just wanted to show off my newest goody

Last time I was at Sephora, I picked up Too Faced's Violet Femme eyeshadow. I thought it was super pretty in the container. Too bad the pigmentation is SORELY lacking in that color. Multiple layers left me with the golden sparklies, but none of the awesome purple. Not having that. So I returned it, with NO idea what to get in it's place. After about 10 minutes of staring at the Sephora collection, I grabbed a tester on a whim. The tester in question was Sephora Doe felt eyeliner in Blue. And holy shit, am I glad I swatched that puppy! I can say, without question, that I don't have a single color that is similar to it. And the staying power is insane. This is it, along with Urban Decay Eye Envy in Ecstasy -the best purple liner EVER.

So pretty, right?

pink lemonade look

A quick little post. I did this look last week. Bloody Mary bright yellow and Warpaint powder shadow in Spanked, topped with Sex n Candy by Vixoden. Pic heavy!

Oh, and just for the hell of it.....

This pic came out super weird, and I'm not reallllly sure why I posted it. Nevertheless, here it is. Thank you, megaflash >.<

more Vixoden goodies

In a previous post, I mentioned something about big news from Vixoden cosmetics...well, big on my part, anyways. Kim was looking for promoters for her company, to help her get her company's name out there a bit more. I chatted with her a bit, sent her a link to this lovely blog here, and opened my mailbox Friday to find a promoter package waiting for me. I was expecting a few different samples/colors, so what I got blew me away. Kim's idea of a promoter package is the entire Cyber Goth collection! Five different colors in 5 g jars. I was soooo excited when I saw it :) In addition to the promoter package, I also recieved the samples I ordered previously. She is trying to clear out old colors, so there's a massive clearance sale running on them right now. The samples are ENORMOUS. I got 5 of them, and they filled 10g jars, no sweat. Kim was sweet enough to throw in a bonus 5g jar of Ecstasy- my absolute favorite color she sells- as well. I can't wait to get pictures up so you guys can see how amaazing the colors are..not to mention how generous the samples are! Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving..I'll try to get the color swatches up ater...I just switched computers, so I've been trying to get everything situated on this new one..

Vixoden Cosmetics (Kim's Kreations)

Kim's Kreations/ Vixoden Cosmetics is a company I first heard of over the summer. They were offering a special on their Facebook page -I believe it was 8samples for $2 dollars-. I ordered and was overall very pleased with the colors I recieved, in particular Ecstasy and Cryogenic.
So when Kim put up another offer for her fB fans, I couldn't resist. This one was even better- the first 30 people to email with a list of ther favorite shades,would get sample packs FREE.Of course, I had to get in on this! ( When I sent in my color picks, my email was kind enough to bounce the message back to me, not Kim. I re-sent, and she was kind enough to respond immediately. The communication here is really excellent. That's important to me. I like when a company sees its'customers as people, not just payments.)


Onto swatches! The left color in each pic is over NYX base camp primer; the right swatch is bare skin.

Sex n Candy: this is a gorgeous shimmery pink with tons of sparkles. I'm not normally a pink girl, but this one leapt off the website at me. I knew I had to have it.

Ecstasy: This is my reason for returning to Vixoden Cosmetics. Ecstasy is the most gorgeous shade of blue ever invented. This is in my top 5 eyeshadows. The blue immediately draws your eye in, but it's only after that, you realize HOLY CRAP THERE'S MEGA SILVER SPARKLES IN THIS. It's PERFECT.

Ecstasy some more, just because I can.

Cryogenic: This one didn't swatch on bare skin too well, but you can see the mega pigmentation on the left /primer swatch. Another bright color with rediculous amounts of sparkle.

L-R: Rave, MR. Frog, Hulk Smash.
I'm not even sure why I uploaded this picture. The colors are WAY off. Damn flash. In reality, Rave is a turquoise, Mr. Frog is a summery green with beautiful emerald glitter, and Hulk Smash is a sparkly dark green. What's also interesting about Hulk is that in the container, it appeared a matte grayed green. I'm so glad it wasn't.

Speaking of packaging, Kim sends her samples in plain envelopes. In the envelopes are small baggies with a handwritten sticker label on each. Sadly, when I opened my envelope, Sex n Candy's baggie had stuck to Ecstasy's (see? Even other shadows love Ecstasy) and when I tried to peel them apart, I realized there was also a hole in Sex n Candy :( Luckily, I was able to find this:

Bead storage containers! They were on sale, 40% off at Michaels. I grabbed two- one for this order, and one for my next, which is due to arrive in the next couple weeks or so... I just carefully transferred the shadows from their mini baggies to the bead containers. (btw, I love that the stickers on the baggies were the PERFECT size to transfer onto the containers as well. That was a stroke of luck on my part.)

My overall thought of Vixoden Cosmetics/ Kim's Kreations?
Wonderful. Colors to die for, excellent commnication, decently sixed samples- especially when, hello, they're free-. overall very, very satisfactory experience. I get the feeling these ladies  really do care about their customers, and not just about making a quick buck.
