The Company and Ordering:
I first saw Hi-Fi Cosmetics on Etsy awhile ago and had my eye on a bunch of colors. When I went to order Veronica had put her shop in vacation mode. So time went on and eventually opened back up for buisness. After more time went by Hi-Fi had a sale. In honor of the NON apocalypse , there was a $10 off of $20 or more. So I thought it was a great time to try this highly recommended company. I placed my order on May 22nd via Artfire. Artfire is very easy to use and most of the colors lists the ingredients , whether it's vegan, whether it's lip safe,size and description.
Shipping and packaging:
I ended up ordering the 5 shadows for $20.00 with the discount it came to $10.00. Shipping was $1.00 which is the best shipping ever. Now the shipping time did take a bit long but Veronica was experiencing alot of power outings and storms. She did update her Facebook page as often as she could. On June 6th I messaged Veronica about my order, she quickly messaged me back apologizing and stating that it should ship the next day and that she has been busy running errands that her husband who is away on military duty does. I can appreciate that being my brother is in the Army. I received my package on June 13th In a bubble mailer. My shadows came in bags. 4 in 1 bag and 1 in another bag. There was an invoice included as well as a business card and 2 samples baggies which were in another bag.
The Products:
I was so excited for the colors that I started using them immediately. I really like how the color and ingredients are on the bottom of the jar.
Another Day, Another Drama- "is a vibrant purple with ultra-fine cosmetic grade holo glitter and tons of pink and fuschia sparkle!"
This is a beautiful color and has made it to my favorite purples!
Punk Rocker- "is a dark pink metallic shade with LOTS of flamingo pink sparkle"
A very vibrant pink! You need sunglasses when looking at it! hehe .. This has also made it to my favorites!
Psycho Mind- "is a very dark and complex asylum of color-shifting magic!"
Very nice color! Make a fantastic smokey eye
Magic Spell- "is a bright-blue on a duochrome base, loaded with deep purple glitter!!!"
A pretty blue!!
Suicide Trees- "is a deep, metallic teal on an opaque black base! As beautiful as it is dark and ominous!" Wow.. just Wow.. This yet again has made it to my favorite collection!
Don't Forget The Violence (sample)-" is a shimmering bright blue with lots of turquoise sparkle!" Awesome blue! Looks awesome as a liner
Red Wine (sample)- "is a purpley wine color with lots of wine-toned shimmer!"
Very pretty color!!
L-R over E.L.F Eye Primer: Don't forget the violence, Red Wine, Suicide Trees, Another Day another drama, Magic Spell, Psycho Mind, Punk Rocker
Final thought:
Pros:
-Awesome colors
-Great customer service
-Easy ordering
-Secure shipping
-Found 3 favorites!
-Good price
-Supporter of the Military ( I know that's a bit personal but I am a HUGE supporter of the military)
-Descriptions on jar
Cons:
-Long shipping time ( I know that it was due to storms but felt it had to be mentioned)
Will I be ordering agian? Yes. Yes and yes!! I already have! This is a great little company and Veronica is an awesome owner!
*Product description came directly from the site*
A look I did using Another Day Another Drama,Suicide Trees, Punk Rock, and Don't Forget the Violence

Fryinnae- A Review
The Company and Ordering:
I have heard alot of good things about Fryinnae from other bloggers, especially about their pixie epoxy primer. I heard its amazing and their shadows are beautiful , so I decided to give them a look. Going through the pages of lovely colors I decided to place an order, But I wanted to try their pixie epoxy to see what all the hype is about. At that time they didnt have any so I created an account and put a couple mini shadows in my cart and waited. About a week later I heard that they had PE back in stock so I went ahead and placed my order. Now on the front page it says that there TAT is 26-28 days possibly sooner, which is kind of ridiculous but went ahead and placed an order.
Shipping and packaging:
My order was placed on May 17 and I received a shipping notice on May 22nd , so I am guessing that the 26-28 days is to cover themselves. My order arrived on May 26th in a bubblemailer. my pretties were wrapped in tissue paper. There was an invoice and a free sample included!
The Products:All the shadows came in a 3 gram jar with 1/3 tsp of product.
Darling misfit- "This is a deep magenta-pink with a contrasting aqua highlight"
Love this color! its subtle but bright.. works great for a wild and crazy colorful look or an everyday look!
Gigawatts- "Brilliant shimmery electric blue with flashes of gold sparkle"
Wow.. This is such a vibrant blue.. I was a bit overwhelmed by it at first.. lol but I love it!
Senyo- "Vibrant, shimmery, sparkling pink-hued purple"
It's purple.. need I say more..
Sleepy Hollow- "Lush ocean blue with a flash of sage green as the light hits, Sleepy Hollow has a touch of gold sparkle as well."
Makes a wicked awesome smoky eye
Sugar Skulls ( Free sample) "Vibrant deep pink, leaning warm but not overly so, with a glimmering orange (not gold!) highlight that adds dimension"
Very pretty pink!
Pixie Epoxy - To be used over primer. Gives the ability to rub shadows and not pat.
It took me awhile before I figured out to use this properly. Less is more.. This works great and really brings out the vibrancy in the colors!
L-R over E.L.F eye primer and Pixie Epoxy
Darling Misfit, Gigawatts, Sugar Skulls, Sleepy Hollow and Senyo
All these colors are super pigmented and blend beautifully!
Final thought:
Pros:
-Great color selection
- Very vibrant colors
-Easy blending
Cons:
TAT could be a bit long if your looking on getting your stuff quickly
Will I be ordering agian? Yes! I really like the colors and my TAT wasnt very long!
A Look I did using Senyo Gigawatts, Darling Misfit and Sugar skulls!

