I also used a bit of navy on the outer lower lashline.) Then I applied Darling Girl's A Painted World on the lid wet, using MAC Fix+. On the lower lashline, I applied A Painted World dry. I also used a little Darling Girl Whitelighter in the inner corner, its a super gorgeous silver! Liner is my  usual Urban Decay Perversion.

Hope you all enjoyed this quick little post! :)

Sneak Peek! Sugar Skull Minerals 'Young Love' Collection

Hey everyone! Check out how many times I've actually blogged this month! Crazy, right?

Anywho, today I am excited to share some swatches with you of Sugar Skull Minerals newest collection called 'Young Love.' Vicki was kind enough to send me some samples to share with you, but you can get your hands on these pretties starting July 11, 2014, and it will be a permanent collection. This gorgeous collection includes 11 eye shadows and four blushes!

Let's check out the goods!

First up, we have the blushes. From top to bottom: Like a Virgin, Heart Throb, Sweet Cheeks, Make Me Blush.
These blushes are silky smooth and pigmented. I only used the tiniest amount for these swatches and blended them out. A little will go a long way with these!

And the eye shadows: Faithful, I Heart You, Hickey, Prude, Promise Ring, Picnic in the Park, Sugar Bear, Smooches, Under the Bleachers, Spin the Bottle, XOXO.
So. Much. Awesome. These shadows are seriously so amazing. They are so pigmented and full of gorgeous shimmer and sparkle. And Spin the Bottle-can you say super awesome duochrome?!?!

This is definitely another Sugar Skull collection I'll be purchasing! Everything is so stunning and there are no duds, in my opinion.

Are you as excited about this collection as I am? :)

Also, I think I need a thesaurus, lol.
