Candii Blossom Eye Shadows - Indie Brand

So I had the pleasure of working with Candii Blossom Cosmetics, she sent me 5 sample clamshells of her eye shadows for me to review. Before I even get into the colors I have to say they smell awesome. I just absolutely love the way they smell. She picked out five very vibrant awesome colors. I was super excited to open the envelope and check them out.

The packaging is very cute and the tiny clamshells are awesome. I will say I am not one for the little baggies, too messy and just annoying, so this totally made me super excited that they came in mini clamshells.

The five colors she sent me were Sky, Oh Tiffany, Morning Glory, Erin and Lava Flow. Now they are all great vibrant colors so here is each one of them.

Lava Flow is a beautiful red with some sparkles. I love it.. I will definitely be using it.

Next up is Sky.. a gorgeous cornflower blue. Looks amazing.

Then we have OH, Tiffany another blue, this one is beautiful and lighter then Sky. I love it.. I can't wait to use it in a look.

Erin is a incredible yellow. I love yellows this is no exception

Lastly, but not least is Morning Glory a wonderful purple.

All of the colors are so vibrant. I love all the colors she sent me and will definitely be grabbing more from her shop, especially since they smell so tasty.

You can purchase these beauties and many more over at her Artfire shop

And for my Nail polish fiends she also sells Nail Polish. I am going to purchase some and review those for you as well. I might even do a giveaway for some shadows I purchase for you all.

Color Club Winter Affair Giveaway ends on August 29th, 2013 comes with 4 nail polishes

So I am trying to get back in the habit of a weekly giveaway since I used to hold a weekly giveaway and then I stopped since I had low entries. So I am going to start working harder on promoting myself again and getting myself out there. Since I want to be able to show you guys great things and share with you all great things.

This giveaway prize was purchased with my own money. All the opinions on the polish are my own.

So I picked up this polish the other day and decided to grab a second package for you guys since I loved the colors. Sadly my nails have been breaking like crazy so sorry for the short nail pictures. I will work on that.

This package is called Winter Affair and comes with 4 Color Club nail polishes. It comes with a purple with blue undertones and glitter, a green with blue undertones and glitter and a red with glitter and a clear with sparkly white glitter chunks.

I love how easy this polish goes on and how nice it looks. I only used one coat for each of the applications you see.

Thrift store finds - Purses

So the other day I went to Goodwill in search of geeky stuff for the stuff I am sewing and sadly found very little, mostly just small kids stuff with stuff to use as appliques but nothing great.. well one good shirt for a dress, hopefully I can get done in time for Comic Con.. but we shall see.

But I did come across these babies and I had to have them. The Betsyville was a polka dotted purse so I am in love with polka dots and its so cute. The map purse was just adorable and totally my style. I love history. It's a very vintage inspired, might even be vintage. It's just too darn cute.

Now that I have given you the skinny on these babies. I want to tell you my thoughts. Now I am always looking for good eyeliner. I am a eye rubber because of the issues I have with my eye. So for me a good eyeliner is pertinent. Now I swatched them on my arm and 15 minutes later I was doing something and forgot it was there, normally that would mean that I would have smudged it and it would have been all over my fingers. It didn't move at all, my finger was clean and the color stay put. I was actually really excited, I showed my BF who just looked at me like I was crazy. I was super happy. I mean that's like something that doesn't happen often. So though I got these babies for free, I can promise you when I run out, I will be buying more. Call Me, is going to be a staple in my makeup bag from now on. It's just straight up sick. LOVE these eyeliners. Best surprise mail in a while.

Lynnderella Very Pretty Vampire review and swatches

I had heard a ton of things about Lynnderella and I hadn't had the chance to grab one. Then the other day I got a Very Pretty Vampire. It was a beautiful glitter polish with small purple circles and medium sized red squares. I liked the color so I had to get it.

I love the color but I couldn't get it to go on smoothly. It was super glitter heavy. Maybe it was just my bottle, since it was depotted for me into a smaller bottle. I might try thinning it out a bit, but I couldn't get it to work for me.

I like the colors, so hopefully I will find a use for it.

Neener Neener Nails Butterfly Kisses Review and Swatches

I picked up this polish from a blog sale since I had never tried it before. I had never heard of the brand, but I really liked the color.

This is a new to me Indie Brand called N3 or Neener Neener Nail Polish. She makes beautiful polish. The one I bought was a cream light pink with blue and purple small glitter and pink butterfly glitter.

I like the color, it's a bit hard to get all the glitter out of the bottle. I like the way the pink is a really sweet light pink color. I love the adorable pink butterfly glitter.

Wonderful indie brand. You can find this color and more colors here

My Little Pony Nail Polishes from Hot Topic

I ended up picking these adorable nail polishes because I am a huge MLP (My Little Pony, both friendship is magic and the original ponies from the 80's.) I have been collecting as my mother puts it from before I was born. I own somewhere near 1000 maybe more. I someday plan to display them all in my makeup room on shelves. They are a good link to my past.

Now I got 2 polishes that day a purple and a white sparkle. I liked them. They don't go on globby, they look nice and the white sparkle is a almost sheer polish with a ton of white glitter that make it almost seem like a white shiny polish instead of glittery.

There is one thing I dislike about them, the glitter on the cap, it makes it hard to open and the glitter comes off on everything. I might just clean off the caps, because I would rather it didn't.