Inglot Review
By now most of you know about Inglot by now. I am sure you have seen tons of swatches and have read the love of this company from others. Well I recently bought from them and got to say I am impressed!! Not only the shipping is uber quick I ordered on May 26th and on May 28th got my package... Yes I said that right.. 2 days! Granted I live in NJ and NY is only 1 1/2 away from me, but still awesome quick! My order came in a bubble mailer , nice and secure!
I do have to say that using the site can be a little overwhelming at first but I quickly caught on.
I got the 5 pan palette which came to $5.00. (originally it was 10 but because I got 5 shadows it was discounted to $5.00) each shadow pan is normally $7.00 but the more you spend the less the price becomes, so they ended up being $5.00 each. Shipping was $7.00 which is a bit pricey but guessing it's cause its a heaver product. Tax was $2.59. Altogether it was $39.59.
Now for the colors
#362 Matte pink
Messed up on numbers 384and 362 while editing.. but colors are placed in proper colors#477 Double sparkle bright green
#384 Matte Green
Messed up on numbers 362 and 384 while editing.. but colors are placed in proper colors
#392 Matte purple
#372 Matte Teal
Ok I know I went a little nutty with the mattes but hey for $40 bucks I am gonna get colors I will use alot , and Wowzers do I use them alot! I use #372 the most, Its just about the perfect purple! I love the magnetic palette and fortunately I mastered getting the top off without nicking my shadows! (now that I said that I am jinxed for life lol). The shadows are super pigmented and blend beautifully! Only real downfall is there is alot of product dusting which means when you get the shadow out of the pan , there is alot of shadow loose in the pan
So will I order agian.. Heck yeah, when I have the moolah.

Venomous Cosmetics - A review
The Company:
This company has been on my want list for awhile. After reading some reviews I decided to go to the site and place an order. Venomous Cosmetics has their own independent site and is easy to navigate. Each set of products has their own section , i.e. loose powder, loose powder samples, lip poisons. They also have many other products to come in the future VC also has the coolest names for their shadows and they also have collections! I went ahead and chose my colors. I paid via paypal!
Shipping and packaging:I place my order on May 4th and on May 6th I had a conformation and a tracking number. On May 9th I got my package! 5 days from ordering to delivery!! Outstanding!!! My products came in a flat box. All items were VERY securely wrapped, and when I say securely.. I mean securely. Each of the items came wrapped in bubble wrap and the bubblewrap was taped. There was no way anything was getting ruined! Also came with 2 free loose powder samples! Shipping was $4.95
The Products:I got 8 loose powder samples, 3 pressed powder samples, An anywhere palette , and 1 purse size Lip poison
Full Size Powders are- $6.50 for a 5 gram jar wit sifter
Sample Powders are- $1.00 for 1/8 teaspoon
Full size Pressed are- $6.50 for 26 mm refill pan
Sample pressed are- $ 2.00 for a 15 mm pan
Lip Poisons are- $5.00 for a 5.9 ml tube
Lip Poison purse size are- $3.50 for 3.7 ml tube
Anywhere palette- $5.50
I think this is cute. I haven't seen an indie company do this.. Now I am sure others do but I haven't seen it . I also love the fact they have pressed samples!!
Loose Powder- Each loose powder comes in a baggies with the name and ingredients on it!
Surfing The Gold Coast- "Bright medium blue with gold sparkle"
A beautiful color, not one of my favs but I am glad i have it!
Lochness Monster - " Medium stormy blue"
Very lovely blue! Looks lovely with moon jelly!
Irish Countryside- " Medium green with green sparkle"
Is green, need I say more
Monster under your bed - " Black with green shift/shimmer"
I usually don't go for colors this dark but I am glad I got it! This color is GORGEOUS!!
Boomslang -"Sea Green"
I love this shade! I can't wait till I get a full size
Platypus- " Light to medium lavender"
I love this purple and am ordering a full size very soon.. This is an awesome of the awesome color!!
Rosie - "Medium mauve with slight pink and red highlights"
This is a pretty color, I haven't used it very much though
Moon Jelly- " Light lavender shimmer"
Wow this is a fun color and looks awesome as an inner corner color!

Caribbean Cruise- " Dirty teal with golden hints"
This is another one I got because of the name! Anyone who knows me through facebook knows that I am going on a Caribbean cruise in November, as for the color it is a bit dark but still lovely!
Lip Poison:
Fairy- "Purple toned pink"
I LOVE THIS color! I have worn it a lot and it looks fab!! Its non sticky and last a bit. Honestly I'm a smoker so I can't really judge on hour wise how long it stays. It has a nice peppermint smell and taste .. ( not that I'm eating my gloss but .. Oh you know what I mean lol)
Pros:
-Easy ordering
-Great color selection
-Super quick shipping
-Both pressed and loose shadows!
-Great blending and long lasting!
Cons:
