I made this purchase on a whim- I didnt research the company before hand or wait any amount of time before I made a purchase. I forget where I actually found Glitter Sniffer but I decided to purchase when she advertised 5/$15- I thought this was such an amazing deal. I should have known something was wrong with this company when she was selling through her Facebook and sending invoices through email instead of Artfire or Etsy. I ordered two sets of 5 so 10 total- in my instructions I did ask for bright colors- no neutrals. It took me about a month to receive my purchase. I ordered on March 5th, paid through Invoice on March 6th, received a shipping notification on March 20th. I finally received my package unharmed. Many people did report problems with their packages 'exploding' in the mail. Others had reported that their eyeshadows were gritty and her swatches also looked gritty. Everything was okay with my eyeshadows. I still have yet to actually wear them on my eyes just out of pure laziness on my part.

I will not order from this company ever again, currently she is shut down out of business but if she comes back in the future I will never order again. She has horrible customer service, possibly unsanitary production, recalled pigments and a whole mess of other things (for more info visit this link)

I will say overall she has beautiful colors with high pigmentation and glitter content. I did receive a brown shade called Santa Fe' that I personally can not stand because it is dark matte brown and dry appearing. If you would like this eyeshadow feel free to message me on Facebook and I will send it your way- only ask that you pay shipping if you want it.

Glamour Doll Eyes Swatches!

So I got my order today from Glamour Doll Eyes! I've swatched these once again....and as a side note, swatching is kinda messy! Lol

There samples are pretty small, they seem like maybe 1/4- 1/2 of a tsp. I guess I can probably get a few uses from these. I ordered 8 of their samples, they also give you 2 samples for free. A friend of mine also got some samples from Glamour Doll, and I just wanted to add that there Holly Wood glitter looks strangely similar to the Holla Glitter from TKB. The rest of the samples look pretty original. I like the colors, they seem to be pretty vibrant. Honestly I actually had a bit of a hard time getting them off when I went to go clean up before bed. I had to scrub them off with a wash rag. The glitters were off course harder to get off considering the base. I still had glitter all over my arms!

I swatched the glitters and shadows I got from Glamour Doll Eyes. I ordered 5 glitters...the order of the glitter swatches is as follows: Rave, Techno, Fierce, Glowstick and Hot Mess. These were put on with Pixie Epoxy as a base. The shadows are as follows: Melancholy, Pinky Swear, Ladies Night, Immature, Electric Lemonade (Free) and Phyrra (free). These are kind of hard to see with or without flash on my camera, so apologies! Overall I’m totally in love with the glitters, because well…who wouldn’t be! I’m considering ordering some full size jars, but I haven’t decided 100% just yet. Glamour Doll Eyes does seem to have a nice selection of colors and uses for their shades. All of the ones listed above are lip/eye/face safe. A side note on that- for some reason these are coming with a little sticker on them and they just say ‘lip safe’ so it really had me confused wondering if they weren’t eye safe, but the website does indeed list them as being eye safe.

I’m still waiting on one more order to come in now…I ordered from Hi-Fi cosmetics on Dec 29^th, this is taking forever. She does have on her site still that it takes 12-15 Business days…I finally got some communication today though. I have been waiting for a response to make sure my order is in process…. I’m not at all sure how I feel about this taking so long though. I sure hope that these eye shadows are worth the wait. I feel like if I’m giving you my money I should receive some form of communication or updates on my order. I don’t want to be too demanding because I understand holiday rush, but this wait just feels kind of extensive. Hopefully I will be getting my order soon.

I’m totally a junkie for eyeshadow!!!!

I also wanted to share these...These photos are from TKB's Indian Blue. I put Pixie Epoxy on first and wore this color for the day. The shadow last a long time! Again, I had to take this one off with the wash rag.

My first run with Pixie Epoxy

So, I'm still somewhat new to the pigments world....I just discovered them in the last two years or so. I've always loved bright colors and in just regular shadow you really don't have much selection. I love wet application, it makes the colors so bright and vibrant like they look in their containers. I just started using a base (primer) within the last few months, my first purchase of primer was from Mark (Avon). It's call Please Hold Eye Primer...I didn't have so much success with it. I never really noticed a difference in using that versus using nothing. So my pigment collection so far consist of MAC, Aromaleigh and Micabella. Yesterday I wore a bright green MAC and a dark green from Aromaleigh, and even though MAC is the more expensive choice, the Aromaleigh actually lasted quite a long time- this was with no primer. The MAC came off wayyy before I went to bed, and the Aromaleigh was still on when I woke up this morning! (yes, I'm a bad girl that doesn't take her make up off before going to bed)

So a good friend from work who is equally as crazy as I am when it comes to eye shadow (okay, she's more crazy than I am!) gave me her sample of Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy! Thanks Molotov Cupcake! Today I decided to use that before work to see what the results would be....and let me just say that I am SOLD! My make up is still on. I applied my make up this morning around 11:30 and it is currently 12:27...its still just as bright as when I initially put it on. I'm going to attach some photos to show how long lasting it is. Silly me, I didn't take a picture this morning after I put it on, but I promise you I'm not lying! I've always loved Fyrinnae's website but haven't had the chance to purchase anything just yet...but tomorrow...oh yes, tomorrow is pay day! Pixie Epoxy here I come!

On their site Fyrinnae says that Pixie Epoxy is "'A must-have for shimmery, sparkling shadows! This is not an eye shadow primer, or really a base. It is to keep sparkles on or to make shimmery shadows appear "glossy": a foiled look without foiling.'" I would just like to add that it does in fact hold on regular pigments without the shiny/shimmer look.

I have also found in the past that Aromaleigh has a lot of fall out, though they have beautiful colors and a great product, it simply gets everywhere! The Pixie Epoxy seems to have reduced that quite a bit this morning when I was applying. The color actually had something to stick to instead of just dropping off of my eye.

Though its only the second primer I have used, I do strongly recommend it. Feel free to chime in with your opinions on the best primers!



Ps- Aromaleigh has been closed so unfortunately no more options to buy from them...RIP Aromaleigh!

Repackaging...

I'm curious as to what everyone's thoughts are on this topic. Is it ever okay?

If I purchase pigments from TKB Trading in bulk amounts and remix the colors and sell, is that considered repackaging? I haven't actually done this, but I'm just wondering what the guidelines are here in the pigments world.

If I specifically purchase bulk amounts of say.... MAC and intend to sell them in samples, is that considered repackaging?
