StellaStarish Cosmetics

I first came across StellaStarish Cosmetics when I entered a makeup contest she was sponsoring which I luckily one!! I was able to try some of her babies and completely fell in love! Stella the owner is such a humble and helping person. I then decided to follow her fan page daily where she has tons of fun going on! I decided to buy some of her pigments to use as prizes for my scavenger hunts & she was a total doll DOUBLING my order that night, where I was able to have some pretties for myself. She answers questions right away and is always there when you need any information. Now on to her goodies:

All her boxes are hand stamped with gold stars

Unique Styles Boutique

I was first introduced to Unique Styles Boutique playing in the famous Facebook Scavenger Hunts. I had a blast & won 3 pigments from her collection. I was free to select any three. I was so ecstatic since it was the first time ever that I won makeup for FREE playing games. Judith, the owner is a wonderful person. Very easy going and easy to talk too. Her shipping is flawless. I have received two orders from her; My prize & then when I ordered from her some samples. They were both received in less then 3 business days! That's right 3 BUSINESS DAYS!! 

Swatches are all done over ELF Sheer Primer

Tang- Bright Matte Orange 

Star Struck- Bright Shiny Yellow

Filthy Rich- Bright Shiny Gold

Its a Boy- Bright Shiny Royal Blue

Neveyah- Light Shiny Purple

Gustavo- Shiny Light Baby Blue

Girly- Light Shiny Pink

Purple Haze- Matte Pinkish Purple
Amareli- Shiny Purple with some blue shimmer

White Girl- Shimmer White
Luna- SHIMMER SHIMMER SILVER
Clover Green- Matte Green

As you can all tell her pigments are very pigmented, even the lightest of colors have great pigmentation. She has a great variety of colors & what I love most is that she has best of both worlds; shiny & matte. The only thing that I found that honestly didn't bother me but may cause some issues is the fact that there's no list of ingredients in the package or labels. I know some people may have extremely sensitive skin & may fear using anything without know the containing ingredients. Overall, I was very satisfied with the service & product.

4.5 out of 5: I would definitely buy from her again!

Alexeter Minerals

Alexeter Minerals is a new Canadian company offering cosmetics. The owner Jen is someone who is very easy to reach and very nice at the same time. I was very lucky to win these two eye-shadows in a contest held by one of the makeup pages. Jen was nice enough to sponsor that contest and therefore I won these two beautiful eye-shadows that are part of their "Princess Collection." Below are the swatches, done over Urban Decay Primer Potion.

All jars come with a label on top with the company logo & a label on bottom with the name of the pigment.

All her jars have sifters... so just I love this since I'm soo clumsy! haha

Princess Toad- A very shimmery light green. Being that green is my favorite color, I was blown away at how beautiful this color is.
Princess Cupcake- PINK! A very nice pink, full of shimmer.



As you can all see these pigments are true to color! The same color you see in the jar, you see on your skin. & I absolutely LOVE that. (The green looks a little bright in the jar because of my camera...SORRY)
Overall, I would COMPLETELY recommend you all to order from Jen. Not only are her pigments beautiful but her service to her customers is impeccable. She responds right away & answers any of your questions.

Her website is very easy to navigate and order from!

5 out of 5: Def would buy more pigments!

The night ended with us looking & swatching a whole lot of eye shadows, blushes, bronzers, and even tasting Urban Decay's marshmallow powder! This week I will be doing a whole lot of reviews on LOTS of different companies. I am really excited! Can't wait for you to see all the beautiful colors! =)

Hello my LOVELIES!

How are you all today? Don't know if any of you were able to enjoy Fashion Night out today but I certainly tried too. I went to the DASH store (Kardashian store) and Victoria Secret (the ANGELS were there). The lines were ridiculously long & I couldn't meet any of them... boo hoo! But it was fun to see all these people lined up just to see one or two famous people... it was crazy all the pushing and shoving.

Outside the DASH store and this it just the front... it went around the block!
