Exclusive "Space Prostitute Set" from Geek Chic Cosmetics!

Good afternoon Zombies!

I'm pretty excited about today's post! A little while back Jeanine (better known as Hottie McNaughty) started her very own website called The Rhinestone Housewife which offers a variety of hand made cosmetics and bath and body goodies! I was lucky enough to be asked to review the "Space Prostitute Set" which was created by Geek Chic Cosmetics exclusively for The Rhinestone Housewife!

Are you ready to see the awesome? Me too! (Make sure you click each image for maximum awesome!)



The pretty Rhinestone Housewife card!

The jars are standard 5 gram jars which hold about 1 gram of product. Each jar was shrink wrapped and had a sticker over the sifter holes. I really like the care in detail on the jars- right down to the cool fonts and designs.



The standout! Meteor Madame lip gloss is hot. It's a beautiful and shiny rose colored gloss. I adore it.




Swatches of the entire set.




Descriptions per the website:

Cosmic Cathouse: described as a blackened antique gold with silver sparkles
Pangalactic Painted Lady: described as the perfect robin's egg blue with a lush satin sheen

This is the perfect robin's egg blue with a lush satin sheen. - See more at: http://www.therhinestonehousewife.com/products/product-detail.php?iid=320#sthash.1jciRYke.dpuf

Oldest Profession in the Universe: described as a nude beige/pink with just the right amount of sparkle
Meteor Madame: based on the Pantone Honeysuckle color with a high gold sheen and sparkle

My thoughts:
I feel like the descriptions from the website are spot on. I adore Oldest Profession as it's a wonderful highlight color for my skin tone and will become my go-to highlight shade. Cosmic Cathouse is a wonderful gold and very smooth and pigmented. Pangalactic Painted Lady was a little intimating at first, but once applied, it  blends down to a pretty light blue. It will be fun to come up with a fun look to pair this one with! Each eyeshadow color was smooth, blend-able and a dream to apply. Meteor Madame has been on my lips for 2 days straight. I'm in love with this lip gloss. It has just the right amount of shine and color to make it wearable ALL THE DAYS! It's gorgeous!

I love the navigation of TRH's website. It's a simple layout and easy to read! The descriptions are awesome and from what I can tell spot on! It's a fun, pretty site with exciting products to discover!

The eyeshadow and lip gloss can be purchased separately at $7.00 for the eyeshadow (each) and $6.00 for the lip gloss or you can save $5.00 by purchasing the entire set at $22.00! It's a fun set with fun names and gorgeous colors so I just say buy the entire set! ;)

I did a fun but super simple (and sparkly) look yesterday to match the t-shirt I was wearing. (My husband drew the design!) The combination was too pretty NOT to blog about.

Raspberry Smoke, LOTD!

Zombies!

It's almost FRIDAY! I hope you've all had a nice week! I took a nap this afternoon and had a dream about the look I'm about to post. In my dream I was insistent on finding a "raspberry" colored eyeshadow for the lid. I woke up and immediately implemented this look. I love it so much! It's SO sparkly!





Blurry to show off sparkles!

My Favorite Independent Companies!

UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

Hey Zombies!

I've needed to revise my favorites list for some time now as it's changed drastically over the last year. So, no better time than right now!

I've been blogging for almost 3 years now and most of my favorite indie companies have been a favorite of mine since then. Some have changed, some have fallen off the earth, but my tried and true remain (and I very rarely stray from those that I know and love) and that's what makes them good, solid indie companies. Despite drama and adversity, they aren't going anywhere and continue to crank out lovely products and fantastic customer service.

Fyrinnae: Fyrinnae was among the first companies I purchased from when starting my blogging adventure. As soon as I opened the zebra printed tissue paper, I was in love. There is something special about Fyrinnae pigments. They simply ARE magical. All of the shades I own (which is probably 15 shy of their entire collection) are unique, pigmented, contain just the right amount of glitter or shimmer and last on my lids for an insanely long time. (And yes, that's a good thing.) Fyrinnae strives to cater to their customers and listen with an open ear to any suggestions that may arise. The company also stays away from drama, which loves to crop up these days in the indie world. I love every single new color they produce and because they release new colors sparingly, it's that much more exciting to see what they come out with. Fyrinnae is LOVE in a jar.

Dreaming Tree Soapworks: I've tried my fair share of indie bath and body/perfumery companies in my blogging years. Some I loved, some not so much. Some I won't purchase from or support even if the product is amazing for different reasons. I've been gun shy lately with indie B&B until I tried Dreaming Tree. The scents are amazing, especially Dark Goddess and Alyce and I adore the lotion and facial soap from this company. With so many choices on indie B&B these days, I think I'll stick to Dreaming Tree as I've had no adverse reactions to the products (I'm really critical of face products because I have a pretty sensitive skin) and I adore all the different scents and various products they offer. Their Luxurious Lotions have cured my dry, ugly cuticles. SCORE. Follow Dreaming Tree on Facebook!

Darling Girl Cosmetics: Who doesn't love a little DGC? If you haven't tried their eyeshadow, lip balms, or glitter yet, I don't know what you're waiting for. Darling Girl's owner Susan is super hands on with her customers on her Facebook fanpage and creates customer idea inspired collections all the time! Hello "Nerdvana" and "Darling Grrl". The eyeshadow and lippies from Darling Girl are fun and colorful with just the right amount of sparkle at an affordable price! My favorite holo-gloss from DGC is "Holly Jolly!" Follow Darling Girl Cosmetics on Facebook!


The beauty of independent companies as opposed to big box brands is obviously the affordable prices, but it's also the fact that you can truly get to know the owners of indie companies! You can be hands on in your shopping experience and suggest colors from time to time or have the owner make you something custom to suit your needs and desires. I get asked quite a bit why I like and review indie brands over big box and it's simple, I support handmade in all aspects; with very few exceptions (such as owner harassment of customers, bullying, repackaged or private label products, etc.) I support anything made from the heart and made with awesome and WIN!
