Madd Style Halloween swatches

These are SO late it isn't even funny and for that I am sorry, I've been on a bit of a stricter budget and haven't been purchasing nearly as much as I was, there are also a few personal things going on keeping me from blogging. Anywho, on to the swatches of this incredibly lovely collection by the lovely Mo at Madd Style Cosmetics, these were from the Halloween grab bag that sold out crazy fast. There were two other Halloween collections as well, the Alice in Zombie Land and Shaun of the Dead collections, when I get those I shall post here as well. :)

Everything came in this cute pumpkin bag

Stickers, card, buttons and piggies, OH MY!

The bottom of the piggy jars with ingredients

A glitter and shadow sample. 

Blush sample! I'm totally into blushes and lippies right now, so it's perfect. 

This smells like happy and feels like silk on

Please don't mind my horribly chipped nails :/

The Bride. LOVE

Frankenberry, my new favorite highlight color!

Wolfsbane, love it and am sad the pretty orange sparkles did not show. :(

T-B The Bride, Frankenberry, Wolfsbane, Are You My Mummy?,  Fright Night Glitz and  Fan Girl (blush)

I love these shades and can see myself pulling them out quite often! I have a feeling The Bride will make an awesome liner and Frankenberry hasn't left my dresser since I got it because it is full of awesome. I hope you guys have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

Madd Style Cosmetics Stardust collection

The other day I got the Stardust collection by Madd Style Cosmetics in the mail and almost fell over from the awesomeness when I swatched them! Gorgeous, gorgeous shadows that blend like magical butter, I am in love. The collection is black based shadows with color changing glittery goodness. I found it really hard to capture their greatness in my swatch pics and assure you this collection is worth getting!

Stardust by Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite books and movies so when I saw this collection I had to have it and Mo really did the story justice with this collection. I hope you like this post and I hope you guys check out the collection, you won't be sorry!

Madd Style Cosmetics Happy Birfday collection plus 2!

I have for you today the Happy Birfday collection from Madd Style Cosmetics. I discovered them about a month or so ago and am glad I did, the colors are fun and Mo the owner is a doll. Also in this package I got two other colors that I had been eying for a bit which will be included in this post as well. All of Madd Styles shadows are vegan and cruelty free which of course is a huge bonus for us animal lovers. My packages usually ship out about 3-4 days after I order and I receive them about 3 days after that. I would definitely recommend this brand to anyone and if you like FB Groups definitely join their crazy colorful group here: Madd Style Cosmetics: The Makeup bag. PICS AWAY!!!!

No flash. Top to bottom: Glitter & Doom,Pants off Dance off, Charlie in the box, Mustard Danger, All Nighter, Not About The Money, Be Fearless and Play

 *Swatched over Concrete Minerals Electric Eye Primer

Color descriptions from site:

  *PANTS OFF DANCE OFF: a pearly/satin blue
* ALL NIGHTER: a gorgeous pearl black.
* BE FEARLESS AND PLAY: a metallic lilac purple.
* MUSTARD DANGER: is a grey-tinted yellow with rainbow shimmer.
* NOT ABOUT THE MONEY: a metallic/pearl seafoam green.


These colors all swatched well with two swipes of my brush. Like the other shadows I have from MSC they are very pigmented and smooth. My next order(s) will be of the Twisted Wonderland, Psychedelic Wonderland and Dr. Who mattes. You can still get the Happy Birfday collection here :Happy Birfday collection. Definitely check out Madd Style if you haven't before, I am sure you won't be disappointed!

I hope you all have a lovely Thursday and as always:

Madd Style Cosmetics first impression

Recently I found about Madd Style Cosmetix and figured I would give them a go, I am glad that I did. Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE 'Grease' and so when I saw they were putting out the Summer Lovin' collection I figured it was now the perfect time to try out Madd Style. The collection had 4 new shadow colors that were exclusive to the grab bag, a lip balm and a sample of their new Glow Bronzer. I have yet to use the colors in a look since I got them as my allergies have been acting up making me have watery eyes, but I was impressed by their smoothness and pigmentation when swatching them. Once the TAT was over, my package was shipped and received quickly. They were packaged in a bubble mailer and the shadows were wrapped in a cute little bag. Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase and will be purchasing more in the future. :)

The little bag everything was wrapped up in.

Everything together

A free sample: LOVED this color, definitely need a full size!

The lip balm, it feels like silk on and smells like happiness

Top to bottom: Tank Girl, Pink Ladies, Beauty School Dropout, T-Birds and Greased  Lightning (no flash)

My favorites of the bunch are Tank Girl, Pink Ladies and Greased Lightning though I really like each one.
