Haul from Cherry Culture: Amuse Cosmetics and NYX!

I ordered from CherryCulture.com and I got stuff by AMUSE Cosmetics. :)

Youtube review under the cut!


Please excuse my general lack of foundation...it was 11pm at night. xD
This look was created using mostly the Forever 16 Palette. I might have stolen a little bit of eyeshadow from the Twinkle Star palette too but I don't really remember. I used the NYX MILK Jumbo Eye Pencil as a BASE for these shadows! You can see how vibrant they are over the white eyepencil.

Btw. Both the pencil and the shadows contain METHYLPARABENS and PROPYLPARABENS. Just letting you know! :-S The effects of parabens on our skin and bodies is still largely unknown but some studies suggest adverse effects after long term usage.... they are used as preservatives to prevent mold and other nasty stuff from growing in your eyeshadows, lip products, etc. When I formulate my own shadows and lippies I plan to avoid parabens altogether and seek alternative forms of preservatives. Parabens are used in mostly for water based substances, like lotions! Water gives a place for bacteria to grow unlike oil based substances....

KrystaalRain on Youtube: Make-Up Inspirations

So I think this is going to be a make-up related post. :D

Lately I've been stuck in a rut make-up wise...I don't know why but even using the Kat Von D palettes I so fawn over, I've been feeling sort of BLAH. I guess I wish I had more MAC stuff like a palette of eyeshadows or bright colors. Sugarpill, etc...but I guess my old Urban Decay stuff will suffice for now. :3 I have some Rocket City stuff on the way since it's only $1.99 per item no matter what item, from wholesalecosmetics.com (!!) :D Rocket City was one of the first makeup brands I ever bought and wore religiously. It's like a blast from the past! Retrofuturism! :D

ALSO.....
Only 3 days till Aromaleigh's final sale before they shut down shop for good, so don't forget to get your last minute mineral makeup....I know I will order at least SOME thing from her site...I especially adore her blush. *eyeballing roomie's Aromaleigh stuff* xD

Despite hearing so much hate about LimeCrime, their lipsticks are EPIC. Seriouslllly. I found myself using the My Beautiful Rocket (bright orange) lipstick quite frequently. >_<;


Anywayyyyy the real point of this post was to share a very inspiring youtube-r with you all. Her name is KrystaalRain and she has AWESOME HAIR but even more AWESOME are her makeup abilities! :D

When I saw her sporting this look on her "About my dreads" video, I just had to try it myself! So I will be using mostly Urban Decay products to try and get the same look she has. :D

Jelly Pong Pong Arrival!

それが最終的にここにある！ ロング化粧品の到着を待っていた！
各項目が一意である
いくつかの彼らの中にパッケージデザインに動物や昆虫を組み込む
どのように美しい！甘い！

私は大好き JELLY PONG PONG！

I am so happy! I finally got my shipment (yesterday) of Jelly Pong Pong cosmetics! Jelly Pong Pong is a brand from England. I was initially drawn in by their cute packaging...I first discovered them on musingsofamuse.com which is a wonderful make-up blog that I recommend you check out if you are into makeup! I can only dream of one day having a blog as huge and successful as The Muse's! She has a tag for practically every brand imaginable and has reviewed what seems like thousands of products! :3

Anyway! On with the reviews!

I bought six products:



Lip Orchid in Petal Pink - a beautiful shimmery pink eyeshadow that comes in a little tin with a faux orchid on top! So lovely! It moisturizes your lip, smells good, highly pigmented, and lasts a while! Very much recommended!



Cheek Puff - a delicate whip of dark rosy almost translucent cream. It's very light and easy to rub into your cheeks for a great blushing look! I really adore this product especially the little peep on the box. :3



Shadow Taffy - soft, delicate, almost-powder almost-cream for your eyes. One swipe is all you need for velvety eye shadow. It does tend to crease so wear it with an eye primer!! The packaging is my favorite for this one. It's a little bird inside of a little gazebo-type thing and the bird is attached to the tin so you can take him with you on the go. :D The taffy comes in two colors in one tin --bronze and pink-ish.



Crystallizer - four different colors of beautiful, shimmery powder in one magical little ball. Comes with a black blotting pad. The jar itself could double as a mirror because of how reflective it is! Perfect for a night out!



Fairy Lashes + Mascara Set - beautiful, soft fake lashes that look like something out of a fairy tale for sure!! Comes with beeswax-based mascara. According to the site you can layer the mascara without buildup because of the natural beeswax. Will post pics of me wearing the lashes later!


Venus Pearls in Worship - sexy golden pearls in a bed of sleek, gold dust. If you take a pearl and crush it, it becomes PINK! These are available in other colors as well. Great for a gold + pink look. Truly luxurious, and they make me feel like a goddess!! :D
