Lucky 107 - A Review

The Company:
Awhile ago I saw a review on a company called Lucky 107. ( I forget who did the review) But I was immediately drawn in. For 1 the logo is a clover and horseshoe.. and we know I'm nuts about clovers! I went on the site and browsed around. I was impressed by the variety of products ranging from shadows to primer and lip gloss and solid lotion. Lucky 107 offers 2 types of bloggers packs.. 1 for the up and coming reviewer and 1 for the experienced blogger.. Each pack has a set of stipulations for it. I met the criteria for the experienced blogger.. So I went ahead and chose my products and placed the order.. I did message the owner Rebecca about an extension on posting time .. I wasnt positive if I would be able to get the post out in the 2 weeks... this was right after my father passed away.. so didn't know where my life would be.. She replied back very sweetly and told me no problem.. to take my time.! So I went ahead and placed my order on Feb 15th

Shipping and packaging:


My order arrived on the 24th in a bubble mailer 9 days after I ordered... inside was alot of pretty stuff! 6 clamshells came in a plastic bag, 4 full sizes came wrapped in tissue paper tied with ribbon.. 2 lipglosses , 1 lip balm and a primer were wrapped the same way.. Inside the 2nd plastic bag was a free sample , invoice and buisness cards. All in all very cute wrapping and presentation.


The Products:


Shadows:

Liz-beth : "a shimmery green with bright yellow undertone & flecked with 'fairy dust'


Super pretty color!! It loves my lids!


Suckerpunch: "a shimmery, steel blue"


Very light and lovely color.. reminds me of the movie.. not sure if that's what Rebecca was going for.. 


Beauregard : "a magenta-undertoned pink"


Makes a pretty smokey eye


Donna: "a firey red with orange undertones"


This color is different then I thought it was going to be.. not in a bad way but different..its super pretty but not a color I would use alot.


Iris: "a periwinkle blue with violet duochrome' (got in LOL letter)


"OMG.. I can't express how beautiful this color is.. It looks great on the lid , as a liner.. in the corner.. This has made it into my favorite shadows box"
                                     (L-R Suckerpunch,Donna,Beaureguard,Iris,& Liz-beth)


October:  Pink with pink sparkles


Very nice color... looks amazing on the lid


Frostbite: "bright, rich blue with flecks of white glitter"


Looks crazy awesome foiled


Cocoa: "a deep, naturally shimmery brown"


This color has a goldish tone to it.. I love it!


Zombie Bitch: "an earthy green with violet iridescence & punches of purple glitter"


This color is amazing.. one of my favorite greens
                                           (L-R : Zombie Bitch,Cocoa,Frostbite & October)


Pluto is a Planet: "a medium purple with blue duochrome, bursting with blue "sparks" & white glitter"


I love the name but the color is darker than I thought is was going to be


Nibs: "an olive drab, matte, brown"


I have mixed feeling with this color.. I like it but I don't .. I'll have to use it a bit more to have more of an opinion.


Scrum-diddli-umptious:  "a shimmery silver with undertones of brown"


Unique and makes a great crease color


                                       (L-R : Scrumdiddliumptious, Nibs, & Pluto is a planet)
Everything Else:


AnnaBanana" Lip Gloss: "a soft, buttery nude, banana flavored gloss.'


1 coat is nice but 2 coats is too yellow for everyday for me


Beach Bunny" Lip Gloss: "a soft, dusty rose, raspberry flavored gloss"


Absolutely lovey color..
(I cant find the swatch for this.. and have no idea where it ran off to)
"Vamp-Kiss" Lip Blush: "a lovely lavender with blue sheen, caramel apple flavored tinted lip balm"


I really like this.. not too purple for everyday! 


Concrete Primer: "our own special blend used to create our eyeshadow primer that is available in an 11ml* squeeze tube."


Now for the primer.. This is an easy to work with primer.. and you only need a tiny bit. This works well for short time use and swatches but as far as for all day use it creases alot.. 
                                                        This is after about 5 hours in a bar

Final thought:

Pros:

-Good customer service
-Variety of colors and products.
-Decent Shipping time
-Cute packaging 
-Great Colors
Cons:

-Primer didn't work for me for long time/all day use

Will I be ordering agian?  Yes! Already picking items out. Lucky 107 is a cute company and I am sure will become an Indie fav in no time! I can't wait to see more gloss and other products Rebecca comes out with!!





Have you tried Lucky 107 yet?

And special thanks to Rebecca for hanging in there with me while I get this post up!!
