EOTD - Gingersnaps Purple!

Hey Beautiful People

Here is another EOTD I keep forgetting to post them here sorry feel free to give me gentle prodding haha.

This EOTD came about because I wanted to use a beautiful Custom colour that Susan of darling girl cosmetics made me called gingersnap (main lid colour) as I asked (begged) for a dupe of my all time fave MAC pigment Green Brown. Susan did a amazing job maybe if you ask nicely it could make a appearance in the DG store? who knows...

I hope you like this EOTD <3

Hey Beautiful People

Today this is a very quick review about one of my new fave colours! Anyone who knows me (and follows me here and on my facebook) would probably have worked out I am obsessed with Greens and Blues! So when Susan of Darling Girl Cosmetics came up with the shade Rich Gurl I KNEW i must be mine!

Full sizes ($5.90 USD each) are packaged in 5g jars with approximately 3/4 tsp of product. Petits ($2.50 USD each) are packaged in 3g jars with approximately 1/4 tsp of product. Samples are packaged in 2x2 zip lock baggies with approximately 1/8 tsp of product. All jars come with a sealed sifter.

With the massive increase in International shipping Susan the owner of Darling Girl Cosmetics came up with a great option for us Int girls there is an additional option for all shadows (minus stardusts) to be placed in baggies making shipping costs a whole lot cheaper.When ordering you can however only choose baggies (meaning you cant add on any lippys, primers etc).

Each DG colour has an individual ingredients list which I love the including whether the shade is lip safe or not below is Rich Gurl's ingredients list.

 

Mica, Carnauba Wax, Titanium Dioxide, Tin Oxide, Silica, Ultramarines, Chromium Oxide Green. NOT Lip Safe.

  

This item was posted well within the stated TAT and arrived via int-post within around 2-3 weeks =) Susan includes in every order a Petit exclusive GWP colour they are always interesting shades =)

 

This shadow is smooth and applies well to the lid for best results I do recommend a sticky base my personal preference is Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy. This shade is extremely sheer on bare skin a coloured base and or sticky base will bring out the true POP of this shade.

 

Colour Description

Darling Girl Description - She is more than meets the eye, at first glance she is a sky blue but mover her towards a light source and she takes on a kind of periwinkle hue and even in some lights (I find artificial light brings the shift out more) she looks almost a bronze-y shade and put her over a black base and POW a vibrant green comes to life!

My Description - A Shimmery periwinkle blue with a kelly green shift.

 

Whats your favrouite duo-chrome colour?

Hey Ya'll

Let's talk gloss... or more importantly HOLO-gloss... I purchased a single Holo-gloss a while back for a 3mL click pen it costs $5.25 USD. Holo-glosses are sheer colours that have a beautiful finish, these glosses are great to layer over lipsticks/stains. McSwatchy apart of the Blogger collection (named after indivitual bloggers) Sue the owner has individual ingredients lists for each item which is good especially for people with allergies.

McSwatchy Ingredient list
Ingredients: Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Bee's Wax, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer, Butylene/Ethylene/Styrene Copolymer. Also contains: Synthetich Fluorophylogoptie, Silica, Titanium Dioxide, Tin Oxide and FD&C Red #40

McSwatchy Sadly dosnt last on me it wears extreamly fast even when avoiding food and drinks so i do find my self frequently applying. The gloss isnt 'goopy' it applys well and dosent turn tacky. As mentioned above McSwatchy is a great colour to layer over any red,orange or darker shades of brown.

Colour Description
Darling Girl - Soft golden berry with loads of gold and pink holo-sparkle
My Description - A reddish brown packed with Gold and red holo-glitter

 
Have you tried Darling Girl holo-glosses?

NOTE - This is the first time i have EVER done lip swatches so be kind =)

 

Hey all so here is yet another product review =p this time I am reviewing the Darling Girl Cosmetic Lip Primer called the Pout Perfect Lip Primer.

Official DGC description - Try Darling Girl Cosmetics Pout Perfect for pout perfection! The easy-glide formula feels velvety-soft will fill in lines, build up the contour of your lips while helping lipstick stay put longer and resist fading and feathering.

 

*Note this is a fairly soft formula and for some reason it doesn't like to twist back down into the tube so don't twist it up too much.

 

Ingrededients: Cyclomethicone, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Ozokerite Wax, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Microcrystalline Wax and Mentha piperita (Peppermint) Oil

 

 

 

 

This product comes packaged in a twist up lipstick tube with a cute (not waterproof) label. The product looks white in colour but as you can see in the picture below it applies clear.

 

The sizing of the tube is quite reasonable you get 0.07 oz for $5.75 USD. As mentioned on the DGC web page this product if you twist it up to far it doesn’t wind down easily I found placing it in the freezer worked best for winding down SLIGHTLY. However this issue IS addressed on the DGC webpage which I mentioned earlier.

The lip primer applies smoothly and has a hydrating feel about it, I don’t get any ‘tingling’ from the peppermint or any unpleasant or overbearing scent. I tested this primer against OCC Lip Tar in NSFW which is a shade NOTORIOUS on me to feather below are the before and after photos

 

the last two photos were taken after I went out for lunch so not bad =) and as you can see NO signs of feathering =) over all i am very impressed

Packaging: 6/10

Final thoughts: for a Indy lip primer this is fantastic one of the BEST I have tried it definitely helped with my feathering issue and helped my lip tar last. It is SLIGHTLY hard to work with as it is a very soft formula  (thus the lower score on packaging) a light hand works best when applying and not to overwind (like it did >_<) but I will buy again once I use up my tube =)
