Makeup Fairyz Review

I recently had the pleasure of trying out a few samples of different products from Makeup Fairyz.

Cherries ala mode, Teena Marie, Pecan Sandies 

I'd like to start off this review by mentioning that this is a VERY new company that has only been open about 6 months. I'm sure as time goes on they may decide to tweak some formulations and make other changes so please be aware that this is my review of how things are at this moment. I think this is a pretty unique business, and I look forward to watching them grow as time progresses..

The other thing I would like to mention is that my post office just destroyed this envelope. It was taped really good with some sort of decorative duct tape and the whole bottom of the envelope was still ripped open so I'm not sure what the heck happened to it. I do not think I lost any samples, but some of them got a little scrunched up and the names wore off. I really cannot comment much on the presentation of the products just due to the fact that I don't think that's an accurate representation of what a customer usually gets. I'm also unsure of the names of a few of the products because of that same situation. Please bare with me here lol.

L-R: Willow, Party Animal creme shadow, Smurfberry Souffle, Fair Maidenz creme shadow, Teena Marie, Cherries Ala Mode, Pecan Sandies, Cinnamon lip slickz?, A purple creme shadow?, and Bad Gurlz Browniez scented lotion & solid perfume

1. Bad Gurlz Browniez Scented lotion & solid perfume:

First of all I absolutely love the Bad Gurlz Browniez scent. It is a rich chocolate fudge brownie scent mixed with a hint of sharp organic cannabis. What I like about this scent is that the chocolate smell doesn't smell fake or cheap. I am usually very picky about fragrances that use hints of chocolate because to me sometimes it smells like plastic or something. This definitely smells rich and exotic. I also like how long lasting the scent is without being overpowering. I sometimes have trouble with heavily scented lotions due to my super sensitive skin. I was really impressed that Bad Gurl Browniez didn't irritate my skin at ALL and was actually very moisturizing. I like these two layered for a fragrance that lasts 6+ hours. These both came in clamshells, but I do believe the lotion is now available in a large size along with some other yummy scented lotions.

2. Fairyz Dusts:

I enjoyed all the dry fairyz dust colors very much. I especially love how vibrant Cherries ala mode is. Willow is just a tad bit pinker and less sparkly but the two photograph very similar. I thought the overall quality and pigmentation of all of them were very good. I think a few of the more pigmented colors could possible stand to be a tad bit more blendable. I think for a new company the shade range they have is pretty unique and fun.

3. Creme Shadows/slickz

Now all of these say they are lip safe except the one I couldn't read so I am assuming that these double as a lip color as well. At least I hope so..because I tried them all on my lips lol. I LOVE the party animal shade not only as a creme eyeshadow but definitely as a lip gloss as well. It's a very bright Barbie pink with tons of silver glitter throughout. Fair Maidenz is a creamy metallic brown shade and also looks nice on lips as well as  eyes. I believe the gold colored creme is actually lip slickz cinnamon lip plumper. I am not sure how much plumper it makes my lips look but the gold shimmer is gorgeous alone or over lip stick. I really enjoyed all three of these and would purchase full size versions for sure. I think the texture and consistency of these is just perfection. Party Animal is filled with glitter and isn't gritty at ALL. I like these a lot.

Overall my first impression of the Makeup Fairyz is a good one. I like their creative style and friendly down to earth approach to their business. The owner seems very sociable, and like you could probably easily come to her if you had any issues with an order. I've heard lots of great things about her customer service from others as well. A lot of products are only available in clamshells or sample sizes but I think that is something that's in the process of changing. Their prices & shipping seem reasonable for their quality. I would definitely purchase full size versions of most of the products I tried.

Are you loving their bright reds or what???

I'm falling in love....

....With these special edition items from my favorite indie shops. What did you think I meant? ;)



Anyways I am SO not into cheesy hallmark holidays, but I do like makeup and pink girly stuff so I thought a lot of the limited edition stuff was worthwhile this year. I've already reviewed Ragdoll's Bath & Beauty's Conversation Hearts collection-which was spectacular. So I figured I would briefly cover a few more things that I received lately and really loved.

1. Pretty Addictions's I Love You set/Sweetie Pie collection 

The set includes 4 eyes shadow colors, a blush, and a luminizing powder. All of it came packaged in an adorable tinsel filled hard plastic heart. All of the eye shadows came in 5g jars without sifters while the luminizer was in a slightly smaller jar (3g I believe?) with a sifter, and the blush comes in a generous 10g jar with a sifter. The colors are all very finely blended, and super pigmented (especially the blush!!). The colors included in this set are:

1. Coconut Cream- A pure bright white with just a hint of shimmer.

2. Strawberry Cream- A shimmery pastel strawberry milkshake pink.

3. Banana Cream- A pale creamy yellow.

4. Choco cherry Cheesecake- a shimmery dark brown filled with red and gold glitter. My favorite of the bunch!

5.Shattered pearls luminizer- A gorgeous pinkish white shimmery highlighter. Think benefit highbeam in powder form.

