Glitter Addict Haul

Another indie brand has been floating through lots of my Facebook makeup groups and has recently caught my attention for two reasons: one- Glitter. enough said on that. two- Debbie S. who makes each of these products herself, is constantly putting in the work to network and share her business everywhere. When I purchased these products, she was selling off of Etsy but I did notice that recently she got her own domain at http://glitteraddict.net  Great for you, Debbie!

setting spray, mermaid vibes palette, tickled pink sequence

I ordered the Mermaid Vibes Palette and which included 6 hand pressed glitter pans. I did want to switch it up a bit and I exchanged two of the pans for different glitters in her shop. The formula is ultra smooth and light but it sticks to the skin nicely  without that sticky feeling you get when you have to use glitter glue or primer with loose glitter. All of these pressed glitters are super pigmented but heartbreaker has an almost transparent, holographic-y feel. I already knew it was coming like that from the swatches I've seen but I really wanted it for my cheekbone highlight because I love using non-natural colored shimmers, especially when the colors change slightly with the light.

The pans sat in the handmade wood palette and fit together pretty snugly but the only downside with the actual palette itself was that the magnets did not attract to each other from the palette to the cover. The formula allows for them to not dry out but it's a bummer when storing the case. (I learned this the hard way when heartbreaker got a bit damaged when the lid wouldn't attach but it happens and I for the most part gathered heartbreaker back in its pan.) Hey, at least the glittered unicorn icon is just adorable!

tickled pink

This is the black and pink mixed star sequence and I love the girly rock n' roll vibe this gives off. I've already played around and added a black star here for a cute accent to the ends of my winged liner and used the pink ones when I change up my normal every day glitter highlight. yes, I know I'm a bit extra.

setting spray

Last but not least, we have this beauty of a setting spray! The main ingredient in here to love is the vegan glycerin- this will help all your makeup products cling to your skin. If you look at the photo, you'll be able see some silver star sequences in there so it adds for a glamorous decoration when you shake to use it. The label does look a little warped because it seemed that the bottle leaked during shipment - totally not her fault. 

I know I will be purchasing a lot more soon because I really want her rose water spray, the highlight duos and I need to get the holographic unicorn stickers for my sticker canvas boards that I use as a background when filming. 

Thanks for reading! Head on over to Glitter Addict's site to grabs some great amazing beauty products! 

VioletRose Studio

Sharing some lovely products that I received from Marshana who is the owner of VioletRoseStudio I'm pretty stoked for the products because they have great great natural ingredients like shea butter and grape seed oil which is really awesome for moisturizing and hydration.

I'm actually quite excited to use that mocha butter pigment cream because it seems like it would be an awesome base for a super pigmented bronzy eye look- which is something I will be creating soon since I know I have a lot of brown-eyed beauties that love looks to compliment their eye colors.

Although the liquid highlighter looks pretty saturated here, it does a great job blending out to a kick ass shimmer. I'm excited to use this as a daily highlighter because you guys all know I love my insane shimmer underneath a glitter cheek bone highlight. This is a great cool-toned color that really gives my some pastel alien vibes. 

The berrry bliss lipgloss is very lightweight product that I have already started using this summer. Now that it's blazing hot here in New Mexico, I've been opting more for balms and glosses rather than my ultra matte lippies. I have become extremely dehydrated (which is a lot easier to do with my chronic illnesses) which has caused me to have deep cracks on the side of my mouth. I've been using multiple products to help heal and soothe it but being a diabetic, the healing process is quite delayed. This gloss made with the grape seed oil and shea butter is giving some extra healing effects even while I'm out and trying to be cute. 

If you would like to purchase some of these products (she does make some cute chokers as well) then head on over to her shop here- and don't forget to use the code JENKIESZ for some $$ off!

Tater Rounds Beauty Mini Haul

I love shopping off of Etsy... You all can tell by all the postings that I do that include shops from there and the reason being is because buying these small businesses products is how they make their living and you're helping make their dream come true. The amount of passion shows through in their handmade work because the quality can't be replicated by these mass produced companies. This is true when it comes to Tater Rounds Beauty. 
I bought 3 sampled sized liquid lipsticks and a 20 gram jar of setting powder.

Believe me, I wanted to get the full sized lipsticks but I couldn't choose between these three colors so I decided to get all three until extra funds came but I WILL be buying more because these colors are to just die for. The formula is amazingly matte but doesn't dry out my lips as quickly as other brands do.

As for the setting powder, I love it as a blotting powder now that my skin has been a bit more oily now in the summer months. It does a great job absorbing excess oil when rolling onto the skin with a powder puff. I have yet to bake with it but I will probably use it in my youtube tutorial.

Cute Lash Holder

I'm a total nerd for makeup storage and sometimes it can be expensive so when I find a deal, I love sharing it with all of you guys. This was an absolute steal!

I got this little cutie from Wish for $2 + $1 for shipping. I figured that $3 wouldn't be such a killer if this ended up being a bunk purchase but I really love how adorable it is and maybe it'll help my bad habit of leaving my lashes all around the house because I just get lazy like that at the end of the day.
I do love purchasing from Wish for small little cheapie things but do be warned that delivery takes foreverrrrrr. For $1 shipping, I like buying a thing or two here and there so when it arrives weeks later, it's a nice little surprise.
