Color splurge.....




    Hey lovelies! I haven't posted in awhile, with the wedding coming up in just 17 days, I'm super swamped with planning everything in time. I'm so glad I have a wonderful family, they have helped so much with donating food, preparing for my dress, even helping with ideas and what to do for the ceremony and reception. 


    Anywho, I have an I-Candy Couture haul to be broken down to simpler pieces so you all can see what I got, what's best for you, and new releases that just came out!

As for updates for I-Candy Couture, Honey, Boss Lady of I-Candy Couture, has now started to post weekly newsletters to help with updating new releases, and discounted specials, such as pigment of the week, pigment of the month, and jewelry of the week, all at discounted prices! Also, Honey has formulated new lipstick colors, all perfect for any skintone and personalities! I haven't had the chance to purchase these yet, but you can get them in full sized jars, or sample clam jars. We also have new pre-order items for sale. All you have to do is email your order to I-Candy Couture's storefront. Also, the storefront is much more simpler to order.

So, with all of the rambling, here's what I got from I-Candy Couture!



   Hollywood is one of many popular eyeshadows I-Candy Couture has to offer. This is a really beautiful bright blue, and it has a nice pigmentation without a base or primer, which is a good thing for me, since I don't have awesome luck with blue eyeshadows being pigmented.


   
Audrey is one of many of my favorite eyeshadows from I-Candy Couture. I did a couple of looks with this minty green color, and it's so gorgeous all over the lid and under the lashline! It makes my dark brown eyes pop a bit more, and it has a sheer tint of sparkles, even though it looks like a matte color on camera right now. 
   
Fairy Love is a really pretty light green with blue, silver, and light purple glitters.It reminds me of Tinkerbell's outfit:)


Mi Amore is in I-Candy Couture's Valentine's Day love collection. It's like Candy Apple, but a deeper shade of red. I used it a few times on my lid and crease,and I love how it comes out on my skintone. It's not so overbearing, yet it has that subtle shade of red to play around with when your using it as a primary lid color.


    Cupcake Sprinkles is the one eyeshadow  I have been waiting for since I started promoting I-Candy Couture. This mineral eyeshadow is in I-Candy Couture's Eye Candy Line, which means any color in the Eye Candy Line will be there permanently, FOREVER! I love this eyeshadow, because it's a duo chrome of pink, purple, and silver. In different directions of light, it could be a purple-pink, to a purple-silver, to a deep pink color.I love love love this eyeshadow!






    Desire, also from I-Candy Couture's Valentine's Day Love Collection, is a pure silver color. Unlike Ice Queen,which is a dark grey silver, Desire is an ultimate platinum like silver color. Beautiful to use in the middle of your lid for a nice "3d" look on your lid.


    These glitters are amazing! I never had any glitters for cosmetic use before, but these are awesome. They're microscopic like, finely granulated, so they feel smooth, rough or irritating to the eye. You can use this for a dramatic sparkly look for a night out at the club, holidays, or a pop of color for your eye color to sparkle even more.


    This January, Honey did a special on pigment of the week, and pigment of the month. I took the advantage of purchasing these two for the sake of having them at half off their price each.Cupid is a great color for a highlight or lid color. Depending on how you apply it, it could be a shimmery white color, to a gold and white color. Super pretty! Lucky Jade is also one of my many favorite eyeshadows from I-Candy Couture. I recommended it to my mother in law's sister, and she looked beautiful with it on, so I had to have my own. This khaki green color is perfect for brown eyes!

    So here are the swatches of the mineral eyeshadows I got. I applied it with a dry brush with no base or primer. Lovely colors, I hope you guys will check them out!
