BA star cosmetic review and swatches (NEW 2014 POST)

Hey dolls so I know it has been a very very long time since I have written a review or anything on my blog and I do apologize.

The company I am going to review products for is BA Star Cosmetics. They sent me two palettes and a body glitter for reviewing purposes. Let me start off by saying thank you so much BA Star cosmetics for this amazing opportunity to review your companies products I am truly grateful!

The first palette I am going to review is their Spicy Natural Eye Shadow Palette.
Let me just say now these palettes are definitely worth every penny. They are so beautiful, pigmented and smooth. You honestly do not need a base for these eyeshadows because they are so pigmented and stay nicely even without a base.

I did swatches for both palettes using a base and swatches without a base. I love these palettes and can't wait to do eyeshadow looks with these which I will post on here once I do them.

The Spicy Natural palette is your perfect palette for a smokey eye or even if you want to do some nice neutral eye looks. They have the perfect shades to achieve either look. I love these colors so much. Here are the swatches for the Spicy Natural palette.
(Bottom Row has NYX jumbo pencil in milk as a base)

The second palette I am going to review is their Tropical Eye Shadow Palette. Let me just say OMG I LOVE THIS PALETTE. It has the most beautiful colors in there. When you see the palette you just know that the name for it fits it so beautifully. I love this palette so much and I think this will definitely be my most used palette for fun looks.

Here are swatches with and without a base. I definitely like it more without the base but it also depends which base you are using.

The next pictures are pretty much of the packaging and everything I received. I did not put a swatch of the glitter because it is pretty much a loose holographic glitter that I will be using to do fun creative looks with.

The only thing I did want to say before I end this review is that the brush that comes with the palette is like a dual ended brush, one side has a soft sponge applicator and one is like a little brush. I think some people might like the brush but me personally I would just use it to apply my base. The brush end is a little rough but that is my only thing that I did not like. Otherwise I am truly grateful for everything and I still think the palette is worth every penny.

So check out their page they have so much more products to offer like lip colors, mascara, more glitters, makeup bags, etc. The prices are definitely worth it and I do not think they are overpriced at all. I will be ordering a few products soon off of their site.

Thank you BA Star! =]

Everyday Minerals Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Event and review.

Hello loves!

So on October 26th, 2013 I was lucky enough to host a breast cancer awareness makeup/charity event. The party was sponsored by this amazing company called Everydayminerals.com
Let me start off by saying that I am so grateful for all they gave me for my party guests. They were also very helpful and sweet.

So pretty much they sent gift packs/sample packs for each guest. It had eyeshadows, a brush, blushes and face powder samples.  My guests loved it and couldn't stop talking about all the nice colors and how the makeup felt so good on their skin.

Well I know I am going to be someone who purchases regularly. The makeup is so pigmented and felt so great on the skin it didn't break anyone out and everyone who put makeup on looked flawless.

Everydayminerals.com is a company I keep telling everyone about because its just an amazing company. Great products, great customer service. Its a total package.
:) thank you everydayminerals.com

Here are a few pictures of how I decorated the bags and put everything together. More pictures coming soon:)

The body needs haul

Hi dolls so I recently ordered from thebodyneeds2.com and I got my order in super super quick I wanna say it was within five days. Well I ordered stuff because I had received samples before from the company and immediately fell in love plus they have samples of mac lipsticks, pigments, etc. And when I ordered they had a 30% off coupon plus a clearance section:)

Here's what I ordered:
1) mac melon pigment sample
2) mac naked pigment sample
3) TBN shazam! Pigment
4) TBN jungle boogie pigment
5) TBN cherry me? Pigment
6) TBN pearl blue sky pigment
7) TBN sins of the strawberry pigment
8) TBN rock star glitter
9) TBN matte violet pigment
10) TBN Persian dreams glitter
11) TBN prosperity pigment
12) TBN clubbin glitter
13) TBN neon lime glitter
14) TBN Darling Nikki blush
15) TBN pearl blue sky crushpot
16) TBN shazam! Crushpot
17) TBN tempting taupe crushpot
18) TBN Siren crushpot
19) two empty pigment jars
20) six pigment jar sifters

So now as far as packaging goes I loved it. It came in a thick bubble wrap envelope and all the pigments were wrapped up really nicely together so there was no spillage, no broken jars and no broken crushpots:)

The color payout for everything is pretty amazing:) the only complaint I have with the crushpots is that they smell very strong like the mixing medium used which I personally don't like the smell and for a few of them the color payout wasn't as great as the pigments which I can understand because there's a difference
Other than that I LOVED everything and she also gave me a free sample of their lip luster in the color fairy kissed plus a coupon code for a future purchase to receive 20% off.

Thank you thebodyneeds!!:)
