The Makeup Heroes - October Depression Awareness Month

    Hola Everyone!!  The MUH got together to do a look for Depression Awareness Month. 

    Depression is a serious medical condition that affects millions of people; however, it can be treated.  I suffer from depression and I take medication to take care of it.  I feel that it is a "silent killer" because at times people who are depressed won't speak out and end up taking their own life.  It's sad btt true.  It's a huge fight for me on a daily bases and is something I wouldn't wish on anyone, not even my worst enemy.  If you would like more information on Depression, you can find it here.  Please please for those of you who do feel down or have thoughts of suicide, please speak to someone.  Even if you feel "stupid" talking to someone, do it!  It will save your life!  Speak up when you're down!!

    Green is the color that represents Depression Awareness.  Here is my look:

Makeup Great for Newbies and Beginners

    Hola Chicas!!  Hope you all are having a great Tuesday!  I'm a bit late with this review; however, better late than never!  I have another review from BornPretty Store for you.  So far I've reviewed cosmetics brushes, false eyelashes and nail polish.  Today I'm going to review their 12 set Shimmer Eyeshadow Collection and their Shimmer Glitter Liquid Eyeliner

    I was given the opportunity to review some more items from here and I thought let me give their loose eyeshadows and glitter eyeliners a try.  Here are my thoughts. 


    Wendy your famous!! =D
    The package comes with 9 loose eyeshadows (above) and 3 loose glitters (below).
    They come in a 3 gram jar w/o a shifter.  As you can see they are filled to the top with product.  What I don't like about the packaging is that the middle part (clear part where it says Wendy) of the screw on cap comes out.  You have to keep the cap upside down in order for the middle not to fall out.  I mean it's not a huge deal, but I think that's the only thing they could change.

    Swatches:
    
    Swatched on bare skin, no primer or base was used.
    The Low Down:
    The eyeshadows are very pretty, pigmented and last long.  No creasing or fading -of course I used an e/s primer or base.  I've never tried these alone so I can not tell you if they last long, crease or fade.  Out of the 9 e/s I had two matte colors and the rest were shimmery. 

    E/S colors:  Light Blue, Light Grey, Charcoal, Peachy Pink, Light Pink, Peachy Pink (matte), Medium Pink Purple, Peach (matte), Light Green.  I'm not best at describing colors, but you get the idea. =D

    Let's look at the glitters:
    
    Used false eyelash glue to hold the glitter for swatching.
    The glitters are pretty.  I received pink, purple and green.  If used with a good adhesive base they will last long.

    I think these are a great addition to my collection; however, this is collection would be awesome for a newbie or beginner who would like to try out loose e/s and/or play around with bright colors and glitter but not pay an arm and a leg for them.  You can't beat $5.59 for all 12 jars.

    Now lets look at the glitter liquid eyeliners.


     You get 6 different colors - Aqua, White, Light Green, Gold, Silver and Purple.  Of course it's cute packaging so that's a plus!
     What I love is the brush tip these eyeliners have.  I don't like felt tip liquid eyeliners so I was happy to see that these have a brush tip.

    Swatches:
    The ones that do "shine above the rest" are Aqua and Purple.  The rest all look Gold or Silver.  They are pigmented with glitter so a little goes a long way.  They do last long.  I used the silver on top of black liquid eyeliner and it looked pretty good.  Still this is not a bad deal because you do get 6 eyeliners for only $9.64 so again you can't beat that.

    Shipping is FREE worldwide!!

    Here are two looks I did using the E/S and Glitter Eyeliner:





    Overall Thoughts:
    I personally like that BornPretty Store has a little bit of everything for anyone.  You can get nail items, makeup, lashes, etc.. and for an affordable price too.  Check them out and I'm sure you'll find something for you!

    Don't forget to use my code to receive 10% off on your next purchase.

    Thanks for reading!!  Till next time.....Stay Beautiful!!

Evil Shades Cosmetics - Review - Swatches & FOTD

    Hola Chicas!  I’m here today with another review from an AMAZING Indie company called Evil Shades!  I love my group of Chicas and they have officially made me addicted to Indie makeup!  I’m totally loving it!  If you haven’t tried Indie makeup you need to try it!!


    Andrea is the owner of Evil Shades and is super sweet.  There was a little mess up with my order and I sent her an email to let her know that I had received two of the same e/s.  I even told her I would send her a picture to show her and she was like no worries I could have messed up when filling your e/s.  Within a couple of days she sent me two new one e/s plus another e/s sample!  Awesome customer service!   She responded to my email quickly.  If you have any problems or questions with your order she won’t keep you waiting.

