Beauty From the Earth Review

When BFTE introduced their blogger review sets the other day I jumped on it! They had several sets to choose from where you got 3 full size shadows and 3 sample bags for $12, I chose the matte set since I realized recently my collection is seriously deprived of matte shadows. Shipping as always was super fast and I had my package within 3 days of ordering the set. I even got a call from Crystal to make sure I didn't already have the colors she was thinking of sending me which was just another reason to add on my really long list of reasons why I love BFTE in the first place! All the colors I received I am really glad to now own and I can honestly say I have never felt disappointed in this company. I have been ordering for almost 2 years now and had a slight mix up one time and it was fixed quickly and professionally. Sadly, I haven't had time to really play with them and do a look with the new colors I received, but that will come soon and when it does I shall post. Now onto the swatches! :)

L-R Patriot, Grassy, Pride

Pride: A matte kinda lavender color. Blended nicely and was pretty smooth. 

Patriot: A matte dark blue, almost looks Navy in the pot (my camera made it look lighter. :/) Also blended well and I think it was my fav of the bunch. 

Grassy: A matte grass green color. Pigmented and blended well

Grassy

Patriot (for some reason this looks kinda purpley in the pic, I couldn't get my lame camera to get a good pic of it. ) :(

Pride

Top left: Pride Top right: Patriot Bottom: Grassy. (all swatches done on clean dry skin with no primer or anything)

Sample 1: Stunning. This name of this color is perfect a this really is a stunning shade of pink. I have had this color awhile and it is one of my favorite pinks in my collection! Very pigmented and easy to blend. 

Sample 2: Paradise. This is a beautiful frosty blue, looks kinda silver on my skin but I assure you  it is just my camera. Can't wait to play with this one more!

Sample 3: Canyon. I love this color and it will definitely be in my next order! Would be great for brightening the inner corner of your eye, as a highlight or for a day when you just want a light wash of color. It's a beigey color with some gold shimmer to it! 

Top left, Stunning. Top right, Paradise. Bottom: Canyon. Again, all swatches done on clean, dry skin with no primer or anything.

I forgot to mention up top that they came wrapped in black tissue paper and together in a little white bag. Also for those of you wondering, they always come with sealed sifters and the ingredients are listed on the bottom of the jar and are labeled as what they can and can not be used for. I HIGHLY recommend BFTE to anyone, they have excellent customer service and a huge array of colors to suit anyone's tastes. You definitely won't be disappointed if you do!

I hope all you guys and gals have a wonderful Monday!

Where to get BFTE: Beauty From the Earth

Struttin'

Today felt like a teal day so I decided to use one of my favorite teals of all time, Peacock from none other than Beauty from the Earth! It was a quick and simple look as I didn't have a ton of time this morning when getting ready for work and I kinda fudged up the liner on my left eye when I looked at the clock and started rushing. lol But overall I really like how it came out and figured I would share. I hope you enjoy and as always the products I used will be at the bottom after pics. :)

I hope everyone has a very lucky Friday the 13th and a great weekend. Thanks for reading! :)

Products:
Lid and crease: BFTE in Peacock (wet over lid with some dry patted on top for and blended it dry in the crease)
Transition color between crease and highlight: Glamour Doll Eyes in Brown Eyed Girl
Highlight and inner corner: BFTE in Beautiful
Upper and lower liner: Urban Decay 24/7 pencil in Perversion set with BFTE in Black
Mascara: Maybelline Colossal Volume in Black
Foundation: Bare Minerals Matte foundation in Golden Medium
Lips I had Glamour Doll Eyes' glamour gloss in Fashionista but I drank some coffee and it came off. :(

Hips, whips and strawberry lips,

Play time!

So I got off work today and decided to play around with some Beauty From the Earth! It has been cold and gray today so I decided to do something bright and very "Summer". I really like how this came out besides the top liner as liner is my weak point right now, hopefully that will get better sometime. Anywho, I hope you guys enjoy this look as much as I did. As always the products used will be listed after the pics. :)

My eye looks sleepy. lol

Thank you so much for looking and I hope you like my spur of the moment eye!

Lid: BFTE in Melon (wet with some dry on top)

BFTE Halloween Collection

 I got the Beauty From the Earth Halloween collection today and just had to share! Halloween is my favorite holiday next to New Years and so learning one of my favorite cosmetics companies was putting out a Halloween collection put me in a glee overload! The collection has 4 new shadows and a lip gloss along with COOKIES! Each color is stunning and the gloss is just a right amount of color for me since I usually prefer a more lightly tinted lip. Anyway, on to the pics!

          In sunlight: Top L-R Cat Eye, Bat Wing  Bottom L-R Spider Venom, Snake Oil

                                Indoors with flash (sparkles!)

                               The collection, the box is adorable!

                        Spider Venom, Cat Eye, Bat Wing and Snake Oil (clockwise)

 Snake Oil a gorgeous orange/gold, one of my favorite of the bunch and I can't wait to do a look with it!

 Bat Wing (had a hard time getting a good pic of this one) a beautiful brown/gold.

             Cat Eye is fantastic, another I am excited to play with!

 Spider Venom, I am in love with this color! I have a huge thing for purple anything and this is definitely up there with my favorite purples now!

      The gloss One Last Kiss, for me it is more like a tinted lip balm. I like how it feels on, very moisturizing and the lovely pink/coral tint it has I love and will definitely keep this in my purse!

All in all I love this collection and highly recommend everyone to get it ASAP! There were only 65 made, so get it while you still can!

Get the set here: BFTE Halloween Collection

Swatches done over Glamour Doll Eyes' Foil Me.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

I figured I would show this look though, I used all Beauty from the Earth pigments for it. You can find them here: bftecosmetics.com. Now on with the pics!

Hope you enjoy!