6. Sex kitten (blush)- A HOT pink with blue undertones, and iridescent blue glitter. MUST SEE.


I was so impressed by the pigmentation of all the colors for starters. Pastel colors are kind of hit and miss for me, and these ones were definitely a hit. I am absolutely in love with the shattered pearls, and the blush. It really doesn't look like a wearable blush shade at first lol. GO EASY with your application and you'll be fine though. Pretty Addictions is a company I am fairly new to shopping with but I have to admit I am already a big fan. I plan to do a more in-depth full review of this shop at some point soon but this should give you a little taste of how wonderful their products are. :)

love this blush..no really, I do 

2. JujuBead's Jewelry Valentine's day set #1

Jujubead's Jewelry tends to offer little combination sets from time to time and they are always a great deal. This one is particularly cute. It comes with 2 limited edition pieces of makeup (an eye shadow and tinted lip balm) and a pair of delicate crystal heart earrings embellished with tiny silver bows. Um..I seriously think I liked the cute box for the earrings as much as the earrings themselves lol. Juli is the queen of cute packaging! All of it comes wrapped perfectly in a small decorated organza bag. 

The eye shadow is a pale rose pink with an antique gold shift. It is probably one of the most gorgeous pinks I currently own. Mixed with a small amount of clear gloss or balm, this makes quite a pretty lip gloss color as well. The tinted balm in this set is a super shimmery pinkish nude called "Secret Admirer". I am addicted to this balm and I am hoping she mite consider keeping this one around for while. I really like how pigmented it is without being dry or thick feeling. The sugared strawberry and white chocolate scent is very pleasant and almost smells like a real fresh strawberry. The earrings as always are beautifully crafted and one of a kind. The sweet bows combined with the fuchsia crystals are so feminine and almost have a lolita flair to them. 

Juju never disappoints!  

omg look at the tiny cute box!

3. Abigail's Boutique Designs Satin Sheets wickless candle

Okay, so you're probably like "Wait, this isn't makeup....". And no it's not makeup but let's not forget that Abigail's Boutique Designs does so much more than just make great mineral makeup. You may or may not be aware of this...but Robyn makes the best smelling candles on Earth. I don't know what she does special nor do I care. All I know is that her scents are beyond amazing. Forget about Scentsy forever and just get yourself one of these wickless candles. 

I didn't really know very much about wickless candles previously in all honesty.

They are actually a lot cleaner, and safer than traditional candles. Just heat them up in the appropriate candle warmer and in minutes your entire house will be filled with your chosen scent. This limited edition scent is really hard to describe. It's kind of clean, floral, and almost powder scented? It smells soooo good. I thought the little heart in the middle was a cute touch too. This candle came in a square glass jar, and was packaged in a very pretty decorated box. It is a pretty big candle and i've already used it a few times without even making a dent out of it. I imagine these last quite awhile. I definitely am going to need to get more of these candles in different scents.

Annnd of course you know AbbyGirl has a special mini-collection called Urban Valentine out as well :)

RagDoll's Bath & Beauty: Conversation Hearts collection

Soul Mate, Too Cute, and XoXo

Ragdoll's Bath & Beauty has done it again. Another gorgeous, unique and totally fun holiday collection!

The Conversation Hearts collection is a sweet candy-themed collection consisting of 6 pastel colors. They match the color of the real candy conversation hearts perfectly. These colors are as always very bright and vibrant! While a few of them look pretty matte, they indeed have a very subtle shimmer. I would say these are less matte than the Halloween collection, but I do like their soft shimmer. In my opinion these are SLIGHTLY less blendable than some of RDBB's past collections but these still all apply very smoothly. I really really like these when applied over NYX white eyeshadow base. The base tends to really grab onto the pigments and keep them super bright all day long. These colors stayed on me very well with minimal fading or creasing as the day wore on. For a softer pastel look simple use them dry over a good primer and blend away.

The Conversation Hearts Collection includes six of the following shades:

Soul Mate: A gorgeous soft lavender with subtle shimmer.
XoXo: A bright sunny yellow with subtle shimmer.
Too Cute: A minty seafoam green with subtle shimmer.
True Love: A pure white with very subtle shimmer.
Kiss Me: A vibrant sherbert orange with subtle shimmer.
Be Mine: A bright rose pink with very subtle shimmer.

Dry no primer natural lighting

I would try to narrow it down to my favorite shade, but honestly I love them all. Kiss Me is probably the most unique of the bunch (I so do not have an pastel orange like this in my collection). These aren't your typical everyday colors but they are all surprisingly wearable. This collection is great for those who love pastel or brighter colors.

