Evil Shades Cosmetics: Hardcore Lips and Deviant Lipstick

As you know from my previous post, I recently placed on order with Evil Shades Cosmetics. I was going to do a giant post of awesomeness to show you all of the goodies I got but that would be so incredibly long that I decided to make separate posts for blush, lip products and eye products.

I ordered deviant lipstick samples in Corset and Mage which are packaged in the same clam shells as the eyeshadow and blush samples are. The hardcore lips samples are packaged in cylinder shaped containers which makes containing the gloss easier and makes it less likely that one will make a mess of their hands.... I ordered them in Roue, Dragon's Wing and Anastasia.

Eyeko Polishes: Cosmic, Vampira, Rain and Posh

I recently made my first purchase of Eyeko products. I bought four polishes and received a free gift of a Graffiti Eyeliner felt tip pen from using an ambassador code. Each polish came to $6 or €5 for .3 fl oz which is a bit expensive but totally worth it as the packaging for each color is unique and adorable, the color choices are diverse and the formula is incredible.

High Voltage Cosmetics: Eyeshadow and Magic Dust Swatches

I heard about High Voltage Cosmetics from a few blogs that I read regularly and once I visited their website I knew I had to try them. I was so excited when I saw their eyeshadow pigment grab bags. For $2.50, High Voltage will send you five 1/4th teaspoon baggies. That comes down to $0.50 a sample! I asked for a random selection and got a good variety of shadows. I ordered 15 samples and I'm happy with all of them. Some colors are basic while others are really unique. Overall, I would say that it was well worth the money. Each color is packaged in a little baggie with a name and ingredients sticker as the company is committed keeping samples at an affordable price for their customers. I also purchased a sample size of magic dust, their super sparkly highlighter.

tokidoki lip products: Lip Ink and Prisma Gloss

My love of tokidoki has been ongoing since they launched their makeup products at Sephora. Recently there was a lot of discounted products online so I indulged in a quite a few lip and eye products. I bought two Prisma Glosses, a Lip Ink, a Perfetto eyeliner and a third Cromatico palette.

First of all how cute are the boxes that the Prisma Glosses are packaged in.

Nails of the Day: Red! (and a top coat conundrum)

My nails have two coats of N.Y.C.'s Expert Last Nail Polish in I <3 NY on all nails except the ring finger which has three coats of Deborah Lippmann's Ruby Red Slippers. Everything is covered with a coat of Seche Vite. Picture time!

Click to Enlarge for the glory that is Ruby Red Slippers.

Now on to my situation. I am nearing the bottle of my Seche Vite topcoat which I haven't been loving lately. It's gotten thick and not applying nicely and it shrinks back at the tips something awful. It's almost $8 a bottle and for that price I should be loving it to the last drop. What's your favorite topcoat? Leave suggestions for me in the comment box please! Thanks for reading and your help!

beauty.com Polish Insanity

As I mentioned in my last post, I just received my first beauty.com order and I am sort of embarrassed to admit how much I spent. I saved some money by going through Ebates so I'm getting 6% cash back and I saved $5 from an online coupon as well. If you like money and shop online ever I suggest joining ebates by clicking the above link. So here's what I got:

OPI Black Shatter

Red Sparkles and Black Crackle

My first order from beauty.com came in on Friday and I couldn't resist but to try my OPI Black Shatter over a red base so I could try the newest nail trend for myself.
