** Ladies These Colors are very Pigmented and although some didn't show as I would have liked in the Swatch I am very Happy with the color in person. This is what Happens hen you are an NC40 and Summer time My Skin gets darker and well swatches are hard to do for me sometimes**
Some other Indie Companies I am Dying to Try Out:
High Voltage Cosmetics (Amp'd up Glosses are to die for!)
My Beauty Addiction Love Etsy
Overall Thoughts:
I love the Range in Colors and the Packaging because as we all know I am a sucker for Packaging.
The Shadows did not come with sifters, however personally I have always enjoyed loos pigments with out them because I always like dipping and having control of the jar myself. I know some prefer it but I do not.
Communication is Great from both the Blog and the Store itself!
Hope you Ladies Enjoy will do a look with these soon. Now off to pick the Winner of my Hello Kitty Giveaway!
Thanks for doing a post on these! I'm kinda bummed with the way obnoxious swatched for you. I hope it turned out much more pigmented in person. In person to me it seems to be much brighter to me. I hope you enjoy them though. I'd really like to see a look you create with them :)

Aww Kassandra so sorry but in all fairness you are right it looks so much better in person and pigmentation on my end is no problem . Unfortunately being that I am a little darker complexion some colors just dont show or swatch weird on me :-( I do love everything tho
All that matters is that your satisfied!!! Haha maybe I will make you my swatcher for new colors so I can see what they look like on someone that isn't white as a ghost like me!!
Very good post! I have yet to try this brand but it is on the top of my list! I loved all the colors you picked. My faves are Obnoxious, Vivid and for the blushes French Kisses and Wild Thang. Even the names are freakin cute. I wonder what they will look like on me since I'm darker than you, plus I have tanned even more this summer. :( I really like this post and I trust your insights. Great job Cathy and Kassandra!
I love pretty addictions! I agree with the swatching- on me it doesn't swatch well but they look so fantastic on my eyes. i'm dying to get the blush and bronzer.
@ MsPrettyful Girl Lisa they look great on my face and eyes but for some reason on my inner fore arm it really didnt show the true brightness of Obnoxious. I think they still showed up well in the Pics. The Blushes are AMAZING Wild Thang has this Glittery goodness thats just Awesome!
@ Wendy I am so glad I tried this Cosmetic Line I love Mineral eyeshadows over pressed at times just because of the color payoff and versatility . The Bronzers are my Next choice for sure!
awwww the packaging is really cute and "pretty" hahahaha I will have to look into these, I am wanting to get some loose pigments for my fantasy photoshoots I have planned. Great post!
Great Haul! I love 24k I have a sample of it :) I have been using pink pearls as a cheek highlight and it looks lovely :)
Love her packaging. I need to step up my game lol!