Xoxo, Be mine, Kiss me

Soul Mate, Xoxo, Too cute

AS ALWAYS her packaging is amazingly cute. The sample set comes wrapped up like the cutest little love letter. I think these extra touches really add something to the whole purchase experience. The care put into putting together every single order is evident. This is one of my favorite things about RDBB! Not to mention every ingredient is listed on every single jar-even samples. It's very professional. I feel very confident in saying that this is a shop that will never ever disappoint you. You'll definitely want to snag this collection for either yourself or your valentine. As always sample sets are available as well as full sized collections at her shop HERE. Also be sure to visit Rag Doll's Bath & Beauty on their facebook fan page HERE to see upcoming collections first!

The Conversation Hearts collection is available for purchase later on today :)

Jujubead's Jewelry Review

I fell in love with Jujubead's Jewelry's ear cuffs, and other whimsical jewelry designs when I first discovered the shop last year. Since then she has also released her own line of mineral cosmetics which includes mineral eyeshadow, primer, lip products and mineral foundation. As you may know I also recently became a promoter for her shop.

I don't know if I have said it before on here or not, but I'd just like to say that I would never promote or encourage anyone to buy anything I do not love (and use) myself. I think it's important to really believe in whatever you are promoting.

And Jujubead's Jewelry is definitely something I believe in!

Let's start by talking about the jewelry. The thing I love the most about this shop is that they have a very distinctive style. You can look at a piece and know right away who made it. I think it can be difficult to find unique jewelry even among independent shops. I see copycats of the same jewelry constantly on Etsy.

 Jujubead's Jewelry designs are very clean, and meticulously crafted. They offer a wide range of different ear cuffs and earrings, and are now starting to make a lot of gorgeous new necklace designs. Now I know you're thinking of some big gaudy metal thing from the early 90's when i'm saying "ear cuff". These are soo not gaudy or outdated I promise. Ear cuffs are actually coming back into style here in America and they are already popular in Japan. I personally think they look quite stylish ;) These ear cuffs are also much more comfortable than you would guess they would be. She offers a traditional cuff, or a handmade wire wrapped cuff for those who do not have cartilage piercings in their ears. Don't fret if you do have cartilage piercings though.. as she will gladly swap out the cuff for a stud! I forsee these being a big trend in the near future.

If you are less daring, and just want something girly that's dripping with crystals Jujubead's has that covered as well. They offer many beautiful sparkly things for less than $10!

so sparkly in the light!

Next up is their mineral makeup which is fairly new.

Jujubead's colors L-R: Sugar Daddy, In Da Nude, Defeated, Hazelnut, and Midnight Rain

I have only had the chance to try 6 colors of her eyeshadow so far (and one tinted lip balm that I am OBSESSED with) and I really liked all of them. They blend really well, and last a long time when used with a primer. I really like that they have a finely blended powdery texture. Most shades are very shimmery and sparkly while still being really smooth, and never gritty. As I said before this company is very new at selling mineral makeup so she doesn't have a million shades yet, but there definitely is a good variety so far. I do not  have any of her bright shades yet, but I do plan on ordering a bunch and reviewing those soon. From what I have seen though her pinks and purples are amazing! (and I'm missing out lol)

As for other things of interest.. her shipping is super fast!! Everything is packaged really securely to protect your little trinkets. I love all the special touches she puts in all her wrapping and packaging. She even provides you with instructions on how to care for your crystal jewelry, and also how to use her mineral makeup. In addition to everything else Jujubead's has some amazing customer service. That is the main thing that attracted me to this particular business in the first place, and it's also the reason i'll always be a customer. I am pretty sure anyone else who has made a purchase from Jujubead's Jewelry or even just interacted on Juli's facebook fan page will agree with me.

I think the only "con's" for me about the makeup would be that I would like to see shrink wrapped jars in the future to prevent accidental glitter explosions lol. I also like to see jars with ingredients on the back, but she does provide you with a list of all the ingredients and is always happy to answer any questions about them. So for me neither of these things are a big deal.

Sugar Daddy- A sparkly money green

Hazelnut- A medium tan brown filled with glitter and shimmer

Midnight Rain- A true navy blue filled with silver glitter 

In Da Nude- A peachy light bronze with a golden shift. Very shimmery.

Defeated- A shimmering sparkly eggshell white

Dry no primer- natural light

All in all I think this is a wonderful business you should check out for yourself. Keep an eye on Jujubead's Jewelry's facebook fan page HERE to keep updated on the latest styles of jewelry and makeup products. She often has sales, ear cuff of the week, color of the week and just recently dropped the prices of all her makeup! Get your very own ear cuffs HERE and HERE.
