New Glamour Doll Eyes colours

Hey everyone:  a week or so ago, Vee left word on Facebook that the had some samples of the new colours that would be included with orders so that is what I have for you tonight.  Mom and I both ordered some of the new blushes (very lovely!) and received not only sample pots of four new shadow colours but also nail polish!  Mom received Candy Floss while I received Makin A Scene.  I have tried Vee's nail polish and I must say I am very impressed.  Not only is the coverage excellent with one coat but the colours are very vibrant, rich and shimmery!  I painted my nails with Makin A Scene on Sunday (one coat, no base, no sealer) and my polish is still chip free and going strong. 

The blushes we ordered are Day Job and Polish My Halo.  Trust me, they are shimmery and beautiful, you NEED them in your collection!



The swatch for the blushes didn't turn out but wait until you see the new colours we received.  Between the two of us, we actually managed to score six of the new colours...(seriously I am in LOVE!).



L-R: Junkie, Pillow Fight, Busted








L-R: Hitch Hiker, Burlesque, Frat Boy





I really do LOVE all six of the new colours we received and cannot wait to see what else Vee has up her sleeve.  The new colours are to be released July 10 (from GDE on Facebook). 




Brazen Cosmetics UltraPlush(tm) Liquid Lipsticks

As a Brazen Beauty, I was given the opportunity to review some of Brazen's newest product, UltraPlush(tm) Liquid Lipsticks.  These lipsticks offer opaque full coverage with a creamy soft texture and smell like a vanilla cupcake.  Packaged in a 11ml click pen, these lipsticks are listed at $13.99 (https://brazencosmetics.com).

The colours I received: Preppy, Swagger, Trophy Wife, Mirage, Panacea, Hot to Trot, Starlet and Sordid.




So far, I have only tested out Panacea but Swagger, Mirage and Preppy will likely make their way into my weekly make-up rotation.  I literally didn't have to touch up my colour all day, even after lunch!  The formula is super silky, very pigmented and smells wonderful!  Two thumbs up!!

All swatches over bare skin, photographed with indoor light.



L-R:  Starlet, Hot to Trot, Preppy and Trophy Wife.



L-R: Swagger, Mirage, Panacea and Sordid.

Points of note: all natural/organic, wide range of colours, contains vitamins and antioxidents, gluten/paraben/chemical/phthalate/cruelty-free.


 
This is what the click pens look like - kind of like a medium sized marker.  The colour is Mirage.


If you would like to give these wonderfully pigmented lipsticks a try, head on over to the Brazen website to check out all of the available colours (15 in all).  You can use the code BrazenTrishaLips to get 25% off any of the liquid lipsticks.  I'm thinking of picking up one in Aphrodite, Nerd Repellent and Catalyst, how about you?
