HoneyXO Review and swatches

So I was recently sent some samples of HoneyXO eye shadows to review and I gave it a week or so of use before I decided to post. My initial reaction is highly pigmented, super luxe, nice size samples(which go for a dollar each). I am impressed with Ohana means family and Graffix. These two are just so high end feeling. Ohana can be patted on as a bright bold blue or blended out to be a soft toned down version of itself. I think graffix is my favorite. It's a beautiful rosy pink with a pearly finish. No matter how much I blended this color out, it never lost its integrity. I appreciate that in a loose shadow. I definitely see myself ordering more of Graffix. Just win Baby(raiders reference, I'm sure) is a pure matte white. It is everything you expect a matte white to be. I used it to blend out some of the pearl shadows and it worked just fine. Breaking Dawn, a true gold. It is so pigmented, you only need use a drop. I would say this is one you buy for dramatic looks. I couldnt use this on my skin tone daily. It was a little harder to blend because it is so thick.I don't know what other word to use, but overall it is not a bad shadow and if you're in the market for a gold, check it out. Smash is my least favorite, not because it isn't gorgeous but I just don't see myself needing this color. It is a matte green with gold undertones. It is the least blendable out of the 5. Below is a link to HoneyXO and a picture of some swatches swatched in natural light, over NYX JEP Milk. I do all my swatches like that.






From left to right: Smash, Just win baby, Ohana means family, Graffix, and breaking Dawn.



Overall I am pretty happy with these samples. I will have to try Smash a few more times to get the full effect. I think HoneyXO has some gorgeous shadows at a reasonable price.

Lunatick Cosmetics Lab LLC review and swatches


Ok so I don't ever blog, but I was recently sent some products from Lunatick Cosmetics Lab LLC to review so I thought what better time to start? I'm not much of a story teller so I will jump right into a simple review with pros and cons along with swatches.

Here is the palette(a bright matte colorful palette) and their white primer base. This is not their final packaging. I just received an early palette for reviews sake. As you can see there are a slew of colors to choose from.





This is the first row(minus the red plus the white)The row I have used the most so far. I have wore the first 5 colors to work by themselves with just a basic black winged liner and have gotten so many compliments. The pigmentation is intense and the color pay off is perfection. These are considered neons. I have never seen any colors like these so I am so happy to have them in my possession. Can I tell you I will probably hit pan sooner than I would like because I already wear the ship out of them.



These are just crazy how much color you get out of just one swipe and if you pack it on? You're going to have the most colorful mattes you could ever dream of! I have yet to use all of the bottom row but the mauvey purple pink color at the end is my favorite swatched. I will do a look on my page with those soon.


There are always cons to makeup. Nothing is perfect. There is some fallout with these shadows because they are so soft and blendable, but there is almost always fallout with shadows. I would also say that because they are so soft, you will pick up more than you need and in turn lose some product(unless you pack it back into the pan). As for the color pay off, no cons. Just lovely matte perfection.


The white primer is my new NYX JEP milk...It works as a primer and base. It does feel a little hard in the jar but I stabbed it with a brush end and softened it right up. I love it.

If you would like to purchase these products check out Lunatick Cosmetic Labs LLC on facebook. Their new site and packaging is coming soon!

Forgot to add that all of Lunatick Cosmetic's products are vegan and cruelty free! That's a big plus!!

Ok so I said on my facebook page that I would post pics of the Monster High look I did on my niece, but I was semi fail in taking pics. I think it turned out pretty good considering she had the giggles the entire time and picked a doll I had never seen. Not that I've seen many haha. Anyways here it is.
I used mostly Urban decay. Deluxe shadow box for Graffitti and Flash(gosh I hope it was called flash lol) I used a hot pink Milani shadow called Shocking pink. UD 24/7 pencil in Zero, War paint beauty purple glitter  and UD shadow pencil in Delinquent.  I think this was the most fun I have had with makeup so far because she loved how it turned out and is still wearing it 4 hrs later. It may not be my best work but then again it is..
After I did her makeup I let her do mine and I think she did a better job than I did haha. Here is that pic. Check out my rad brows :P


Hope you all enjoyed my fun makeup day post. I still dont know how to blog -__- I will learn eventually...Later beauty ninjas

As some of you know, fb has layeth the smacketh downeth on our pages. So I thought I'd jump on the banwagon(banwagon or bandwagon?) and make myself a beauty related blog to go along with my fb page. I'm sure this will ultimately become my main page because I'm too jumbled in my brain to manage more than one profile. But for now this is the place to do contests and giveaways. I will be posting a new giveaway very soon so keep your eyes... on the prize? :P anyways, I'm not too good at writing so these posts will be short and sweet. or maybe long and drawn out. Yeah probably long and drawn out. How do you end a post? say goodbye? Idk.. maybe I'll end my posts with "late beauty ninjas" just because I'm a weirdy like that..ok...later beauty ninjas.
