Surprise! It's a.....

I-Candy Couture Surprise

                You thought! Gotcha!:p Anyway, this is the long awaited I-Candy Couture Beauties Promo Package that I am so excited to show you! Because I am an I-Candy Couture Beauty, I receive mineral makeup products from I-Candy Couture, instead of mineral makeup and jewelry from them. I love their makeup products to heart, and I am very passionate about makeup artistry, so I-Candy Couture's products really take the cake. 

FTC DISCLAIMER: I AM A PROMOTER FOR I-CANDY COUTURE, BUT EVERYTHING I POST IS MY OWN OPINION, AND ANYTHING I PROMOTE IS 100% MY OWN OPINION. ALTHOUGH I DO GET THESE PRODUCTS FOR FREE IN EXCHANGE FOR PROMOTING THIS BUSINESS, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I WOULDN'T PURCHASE THESE AS A CUSTOMER. I AM TRULY PASSIONATE IN PROMOTING I-CANDY COUTURE, SO PLEASE SUPPORT THIS COMPANY!


For the record, this is my first I-Candy Couture Beauty package, so we got to choose what we would like. These products that I'm about to show you come in different sizes, so rest assured that you have options! My package came in on Friday, but I hadn't the chance to get it until today, St. Patty's Day!:)

It came in the usual manila envelope, wrapped in bubble wrapped, secured in a ziploc bag within a ziploc bag, and secured finally with a finishing touch of packaging tape. It took me about a good 5 minutes to get the bubble wrap off, because I didn't have a scissors:/, but it was worth it! Behold, the items!




        *1 From Left to Right: In Clam jars, Liliko'i, Rae (yellow), Destne146
        *2 Top Glosses, Left to Right: Enchanted, 24K Pink, Love Me
        *3 Bottom of glosses, Left to Right: Love Always, Forever, XoXo Blush



      In Sections *1 and *3, here are swatches of them!

           Because it was a sunny, then overcast day, the lighting was so messed up, but I got to say that these colors weren't chalky at all, and they glided onto my skin perfectly, without any creasing without an primer needed.

Going from Left to Right starting from top 2 colors:

XoXo Blush, and Rae

XoXo Blush has a warm tone, a rosy pink with gold toned sparkles for that warm toned color that you can use as highlighting, contouring, and blush all at once. 

Rae reminds me of sunflowers, although it doesn't have the orange tone sunflowers have, it should resemble happiness:)


Love Always, and Liliko'i

Love Always is a shimmery pastel pink, it looks a bit on the paler side of pinks, but it would be perfect for a highlight.

Liliko'i is my favorite orange eyeshadow! I wasn't fond of orange until I got this eyeshadow. It's similar to our I-Candy Couture Pumpkin Pie eyeshadow, but it's more on the pink-orange side, like orange shorbet.

Forever and Destne146

Forever is similar to Sincerely, but it is truly a deeper purple, when Sincerely can turn into a deep purple, then a taupe silver the next. 

Destne146, Honey's youtube username, is a lavender with magenta pink sparkles in them.When applied dry, the glitters stand out more. I'm not a fan with pastel colors, but this one does it!


These eyeshadows are pigmented, true to it's color, and I love the sparkles in them! We have a lot of purples and pinks now in the Eye Candy line, so I will be doing comparisons on eyeshadows that I find have more than 2 or 3 eyeshadows of the similar shade.

Here are the lipglosses and lipjelly I got:

                              From left to right: Love Me, Enchanted, 24k Pink
I used my fingertips afterwards, because your fingertips are much more effective with comparing it to your lips instead of your hand. From left to right: 24k Pink, Love Me, Enchanted



These glosses and lip jelly is super moisturizing, and they all have a subtle scent, each different, my favorite scent is from Love Me, I believe it's strawberry scented.

I did do swatches of these on my lips, all three at different times, but my lips were already rosy, so I couldn't get the desired color that I wanted to present on my lips. :/ Although, I do believe that these lip glosses would be more pigmented with a lip liner or lipstick under it.

24K Pink

 This lipgloss smells like cotton candy, and it has gold glitter in it. When applied at first it looked as if it would end up as a gold metallic lip color, but when spread all over the lips it comes to s nice sheer pink with a bit of gold shimmer here and there, super pretty:).

Love Me

I love love love this lipgloss! It's universally a clear lipgloss, but has a hint of silver sparkles, perfect to use on top any lip color! There are two things I love about this lipgloss; the fact that it's a clear lipgloss, and that it has a strong scent of strawberries! I love strawberry scents! 

Enchanted

This is my all time favorite lip jelly. It has a sheer burgundy color to it, so if I'm in a rush to go out, I can have moisturizing lips with a sheer color too! This lip jelly smells like a warm version of Vanilla, like the Vanilla you smell in candles...lovely:) I also like the fact that it's inspired by Beauty and the Beast, the Enchanted rose in the movie! Beauty and the Beast is on my top favorite Disney movies, along with Sleeping Bewauty, Pocahontas, and Ariel! I've come to love Tangled too,oh what the heck, I love Disney Movies all around!

Speaking of Disney, I-Candy Couture has a "Child at Heart" Disney Inspired eyeshadow collection, in full size and sample set! These are bright but gorgeous colors for anyone who loves color! I got the full sample sized set, hopefully it gets here soon! I love it when I-Candy Couture releases collection sets!
    Until next time, Stay Pretty:)