    I ordered Evil Shades Blogger/Youtuber Review Set which consisted of 4 eyeshadows, 2 blushes and 3 lippies of your choice.  I ordered the following:

    Eyeshadows
    Cerberus
    Illusive
    Banshee
    Reondite

    Blushes
    Brazen
    Burlesque

    Hardcore Lips
    Scream
    Not Your Barbie
    Roué

    Samples
    E/S - Victorian Night
    E/S – Faerie Dance
    Visible Violet Spectrum Pot

    This is how my ordered looked:


    The packaging is made with LOVE!! This shows a lot on the owners part…well for me anyways.  The packaging itself is super cute!! Who doesn’t love cute packaging?  The best part is she personalized it with a “Thank You” note.  I love when I order makeup and get it personalized for me =)

    Here’s a breakdown of everything I got. 

    Eyeshadows
    
    



    Victorian Night - Cerberus - Illusive
     



    With Flash on bare skin
     
    



    W/O Flash on bare skin
    
    



    These were the e/s that were my replacements
    Reondite - Banshee - Faerie Dance
     
    



    With Flash on bare skin
    Sorry my hand kept shaking and I couldn't take a good picture w/o flash.
    The one I had looked super blurry...no bueno!

    These eyshadows are so pretty!  All descriptions below are from the website.
    
    Victorian Night - Medium Lavender with teal shimmer and a subtle blue green shift
    Cerberus - Deep burgundy with fuchsia sparkle
    Illusive - A red based matte purple
    Reondite - Medium Aqua with pink shimmer
    Banshee - Bright shimmering teal
    Faerie Dance - Bold cobalt blue with  aqua sparkles dancing throughout

    These colors are amazing!!  My favorite one is Illusive.  This is an effin amazing matte e/s!!!  I have been using this one like almost everyday.  It's even more amazing applied wet!  Don't get me wrong I love all of the colors, but I love matte e/s and haven't been able to find many good ones.

    The e/s stay on long, no fading or creasing (used UDPP & ES Visible Violet Spectrum Pot) and they blend easily.  I love them!

    Blushes
    
    



    Brazen - Burlesque
    
    



    W/O Flash on bare skin
    I forgot to take one with flash =/
    
    Brazen - a pink toned red flush
    Burlesque - Light warm toned Peach with soft silver shimmer

    These blushes are awesome!  When I saw Brazen I was like OMG that super bright o_0 but it's a beautiful color.  I love the way they both looked when I applied them on my cheeks.  Burlesque is a pretty light color and I've been using it as a highlight on my cheeks.  They've lasted throughout the work day for me.  I apply it about 6:30am and by the time I get home about 5:15pm there still on.  That's a good thing.

    Hardcore Lips
    
    



    Roue - Not Your Barbie - Scream
     
    



    W/O Flash on bare skin
    The one I took with Flash was too blurry
    
    The pictures below were taken with flash.




    First off the sample packaging was super cute!  She sealed the little plastic package with a heart sticker which I loved!  These lippies are awesome.  I know I keep saying that but I'm loving her products! =)  They apply very easily, pigmented and last a good 5 hours.  The product itself isn't sticky or thick. 

    Spectrum Pot
    
    



    Visible Violet Spectrum Pot
     
    



    With Flash on bare skin
    I blended into my skin
    
    Spectrum Pots are versatile and can be used for almost anything!  On the website it states all the different ways you can use this.  I used it as an e/s base and it works really great.  It feels sticky but not in a bad way.  When I applied it on my lid it blended well.  It felt like a NYX JP when blending it.  There are 9 different colors available and she also has a Spectrum palette with 4 colors. 

    Overall Thoughts
    I really love Evil Shades!!  Your money will be well spent here.  I have no complaints.  I will be purchasing more from here and I hope you all will try this company out if you haven't done so. =)

    I know I'm sounding like a broken record right about now, but I'm loving Indie makeup companies.  I love the fact that it's made with love and knowing that the owner is the one packing your items is awesome.  Writing a little "Thank You" note says alot about someone.  It shows that they are grateful and take pride in there products.  That's what I love.  I'm sure the owner of MAC isn't gonna do that on everyone's order! LOL =)

    Here is a look I did using Visible Violet Spectrum Pot (E/S Base), Illusive (lid), Victorian Night (Crease blended up & under eyelid) and Cerberus (Crease to deepen it & under eyelid)

    I need to really stay away from purples cuz my looks are looking the same =/ LOL but I love PURPLE!!  Plus it's not the best lighting but oh well!! =)

    Till next time Chicas....Stay Beautiful!!
