MOI Cosmetics swatches!

Happy Saturday Zombies!

My friend Holly over at MOI Cosmetics (an indie cosmetic company I've trusted since I first started blogging way back in 2009) sent me a fun care package that I thought I'd swatch for you! I'm drooling over these colors! (Thanks again Holly!)

*I realized when editing my photos, I failed to swatch Wicked Madd. I'm not even sure how it escaped me. I'll describe it below as best I can. I also spelled "Peeper" PEPPer on one of the photos. *face palm*

New packaging called "Shadow Shots"






Hooray swatches! (Eyeshadow swatched over Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy.)


Outside in the shade


Holy mother of sparkle are these shades amazing or what? I was surprised by the complexity of some of the eyeshadow- such as Lost City. I didn't expect the pink sparkles within the icy blue base. Lucky in Love has an amazing purple sheen to it which was also unexpected. It's Electrifying was SO bright and pigmented it gave me an "O" face. Time Lord is another complex shade- a coral color with a beautiful pink shift to it. I quite love all of the shades Holly picked out for me, and don't think I could name a favorite. Wicked Madd (the shade I failed to swatch) is a lovely Mauve with a green sheen and green sparks.

Lip gloss too!

Purple and Orange, LOTD!

Zombies!

I did it, I actually played with my makeup today! I feel accomplished. This is such a fun combo. Orange and Purple go together quite well. I'm getting so excited that it's getting closer to Fall, so I can start wearing my darker makeup and more fun combos using orange eyeshadow!

90 Days of Beauty, Day 78! Moi Minerals Quickie!

Hey Zombies!

Soo...our weekend comes to a close. Did you do anything exciting this weekend?

Last week I received a fun care package from Holly at Moi Minerals. She sent me 5 of her new Intense Blends eyeshadow and a Kiss My Lips gloss! I have swatches for you all.

The Intense Blends remind me SO much of MAC's crushed pigments in consistency and pigmentation. They blend down to an almost metallic finish. Very pretty, and a little goes a LONG way!

Chiller Attraction




My favorites of the lot are River Rain Field of Gold and I love Chiller Attraction! It is so smooth and creamy on my lips.

If you haven't been to Moi's website, I recommend you run, not walk and check it out. one of my favorites from her store is Diego, a medium taupe with a strong blue shift. Lovely!

Have you tried Moi Minerals yet? What are you favorite products from them?

Swatches are FUN! *GREEN*

Swatches are fun, but swatching is NOT!

Tonight is a beautiful rainy night here in Albuquerque. It rained for a good hour earlier with TONS of lightning and thunder. My kids were troopers and actually slept through most of it! I wanted to stay offline as much as possible, so decided to do some swatching. I'll be swatching all my eyeshadows by color. YAY! I remember before starting my blog how I liked to Google certain shades before buying. I thought swatches were extremely helpful, so this is a 'sharing is caring' post.

So tonight I bring you my "green" swatches. This is mainly ONLY mineral eyeshadow. I didn't want to do through my palettes, cause, well...MEH. It became abundantly clear that I do not own enough green shades. I must fix that, and SOON! lol


The contenders this evening: (in no particular order)

Fyirnnae
Hi-Fi Cosmetics
NYX
Evil Shades
High Voltage Cosmetics
OrglamixMoi Minerals
Concrete Mineral

 I hope you're all having a fantastic evening. I'm off for a little R&R and then bed.

OOoo Bright Saturdays, Lazy Days! LOTD

Good afternoon Zomblets!

I woke up this morning in a terrific mood. And I believe I reflected my mood in my makeup today. We're heading to my husband's folks house here in a bit so I thought I'd make a quick look for youse all!  I worked with Moi Minerals today and really liked the outcome.

Moi Minerals Review and !SWATCHES!

 Hello my lovely Zombie lovers!

Ok....I am really excited about tonight's post, because well, when I first received my package from this company, my heart sank. All the colors looked like something I already owned (in their clam shells.) So I was bummed that I might have to write my first "meh, they were OK" post. Until I swatched the bitches! Ooooo!
