Crush Cosmetics Swatches+ Review

Happy Hump Day Lovelies! And hurray for the second day of Canadian businesses in beauty! oH Canada! Today I would like you to check out Crush Cosmetics. Based out of Vancouver, BC, Crush Cosmetics is run by Kym and Kristina. The etsy shop is absolutely eye candy to behold: lots of  vegan-friendly makeup. Not just limited to eyeshadows, they also have a line of pressed mineral blushes, lip glosses and lip balms, as well as bath teas and solid perfumes. So a lot of variety is packed into this cute little etsy store! You could create a whole look from Crush Cosmetics products alone. Sounds like the makings of a future blog post ;) I was given the chance to try two lovely eye shadows and have swatched them for you below.

On the left is My Immortal: an indigo blue with purple under tones. This colour looks quite complex  once on and I really like that. Everytime I put this on, I see something new :)

On the right is Lush: a kind of pinkish copper with a bit of a taupe undertone. I like my neutrals and this is definitely a colour you could rock out both day and night. At least I do ;) It also serves as a great backdrop for your lids.

Please check out Crush Cosmetics' etsy store and their blog as well. Thank you for letting me try your wonderful eye colours!

I was sent these products for the purposes of review. The thoughts and opinions expressed are mine own.

Black Sheep Lacquer Subscription Review

Happy Caturday, Lovelies! This first Caturday of June, I thought I'd introduce you to a brand new nail lacquer subscription. They ship to Canada and are partly based in Canada! Lovelies, I give you Black Sheep Lacquer. It is run by Erin and features some kick-ass, hand made lacquers. And now you can get a new one delivered to your door every month! Look at the cute little sheep on the packing tape! Hehe, such a cute attention to detail. Erin sent me a mini questionnaire to get to know what kind of scents and smells I liked or disliked. I received my box and was not disappointed! You receive a full sized nail polish, a new never before seen mini polish, a handmade beauty product, and other surprises.

I received Zig Zag Stardust, a cool handmade soap, a silver holographic polish mini and a funky chunky glitter ring! Erin even wrote me a little tip on the back of the business card: try these lacquers over black polish. The pics I took aren't the best:

 This is Zig Zag StarDust over a black nail polish. It kind of reminded me of a picture of the galaxy with all the stars! I have it swatched by itself on my index finger if you can't tell. I think it looks way better over another polish. 

This is the silver holo over black as well. I think I liked the Zig Zag Stardust better as the shimmery green added an extra layer of colour and dimension to the overall look.

Check out the etsy shop as well! So many great colour combos and polishes!

The Black Sheep Lacquer subscription per month is $18 and includes shipping. I think this makes an excellent gift for yourself or your fave polish lover :) You can sign up here and soon on their website. I will update this link once the changeover happens. Thank you again Erin, for letting me share this fun monthly gift with everyone!
