victorian disco review....part 1

hey there lovelies!!! i finally have caught up on the housework and have two napping children so i have time to post part of my Victorian Disco Cosmetics review so here we go!!!


I found out about Victorian Disco Cosmetics (im just gonna call it VDC) on Beautylish. if you have never been on there i highly suggest you check it out! Beautylish is one of many social sites about makeup/beauty and by far the best i have been to!!! everyone is wonderful and there are some very talented beauties on there...you can find me on beautylish here! Anywho....i ran across Smashley S.(dontcha love it) and she was asking if anyone was interested in doing trial reviews for her new cosmetics company...of course i said yes!!! i had seen some swatches on the VDC facebook page and was super excited to be able to participate in this trial!!!


onto some pictures: here is the black and pink bag the trials were sent to me in....how cute are they?

love the return star!!

inside i received 6 samples and a lovely tokidoki note.

 i really like the colors i recieved.  For being a sample it is quite a bit of shadow...im not really good with eyeballing measurments so im not sure the size but you can get quite a bit of wear out of these. The only thing i wish the label would of been on the other side but i understand its purpose to keep the bag sealed so its not a big deal....just personal preference. and how cute is the tokidoki note? i love it!!!!

colors: I received 6 samples...5 shadows and 1 cosmetic glitter. the shadows are: do the jabba jabba, yodas yoga mat, tatooine, pannier, and revolutionary ball. I love the names...and anything nerdy rocks in my book...star wars is really easy to pick awesome makeup names!!! The glitter i got is predator.

 i dont know why those are sideways...sorry!!! 
on part of 1 of this review i did tatooine, revolutionary ball and pannier...swatched over tfsi and bare hand.

tatooine, pannier, revolutionary ball.

I really love all 3 of these colors....esp pannier! tatooine is a nice gold with gold flecks...its really pretty. pannier is a neutral taupe-y brown with a hint of gold shimmer....its looks great on a neutral eye. revolutionary ball is a nice blue with a kind of green shift with pink/green/blue shimmer. (im terrible with describing colors these are what i see)

on these three colors the color payout is wonderful....i do recommend using a primer unless you like the soft look...and i would imagine that revolutionary ball would look gorgeous on top of a black or dark blue base.

i was going to do a look with these 3 colors but havent had the chance to yet.....hopefully soon i will have that up.....i do have a pic with pannier on though...

this is it with udnp1 naked underneath and a nice black liner.

i really love this color it super awesome!!!!
hopefully i can have some time to do part 2 of this review....soon!  until then  here is a peek at predator!!

until next time lovelies!!!!

(this product was sent to me for review)

sneak peek at a very awesome review!!!

stay tuned for my first review of a new indie company Victorian Disco Cosmetics!!!

things and stuff.

2nd post this week, im on a roll! I figured since I did swatches(here) on my darling girl goodies I would do a look…so here it is!

Used darling girl Chimera: Pale peach with gold shimmer (over white base) or pale silvery lavender with gold shimmer (over regular primer) over UDPP and it showed up as a light peach with gold shimmer. I know it says over primer it should be silvery lavender….maybe its just me but im not seeing it. I will defiantly try to use this with a different primer next time.

I also used Belle: Warm baby pink with subtle violet shift and gold shimmer in the crease. You can tell there is a difference but I also used a lighter hand today so it isnt as noticeable.

Liner is rimmel kohl liner in black with covergirl liquiline blast also in black over it and smudged out. For some reason one eye is always not symmetrical with my lining….I usually don’t line the top so I need some practice.

Curled my lashes and used covergirl lashblast volume, which I love…its my HG mascara. Used Hard Candy baked blush in pinup and just a smidge of darling girl zombie holo gloss.

 

 

I also found this on Loreals website: Loreal Gold Rewards found here. If you use Loreal Paris hair color (feria, preference, etc.) This is a good thing going on. For every box you purchase, you receive a number on the bottle (they have a number placement for every box…its on the site), you put it in and it counts as one credit. for every 5 boxes you purchase, you receive your 6th box for FREE!!!!! I definitely recommend this if you’re an at home hair color chameleon.

Thanks for checking out my blog, either for the first or 10th time, and keep checking in for more looks and things.

Have a great weekend(whats left of it)

darling girl…swatches/review.

hello all!! welcome back to my blogs, thanks for checking it out!!

I have been super busy with life, but since school has started hopefully ill jump back on the blogging wagon…so here is my first post in a while.

I found out about Darling Girl from Mandy who I follow on blogger. Her looks are wonderful.

this is a review pack they have on the website. I decided to get this just to try it out, but I also placed an order for some other shadows.

The colors I received (plus website description)

Chimera: Pale peach with gold shimmer (over white base) or pale silvery lavender with gold shimmer (over regular primer)

Belle: Warm baby pink with subtle violet shift and gold shimmer.

Texas Tea: deep charcoal grey with green shift and loads of multicolored eye safe glitter.

Enchanted: Lilac-y pink with blue duo chrome glitter.

Zombie: which is a Holo-gloss lip gloss. Cranberry base with blue and copper holo shimmers.

These colors are all very wonderful. full of shimmer and great color payoff. I applied all of these over my too faced shadow insurance.

colors are bottom left(clockwise): Enchanted, Texas Tea, Zombie, Belle and Chimera.

I am really looking forward to purchasing more from darling girl…im getting my list compiled now!! another thing I love about this company is the fact you have 3 different sizes to choose from. Sample size is $0.70 and is approximately 1/8 of a teaspoon. Petit is $2.25 and holds approximately 1/4 teaspoon. Full Size is $5.50 and holds approximately 3/4 of a teaspoon. (prices and sizes from the website: here.

Thanks for checking out my blog. stay tuned for more things to come.

thanks. glitterskulls.
