About Face Cosmetics Powdered Diamond Dusts Review

I mentioned the About Face Cosmetics Powdered Diamond Dusts in a previous review which appears to have been lost when I had wordpress trouble last month.

The diamond dusts in the sample bags that I got were not as shimmery as I thought they'd be, and after Heather read the review she offered to send me full size jars so that I could compare the two, and said that these were some of her most popular products.

Of course I agreed, and Heather generously sent me two jars, even though I said that one would be more than enough...

Buff Palette - Alice Cosmetics

Ok, so technically this isn't makeup - but it makes applying my makeup so much more fun!

I have to admit that I was interested in Alice Cosmetics Buff Palette, $22.95, as soon as I saw it.

I thought I was doing fine, swirling my mineral makeup in the lids, and dipping eyeshadow brushes into sample baggies to apply my makeup.

Boy was I wrong!

First I have to say that I was surpised at how big the buff palette was!

As you can see in the photo I have one full sized foundation jar in my buff palette, and 5 sample jars. Of course since each palette is handthrown there is a slight variation in the size of individual palettes...

Bellisima Trucoo Minerale

I received several products Bellisima Trucoo Minerale to review about two weeks ago, and I've really put them through the ringer.

I've spent several days gardening outside in hot weather, and I was caught in a rainstorm.

Through it all these minerals have held up!

Lancome Prune Drama Girl Color Fever Lipstick Review

I have to start out by saying that I love the name of this lipstick! Prune drama girl is just fun to say it, and of course, I'm one of those people that actually like prunes.

Prune drama girl is one of Lancome's Color Fever Lipsticks.

I was really impressed at how smooth the lipstick felt when I applied it. My lips felt moisturized, and I didn't feel like I needed to immediately apply lip balm like I do with many lipsticks.

About Face Cosmetics Colors for A Cause Review

As I mentioned before, I bought two About Face Cosmetics Eyeshadows, and three samples when About Face was doing Colors for A Cause, which benefitted a boy with cystic fibrosis.

I've tried About Face cosmetics back when they were Twisted Fayte, and they single handedly sparked my interest in mineral makeup.

When I read that 100% of the profits were going to the family, I was already planning to buy the duo, even though I couldn't see the actual colors of the shadows on my computer screen when I ordered.

HollyRose Aromatherapy Sweet Orange Lip Balm Review

I love lip balm, and I was really excited when I recieved 3 lip balms in my Lemming Central samper box.

The first one I tried was HollyRose Aromatherapy's Sweet Orange Lip Balm.

Although the it's listed as a Sweet Orange, I notice a whiff of chocolate when I first applied the balm, and I still notice it when I use it.

The balm applied easily, is very slick, and leaves my lips feeling soft and moisturized.
