Irresistible Handmade Pigments From Innocent+Twisted Alchemy*



Hello darlings and happy Sunday to you all! I've got a new review for you today, as it really seems July has been a busy time for them! But I love sharing my thoughts and opinions with you and learn more about unique companies and their products.

I came across Innocent+Twisted Alchemy, a store that was on StoreEnvy which you may be aware of. I was looking through the make-up category completely in my element and then I saw these gorgeous glittery pigments... Linda Wan is the creator with so much talent. She makes both the Eye-shadows and the art/packaging for them too. So allowing me to review a few of her eye-shadows with you today has been an honour!

All comments and opinions are 100% my own and I've not been paid say them.




--------------------------------------------

On receiving the package, Linda had ensured that the products were protected by wrapping them within bubble wrap. I was thrilled to see such an adorable hand sized bag which looked so Kawaii and was so me! Inside were two full sized products and two samples (clamshells) I was overwhelmed by the quantity and when you see the pigmentation you will see why! She had also placed in a gorgeous art print card of her shop's logo and included a surprise coupon code, such a generous lady.

The shades which I received were:- Endless Rain Lavish Lollipops (1.63g), I < 3 when angels cry (1.63g), Life is a game - Sweet Pandemonium (sample size) and Regenerate (sample size).


--------------------------------------------

-Lavish Lollipops Eyeshadow $6-

This is from the 'Endless Rain Collection' I firstly adore the names she chose for each one, it feels like it's their own little character. Impressed with such a beautiful shimmer, Lavish Lollipops is a hint of lavender and mauve pink , with duo-chrome gold and golden shimmers. The quality is perfection, the texture is ever so soft to the touch which won't be harsh on the eye area. Its simple to blend too for that desired effect. I would suggest this shade for a bridal make-up, special occasion or evening wear. Please also note that these eye shadows are not lip safe but are also not vegan!
When the light hits these will shimmer wonderfully, I can really see the gold and lavender shade stand out softly.


--------------------------------------------

-007 I ♥ when Angels cry $6-

 This shade is perfect for a neutral pale highlight, a pink-ish tone with shimmers of gold. Within 
daylight the golden specks are captured, this is when 'I ♥ when angels cry' makes a natural 
or bronzed look, appear dewy and glowing. This would be wonderful to highlight the brow bone or
the inner corners of the eye to really make them pop! 
A soft velvet to the touch texture that can blend easily on the skin. 
Not lip safe but this eye-shadow is Vegan!


--------------------------------------------


-Sweet Pandemonium Clamshell $3-

For samples these clamshells of product are perfectly packed! Sweet Pandemonium is a purple with a gold shift and red shimmer, unfortunately the lighting couldn't give this much justice but you will see the purple hue on the swatches. I would suggest this shade for an evening look, ideal for smoky eyes. The shade can be built up in layers if necessary and softly blended out with a blending brush. 


--------------------------------------------


-Lovely Tomie - Regenerated Clamshell $3-

Regenerated is part of the "Lovely TOMIE" Collection. This set is inspired by the amazing horror manga "TOMIE" by Junji Ito. This is one of my favourite shades, it's a beautiful light copper which includes hues of purple and gold shimmer. This eye-shadow is only limited edition though! So do get it while you can! Ideal for both day and evening looks, especially for bridal as this would look amazing on photographs outdoors.

A big thank you to Linda for her generosity; which eyeshadow stands out the most to you? Let me know in the comments!

Even though some companies still test on animals, they do believe that it is unnecessary, unethical and is scientifically unreliable. As they want to be sure that their products are safe on humans, their products are rigorously assessed and tested by human volunteers.

BeautyEasier.com kindly sent me some of their products to review for my readers, all comments and opinions are 100% my own and I've not been paid to do so.


Products I will be reviewing - 28 colour shimmer make-up palette (smoky-eyes), 10 colour blush palette, Manly 64 colour eye-shadow palette and SixPlus Flat Top Synthetic Foundation brush

----------------------------------------------------

The 28 Colour Shimmer Make-up Palette for Smoky-Eyes



I was extremely excited on this palette's arrival, Mainly because I'm passionate on creating the famous smoky-eye look. My first thoughts were how reasonable the pan sizes were, for using this in a professional manner there is a well made layout of eye-shadows that vary in shades.
The palette was easy to open with a clear cover slip on top of the eye-shadows which helps protect but also keeps them hygienic when working on sets. The case itself is a firm sleek design which is easier to store and travel with; although there is no mirror inside this wasn't an issue for me personally and with the way I'd use the palette.
For 28 shades there is something for multiple looks that can be created, the way I'd use this palette for a smoky eyed look would be placing a darker shade on the outer corners, creating a slight winged v-like shape and blending it into the crease to then use a medium shade close to that colour for the middle of the eyelid blending it softly out. The shades provided can be both for an intensified or subtle look and are all a shimmer base finish. These shadows are highly pigmented and reasonably priced which includes Free shipping! A perfect palette for any make-up artists kit.


-----------------------------------------------------

10 Colour Blush Palette



Now this is a palette I've not had before, so to have the opportunity to review it I was over the moon! This is a 10 pan blush set which as you can see has an array of shades for every skin tone. From soft pastel pink to a pinch cheeked colour these matte blushes are perfect for both professional and day to day use. In single use the shades are an opaque full coverage, but with the texture being so soft they're much easy to blend to the desired consistency. Another thing which I loved about this palette was that you can use the darker shades for contouring! I'm very impressed with the quality of the product and is perfect for a make-up kit when you want to try both highlight and contoured looks.


-----------------------------------------------------

Manly 64 Eye Shadow Palette







Now this set is much smaller in size to the other palettes I would suggest it's easier for travelling with, with a total of 64 colours this is nicely layered within the palette. I was more surprised though of how small the single colour sizes were, at 1.6cm diameter it can be much easier to result any product fall out to mix with another; This would be my only fault with the product. As for the choice of colours, there really is every shade to create either a bright colourful look to a dark intense look the shadows also have a slight shimmer to them, some more than others, which should be noted but with a silky texture and wonderfully pigmented. The case itself is perfect for the products to slot into with a glossy finish its easier to keep clean!


---------------------------------------------------------

SixPlus Flat Top Synthetic Foundation brush



Last but not least is the SixPlus range that produce professional make-up brushes, This one I was sent is their Flat top foundation brush. This has a strong aluminium handle and synthetic hair which is so soft to the touch, it's perfect for a flawless finish. I used this brush within my normal make-up routine, even though it stated that it works best with mineral foundation I was tempted to give it a whirl with my Benefit Oxygen Wow liquid foundation. Only using a small amount I worked it into my skin, using the brush in a circular motion as it blended thoroughly. I can not explain how soft this brush is! It was an airbrush finish over all and worked perfectly even on the driest patches on my face. I'm very interested to see how the rest of their brushes are but this is perfect if you have sensitive skin or using a much lighter liquid foundation or powder/mineral.
