Review: OSLO Cosmetics - Meteoroid, Sextens, Pictor, Milky Way, Lyra, Aquaii, Grus, Pyxis, Andromeda, & Eye Bond Primer Wand


Hello darlings!  Today I have several products from OSLO Cosmetics to share with you, which was received for review purposes.  Awhile ago Joyce, the owner and creator of OSLO Cosmetics, had contacted me asking if I would like to review some of her products.  Of course I said "Yes," and I am glad that I have done so.  Just like me and many others, Joyce is a makeup junkie.  So yay!  She designed the OSLO Cosmetics line simply because she wanted to share quality products with the world.  Her products are 100% Vegan and cruelty free, not to mention handmade.


The Eye Bond Primer Wand: $7 (may be seen in the picture above) comes in a clear tube, that is sort of lipgloss like.  It has a sponge-doe applicator, and a clear base that is sticky to help hold on to the loose eyeshadow a bit more.  What is also nice about the Eye Bond Primer Wand is that it will also condition your skin as you wear it.  All of the swatches for the loose eyeshadows were applied over the Eye Bond Primer Wand.  After playing with OSLO Cosmetics for a few days now and testing the products against my every day errands to just the weather, I discovered the primer really held up the loose eyeshadow I was wearing until it was time to remove it.

I had received two of her blushes: a full size of Pictor, and a sample size of Sextens.  The blushes when purchased come in a 10gram jar and in loose powder form.  Both of the blushes which I have received could be bought as a single for $7 each, or you may purchase it within the Arc Blush Collection (it comes with three other shades: Indi, Gemini, & Equilus).


Pictor:  is a shimmery light pink blush that has gold shimmer within it.  You could either use this as a blush or a highlighter.


Sextens:  is a gorgeous deep matte with a cranberry shade.  You could build up on this product.  I didn't use that much on the swatch so I could show that a little could go a long way.  That goes with a lot of the OSLO Cosmetic products.


Meteoroid:  $4 is one of their Cosmetic Glitters that they carry.  Meteoroid is basically fine gold glitter with holographic tendencies.  For a full size glitter you get it 5 gram jar.  I have something planned for this wonderful glitter later, and will eventually share with you.

Review: Star Crushed Minerals' Blushes - Light Primrose, Peachy Sheen, Mauve-o-lous


Today I have some blushes to show you from my gal Edith's shop, Star Crushed Minerals, which was sent to me for review purposes.  She created Star Crushed Minerals based upon her past experience with cosmetics.  She wanted something more natural and healthy instead of having high end cosmetics.  And let me tell you, her products are fabulous and I have not broken into pimples since using them.



The top jar is Light Primrose, and the bottom two (left to right) is Perfectly Peach and Mauve-o-lous.  These are sample sizes which contain 1g of product.  Can you believe that all her samples come in jars AND sifters?!  Honestly love that it comes like that instead of the typical ziploc bags.  As most of you know are a pain at times!  Her full size carries 2.5g of product.
