Review: Mazzie Cosmetics!!!

Hey Everyone!

Today I am reviewing Mazzie Cosmetics for you all! Mazzie Cosmetics is a local company out of New Hampshire and the products are sold through Etsy. Rachel is the owner and she is so sweet and was kind enough to send me some of her shadows to review! I am all about supporting Indie brands so I jumped on the opportunity to review these products!

Rachel sent me 5 of her shadows to review, so let's get going with the swatches!

• All photos are taken in artificial light with flash.
• All shadows are swatched over Too Faced Shadow Insurance.
• I will use Mazzie Cosmetics' description of the shadows, followed by my own.

Left to Right: Apocalyptic, Nitro, Muck, Tombstone, & Dollface

Left to Right: Apocalyptic, Nitro, Muck, Tombstone, & Dollface

 Apocalyptic:

• MC: Shimmery gold/brown.
• ME: Apocalyptic is a gorgeous peachy gold shadow with a brown undertone.

Nitro:

• MC: Shimmery gold/silver.
• ME: Nitro is a golden taupe shadow with what seems to be a dark silver/brownish undertone.

Muck:

• MC: Shimmery dark brown.
• ME: Muck is a dark brown with golden shimmers throughout. This brown leans toward the warm side.

Tombstone:

• MC: Unfortunately this shadow isn't on the site anymore :(
• ME: A bluish silver with a blackened undertone.

Dollface:

• MC: Shimmery pink/purple.
• ME: Dollface is a pink shadow with a purple undertone.

All I can say is I absolutely love these shadows and I am so impressed with the pigmentation and how great they wear! These shadows last all day and I only noticed minimal fading during a 12 hour day! The shadows have just the right amount of shimmer and shine, but aren't overwhelming.

My favorites out of the bunch are Apocalyptic, Nitro, and Dollface!

As you may have noticed, Dollface came in a larger 10 gram jar while the other 4 came in a smaller 5 gram jar. The 10 gram jars cost $5.00 (YES ONLY $5!!!!!!) and the 5 gram jars cost $2-$3. These shadows are extremely budget friendly and are a fantastic value for the money!

I really hope that you all enjoyed this review and I would highly recommend you try out Mazzie Cosmetics if you are looking for some amazing shadows that are kind on the wallet!

Hi Everyone!!!!

I am here today to show you the new collection that Glamour Doll Eyes will be releasing May 15th, 2013! The collection is in collaboration with Author Teri Brown. Teri actually contacted me a while back to come up with something very special for this collection, which will also be released May 15th so make sure to keep a lookout for that ;-) I will post it here on my Blog, Twitter, and Facebook!

The Born Of Illusion Collection consists of 3 eye shadows, which are inspired by the book that will be releasing in June!

Now onto the swatches!

• All eye shadows are swatched over GDE Control Freak Primer.
• Photos taken in artificial light with no flash unless stated.
• The only photo editing done was exposure adjustment, cropping, and straightening of photos. 

Left to Right: Deception, Levitation, Illusion

Deception is a gorgeous slate gray shadow with multidimensional shimmer throughout.

Illusion is a gorgeous white with a purple iridescence to it; it's one of my favorite shadows that Glamour Doll Eyes has come out with!

Are you planning to pick up this collection? I would highly recommend reading the book! It's absolutely fantastic and a great read :)
