Theshespace Cindy Swatches & EOTD

Here are the swatches for yesterday's SheSpace haul. All of the colors are a bit brighter in person and very shimmery with lots of sparkles. I think I'm going to get The Golden Rule in full size, and I was thinking of getting Rapunzel's Bad Haid Day and Short On Sass in full size but like I mention below they are very similar to NYX's Deep Purple and I can't justify having 3 of almostthesame colors.

Dupes:
-Rapunzel's Bad Hair Day & Short On Sass are both very similar to NYX's Deep Purple.

Lime Green is very sheer so I prefer Dragon Breathe.

Sky Pink & Pumpkin Head don't look the same in this photo but they are very close.

Turquoise came out looking bluer in this photo but the colors are the same irl.



UDPP
Cindy's Got Gumption (all over lid)
Pumpkin Head (crease)
Maybelline Great Lash mascara

Didn't think I would like CGG but it reminds me of hot chocolate and cinnamon.

Theshespace Cinderella haul!

For ref I ordered the 4th, it was send out Wednesday and arrived today (Friday). I haven't used anything yet so my opinions will come out when I do swatches tomorrow.

Out of the samples I'll probably get The Golden Rule, Sort On Sass, Repunzel's Bad Hair Day full size, and maybe the last two blues. I love the greens I got, especially Be The Fairytale.







These are from the regular collection.

Review: Mark Kiss Therapy Lip Balm in Sheer Peach


Help condition and soothe your lips with this blend of rose extract, honey and vitamin E that adds a sheer wash of color.

Quality: 3 out of 5
Package: 4 out of 5
Size: 0.42 oz
Price: $4
Where To Buy: Avon.com or Mark.com

This Super Smoothing lip balm comes in a cute coral colored tin. You'd expect it to smell like peaches because of the name but it actually smells very strongly of roses and you can smell it while wearing it. It doesn't have any color at all, I swatched it on my arm but it was totally clear so I didn't bother taking a photo. The balm is a bit thicker and heavier then I like, but its not sticky. I don't think it does all that much in the way of moisturizing so don't get it for that purpose. I prefer apply it with a brush.

All in all, I probably wouldn't buy this again. I like the packaging but the balm doesn't do anything for me.

Review: Jane Blushing Cheeks Blushes



Quality: 5 out of 5
Packaging: 5 out of 5
Size: .12 oz
Price: $4
Where To Buy: Walgreens, Rite Aid, Wal Mart. Almost every week at least one of those places has it BOGO too.

Lord I LOVE these blushes! For a super cheap drug store brand, Jane has sure impressed me (and many others) with these little pots of heaven! I think there are 8 shades in all, they are just $4 and incredible quality.

Blushing Earth Sheer is a hot pot of gorgeous peachy coraly goodness! I can't even begin to describe how beautiful this blush it. There is a very fine shimmer, but its not very noticable when you're wearing it. This goes on semi sheer but is buildable. I just get a lovely glow when wearing this. This is my favorite blush out of all the ones I own.

Blushing Blossom is a great soft cool pink blush. It has no shimmer. You only need a little bit to get good color. This is my 2nd favorite blush.

Blushing Petal is a great muted pink blush with a little bit of peach. There is no shimmer. Great color payoff.
