Moon Rabbit Cosmetics - Special Force Collection Launch

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share with you Moon Rabbit Cosmetics' Fall line as it is finally available for purchase. As an added bonus, all of the special force collection shadows are buy 2 get 1 free (works for sample baggies AND full size jars).

Based off some of my favorite characters from Dragon Ball Z, Ginyū Tokusentai. They are one of the most ridiculous and probably sparkliest characters in the whole series. Boiled down, they are a mix of Power Rangers and Sailor Moon. How could you not love that?! I don't know if you enjoy watching anime, but you will definitely love the shadows they inspired!

Commander - deep purple bursting with violet and silver shimmers

Red Magma - white with red shift, and full of gold shimmers

Blue Hurricane - bright blue with a subtle gold shift

Ultra Eraser Gun - peachy orange with a gold shift

Time Freeze - lime green with blue shimmers

What do you think of this collection? I had a blast working on it. The colors, I think, are quite beautiful and look wonderful over a variety of different primers and bases. You can wear them as a sheer everyday eye look just over a primer like UDPP, or you can really amp up the color using a foiling medium or colored bases. The versitility really makes it like you have 20 different shadows instead of just five! I exaggerate a little, but you know what I mean.

Would you wear any of these colors? Do you think these colors make a good fall collection? How would you put these colors together to create a look?

Wet N Wild Lipstick Swatches

Hey everyone! I have been M.I.A. lately. Things have gotten busy at home and I was sick, had a week full of headaches and the ATTACK OF THE KILLER ALLERGIES!!! Anyway, no excuses, just giving you all an update. As I have been trying to go through and swatch all my lipsticks it seems that this post magically disappeared. I do not know why, anyways... Today is going to be full of Wet N Wild spam!

Things I love, these lipsticks. Things I don't love so much, how difficult Vamp It Up is to work with. I love the color. It is just perfect for fall, it just needs a little help. I recently picked up a few dark purple lip liners to see how the work with Vamp It Up. Cherry Picking is just an awesome red. I think many people could wear this red and look just wonderful. 24 Carrot Gold and Purty Persimmon however, are a bit more difficult for everyone to pull off. I am not sure if I have the right skin tone for Purty Persimmon, but I do know that I do NOT like how 24 Carrot Gold looks on me. I am going to try to layer it with glosses and see if I can make it work for me. I am loving Rose-bud and Coral-ine. Rose-bud is a perfect dusty rose. I have forsaken Tea Rose from NYX and have since replaced it with Rose-bud as my perfect office lipstick. (Coral-ine, honestly was mostly purchased because of the name. I love corals and I really loved the book Coraline. It is what it is. At least I am honest.=] ) Coral-ine is a pretty orangy, pinky, red that I just can't get enough of! It seems to be a less orange and more red/pink version of NYX Matte Lipstick in Indie Flick. My current love of the NYX Matte Lipstick line. It seems there are not many lipsticks that I have purchased that I am not totally in love with. I think I have a disease.

The only color I am not fond of at all, is 24 Carrot Gold. Do you have any tips or tricks to make this lipstick work? Is it worth it or a lost cause?

What is your favorite Wet N Wild lipstick? Are there any that I do not have that I really must pick up?

Moon Rabbit Cosmetics - Special Force Collection EOTD

Seeing as I am almost ready to launch the fall collection I thought I would give to a sneak peek by sharing a look I did recently with three of the shadows. I used Commander, Time Freeze and Red Magma.


This is a fairly simple look, and honestly I am sure anyone could do it. I started out by patting Darling Girl Glitter Glue all over my lid. I have been playing with it and I am in love. I do find, though, that if you use too much it will crease like nobody's business.

Next I took commander and patted it all over the outer 1/2 of my lid, went slightly higher than my crease and created a v shape.

Then I patted Time Freeze all over my lid, blending it with Commander.

Lastly I placed a small amount of Red Magma in the inner corner and under my brow bone. I blended some into the crease to soften the line a little and done! All you need to do is add mascara and you are ready to go!

**these were the pressed versions of the shadows as I was trying to test out how well they would hold up as well as how the application would be**

What do you think of this look? Do you like to wear purples with greens? I will say I had a hard time capturing all the sparkles that are in the shadows. Are you excited about the release of this collection?

Fyrinnae Swatches

I finally decided on what I wanted to try so I FINALLY ordered from Fyrinnae. I picked five shades that I thought I would really love. I hate to say this, but I was not completely in love with everything I received. Everyone always talked about how wonderful everything was, I really only loved half of my order. Maybe I didn't order the right things? Opinion? on to the photos!

Pumpkinfire, Orangutan, Te Amo

I am in love with orangutan and I am sure I will love pumpkinfire over a sticky base, but mostly Te Amo! After seeing Lily use it here, I knew I just had to have it. It was the most amazingly interestingly complex neutral color you could possibly own! I am not really all the impressed with Sugar Skulls in person. It looked nice on their site, but it just doesn't do anything for me. I am really dissapointed with my lack of love for Picture it: Sicily. I saw swatches and looks using it everywhere and love it. As soon as I got it, it was like meh. My biggest dissapointment was Candy Coated the free sample I received. I know I shouldn't complain about a free sample, but it just wasn't amazing to me. It wasn't really unique to me, as I am sure I have two similar colors, and it really is not a color I would wear often.

What are your thoughts on these colors? 

Do you think they hype build up made it so I was so let down or did I just not order the right eye shadows? Suggestions?
