AFK Cosmetics Summer Lovin' 2015 Swatches!


Hey everyone, I have swatches of AFK Cosmetics' recent Summer Lovin' collection today!  It's an Advent Calender style collection where you're only supposed to open one item per day.  Of course, being as impatient as I am, I opened them all at once and wasn't even sorry.  I believe AFK does this twice a year, once in the summer and once in the winter.  I opted for the sample size collection because I don't use up full size products anyway.  And I know it's almost the end of summer, but as long as I get it out before then, right? :P

This is an inside joke, but basically in my previous order, Dena had drawn me a melted snowman and she revived it here :P

Beautiful Blonde Pineapple
Beautiful Blonde Pineapple:  pale yellow with silver sparkles.  This is a sample from the very own, AFK Cosmetics!  It's very satiny and feminine.




Beauty School Dropout
Beauty School Dropout:  matte pale pink.  This is a sample from Blackbird Cosmetics, who specializes in matte shadows.  Everyone raves about them and I'm not a matte lover, so I can't fully appreciate the quality, but it is very soft and pigmented.

Preen Cosmetics First Impression and Swatches!


Today I'm reviewing lipsticks from a newly opened indie makeup shop, Preen Cosmetics.  It was created by a well loved user on IMAM and had received great reviews.  I actually ordered during the second wave because I have so many lip products in my collection already, but seeing all the great swatches and reviews changed my mind.  There are five creamy and pigmented lipsticks in her collection right now and I ordered two full sized tubes in colors I believe I'd wear more often.

When my package arrived, it turned out the owner, Jenn, had sent me samples of the three other lipsticks so I was able to try them all!  The shop and product names are all avian themed and her packaging reflects that.

Sweet note from Jenn!
