Happy Easter Zombies!
I hope you're all having a nice day. It's overcast and windy here and looks like it might decide to dump some rain on us.
I was recently given the opportunity to review a new indie mineral makeup company "
Bokeh Face." I immediately googled the word "Bokeh" cause that's how I roll.
Bokeh: The Japanese word Boke derived from the verb "bokase" meaning to smudge or make blurry. Pronounced BO-KEH in English. The blurry, or out of focus region behind a subject is called the bokeh. A pleasing bokeh is one which has soft, round edges to the objects. ...

The owner Natalie of Bokeh Face sent me 10 clam shell samples of eyeshdaow, one full size eyeshadow, 2 sample "Amazing" blush, and 1 sample "Featherweight foundation".
I am not a huge clam shell person, so I didn't photograph the eyeshadow in their packaging, because I am a klutz and would have knocked them all over my table.
The full size jar came shrink wrapped, with a sticker over the sifter.
I love Bokeh's packaging! It's the label adorable? Full size 5 gram sifter jar is $5.00.
As you can see, there is quite a bit product in the sample blush clam shell.

My favorites from the group:
Octopus: Muted orange with a green shift. It's really unique
Lumpy Space Princess: Lilac with purple glitter and I mean LOTS of purple glitter
Golden Snitch: Medium Golden shimmer (leans warm)
Hurricane: Teal, but in my opinion, not just any teal. It's got the most awesome green shift EVER!
Glass Slipper: I can see this nice white shimmer being my new go to highlight color!
Amazing Blush Lotus: a Lavender blush!!?? What the what? I can't wait to use this!

And my thoughts? Each eyeshadow is so pretty and last a long time. I think they each have just the right amount of shimmer and/or glitter. I am especially impressed by the pigmentation of Hurricane and Octopus and the ease in which each color sent was swatched. The foundation was a little too light for me, but did settle into my skin nicely. The blushes are also both very nice and pigmented. I can't wait to use them on my cheeks. I also think the prices are reasonable and the products are not repackaged.
