Oh my goodness!

I really need to keep up with all this info on cosmetic companies that repackage.So it was pointed out that the E by Evelyn cosmetics and brushes are all repackaged from Coastal Scents. Indeed they are repackaged.The logo is just slapped on there.I am very disappointed with E by Evelyn as well as myself.

See for yourself.
 E by Evelyn.$24.95
Coastal Scents.$19.95

They are the same colors but in the Evelyn picture they are inverted.This palette is way cheaper at CS.
Then there is the whole Coastal Scents scandal. Unsafe ingredients are very troubling.Especially in things that are used everyday.I'm not sure if they have updated their ingredients since the scandal.The palette is great but if it is unsafe to use then I recommend waiting for them to update their ingredients.

Tis' the season to be...

Patient.Yes, patient.I understand that at times it may be hard to do especially in holiday seasons.Even more  when waiting for purchases to arrive in time for the holidays.But we must understand that companies (indies as well as mainstream) get bombarded with orders and they get behind on shipping and even run out of stock.The companies may have a few people on staff.Their systems could have crashed.A number of things could happen that can cause delays.We must remember that on the other side of the screen are HUMANS who are working hard to get orders out,answering questions,updating systems, and such.Even in non holiday seasons we must also be patient.

Manic Panic High Voltage Lipgloss.




This is a nice frosty pink lip gloss.It looks pretty sheer when applied.It can be used as a top coat over a darker pink lipstick or lip stain. The lip gloss comes with a mirror built in on the side.It lights up as well.

Knock 'em Dead Total Look Kit Review.




 Step-by-step cards.
This kit includes:Spectral pressed powder,eyelashes,white creme base and highlighter,Raven eyeshadow,jet black creme eyeliner,red lip lacquer,black lip lacquer,lip liner in Raven,1 dual-ended eyeliner applicator,1 shadow applicator,1 lip brush,1 face sponge,and three step-by-step guides.
Swatches of the products:

 Lip liner in Raven.
Black lip lacquer,red lip lacquer.
 White shadow/base,Raven eyeshadow.
 Spectral powder.
Top:lip brush,eye liner brush,shadow brush and lip liner.

I love this kit!The lip lacquers can be applied for a sheer or bold effect.The shadows are silky and last a long time on their own.They can also be worn with a primer.The spectral powder is super white it can be layered on for a paler effect.The lip lacquers can also be layered on for more intense color.But they do have a crayon like taste/scent.I love the brushes! They are great to work with and fairly easy to clean.I clean them with a deep moisturizing conditioner then I rinse them.(I don't submerge them in water) I then put them to dry on a towel.I have used the eyelashes and they stick for a little,if they are removed several times then the glue will not work.Eyelids have to be clean and dry.I use extra eyelash glue since they don't hold well after several uses.

Eye Wear Crème Eyeshadow & Liner Review.




Left-eyeliner,Right-Raven shadow.
I love this eyeliner and shadow!The brush makes the application effortless and it lasts a long time too!This product is great for travel.
