  First off, I was very impressed with how well the products were packaged. The box had several layers of foam around the entire box to keep the products secure.

 "Queen for a day Palette"

 

This palette caught my eye for it's soft neutral shades. I wanted to purchase something more "wearable" first just to test out these shadows. All four shades are packaged individually in little pots. The textures of these is very different, they feel like a soft cream shadow but dry to a powder finish. On the packaging it also says to seal the jar well after use... so I believe these can dry out if left open. Below are all of the shades individually. 

 Girly

 "Creamy vanilla with a flash of pink and gold duo chrome finish."

 Sequin

 "A copper penny like shade with silver and gold glitter."

 Smash

"Neutral medium warm beige with a soft golden satin finish."

 Shameless

"Black drizzled with multiple shades of green and subtle hints of blue and gold glitter leaving a metallic finish." 

Bae

 "Rich eggplant purple with an emerald, and turquoise, glittery duo chrome metallic finish."

I also purchased a single shadow... I just had to get my hands on this one, it's gorgeous!!!

 So Quiche

"A soft olive with a highly reflective gold and pink violet glittery duo chrome metallic finish."

Swatches of all of the shadows

*No primer, no flash, natural light.

These "Lippie Stix's" are so cute!!! I've seen them all over social media and knew I needed to give them a try. They're also really affordable and come in a wide variety of colors!

I love the practicality of the packaging. 

They remind me of a marker or large pen which makes them easier to store in drawers.   

Fancy

"Neutral mid tone coral in a satin finish."

Frida   

"A warm mid tone nude pink with a satin finish."

These satin finish lipsticks feel very comfortable on the lips and are very opaque. They also smell divine, like sweet vanilla or sugar cookies. 

Can't wait to try out all of these products! 

I have a feeling that I will soon be purchasing more of these lovely products to add to my makeup collection.

Until next time. Xoxo-Andrea
